I think Plainview's closing line to his butler is one of the classic closing lines in film history. It says so much about how far he has come and where he is at that moment.

Instead, we see a man who has spent his entire life to build a fortune only to end alone and unhappy - in a sense a washout but in the greater sense of the word in that he is alone which, in my opinion, is worse than being poor.
