Quote #10

"You gave your word to my husband to kill me?"

Carla Jean Moss doesn't understand Anton Chigurh's code of violence and refuses to respond to it. When Chigurh tracks her down so he can keep his word to her (dead) husband, Carla Jean is frankly baffled—and not interested in playing his silly coin flip game. But refusing to participate in a violent system doesn't allow you to step outside it. It's still going to get you—just like Chigurh gets Carla Jean.
