434. I lie.
When I'm drunk I lie.Copy !req
435. So what's
your name today?Copy !req
436. It's Sarah.Copy !req
437. Eddie,Copy !req
438. I've got troubles
and I think maybe
you've got troubles.Copy !req
439. Maybe we should
leave each other alone.Copy !req
440. My things are at the hotel.
I'll bring them over later.
Come here.Copy !req
441. I'm not sure.Copy !req
442. I don't know.Copy !req
443. What do you want
to know, and why?Copy !req
444. Thank you.Copy !req
445. Where have you
been all day?Copy !req
446. At school.
It's Thursday.Copy !req
447. Oh, I forgot.Copy !req
448. You were asleep when I left.
I didn't want to wake you.Copy !req
449. Did you go out?Copy !req
450. I went out for
a couple of hours.Copy !req
451. A present.Copy !req
452. You know,
I've been living here
for almost three years.Copy !req
453. Now, in three days,
it seems like
I know everybody.Copy !req
454. When I pass people
on the street,Copy !req
455. I want to stop them
and say, "Listen,
I've got a fellow!"Copy !req
456. Thanks.Copy !req
457. Eddie, where do you go
when you go out?Copy !req
458. Museums,
art galleries,
concerts.Copy !req
459. I believe you
when you say
you go to school.Copy !req
460. Do you want
to go with me?Copy !req
461. Are you kidding?Copy !req
462. See that book?Copy !req
463. I began it when
I first got here,Copy !req
464. I haven't finished
the first chapter.Copy !req
465. Did you read
all those books?Copy !req
466. Uh-huh.Copy !req
467. Got it all
in your head?Copy !req
468. When I'm sober.Copy !req
469. They get
a little mixed up
when I'm drunk.Copy !req
470. Usually
they're mixed up.Copy !req
471. Stop talking about yourself
like you're a lush.
I don't like it.Copy !req
472. You should go to a clinic,
and get some treatment.Copy !req
473. I'm getting treatment
right here.Copy !req
474. I'm hungry.Copy !req
475. Take your choice.Copy !req
476. I got enough
so we won't have to
leave the house till Tuesday.Copy !req
477. What did
all this stuff
cost you?Copy !req
478. When you got money,
you'll pay.Copy !req
479. I want to know,
to keep the score.Copy !req
480. The bills are right here.
You didn't say
what you wanted.Copy !req
481. Don't you ever
cook anything?Copy !req
482. Eggs.
How do you
like them?Copy !req
483. Raw.Copy !req
484. Oh!Copy !req
485. I cut my finger.Copy !req
486. I got something
in my bag.Copy !req
487. It's not bad.Copy !req
488. Eddie,
what's in that case?Copy !req
489. Haven't you opened it?Copy !req
490. No. Why should I?
It's yours.Copy !req
491. It's a machine gun.Copy !req
492. A guy told me, in the big city
I'd need a machine gun.
So I bought one.Copy !req
493. Where did
you get the money
to pay for all this?Copy !req
494. I mean,
liquor and the groceries
and the rent.Copy !req
495. From the rich old man
who used to be my lover.Copy !req
496. Hello, Eddie.Copy !req
497. Hello, Charlie.Copy !req
498. Come on in.Copy !req
499. That's my girl.Copy !req
500. Hello, Eddie's girl.Copy !req
501. I looked
all over for you.Copy !req
502. How did you find me?Copy !req
503. I asked around.Copy !req
504. Do you want me to go?Copy !req
505. No. Stick around.Copy !req
506. Can we get
you a drink?Copy !req
507. I don't want to be
no bother.Copy !req
508. Don't play it small.
It don't look good
on you.Copy !req
509. How do you
want me to play?
I'm broke.Copy !req
510. So am I.Copy !req
511. Sit down.Copy !req
512. Would you get us
a couple of drinks?Copy !req
513. You walked out on me.Copy !req
514. No goodbye, no nothing.
Like a thief in the dark.Copy !req
515. We were partners,
more than partners.Copy !req
516. He was like a . . .Copy !req
517. A son.Copy !req
518. Yes, like a son.Copy !req
519. I've known him
since he was 16.Copy !req
520. The first time I saw him
in Oakland, I said,Copy !req
521. "This is a talented boy.
