657
01:09:24,867 --> 01:09:25,367
Deal.

658
01:09:37,338 --> 01:09:40,089
Bourbon. J.T.S. Brown.

659
01:09:40,090 --> 01:09:42,467
Two.

660
01:09:42,468 --> 01:09:45,219
I'm buying.

661
01:09:45,220 --> 01:09:48,056
I thought you only drank milk.

662
01:09:48,057 --> 01:09:49,557
Only when I work.

663
01:09:49,558 --> 01:09:51,559
Yeah? Why?

664
01:09:51,560 --> 01:09:54,062
I like it. It's good for you.

665
01:09:54,063 --> 01:09:57,732
If you're gambling, whiskey
gives you an excuse for losing.

666
01:09:57,733 --> 01:10:00,902
You don't need that.

667
01:10:00,903 --> 01:10:03,071
How did you make out
in the poker game?

668
01:10:03,072 --> 01:10:04,572
I lost $20.

669
01:10:04,573 --> 01:10:06,366
Poker's not your game.

670
01:10:06,367 --> 01:10:07,950
What is?

671
01:10:07,951 --> 01:10:08,451
Pool.

672
01:10:12,081 --> 01:10:15,249
Are you being cute?

673
01:10:15,250 --> 01:10:17,585
No pool player
shoots better pool

674
01:10:17,586 --> 01:10:20,254
than you shot the
other night at Ames.

675
01:10:20,255 --> 01:10:21,506
You have talent.

676
01:10:21,507 --> 01:10:25,093
So I have talent.
So what beat me?

677
01:10:25,094 --> 01:10:27,303
Character.

678
01:10:27,304 --> 01:10:28,721
Yeah, sure.

679
01:10:28,722 --> 01:10:30,848
You're damn right, I'm sure.

680
01:10:30,849 --> 01:10:33,768
Everybody has talent.
I have talent.

681
01:10:33,769 --> 01:10:38,769
You think you can play big-money pool
or poker for 40 hours with only talent?

682
01:10:38,857 --> 01:10:42,610
Is Fats the best in the country
just because he has talent?

683
01:10:42,611 --> 01:10:43,903
No.

684
01:10:43,904 --> 01:10:47,448
He has more character in one
finger than you have in your body.

685
01:10:47,449 --> 01:10:48,866
I got drunk.

686
01:10:48,867 --> 01:10:50,618
He drank as much
whiskey as you did.

687
01:10:50,619 --> 01:10:52,203
He knows how to drink.

688
01:10:52,204 --> 01:10:53,538
You bet he knows how.

689
01:10:53,539 --> 01:10:55,915
You think that's a talent, too?

690
01:10:55,916 --> 01:10:58,126
You think Fats was born
knowing how to drink?

691
01:10:58,127 --> 01:11:03,127
Okay, what do I do now? Lie
down and bow from the ankles?

692
01:11:03,424 --> 01:11:04,924
What do I do, go home?

693
01:11:04,925 --> 01:11:06,217
That's your problem.

694
01:11:06,218 --> 01:11:08,886
Or do I stay?

695
01:11:08,887 --> 01:11:13,474
Stay until I hustle up
enough to play Fats again.

696
01:11:13,475 --> 01:11:16,477
Maybe, by that time, I'll have
developed some character.

697
01:11:16,478 --> 01:11:18,938
[BERT SNIGGERS]

698
01:11:18,939 --> 01:11:23,818
Maybe, by that time,
you'll die of old age.

699
01:11:23,819 --> 01:11:26,821
How much will you need?

700
01:11:26,822 --> 01:11:28,823
$1,000.

701
01:11:28,824 --> 01:11:31,200
$3,000, at least.

702
01:11:31,201 --> 01:11:33,077
He'll start at $500 a game,

703
01:11:33,078 --> 01:11:34,662
and he'll beat
the pants off you.

704
01:11:34,663 --> 01:11:37,957
That's the way he plays against a
man who knows the way the game is.

705
01:11:37,958 --> 01:11:42,958
He'll beat you five times or
more, depending on your nerves.

