1:09:01
Well, that's mine. I like that car.
1:09:04
I get a new one every year, because I know
what guys like you and him will do.
1:09:09
I made enough off you the other night
to pay for it twice over.
1:09:12
In that case, you owe me another drink.
1:09:17
Eddie?
1:09:19
- May I get personal?
- What have you been so far?
1:09:23
Eddie, you're a born loser.
1:09:28
What's that supposed to mean?
1:09:30
It was the first time
I'd ever seen Fats hooked, really hooked.
1:09:35
- But you let him off.
- I got drunk.
1:09:38
Sure you did.
You have the best excuse for losing.
1:09:41
No trouble losing
when you have a good excuse.
1:09:43
But winning, that can be heavy
on your back, too, like a monkey.
1:09:48
You can drop that load with an excuse.
You have to learn to feel sorry for yourself.
1:09:52
It's one of the best indoor sports, feeling
sorry for yourself, and enjoyed by all.
1:09:57
- Especially the born losers.
- Thanks for the drink.
1:10:01
- Wait. Maybe I can help you.
- To do what?
1:10:05
- Get the $3,000, play Fats again.
- Why?
1:10:09
Ten reasons, maybe fifteen.
Also there's something in it for me.
1:10:13
- I figured that. How much?
- 75%.
1:10:16
- For who?
- For me.
1:10:20
That's a big slice.
Who do you think you are, General Motors?
1:10:26
How much do you think
you are worth these days?
1:10:28
I'm supplying the money and time,
for that I get 75% return, if you win.
1:10:32
- You think I can lose?
- That's all I've seen.
1:10:35
- You saw me win $18,000.
- You want to hustle pool, don't you?
1:10:40
The game isn't like football.
Nobody pays you for yardage.
1:10:43
When you hustle,
you keep score real simple.
1:10:45
At the end of the game, you count
your money to find out who is best.
1:10:49
Why back me, then?
Back yourself, play poker and get rich.
1:10:54
I am already rich, but I like action.
That's one thing you're good for, action.