This is a smart boy."Copy !req
522. Talk to me.Copy !req
523. I want you to come back
on the road with me.Copy !req
524. I have no stomach
for that kind of
life anymore.Copy !req
525. What is your life
like here?Copy !req
526. Playing the small rooms,
winning a few bucks a day.Copy !req
527. I'll connect.
I'll get your money back.Copy !req
528. Do you intend to
play Fats again at Ames?
Is that what's on your mind?Copy !req
529. Never been out of it.
I'm going to beat
that fat manCopy !req
530. with that curly hair
and those diamond rings
and that carnation.Copy !req
531. This boy is crazy!Copy !req
532. They wiped the floor with him
and he wants to go back.Copy !req
533. What for?
Another beating?Copy !req
534. You'll get
your money back!Copy !req
535. He thinks
I care about the money.
I care about you.Copy !req
536. Do you care
about me, Eddie?Copy !req
537. We were together
a long time,
night and day.Copy !req
538. So how do you
say goodbye?Copy !req
539. You give me the car
and $100.Copy !req
540. Do you think
I care about the dough
or the car? I care about you.Copy !req
541. This boy is
the greatest pool hustler
you ever saw.Copy !req
542. A high-class con man.
He can charm anybody
into anything.Copy !req
543. Did he tell you
how well we did
on the road?Copy !req
544. We had everything.Copy !req
545. We ate well,
we slept late,Copy !req
546. we had money to burn.
Whiskey, dames . . .
Excuse me.Copy !req
547. I tell you what,
take her along.Copy !req
548. And if you don't want
to start right away,
we won't start right away.Copy !req
549. We'll drive to Miami.
Get it all out
of your system.Copy !req
550. Have a few laughs,
a few weeks in the sun.Copy !req
551. With what?Copy !req
552. Don't worry,
I'll raise the money.Copy !req
553. Yeah? Where?Copy !req
554. What's the difference?
I'll raise it.Copy !req
555. Could I have
another drink?Copy !req
556. Did you hold out
on me, Charlie?Copy !req
557. How much?Copy !req
558. How much?Copy !req
559. My 25%.
Approximately $1,500.Copy !req
560. You crumb! With that much
I could have beat him!
