Plainview: Are you an angry man, Henry?

Henry Brands: About what?

Plainview: Are you envious? Do you get... envious?

Henry Brands: I don't think so.

Plainview: I have a competition in me. I want no one else to succeed. I hate most people.

Henry Brands: That part of me is gone... working and not succeeding- all my failures has left me. I don't care as much.

Plainview: If it's in me, it's in you. There are times when I look at people and I see nothing worth liking. I want to make enough money that I can move far away from everyone.

Henry Brands: What will you do about your boy?

Plainview: I don't know. Maybe it will change. Does your sound come back to you? I don't know. Maybe no one knows that. A doctor might not know that.

Henry Brands: Where is his mother?

Plainview: I don't want to talk about those things. I see the worst in people. I don't need to look past seeing them to get all I need. I want to rule and never, ever explain myself. I've built my hatreds up over the years, little by little, Henry... to have you here gives me a second breath. I can't keep doing this on my own with these... people.
