1:22:03
Like a jockey must feel sitting on his horse,
with all that speed and power underneath.
1:22:08
He's coming into the stretch,
the pressure's on and he knows.
1:22:12
He just feels when to let it go,
and how much.
1:22:17
He's got everything working for him.
Timing, touch.
1:22:22
It's a great feeling.
1:22:25
A real great feeling,
when you're right and you know it.
1:22:29
Suddenly, there's oil in my arm.
The pool cue is part of me.
1:22:34
The pool cue has nerves in it.
It's a piece of wood with nerves.
1:22:39
Feel the roll of those balls.
You don't have to look, you just know.
1:22:45
You make shots
that nobody's ever made before.
1:22:49
And you play that game
the way nobody's ever played it before.
1:22:55
You're not a loser, you're a winner.
1:23:00
Some men never feel that way
about anything.
1:23:04
I love you, Eddie.
1:23:15
Some day, Sarah, you'll settle down.
1:23:20
You'll marry a college professor.
You'll write a great book, maybe about me.
1:23:26
"Fast Eddie Felson, Hustler."
1:23:34
I love you.
1:23:39
Do you need the words?
1:23:41
Yes, I need them very much.
1:23:45
If you ever say them,
I'll never let you take them back.