That's all I needed.Copy !req
561. Give me the money!Copy !req
562. What for,
to play Fats again?Copy !req
563. Yes, I'll play
Fats again!Copy !req
564. If you want to
come back on the road,
the money is yours,Copy !req
565. but not if you want
to give it to Fats.Copy !req
566. What do you say?Copy !req
567. You still don't see,
do you, Charlie?Copy !req
568. You're nothing but
a small-time Charlie.Copy !req
569. You would love to
keep me hustling,
wouldn't you?Copy !req
570. In a couple more years,
with me playing
in those little towns,Copy !req
571. you might be able
to buy a poolroom
in Oakland,Copy !req
572. six tables
and a handbook
on the side.Copy !req
573. Is that when you
say goodbye to me?Copy !req
574. Is that
what you think?Copy !req
575. Yeah.
That's what I think.Copy !req
576. All right,
that's what I want,Copy !req
577. a poolroom
and a little handbook
on the side.Copy !req
578. I'm getting old.Copy !req
579. Lay down and die by yourself.
Don't take me with you.Copy !req
580. Just like that.Copy !req
581. Yes, just like that!Copy !req
582. Thanks for the drink,
Eddie's girl.Copy !req
583. Give me another drink.Copy !req
584. Boy.Copy !req
585. Everybody wants
a piece of me!Copy !req
586. Won't you have one?Copy !req
587. What did he have to
come back here for,
anyway?Copy !req
588. Come here.Copy !req
589. Come here.Copy !req
590. Are you going out?Copy !req
591. For a little while.Copy !req
592. Are you okay?Copy !req
593. What are you writing?Copy !req
594. It's a story.
A story I'm making up.Copy !req
595. Give it to me.Copy !req
596. What is this
supposed to mean?Copy !req
597. Give it back to me!Copy !req
598. What does this mean?Copy !req
599. "We have a contract
of depravity.Copy !req
600. "All we have to do
is draw the blinds."Copy !req
601. Write yourself
another story!Copy !req
602. Well, what else
have we got?Copy !req
603. We never talk
about anything.Copy !req
604. We stay here in this room
and we drink
and we make love.Copy !req
605. We're strangers!Copy !req
606. What happens when
the liquor and money
run out, Eddie?Copy !req
607. You told Charlie
to lay down and die.Copy !req
608. Will you say that
to me, too?Copy !req
609. What happens, Eddie?Copy !req
610. You find another
rich old lover.Copy !req
611. That's right.
And I'm sure
you'll help me!Copy !req
612. Are you waiting
for me to cry?Copy !req
613. You bum!Copy !req
614. You poolroom bum!Copy !req
615. Give me
a bottle of beer.Copy !req
616. Right.Copy !req
617. How did you
make out?Copy !req
618. I made a few bucks.Copy !req
619. Poker game?Copy !req
620. Yeah.Copy !req
621. Is it open?Copy !req
622. It's open.Copy !req
623. What will you have?Copy !req
624. Give me a beer.Copy !req
625. Okay?
Sit down.Copy !req
626. What's the limit?Copy !req
627. Half and a dollar.Copy !req
628. Give me $10
worth of chips.Copy !req
629. $10.Copy !req
630. Make it $20.Copy !req
631. $20.Copy !req
632. Cut.Copy !req
633. Deal.Copy !req
634. Bourbon.
J.T.S. Brown.Copy !req
635. Two.Copy !req
636. I'm buying.Copy !req
637. I thought
you only drank milk.Copy !req
638. Only when I work.Copy !req
639. Yeah? Why?Copy !req
640. I like it.
It's good for you.Copy !req
641. If you're gambling,
whiskey gives you
an excuse for losing.Copy !req
642. You don't need that.Copy !req
643. How did you make out
in the poker game?Copy !req
644. I lost $20.Copy !req
645. Poker's not your game.Copy !req
646. What is?Copy !req
647. Pool.Copy !req
648. Are you being cute?Copy !req
649. No pool player
shoots better poolCopy !req
650. than you shot
the other night
at Ames.Copy !req
651. You have talent.Copy !req
652. So I have talent.
So what beat me?Copy !req
653. Character.Copy !req
654. Yeah, sure.Copy !req
655. You're damn right,
I'm sure.Copy !req
656. Everybody has talent.
I have talent.Copy !req
657. You think you can play
big-money pool or poker
for 40 hours with only talent?Copy !req
658. Is Fats the best
in the country just
because he has talent?Copy !req
659. No.Copy !req
660. He has more character
in one finger than
you have in your body.Copy !req
661. I got drunk.Copy !req
662. He drank
as much whiskey
as you did.Copy !req
663. He knows how to drink.Copy !req
664. You bet he knows how.Copy !req
665. You think that's
a talent, too?Copy !req
666. You think Fats was born
knowing how to drink?Copy !req
667. Okay, what do I do now?
Lie down
