You are that man, at the crossing

Six panels. A wolf catches Chigurh's coin in its teeth and pays it to a hooded ferryman waiting by his boat with a goat and a cabbage. The ferryman rows the goat across. Alla Pugacheva, hugging the wolf on the shore, sings: "Но нас с тобой соединить паром не в силах" ("But no ferry can bring the two of us together"). The ferryman rows the wolf across; the wolf, paw on his shoulder: "я убью тебя, лодочник!" ("I'll kill you, boatman!")
