What would you like Eli?

Plainview:
I'm finished.

Plainview:
What's this? Why don't I own this? Why don't I own this?
Al Rose:
That's the Bandy tract. He was the holdout, when we were doing the buying? He had hoped to speak with you... Can't you just build the pipeline around this tract?
Plainview:
Can I build around fifty miles of Tehachapi mountains? Don't be thick in front of me, Al.
Al Rose:
I can go to him again...
Plainview:
No, I'll go and talk to the man. I'll talk to him, show you how it's done.

HW's Interpreter, George:
[speaking for deaf H.W] I'd prefer to speak to you in private.
Plainview:
You can't speak. So why don't you flap your hands about and have what's-his-name tell me where you've been. Or do you think I don't know?
HW's Interpreter, George:
This is hard for me to say. I'll tell you first: I love you very much. I've learned to love what I do because of you. I'm leaving here. I'm going to Mexico. I'm taking Mary, and I'm going to Mexico. I miss working outside. I miss the fields. It'll only be for a time, for me to do my own drilling, and start my own company. It's time to make a change.
Plainview:
This makes you my competitor.
HW's Interpreter, George:
No. No, it's not like that.
Plainview:
It is like that, boy... Your own company, huh? In Mexico... You're making such a misstep. So, what are you doing?
HW's Interpreter, George:
I know you and I have disagreed over many things. I'd rather keep you as my father, than my partner.
Plainview:
Then say it! You got something to say to me then say it, I'd like to hear you speak instead of your little dog, woof woof woof woof woof woof woof!
H.W. Plainview - Older:
I'm going to Mexico with my wife. I'm going away from you.
Plainview:
That wasn't so hard, was it? You're killing us with what you're doing. You're killing my image of you as my son.
HW's Interpreter, George:
You are stubborn. You won't listen.
Plainview:
You're not my son.
HW's Interpreter, George:
Please don't say that. I know you don't mean it.
Plainview:
It's the truth. You're not my son. You never have been. You're an orphan. Did you ever hear that word? You operated here today like one. I should have seen this coming. I should have known that under this all, these past years you've been building your hate for me piece by piece. I don't even know who you are because you have none of me in you, you're someone else's. This anger, your maliciousness, backwards dealings with me. You're an orphan from a basket in the middle of the desert. And I took you for no other reason than I needed a sweet face to buy land. Did you get that? Now you know. [Plainview whistles mockingly]
Plainview:
Look at me. You're lower than a bastard. Mmm-hmm. You have none of me in you. You're just a bastard from a basket.
HW's Interpreter, George:
I thank God I have none of you in me.
Plainview:
[H.W. and George get up and begin to leave the room] You're not my son. You're just a little piece of competition. Bastard from a basket, bastard from a basket. You're a bastard from a basket!

H.M. Tilford:
We'll make you a millionaire while you're sitting here from one minute to the next.
Plainview:
What else would I do with myself?
H.M. Tilford:
Are you asking me?
Plainview:
What else would I do with myself?
H.M. Tilford:
Take care of your son. I don't know what you would do.
Plainview:
If you were me and Standard offered to buy what you had for a million dollars, why? So, why?
H.M. Tilford:
You know why.
Plainview:
Yeah, you fellows need to scratch around in the dirt and find it like the rest of us instead of buying up someone else's hard work.
J.J. Carter:
[defensively] I've scratched around in the dirt, son.
H.M. Tilford:
Where you going to put it all? Where? Build a pipeline, make a deal with Union Oil, be my guest. But if you can't pull it off, you got an ocean of oil under your feet, with nowhere to go. Why not turn it over to us? We'll make you rich. You spend time with your boy. It's a great discovery... Now let us help you.
Plainview:
[after a long pause] Did you just tell me how to run my family?
H.M. Tilford:
It might be more important now that you've proven the field and we're offering to buy you out.
Plainview:
[stares at Tilford for a long moment] One night, I'm gonna come to you, inside of your house, wherever you're sleeping, and I'm going to cut your throat.
H.M. Tilford:
What? What are you taking about? Have you gone crazy Daniel?
Plainview:
Did you hear what I said?
H.M. Tilford:
I heard what you said, why did you say it?
Plainview:
You don't tell me about my son.
H.M. Tilford:
Why are you acting insane and threatening to cut my throat?
Plainview:
You don't tell me about my son.
H.M. Tilford:
I'm not telling you anything! I'm asking you to be reasonable, if I've offended you I apologize.
Plainview:
[leans towards him] You'll see what I can do.

