:56:07
From a rich old man
who used to be my lover.
:56:23
Hello, Eddie.
:56:28
Hello, Charlie.
:56:32
Come on in.
:56:36
- That's my girl.
- Hello, Eddie's girl.
:56:43
I looked all over for you.
:56:45
- How did you find me?
- I asked around.
:56:51
- Do you want me to go?
- No. Stick around.
:56:56
- Can we get you a drink?
- I don't want to be no bother.
:57:00
Don't play it small.
It don't look good on you.
:57:03
- How do you want me to play? I'm broke.
- So am I.
:57:07
Sit down.
:57:09
Would you get us a couple of drinks?
:57:12
You walked out on me. No goodbye,
no nothing. Like a thief in the dark.
:57:18
We were partners, more than partners.
:57:22
He was like a...
:57:25
- A son.
- Yes, like a son.
:57:29
I've known him since he was 16.
The first time I saw him in Oakland, I said:
:57:34
"This is a talented boy.
This is a smart boy."
:57:39
Talk to me.
:57:42
I want you to come back
on the road with me.
:57:45
I have no stomach
for that kind of life anymore.
:57:49
What is your life like here? Playing the
small rooms, winning a few bucks a day.
:57:53
I'll connect. I'll get your money back.
:57:56
Do you intend to play Fats again at Ames?
Is that what's on your mind?