and bow from the ankles?Copy !req
668. What do I do,
go home?Copy !req
669. That's your problem.Copy !req
670. Or do I stay?Copy !req
671. Stay until
I hustle up enough
to play Fats again.Copy !req
672. Maybe, by that time,
I'll have developed
some character.Copy !req
673. Maybe, by that time,
you'll die of old age.Copy !req
674. How much
will you need?Copy !req
675. $1,000.Copy !req
676. $3,000, at least.Copy !req
677. He'll start
at $500 a game,Copy !req
678. and he'll beat
the pants off you.Copy !req
679. That's the way he plays
against a man who knows
the way the game is.Copy !req
680. He'll beat you
five times or more,
depending on your nerves.Copy !req
681. He might be
scared of you.Copy !req
682. That could change things,
but don't count on it.Copy !req
683. How do you know
when nobody knows
that much?Copy !req
684. Did you see
that big car
parked outside?Copy !req
685. Well, that's mine.
I like that car.Copy !req
686. I get a new one
every year,Copy !req
687. because I know
what guys like you
and him will do.Copy !req
688. I made enough off you
the other night
to pay for it twice over.Copy !req
689. In that case,
you owe me
another drink.Copy !req
690. Eddie?Copy !req
691. May I get personal?Copy !req
692. What have
you been so far?Copy !req
693. Eddie,
you're a born loser.Copy !req
694. What's that
supposed to mean?Copy !req
695. It was the first time
I'd ever seen Fats hooked,
really hooked.Copy !req
696. But you let him off.Copy !req
697. I got drunk.Copy !req
698. Sure you did.
You have the best
excuse for losing.Copy !req
699. No trouble losing
when you have
a good excuse.Copy !req
700. But winning,Copy !req
701. that can be heavy
on your back, too,
like a monkey.Copy !req
702. You can drop that load
with an excuse.Copy !req
703. You have to learn to
feel sorry for yourself.Copy !req
704. It's one of the
best indoor sports,Copy !req
705. feeling sorry
for yourself,
and enjoyed by all.Copy !req
706. Especially
the born losers.Copy !req
707. Thanks for the drink.Copy !req
708. Wait.
Maybe I can help you.Copy !req
709. To do what?Copy !req
710. Get the $3,000,
play Fats again.Copy !req
711. Why?Copy !req
712. Ten reasons,
maybe fifteen.Copy !req
713. Also there's something
in it for me.Copy !req
714. I figured that.
How much?Copy !req
715. 75%.Copy !req
716. For who?Copy !req
717. For me.Copy !req
718. That's a big slice.
Who do you think you are,
General Motors?Copy !req
719. How much do you think
you are worth these days?Copy !req
720. I'm supplying
the money and time,Copy !req
721. for that
I get 75% return,
if you win.Copy !req
722. You think I can lose?Copy !req
723. That's all I've seen.Copy !req
724. You saw me win $18,000.Copy !req
725. You want to
hustle pool,
don't you?Copy !req
726. The game
isn't like football.Copy !req
727. Nobody pays you
for yardage.Copy !req
728. When you hustle,
you keep score
real simple.Copy !req
729. At the end of the game,
you count your moneyCopy !req
730. to find out
who is best.Copy !req
731. Why back me, then?
Back yourself,
play poker and get rich.Copy !req
732. I am already rich,
but I like action.Copy !req
733. That's one thing
you're good for,
action.Copy !req
734. Besides, like I say,
you've got talent.Copy !req
735. You already
told me that.Copy !req
736. You cut that slice
down to bite-size,
and maybe we can talk.Copy !req
737. We don't talk.
I don't make bad bets.
It is 75%-25%.Copy !req
738. Kiss off.Copy !req
739. Wait.Copy !req
740. What'll you do
about the money?Copy !req
741. There are places.
I'll scuffle around.Copy !req
742. The word's out on you, Eddie.
In the wrong place,
they'll eat you alive.Copy !req
743. When did you
adopt me?Copy !req
744. I don't know
when it was.Copy !req
745. Hi.Copy !req
746. Hi.Copy !req
747. You lucky punk.
I quit you!Copy !req
748. Do you want in,
friend?Copy !req
749. How much are you
playing for?Copy !req
750. $1 on the five.
$2 on the nine.Copy !req
751. I'll play
a couple of games,
just for kicks.Copy !req
752. Okay, friend.Copy !req
753. That's it for me.Copy !req
754. That does it
for me, too.Copy !req
755. Are you quitting, too?Copy !req
756. You're a pretty
good player.Copy !req
757. How much
are you ahead?Copy !req
758. A couple of bucks.Copy !req
759. It's just you and me.Copy !req
760. I guess it is, boy.
Just you and me.Copy !req
761. Do you want to
raise the bet?Copy !req
762. $2 on the five.