Plainview:
Eli! Tragedy at the well last night.
Eli Sunday:
Yes, I heard.
Plainview:
Joe Ghunda was a man of considerable faith, so if you wish to say a few words, his burial's at noon, tomorrow.
Eli Sunday:
Daniel, this accident could have been avoided. It is terrible to think of that well working away out there, unblessed...
Plainview:
Yes it could have. These men are working twelve hour shifts and they need their rest. If they don't have it, they start to make stupid mistakes...
Eli Sunday:
I've seen some of the men drinking. Don't you think that has something to do with it...
Plainview:
We need these men well rested to bring in this well. They can't get that if they're up here listening to your gospel, and then the well can't produce and blow gold all over the place...
Eli Sunday:
I wish I had more time with Joe Ghunda. More could have been done...
Plainview:
And then the well can't produce, and blow gold all over the place. Now, would you see to it that his personal possession's find their way back to his family, please? Thank you. Heard you were planning some renovations?
Eli Sunday:
Yes. Our congregation is growing strongly. We need more room.
Plainview:
Well, that was one goddamn helluva show. [chuckles and walks off]
Eli Sunday:
We were happy to have you, Daniel.

H.W. Plainview:
[Paul Sunday has just sold information to Plainview] How many sisters do you have?
Paul Sunday:
Two.
Plainview:
What's your name?
Paul Sunday:
Paul.
Fletcher Hamilton:
Does any of your family know about the oil that you say is there?
Paul Sunday:
I don't know. My uncle always said there was oil there, but I don't know what they heard, or what they think.
Fletcher Hamilton:
What do you grow?
Paul Sunday:
It's goats, it's a goat farm. I told you, nothing grows but weeds.
Fletcher Hamilton:
Is there water?
Paul Sunday:
It's salty. You drill a well, it's hard not to get salt water. The oil is there. I'm telling you. I want to go now, so...
Plainview:
You can stay tonight.
Paul Sunday:
No, I want to go now. I want to leave.
Plainview:
Listen, Paul... If I travel all the way up there, and I find that you've been lying to me, I'm going to find you, and I'm going to take more than my money back, is that alright with you?
Paul Sunday:
Yes sir.
Plainview:
Alright then.
Paul Sunday:
Nice luck to you. God bless.
Plainview:
And to you, young man.

Mr. Plainview?
Plainview:
Yes?
Paul Sunday:
Are you Daniel Plainview?
Plainview:
Yes. What can I do for you?
Paul Sunday:
You look for oil?
Plainview:
That's right.
Paul Sunday:
What do you pay for a place that has it?
Plainview:
Well, that depends.
Paul Sunday:
What does it depend on?

On a lot of things.
Paul Sunday:
If I told you I knew a place that had oil, where land could be bought cheaply, what do you think that would be worth?
Plainview:
Oh, I think that uh... you should let me know what you know, and, uh, and then we'll try and work something out.
Paul Sunday:
Can I sit down?
Plainview:
Please.
Paul Sunday:
[Paul sits down] What church do you belong to?
Plainview:
I... I enjoy all faiths, I don't belong to one church in particular. I like them all. I like everything. Where are you from?
Paul Sunday:
That would be telling you. That's what I want to sell you.
Plainview:
What are you doing in Signal Hill?
Paul Sunday:
We have oil and it seeps through the ground. Do you want to pay me to know where it is...
Plainview:
Well, just because there's something on the ground doesn't mean there's anything beneath it.
Paul Sunday:
Why did Standard Oil buy up land?
Plainview:
Is it in California?
Paul Sunday:
Maybe.
Plainview:
How much land they buy?
Paul Sunday:
I'd like it better if you didn't think I was stupid.
