There Will Be Blood Quote

Plainview : [ Daniel has covered his face with a napkin ] So Standard offered us a million dollars for the Little Boston leases, and I told H. M. Tilford where he could shove that, and we made a deal with Union! On the pipeline! And that whole ocean of oil underneath our fields!
H.M. Tilford : [ to his tablemates ] ... 150,000 dollars...
Man : We needed the money to drill.
Man : I go out to meet him. He's getting oil on the property. We're trying to make a claim on it. Offered him a million dollars. Turned us down flat.
Plainview : [ growing frustrated ] All right. [ stands up, walks over and leans in to Tilford's face ]
Plainview : I want you to look over there. [ points towards H.W ]
H.M. Tilford : Daniel, let me introduce you...
Plainview : Look over there, you see. That's my son. You see him? You SEE?
H.M. Tilford : I see him.
Plainview : You don't tell me how to raise my family. I told you not to tell me how to raise my family. So, what do you see?
H.M. Tilford : I'm very happy for you that...
Plainview : Yes, I've made a deal with Union and my son is happy and safe.
H.M. Tilford : Congratulations. Excellent...
Plainview : I'm taking care of him now, so... You look like a fool, don't you Tilford?
H.M. Tilford : [ long pause ] Yes.
Plainview : Y-y-y-yes, you do.
H.M. Tilford : [ embarrassed ] Excuse me gentlemen...
Plainview : Oh, excuse me gentlemen. Excuse him, gentlemen. [ to Tilford ]
Plainview : I told you what I was gonna do. [ drinks Tilford's whiskey ]
