There Will Be Blood Quote
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 : What else would I do with myself?
H.M. Tilford : Are you asking me?
Plainview : What else would I do with myself?