706
01:11:43,505 --> 01:11:46,966
He might be scared of you.

707
01:11:46,967 --> 01:11:49,552
That could change things,
but don't count on it.

708
01:11:49,553 --> 01:11:54,553
How do you know when
nobody knows that much?

709
01:11:54,975 --> 01:11:58,561
Did you see that big
car parked outside?

710
01:11:58,562 --> 01:12:01,731
Well, that's mine.
I like that car.

711
01:12:01,732 --> 01:12:03,357
I get a new one every year,

712
01:12:03,358 --> 01:12:06,944
because I know what guys
like you and him will do.

713
01:12:06,945 --> 01:12:10,698
I made enough off you the other
night to pay for it twice over.

714
01:12:10,699 --> 01:12:15,286
In that case, you owe
me another drink.

715
01:12:15,287 --> 01:12:17,955
Eddie?

716
01:12:17,956 --> 01:12:19,665
<i>May I get personal?</i>

717
01:12:19,666 --> 01:12:22,043
What have you been so far?

718
01:12:22,044 --> 01:12:26,881
Eddie, you're a born loser.

719
01:12:26,882 --> 01:12:29,342
What's that supposed to mean?

720
01:12:29,343 --> 01:12:34,305
It was the first time I'd ever
seen Fats hooked, really hooked.

721
01:12:34,306 --> 01:12:35,807
But you let him off.

722
01:12:35,808 --> 01:12:37,266
I got drunk.

723
01:12:37,267 --> 01:12:40,436
Sure you did. You have the
best excuse for losing.

724
01:12:40,437 --> 01:12:42,730
No trouble losing when
you have a good excuse.

725
01:12:42,731 --> 01:12:44,690
But winning,

726
01:12:44,691 --> 01:12:47,485
that can be heavy on your
back, too, like a monkey.

727
01:12:47,486 --> 01:12:49,695
You can drop that load
with an excuse.

728
01:12:49,696 --> 01:12:52,073
You have to learn to
feel sorry for yourself.

729
01:12:52,074 --> 01:12:53,783
It's one of the
best indoor sports,

730
01:12:53,784 --> 01:12:56,702
feeling sorry for yourself,
and enjoyed by all.

731
01:12:56,703 --> 01:12:58,246
Especially the born losers.

732
01:12:58,247 --> 01:13:01,415
Thanks for the drink.

733
01:13:01,416 --> 01:13:03,417
Wait. Maybe I can help you.

734
01:13:03,418 --> 01:13:04,836
To do what?

735
01:13:04,837 --> 01:13:07,547
Get the $3,000,
play Fats again.

736
01:13:07,548 --> 01:13:09,048
Why?

737
01:13:09,049 --> 01:13:12,260
Ten reasons, maybe fifteen.

738
01:13:12,261 --> 01:13:13,928
Also there's something
in it for me.

739
01:13:13,929 --> 01:13:15,805
I figured that. How much?

740
01:13:15,806 --> 01:13:16,889
75%.

741
01:13:16,890 --> 01:13:18,182
For who?

742
01:13:18,183 --> 01:13:20,852
For me.

743
01:13:20,853 --> 01:13:25,853
That's a big slice. Who do you
think you are, General Motors?

744
01:13:27,025 --> 01:13:29,569
How much do you think
you are worth these days?

745
01:13:29,570 --> 01:13:31,279
I'm supplying
the money and time,

746
01:13:31,280 --> 01:13:33,906
for that I get 75%
return, if you win.

747
01:13:33,907 --> 01:13:35,074
You think I can lose?

748
01:13:35,075 --> 01:13:36,200
That's all I've seen.

749
01:13:36,201 --> 01:13:38,494
You saw me win $18,000.

750
01:13:38,495 --> 01:13:41,330
You want to hustle
pool, don't you?

751
01:13:41,331 --> 01:13:42,707
The game isn't like football.

752
01:13:42,708 --> 01:13:45,167
Nobody pays you for yardage.

