Peste Bubónica

– How well do you know Chigurh?
– Well enough.
– That's not an answer.
– What do you want to know?
– I'd just like to know your opinion of him. In general. Just how dangerous is he?
– Compared to what? The bubonic plague? He's bad enough that you called me. He's a psychopathic killer but so what? There's plenty of them around.
– He killed three men in a motel in Del Rio yesterday. And two others at that colossal goatfuck out in the desert.
– Okay. We can stop that.
– You seem pretty sure of yourself. You've led something of a charmed life haven't you Mr. Wells?
– In all honesty I can't say that charm has had a whole lot to do with it.
