: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?
:58:02
Never been out of it.
I'm going to beat that fat man...
:58:06
...with that curly hair and
those diamond rings and that carnation.
:58:11
This boy is crazy! They wiped the floor
with him and he wants to go back.
:58:16
- What for? Another beating?
- You'll get your money back!
:58:21
He thinks I care about the money.
I care about you.
:58:26
Do you care about me, Eddie?
:58:29
We were together a long time,
night and day.
:58:32
So how do you say goodbye?
:58:35
You give me the car and $100.
:58:39
Do you think I care about the dough
or the car? I care about you.
:58:46
This boy is the greatest pool hustler
you ever saw.
:58:49
A high-class con man.
He can charm anybody into anything.
:58:54
Did he tell you how well we did
on the road? We had everything.
:58:58
We ate well, we slept late...