753
01:13:45,168 --> 01:13:47,336
When you hustle, you
keep score real simple.

754
01:13:47,337 --> 01:13:49,005
At the end of the game,
you count your money

755
01:13:49,006 --> 01:13:51,090
to find out who is best.

756
01:13:51,091 --> 01:13:56,091
Why back me, then? Back yourself,
play poker and get rich.

757
01:13:56,305 --> 01:13:59,515
I am already rich,
but I like action.

758
01:13:59,516 --> 01:14:02,226
That's one thing you're
good for, acüon.

759
01:14:02,227 --> 01:14:07,227
Besides, like I say,
you've got talent.

760
01:14:08,609 --> 01:14:11,652
You already told me that.

761
01:14:11,653 --> 01:14:16,032
You cut that slice down to
bite-size, and maybe we can talk.

762
01:14:16,033 --> 01:14:20,912
We don't talk. I don't make bad bets.
It is 75%-25%.

763
01:14:20,913 --> 01:14:22,872
Kiss off.

764
01:14:22,873 --> 01:14:23,373
Wait.

765
01:14:28,211 --> 01:14:30,129
What'Il you do about the money?

766
01:14:30,130 --> 01:14:33,049
There are places.
I'll scuffle around.

767
01:14:33,050 --> 01:14:38,050
The word's out on you, Eddie. In the
wrong place, they'll eat you alive.

768
01:14:40,098 --> 01:14:43,851
When did you adopt me?

769
01:14:43,852 --> 01:14:48,852
I don't know when it was.

770
01:15:30,440 --> 01:15:31,565
Hi.

771
01:15:31,566 --> 01:15:32,066
Hi.

772
01:15:39,992 --> 01:15:44,992
You lucky punk. I quit you!

773
01:15:46,123 --> 01:15:49,041
Do you want in, friend?

774
01:15:49,042 --> 01:15:51,168
How much are you playing for?

775
01:15:51,169 --> 01:15:53,796
$1 on the five. $2 on the nine.

776
01:15:53,797 --> 01:15:57,133
I'll play a couple of
games, just for kicks.

777
01:15:57,134 --> 01:15:59,510
Okay, friend.

778
01:15:59,511 --> 01:16:03,723
That's it for me.

779
01:16:03,724 --> 01:16:06,183
That does it for me, too.

780
01:16:06,184 --> 01:16:07,935
Are you quitting, too?

781
01:16:07,936 --> 01:16:09,687
You're a pretty good player.

782
01:16:09,688 --> 01:16:11,272
How much are you ahead?

783
01:16:11,273 --> 01:16:13,107
A couple of bucks.

784
01:16:13,108 --> 01:16:15,234
It's just you and me.

785
01:16:15,235 --> 01:16:17,695
I guess it is, boy.
Just you and me.

786
01:16:17,696 --> 01:16:19,822
Do you want to raise the bet?

787
01:16:19,823 --> 01:16:23,951
$2 on the five. $5 on the nine.

788
01:16:23,952 --> 01:16:27,413
You know, kid, I think
maybe you're a hustler.

789
01:16:27,414 --> 01:16:29,832
Try me. Shoot.

790
01:16:29,833 --> 01:16:30,333
<i>Okay.</i>

791
01:16:51,897 --> 01:16:55,149
You sure you don't
want to quit, friend?

792
01:16:55,150 --> 01:16:59,737
Let's cut out the small stuff.
$100 freeze-out.

793
01:16:59,738 --> 01:17:02,782
Ten games at $10 a game,
the winner takes all.

794
01:17:02,783 --> 01:17:04,992
Then we'll see who quits.

795
01:17:04,993 --> 01:17:08,287
Okay, friend, you're on.

796
01:17:08,288 --> 01:17:10,039
Call it.

797
01:17:10,040 --> 01:17:12,958
Heads.

798
01:17:12,959 --> 01:17:13,503
You win.

799
01:17:26,348 --> 01:17:29,517
You better not miss, friend.

800
01:17:29,518 --> 01:17:34,518
I don't rattle, kid. But just for
that, I'm going to beat you flat!