$5 on the nine.Copy !req
763. You know, kid,
I think maybe
you're a hustler.Copy !req
764. Try me.
Shoot.Copy !req
765. Okay.Copy !req
766. You sure you don't
want to quit, friend?Copy !req
767. Let's cut out
the small stuff.
$100 freeze-out.Copy !req
768. Ten games at $10 a game,
the winner takes all.Copy !req
769. Then we'll see
who quits.Copy !req
770. Okay, friend,
you're on.Copy !req
771. Call it.Copy !req
772. Heads.Copy !req
773. You win.Copy !req
774. You better
not miss, friend.Copy !req
775. I don't rattle, kid.
But just for that,
I'm going to beat you flat!Copy !req
776. That's one.Copy !req
777. That's five.Copy !req
778. That's six.Copy !req
779. That's ten.Copy !req
780. You two-bit punk,
come on.
Pay up, $100!Copy !req
781. You quitting, friend?Copy !req
782. Yes, I'm quitting.Copy !req
783. Why, you're
a pool shark, boy.
A real pool shark.Copy !req
784. So is he.Copy !req
785. You're better
than he was.
Much better.Copy !req
786. There's your money, boy.Copy !req
787. There's your money, boy.Copy !req
788. Pool shark!Copy !req
789. Wait a minute.Copy !req
790. Let's give this boy
his money.Copy !req
791. We always pay
what we lose, boy.Copy !req
792. We've got no use
for pool sharks
around here!Copy !req
793. Who is it?Copy !req
794. It's me, Eddie.Copy !req
795. What happened?Copy !req
796. I got beat up.Copy !req
797. They broke my thumbs.Copy !req
798. God!Copy !req
799. Sarah,
they broke my thumbs.Copy !req
800. Broke my thumbs.Copy !req
801. It's all right.Copy !req
802. I'm here.Copy !req
803. You can read it
if you want to.Copy !req
804. Do you want to
go out for a while?
To a movie?Copy !req
805. No.Copy !req
806. Do you want a drink?Copy !req
807. No, do you?Copy !req
808. What's it so hot
in here for?Copy !req
809. Please!Copy !req
810. Sarah, do you think
I'm a loser?Copy !req
811. A loser?Copy !req
812. Yeah.Copy !req
813. I met this guy, Bert Gordon.
He said I was a born loser.Copy !req
814. Would he know?Copy !req
815. He knows a lot.Copy !req
816. Why did he tell you?Copy !req
817. I'm not sure.Copy !req
818. He said there are people
who always look
for an excuse to lose.Copy !req
819. What does this
Bert Gordon do?Copy !req
820. He's a gambler.Copy !req
821. Is he a winner?Copy !req
822. He owns things.Copy !req
823. Is that what
makes a winner?Copy !req
824. What else does?Copy !req
825. Does it bother you,
what he said?Copy !req
826. Yeah.Copy !req
827. It bothers me a lot.Copy !req
828. Because, you see, twice,
once at Ames with FatsCopy !req
829. and then again
at Arthur's . . .Copy !req
830. That cheap, crummy poolroom.
Why did I do it, Sarah?Copy !req
831. I could have
beat that guy cold.
He never would've known.Copy !req
832. I just had to
show him.Copy !req
833. I had to show those punks
how great the game can be
when it's great.Copy !req
834. You know,
anything can be great,
anything.Copy !req
835. Bricklaying can be great
if a guy knows.Copy !req
836. If he knows what
he's doing and why,Copy !req
837. and if he can
make it come off.Copy !req
838. Why,
when I'm really going,
I feel like a . . .Copy !req
839. Like a jockey must feel
sitting on his horseCopy !req
840. with all that speed
and power underneath.Copy !req
841. He's coming into the stretch,
the pressure's on
and he knows.Copy !req
842. He just feels
when to let it go,
and how much.Copy !req
843. He's got everything
working for him.
