:40:02
Of course you did.
Why should tonight be any different?
:40:05
You can't do anything
without playing an angle, can you?
:40:08
I'm sorry, Uncle Mike.
I shouldn't have brought him here.
:40:11
-That's your Johnny.
-This is Uncle Mike?
:40:14
-You don't understand, sweetheart--
-I understand.
:40:16
You think about one thing.
:40:18
You care about one thing, and it is not me.
:40:20
Please don't go. Get the fuck off me!
:40:24
Are you crazy?
:40:25
Women. You can't even
live with them anymore.
:40:29
So, what about you?
:40:32
I'll give you the keys,
and you can stay overnight at the office.
:40:35
Thanks, Nick.
:40:37
What are you going to do?
:40:39
Gonna give up pool
and try to go back to her?
:40:42
I gotta tell you something.
:40:44
I don't think you can give up the game,
because you love it too much.
:40:48
I don't know. Joe messed me up good.
:40:50
Joe had nothing to do with it,
for Christ's sake!
:40:54
Your trouble is, you played so many bums,
you almost became a bum yourself.
:40:59
And you're not!
:41:01
You're suffering from
a minor-league syndrome, understand?
:41:05
You've gotta pull your ass out of that.
:41:08
Tang and Danny don't belong in this place.
:41:10
They don't belong in the world of pool.
But you do, for Christ's sake!
:41:14
You have one of the most natural talents
in that arm I've ever seen in my life.
:41:18
And what do you do?
:41:19
You walk around pretending,
"I don't deserve it."
:41:23
But you do deserve it,
don't you understand that?
:41:27
That's a waste!
:41:29
It's one of the biggest wastes in the world...
:41:31
because you have the ability to be the best!
:41:37
You come here.
:41:40
You go around...
:41:43
thinking you're a loser...
:41:45
and, boy, you'll become a loser.
:41:49
And pretty soon...
:41:51
the only people you'll be able to beat...
:41:54
are those people who think
they're bigger losers than you are.