801
01:17:41,363 --> 01:17:46,363
That's one.

802
01:17:49,204 --> 01:17:53,290
EDDIE: That's five.

803
01:17:53,291 --> 01:17:58,291
That's six.

804
01:18:00,715 --> 01:18:02,424
That's ten.

805
01:18:02,425 --> 01:18:07,425
You two-bit punk, come on.
Pay up, $100!

806
01:18:10,559 --> 01:18:12,601
You quitting, friend?

807
01:18:12,602 --> 01:18:17,602
Yes, I'm quitting.

808
01:18:31,788 --> 01:18:36,788
Why, you're a pool shark, boy.
A real pool shark.

809
01:18:37,419 --> 01:18:38,919
So is he.

810
01:18:38,920 --> 01:18:43,674
You're better than he was.
Much better.

811
01:18:43,675 --> 01:18:48,675
There's your money, boy.

812
01:18:54,311 --> 01:18:59,311
There's your money, boy.

813
01:19:03,195 --> 01:19:04,695
Pool shark!

814
01:19:04,696 --> 01:19:07,948
Wait a minute.

815
01:19:07,949 --> 01:19:12,536
Let's give this boy his money.

816
01:19:12,537 --> 01:19:17,537
We always pay
what we lose, boy.

I think I've heard
about you, Mr. Felson.

You play pocket
billiards, don't you?

Now and then. Why? Do you?

1152
01:44:40,897 --> 01:44:43,566
A little, but I'm afraid
I generally lose.

1153
01:44:43,567 --> 01:44:47,445
So does Eddie.

I win sometimes.

1155
01:44:49,322 --> 01:44:53,242
I bet you do, Mr. Felson.
I just bet you do.

1158
01:44:58,457 --> 01:45:01,333
I believe Mr. Felson
is making a proposition.

1159
01:45:01,334 --> 01:45:03,002
Could be.

1160
01:45:03,003 --> 01:45:04,670
Well, Mr. Felson,

1161
01:45:04,671 --> 01:45:07,131
maybe you'd like to come
to my place sometime.

1162

That's right. When?

1166

1167
01:45:15,849 --> 01:45:17,683

1168

I'm having some people for
drinks right after the races.

1169

Why don't you all come? Then
about 10:00 we can play.

1170
01:45:25,025 --> 01:45:27,651
We'll be there. Good.

Another way he gets his kicks.

It excites him to be
around the criminal type.

01:57:01,345 --> 01:57:03,805
I want to walk.

1298
01:57:03,806 --> 01:57:05,474
It's a long walk.

1299
01:57:05,475 --> 01:57:07,726
I got time, Bert.

1300
01:57:07,727 --> 01:57:10,562
You want me to
tell her for you?

1301
01:57:10,563 --> 01:57:12,898
Tell her what?

1302
01:57:12,899 --> 01:57:17,899
You got to be hard, Eddie.

1303
01:58:36,566 --> 01:58:37,899
When are you leaving?

1304
01:58:37,900 --> 01:58:42,862
In a little while. It's
what you want, isn't it?

1305
01:58:42,863 --> 01:58:45,782
It's what Eddie wants.

1306
01:58:45,783 --> 01:58:50,783
He told me to
give you some money.

1307
01:58:52,748 --> 01:58:57,748
Put it on the bed. That's the
way it's done, isn't it?

1308
01:58:58,004 --> 01:59:01,172
That's the way it's done.

1309
01:59:01,173 --> 01:59:02,966
The way you're looking at me,

1310
01:59:02,967 --> 01:59:07,345
is that how you look at a
man you've just beaten?

1311
01:59:07,346 --> 01:59:12,346
As if you've just taken his money
and now you want his pride?

1312
01:59:14,228 --> 01:59:15,812
All I want is the money.

1313
01:59:15,813 --> 01:59:17,522
Sure.

1314
01:59:17,523 --> 01:59:19,774
Sure, the money

1315
01:59:19,775 --> 01:59:23,528
and the aristocratic pleasure
of seeing him fall apart.

