What is Call It?
1.
To call it a day, to end the current task.
Right, I'm going to call it, that's enough for me.
2.
A line repeatedly used by Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem) in No Country for Old Men. It's how he decides whether or not to kill a person.
Anton Chigurh: What's the most you ever lost on a coin toss.
Gas Station Proprietor: Sir?
Anton Chigurh: The most. You ever lost. On a coin toss.
Gas Station Proprietor: I don't know. I couldn't say.
Anton Chigurh: Call it.
Gas Station Proprietor: Call it?
Anton Chigurh: Yes.
Gas Station Proprietor: For what?
Anton Chigurh: Just call it.
