Bwahahahaha. Love this waitress.

Well just click on it to watch on YouTube.

When I first watched the movie, I assumed she was a real waitress who actually worked there but found out she was an actress. She passed away a few years ago.

It's a great scene in a great movie. I think Hell or High Water mostly flew under the radar, which is too bad.

Great frickin movie.

It was an awesome movie and yes it did fly well under the radar. This is a fantastic scene.

I asked someone "What don't you want?" just the other day.

"We ain't got no goddman trout." is one of my favorite movie lines of all time. I've known a couple of salty old Texas gals just like that.

Everyone in this scene does a great job, but let us not forget that without the writer, Taylor Sheridan, that scene would not exist. The line "What don't you want?" is pure genius.

"That warn't no question."

Her name was Margaret Bowman. She died in 2018. She also played the Del Rio motel clerk in the Coen's No Country for Old Men. "You got to choose the option that goes with the applicable rate!"

It's a toss-up if that line was written by Cormac McCarthy or the Coens. My money would be on McCarthy.

One of my favorite movies, a definite sleeper, picked it up on a whim. I like westerns, I like border stories, outlaws and robbers, and all that. It's got some silliness to it that'll give you a laugh, but at the end it'll make you think some. Some bad guys are just bad guys from the beginning. Others are forced into it by powers too great to care, or notice, but there's still going to be someone there who does care, who does have to do something, because it's their job. Life is complicated like that, and everyone is some mixture of son of a bitch and saint, nobody is clean.

You'll think there is 10 of me! I thought the ending where the Ranger and Robber have a conversation was very well done.

Again, an indication that everything starts with the writer.

I just said “What don’t ya want” to my wife the other day. Love that movie!

The first time I saw it and saw what happened to Gil Birmingham caught me by surprise. Bridges’ acting was superb.

Gil Birmingham is phenomenal as well. I'd love to see him in more leading roles.

Completely agree. Birmingham was great as well. I read where he and Bridges are great friends in real life and Bridges had a real problem with some of the lines he had joking about Birmingham’s race in the movie.

.

Taylor Sheridan has a pretty impressive resume so far.
Played one of the Sheriffs on Sons of Anarchy
Did the screenplay for Hell and High Water and Sicario (1 & 2)
Wrote and directed Wind River
Yellowstone, 1883 and 1923
Tulsa King
Mayor of Kingstown

A bunch of stuff with excellent writing and dialogue!

Check out "Under the Banner of Heaven".

Yup, another movie favorite of mine, with a fantastic story, brilliant acting including some great supporting actors, some fantastic cinematography, and good scoring.

Gil Birmingham also had a recurring supporting role in several episodes of the series House of Cards, in which he played a casino owner on an Indian reservation.

Many great scenes. The gas station fight is pretty perfect

And Ben Foster is such an underrated actor. Everything this guy does is fantastic.

Chris Pine and Ben Foster co-star in The Contractor which was released in 2022. It's nowhere near as good as Hell or High Water, though.

My favorite scene is when they are robbing the bank and they ask if any of the customers are packing guns. I believe it is Buck Taylor, who was Newly in Gunsmoke responds and I may be paraphrasing, "Damn right I'm carrying a gun. This is Texas!"

The Academy Awards have been rendered meaningless by Hollywood’s self-importance, but…Gil Birmingham should have been nominated as Best Supporting Actor for Wind River. His portrayal of the grieving father was magnificent.

Para mentioned No Country for Old Men in this thread. This is a certainly an aside, but we had granddaughters in the house last weekend. I was blown away by the role played by Javier Bardem in Lyle, Lyle Crocodile. He was malevolence personified in No Country, in Lyle, Lyle he’s a never-was stage entertainer. The two roles couldn’t be more different.