Timing, touch.Copy !req
844. It's a great feeling.Copy !req
845. A real great feeling,
when you're right
and you know it.Copy !req
846. Suddenly,
there's oil in my arm.
The pool cue is part of me.Copy !req
847. The pool cue
has nerves in it.Copy !req
848. It's a piece of wood
with nerves.Copy !req
849. Feel the roll of those balls.
You don't have to look,
you just know.Copy !req
850. You make shots
that nobody's
ever made before.Copy !req
851. And you play that game
the way nobody's
ever played it before.Copy !req
852. You're not a loser,
you're a winner.Copy !req
853. Some men
never feel that way
about anything.Copy !req
854. I love you, Eddie.Copy !req
855. Some day, Sarah,
you'll settle down.Copy !req
856. You'll marry
a college professor.Copy !req
857. Write a great book,
maybe about me.Copy !req
858. Fast Eddie Felson,
Hustler.Copy !req
859. I love you.Copy !req
860. Do you need
the words?Copy !req
861. Yes, I need them
very much.Copy !req
862. If you ever say them,
I'll never let you
take them back.Copy !req
863. You glad?Copy !req
864. Yes, I'm glad.Copy !req
865. Hello, Eddie.Copy !req
866. Hi.Copy !req
867. How's business?Copy !req
868. Slow.Copy !req
869. Something wrong
with your hand?Copy !req
870. I had an accident.
A place called Arthur's.Copy !req
871. You seem to do
all right that way.Copy !req
872. My game
is about 20% off,
maybe more.Copy !req
873. Did somebody
step on your hand?Copy !req
874. A big creep
broke my thumbs.Copy !req
875. A man named Turk?Copy !req
876. You know everybody,
don't you?Copy !req
877. Everybody who can
hurt me or help me.
It pays.Copy !req
878. You should
give me lessons.Copy !req
879. Sign up.Copy !req
880. Where do I sign?Copy !req
881. The first match
I have in mind is
in Louisville, Kentucky.Copy !req
882. Name the place, boss,
I'll be there.Copy !req
883. What happened?Copy !req
884. Like I told you,
my thumbs.Copy !req
885. I don't mean the thumbs.
You already told me.Copy !req
886. I've been thinking.
Thinking about what?Copy !req
887. Maybe I'm not
such a great piece
of property right now.Copy !req
888. A 25% slice of something big
is better than
a 100% slice of nothing.Copy !req
889. Give us
a couple of drinks.Copy !req
890. J.T.S. Brown.Copy !req
891. Good evening, sir.Copy !req
892. Evening.Copy !req
893. Give us
a nice quiet table.Copy !req
894. Yes, sir,
right this way.Copy !req
895. Would you like a drink
before dinner?Copy !req
896. Okay?Copy !req
897. Sherry, very old,
very dry.Copy !req
898. Two.Copy !req
899. Sherry?Copy !req
900. It's a nice joint.
You look very pretty.Copy !req
901. I feel pretty.Copy !req
902. What's so funny?Copy !req
903. Your tie.Copy !req
904. I've never seen you
wear one before.Copy !req
905. There's a first time
for everything.Copy !req
906. Yeah, that's great.Copy !req
907. Excuse me.Copy !req
908. To you, Eddie.Copy !req
909. Thank you, sir.Copy !req
910. What is it, Eddie?Copy !req
911. Want another drink?Copy !req
912. What do you
want to tell me?Copy !req
913. I'll be leaving town
for a little while.Copy !req
914. For how long?Copy !req
915. I don't know.Copy !req
916. A week, a year?Copy !req
917. More like a week.
I'll be back.Copy !req
918. Sure.Copy !req
919. Let's go home.Copy !req
920. Taxi!Copy !req
921. No, I'll walk.Copy !req
922. Come here.Copy !req
923. Better get some
dry things on.Copy !req
924. Don't you want to know
where I'm going?Copy !req
925. No.Copy !req
926. Yes, I want
to know what for,Copy !req
927. but I don't
want to ask.Copy !req
928. I'm going to Kentucky,
to Louisville
with a friend.Copy !req
929. I'm going to try
to make some money.
