Why did he even bother making his offer to Llewelyn? In practical terms, there was virtually zero chance that the offer could have been redeemed (no pun intended). Perhaps Anton intended it that way.

Think about it. The offer was, "Give me the money, and I'll let her [your wife] go." These two guys had just been in mortal combat a few hours earlier, so they don't much like each other at this point. Even if Llewelyn cools down and accepts, how is delivery supposed to work? Anton will naturally suspect a booby trap, or an attack at a given location. The whole point is that both men have to have some awareness of a given time and place, which makes an attack highly probable.

The Big Lebowski suggests one possible answer: the aggressor commands the quarry to drive around randomly for a bit, then drop the package in a general area and keep moving. But even so, one doesn't rule out a booby trap.

The implication is also that Llewelyn is dead no matter what he does (whether by the other Mexicans or him), so why would Llewelyn even want to engage with a silly proposition. It was a bullshit offer with no reasonable way of being redeemed, even if Anton himself is too autistic to realize it.

>>211716927
I thought the offer was the money to be delivered and basically Llewelyn needed to surrender as well? He needed to give his own life for his wife to survive.

>>211717638
this
it's a literal scenario

>lay the money down right here and I will ensure I go away, taking the heat of the mexican cartel with me and your wife will be left alone
>you're going to die though

Elyn is way too optimistic, the mexican cartel already were following the mother/wife.
They kept them alive because Elyn would go to them eventually.
If Elyn didn't they would torture the wife to draw him out.

>>211717747
He would've been fine if his mother in law didn't have such a fucking mouth on her.

>>211716510 (OP)
He was probably for real

> the MC could have kept the 2 million if he didn't go back to give agua
really makes you think...

>>211720286
He already had the tracker in the case dumbass

>>211720286
>>211720376
always bothered me he didnt immediately count the money to find the tracker, throw it, and THEN keep the money

>>211720376
ok and he could have found the tracker like he did anyway but without the guy knowing his name

>>211720452
I get why he wouldn't do that right when he found it, but my head wouldn't let me get an hour out before I checked everything in the bag. It was the 80s though so people weren't as worried about being tracked 24/7

>>211720524
Id be counting every single dollar in my car before I left

>>211717747
who the fuck is Elyn?

>>211721015
holy kek
saved

>>211720168
Nah they already scouted her, they knew exactly what bus, etc
they were scouting all exits out of the cities looking for an old woman/young woman matching that description.
gotta remember the amount of money they are talking about was enough to pay every mexican in the state ten times over to get the money back.

the only reason the mother/wife weren't taken immediately is they wanted everything to seem natural so that "Lew" would eventually go to them. Which is where the cartel would get him and the money.

>you wouldn't count the money when you got home
Bravo coens

So this retarded book and movie wants you to believe that there is a GPS/satellite tracking device in there, what? Lmao, you retards really only like dumb movies.

>>211722555
>unlimited batter tracker which tells you where somebody is
In the 80s, by the way
Fucking retards.

thats bretty gud

>he thinks that's the same as that retarded shit in no country for old men
You're so smart because you like this movie.
kek
There was never such a device in the 80s like in that retarded movie

>>211721015
Best post of all time.

>>211721015
lmao

>>211722981
>my zoomer brain simply cannot fathom anything before the airtag

>>211722555
it was called a transponder in the movie and the bad guy needed to get pretty close before it could be detected at all

not hard to believe they would throw that in with 2 million dollar bag

>>211723079
>they gave this non-existent device a real sounding name therefore it's real
Only brainlets like No Country For Old Men.

>>211723070
>my zoomer brain thinks it's real because it was in a movie
Embarrassing

>>211723148
transponders do exist though

>>211723079
Time travel is real. It's called the flux capacitor. Just watch the documentary called back to the future.

>>211723148
>>211723192
We could have had a fun exchange but you blew it by going full retard too early. Try again next thread?

>>211723204
Sure, they aren't tracking devices like in no country for old men, retard, keep digging that grave even deeper with every reply.

>>211723258
airplanes have transponders too
you are just trolling. it's ok to think the movie is overrated but that's a pretty lame reason to hate it

>>211723294
>no arguments
Keep seething, you're so smart because you watched a movie and liked it.

>>211723320
You're just braindead. It's okay. No such tracking device existed in the 80s. Keep going, your meltdown has been hilarious so far.

Even in the 80s wouldn't a redneck have watched enough Columbo or Charlie's angels to suspect a transponder?

>>211723381
you are retarded and have no imagination if you get this butthurt over a signal getting tracked back and forth
also I studied electrical engineering in university. I don't care to argue with you

>>211721015

>>211723433
He's attempting a /tv/ meme but doesn't realize rapid fire samefagging kills the bit

Wouldn't retards trying to defend no country for old men's """transponder""" look it up and find out that they're completely wrong about it?

i know it's the crux of the movie but if Llewelyn hadn't gone back for the Mexican AND somehow found the tracker earlier, would he have gotten off with the money scott-free? Surely back then it would have been easier to disappear.

>>211721015
there was a very good version of this posted in the early days of the covid, anyone have it?

>>211723433
>it's real
>it's real
>it's called transponder
>well, transponders are real, but don't work like they do in the movie
>it's not real, but you have no imagination
I accept your concession

>>211723513
Nah, he would have told his chick why they were leaving and she would have blabbed to her stupid friends or at least her mother. By the time they went to collect the mother the greasers would be waiting for them.

How does this guy even get money as a contract killer if he keeps killing everyone around him, including his employers, coworkers, collateral npcs, etc...

Doesn't make any sense

>>211723556
it's not like they had to buy it on amazon

It’s a reddit film.

>>211723626
Jej i always wondered that too.

maybe that was the first time anton got assigned to get a big bag of money

>>211723381

#TROLLED LOLOLOL

I’d tell that chump I’m gonna kill my self and burn the money in the middle of nowhere and he’s gonna fail in his task, also that I don’t love my wife and if he killed her he’d just be doing me a favour. See if that tricks him

>>211716927
>>211717638
Did you even watch the movie? Anton made it clear to Moss that he was gonna kill him no matter what. The offer was essentially "sacrifice yourself to save your wife"

>>211722718
They had small simple transmitters back then, though you needed a pretty big fucking antenna to catch the signal, and you had to be pretty close to get it.