1316
01:59:23,529 --> 01:59:28,529
You're a Roman, Bert.
You have to win them all.

1317
02:00:11,911 --> 02:00:16,911
You got a drink?

1318
02:01:02,461 --> 02:01:07,461
Give me my key,
please. Room 57.

1319
02:01:08,175 --> 02:01:13,175
Come on, give me my key.

1320
02:01:35,161 --> 02:01:36,995
DETECTIVE: Now, let's
go over this again.

1321
02:01:36,996 --> 02:01:38,830
You say you were
in the other room...

1322
02:01:38,831 --> 02:01:42,417
BERT: She closed the door, I
told you, she closed the door.

1323
02:01:42,418 --> 02:01:47,418
She closed the door, went in there,
maybe ten, five minutes or so.

1324
02:01:49,842 --> 02:01:54,842
Hey, let him come in.

1325
02:01:57,308 --> 02:01:57,852
Eddie...

1326
02:02:27,004 --> 02:02:32,004
BERT: Eddie?

1327
02:02:32,009 --> 02:02:32,509
Eddie?

1328
02:02:39,934 --> 02:02:42,894
She came in here, Eddie.

1329
02:02:42,895 --> 02:02:45,230
She asked me for a drink.

1330
02:02:45,231 --> 02:02:48,274
I gave her one.

1331
02:02:48,275 --> 02:02:52,821
We had a few more.

1332
02:02:52,822 --> 02:02:57,822
Eddie, she came in here!

1333
02:02:59,328 --> 02:02:59,940
[YELLING]

1334
02:04:23,370 --> 02:04:28,370
I came to play pool, Fats.

1335
02:04:31,837 --> 02:04:33,922
That's good. For how much?

1336
02:04:33,923 --> 02:04:36,925
You name it.

1337
02:04:36,926 --> 02:04:38,343
$1,000 a game?

1338
02:04:38,344 --> 02:04:42,931
Let's make it
$3,000 a game, Fats.

1339
02:04:42,932 --> 02:04:47,932
$3,000, that's my bankroll,
my life savings.

1340
02:04:49,146 --> 02:04:50,730
What's the matter, Fats?

1341
02:04:50,731 --> 02:04:55,731
Beat me the first game, and I'm
on my way back to Oakland.

1342
02:04:58,364 --> 02:04:58,976
Let's go.

1343
02:05:07,915 --> 02:05:12,915
Get on me, Bert, I can%lose!

1344
02:05:13,712 --> 02:05:14,212
Willie?

1345
02:05:24,264 --> 02:05:29,264
FATS: Call it. EDDIE: Heads.

1346
02:06:14,773 --> 02:06:17,608
How should I play
that one, Bert?

1347
02:06:17,609 --> 02:06:19,736
Play it safe?

1348
02:06:19,737 --> 02:06:22,113
That's what you always
told me, play it safe,

1349
02:06:22,114 --> 02:06:24,115
play the percentage.

1350
02:06:24,116 --> 02:06:26,451
Well, here we go,
fast and loose.

1351
02:06:26,452 --> 02:06:29,454
One ball, corner pocket.

1352
02:06:29,455 --> 02:06:34,455
Percentage players die broke,
too, don't they, Bert?

1353
02:06:42,593 --> 02:06:45,887
How can I lose?

1354
02:06:45,888 --> 02:06:50,888
Twelve ball.

1355
02:06:51,477 --> 02:06:56,477
I mean, how can I lose?
Because you were right, Bert.

1356
02:06:57,483 --> 02:07:00,318
It's not enough to have talent,

1357
02:07:00,319 --> 02:07:02,320
you've got to
have character, too.

1358
02:07:02,321 --> 02:07:07,321
Four ball.

1359
02:07:12,331 --> 02:07:15,333
And I sure got character now.

1360
02:07:15,334 --> 02:07:20,334
I picked it up in a hotel
room in Louisville.

1361
02:07:21,632 --> 02:07:24,967
Shoot pool, Fast Eddie.