I need it.Copy !req
930. I'll leave early
in the morning.Copy !req
931. Leave now.Copy !req
932. Grow up.Copy !req
933. Why should I?Copy !req
934. I'm going there to play pool
with a guy named Findley.Copy !req
935. I need the action
and I need the money.Copy !req
936. I told you I'd be back.Copy !req
937. If you were returning,Copy !req
938. you wouldn't
have taken me out
or bought this dress.Copy !req
939. You're hustling me.
You've never stopped
hustling me.Copy !req
940. No, I've never hustled you,
even when I thought I was,
you know it.Copy !req
941. Do you want me
to sit and wait?Copy !req
942. Faithful little Sarah.
Pull the shades down
and sit.Copy !req
943. When you feel
like coming back,
you'll come back and love me.Copy !req
944. And then you'll
go away again.Copy !req
945. Is that your
idea of love?Copy !req
946. I've got
no idea of love.Copy !req
947. Neither one of us
would know what it wasCopy !req
948. if we saw it
coming down
the street.Copy !req
949. I'd know it.Copy !req
950. I'd know it.Copy !req
951. For God's sake,
what are you
doing to me?Copy !req
952. I love you.Copy !req
953. What's your idea
of love, chains?Copy !req
954. No.Copy !req
955. I made you up,
didn't I, Eddie?Copy !req
956. You weren't real.Copy !req
957. I made you up
like everything else.Copy !req
958. There was
no car crash,
Eddie.Copy !req
959. When I was five
I had polio.Copy !req
960. I was never an actress.Copy !req
961. The rich old man
is my father.Copy !req
962. He walked out on us
when I was seven.Copy !req
963. He sends a check
every monthCopy !req
964. to buy his way out
of my life.Copy !req
965. The men I've known,Copy !req
966. after they'd left, I'd say,
"They weren't real,
I made them up."Copy !req
967. But you, Eddie,
I wanted you
to be real.Copy !req
968. I'm so scared!Copy !req
969. I'm scared.Copy !req
970. Sarah Packard,
Bert Gordon.Copy !req
971. How do you do?Copy !req
972. That one of mine
goes in Drawing Room A.Copy !req
973. Thank you.Copy !req
974. I got it.Copy !req
975. You sure you'll be
comfortable, Miss . . .Copy !req
976. Packard.
Sarah Packard.Copy !req
977. It takes me a while
to memorize a name.Copy !req
978. Are you sure
you don't want
anything?Copy !req
979. No, I'm fine.Copy !req
980. You ever been to Louisville
for Derby week, Miss Packard?Copy !req
981. I've never been
to Louisville.Copy !req
982. Lots of action,
lots of money,
class.Copy !req
983. You see the best dressed,
most beautiful women
in the world.Copy !req
984. Knock your eyes out.Copy !req
985. Findley is rich.Copy !req
986. His grandfather left him
20% of a tobacco company.Copy !req
987. What,
and he hustles pool?Copy !req
988. He's a gentleman,
a gentleman gamblerCopy !req
989. who gets his kicks
playing with hustlers.Copy !req
990. He's got an old
Southern mansion,
with a pool table.Copy !req
991. He drinks
eight-year-old bourbon,
smokes cork-tipped cigarettes.Copy !req
992. How good is he?Copy !req
993. I don't know.Copy !req
994. I never saw him play.
I hear he's great.
I'm ready.Copy !req
995. As soon as
I've finished my coffee.Copy !req
996. You have
great confidence in me.Copy !req
997. I don't.Copy !req
998. I've confidence
in Findley.Copy !req
999. What's that
supposed to mean?Copy !req
1000. It means
I'm confident he's a loser.
