:16:02
So I squares up, casual like.
:16:04
What does the hard cunt do?
The so-called hard cunt?
:16:09
Shites it!
:16:10
Puts down his drink and gets
the fuck out of there.
:16:15
And after that...
well, the game was mine.
:16:21
And that was it.
:16:23
That was Begbie's story.
:16:25
Or Begbie's version
of the story.
:16:28
Later, I got the truth
from Tommy.
:16:31
You always got the truth
from Tommy.
:16:34
He never lied,
never took drugs,
:16:37
never cheated on anyone.
:16:38
It was Wednesday morning.
:16:40
We were in the Volley,
playing pool. That's true.
:16:44
But Begbie is playing
absolutely fucking gash.
:16:47
His hangover's so bad,
:16:48
he can hardly hold
the fucking cue!
:16:52
I'm doing my best to lose,
trying to humour him.
:16:56
But every time I touch a ball,
I pot something.
:17:00
Every time Begbie goes near
the table, he fucks it up.
:17:02
Fuck's sake...!
:17:06
So, he's got the hump.
:17:08
But I set him up
to pot the black,
:17:13
win one game, salvage his pride
and not kick me in.
:17:17
So, he's on the black...
:17:20
Pressure shot...
:17:24
which goes wrong, big time.
:17:31
He picks on this wee gadge,
:17:34
accusing him
of putting him off.
:17:37
He hadn't even glanced at us.
:17:39
- Fuck off!
- He'd have chibbed him.
:17:42
Then I thought
he was gonna do me.
:17:48
The beggar's fucking psycho.
:17:51
But he's a mate.
:17:53
- What can you do?
- Can I borrow this?
:17:57
What indeed could one do?
:17:59
Try not to get involved.
