Daniel Plainview: Are you envious? Do you get... envious?
Henry Brands: I don't think so.
Daniel 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.
Daniel 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?
Daniel 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?
Daniel 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.
Daniel Plainview: What's this? Why don't I own this... why don't I own this?
丹尼尔?普莱恩维尤:这是什么?为什么我不能拥有它……为什么?
Daniel Plainview: Now run along and play, and don't come back.
丹尼尔?普莱恩维尤:现在离开尽情地去玩吧,别回来了。
Daniel Plainview: Ladies and gentlemen... I've traveled over half our state to be here tonight. I couldn't get away sooner because my new well was coming in at Coyote Hills and I had to see about it. Ladies and gentlemen... if I say I'm an oil man you will agree. I'm a family man; I run a family business. This is my son and my partner, H.W. Plainview. Now you have a great chance here. I fix like no other company in this field. I have a string of tool teams ready to put to work; that's why I can guarantee to start drilling and to put up the cast to back my word. I assure you, ladies and gentlemen, no matter what the others promise to do, when it comes to the showdown, they won't be there.
Daniel Plainview: [to Paul Sunday] If I travel all the way there and find out that you're a liar, I'll find you and take more than my money back, is that alright with you?
Daniel Plainview: If you have a milkshake and I have a milkshake and I have a straw and my straw reaches across the room and starts to drink your milkshake. I drink your milkshake! I drink it up!