1362
02:07:24,968 --> 02:07:29,968
I'm shooting pool, Fats.
When I miss, you can shoot.

1363
02:07:33,519 --> 02:07:38,519
Five ball.

1364
02:07:40,025 --> 02:07:45,025
Fourteen ball.

1365
02:07:47,116 --> 02:07:52,116
Four ball.

1366
02:07:53,539 --> 02:07:58,539
SCOREKEEPER: That's game.

1367
02:08:07,052 --> 02:08:07,552
Game!

1368
02:08:21,358 --> 02:08:26,358
Eight ball.

1369
02:08:39,251 --> 02:08:44,251
Thirteen ball.

1370
02:08:58,187 --> 02:09:00,855
I quit, Eddie.

1371
02:09:00,856 --> 02:09:04,567
I can't beat you.

1372
02:09:04,568 --> 02:09:09,568
Willie, give him the stake.

1373
02:09:10,407 --> 02:09:12,450
You got yourself a pool player.

1374
02:09:12,451 --> 02:09:17,451
Preacher, give me my coat.

1375
02:09:18,290 --> 02:09:23,290
Where do you think
you're going?

1376
02:09:23,545 --> 02:09:24,045
Eddie?

1377
02:09:27,549 --> 02:09:32,549
You owe me money!

1378
02:09:33,889 --> 02:09:38,889
Just how do you
figure that, Bert?

1379
02:09:40,062 --> 02:09:41,938
What do you figure I owe you?

1380
02:09:41,939 --> 02:09:43,314
Half!

1381
02:09:43,315 --> 02:09:45,483
In Louisville, it was 75%.

1382
02:09:45,484 --> 02:09:50,484
Here, it's half.

1383
02:09:55,160 --> 02:10:00,160
What if I don't pay you?

1384
02:10:00,999 --> 02:10:04,502
You don't pay me?

1385
02:10:04,503 --> 02:10:09,503
You'll get your
thumbs broken again.

1386
02:10:10,008 --> 02:10:14,303
And your fingers.

1387
02:10:14,304 --> 02:10:19,304
If I want them to, they'll break your
right arm in three or four places.

1388
02:10:19,518 --> 02:10:24,518
You better pay him, Eddie.

1389
02:10:36,285 --> 02:10:38,828
You figure you're
still my manager?

1390
02:10:38,829 --> 02:10:41,372
I'm a businessman, kid.

1391
02:10:41,373 --> 02:10:43,332
You've got a lot of
games lined up for me?

1392
02:10:43,333 --> 02:10:45,835
We'll make lots of money
together, from now on.

1393
02:10:45,836 --> 02:10:48,337
50%?

1394
02:10:48,338 --> 02:10:53,338
It don't have to be 50%.
It can be 30%, 25%.

1395
02:10:59,349 --> 02:11:01,684
We really stuck the knife
in her, didn't we?

1396
02:11:01,685 --> 02:11:03,519
[BERT SCOFFS]

1397
02:11:03,520 --> 02:11:05,980
We really gave it to her good.

1398
02:11:05,981 --> 02:11:07,815
If it didn't happen
in Louisville,

1399
02:11:07,816 --> 02:11:09,150
it would happen someplace else.

1400
02:11:09,151 --> 02:11:11,110
If not now,
six months from now.

1401
02:11:11,111 --> 02:11:13,070
That's the kind
of dame she was.

1402
02:11:13,071 --> 02:11:16,824
Then we twisted it,
didn't we, Bert?

1403
02:11:16,825 --> 02:11:18,743
It doesn't stick in your throat

1404
02:11:18,744 --> 02:11:23,744
because you spit it out
like everything else!

1405
02:11:25,000 --> 02:11:29,253
But it sticks in mine.

1406

I loved her.

1407
02:11:33,342 --> 02:11:37,595
I traded her in on a pool game.

That Wouldn't mean
anything to you.

"Just win," you said.
That's the important thing.

1411
02:11:46,730 --> 02:11:50,232
You don't know what winning is.
You're a loser!