All the way a loser.Copy !req
1001. You are only about
one half loser,
the other half winner.Copy !req
1002. I'm finished.
I got it.Copy !req
1003. No. When you play for me,
I pick up all the tabs.Copy !req
1004. Fats knew the game
was in the clutch,Copy !req
1005. so he had to do
something to stop you.Copy !req
1006. He played it smart.Copy !req
1007. I've played that game
in my head, too.Copy !req
1008. Play it again.
Learn something.Copy !req
1009. Fats went to
the john.Copy !req
1010. He washed his face,
cleaned his fingernails,
made his mind a blank,Copy !req
1011. combed his hair,
and came back
all ready to go.Copy !req
1012. You were through.Copy !req
1013. You saw how he looked,
clean, ready to start
all over again.Copy !req
1014. Hold tight
and push hard.Copy !req
1015. Do you know
what you were doing?Copy !req
1016. You were waiting
to get beat.Copy !req
1017. You were flattened out
on your butt,Copy !req
1018. swimming in glory
and whiskey,Copy !req
1019. probably deciding
how you could lose.Copy !req
1020. What makes you
know so much?Copy !req
1021. How do you know
what he was thinking?Copy !req
1022. I know.Copy !req
1023. Been there myself.Copy !req
1024. We've all been there,
haven't we, Miss Packard?Copy !req
1025. Got a match?Copy !req
1026. Doesn't your
lighter work,
Mr. Gordon?Copy !req
1027. I forgot all about it.Copy !req
1028. How is your hand?Copy !req
1029. Fine.Copy !req
1030. Good. I'd hate
to put my money
on a cripple.Copy !req
1031. Why did you say
a thing like that?Copy !req
1032. I'm sure Mr. Gordon
meant no offense.Copy !req
1033. It was
a figure of speech.Copy !req
1034. That's right,
Miss Packard.Copy !req
1035. A fact is a fact.Copy !req
1036. She's a smart girl,
Eddie.Copy !req
1037. Right this way,
Mr. Gordon.Copy !req
1038. Here you are,
Mr. Gordon,
Suite 56.Copy !req
1039. I wired ahead for
two suites adjoining.Copy !req
1040. I don't recall.Copy !req
1041. I do!
I want two suites.Copy !req
1042. I'm sorry,
we're filled up,
this is Derby week.Copy !req
1043. You're wrong,
you must've
gotten my wire.Copy !req
1044. Look through
your reservations.Copy !req
1045. I'll see
what I can do.Copy !req
1046. Yes, you're right,
Mr. Gordon.
I mislaid your wire.Copy !req
1047. Two adjoining suites?Copy !req
1048. That's sweet music
in there.Copy !req
1049. You can almost
smell the action
and the money.Copy !req
1050. I can feel it right down
in the bottom of my shoes.Copy !req
1051. Eddie!Copy !req
1052. Billy, how are you?Copy !req
1053. I didn't know
you were here.Copy !req
1054. Everyone's here.
It's like a
hustlers' convention!Copy !req
1055. West Stone Kid, Johnny Jumbo.
Come in, the guys
will be glad to see you.Copy !req
1056. Come on.Copy !req
1057. What room are we in?Copy !req
1058. 57.Copy !req
1059. I'll be up later.Copy !req
1060. Wait,
Miss Packard.Copy !req
1061. We're neighbors, now.
Call me Sarah.Copy !req
1062. I want to talk to you.Copy !req
1063. Do we need words?Copy !req
1064. I think so.Copy !req
1065. We could cut each other up,
but that'd be bad
for everybody,Copy !req
1066. for me, for you,
and worst of all
for Eddie.Copy !req
1067. You know what's good
for him.Copy !req
1068. To win.Copy !req
1069. For whom and for what?Copy !req
1070. What makes
the world go around?
For money and for glory.Copy !req
1071. Answer my first question.
For whom?Copy !req
1072. Today for me,
tomorrow for himself.Copy !req
1073. There is no tomorrow
with you.Copy !req
1074. You own all the tomorrows,
because you buy them today,
cheap.Copy !req
1075. Nobody has to sell.Copy !req
1076. You bastard . . .Copy !req
1077. Miss Ladybird!Copy !req
1078. You're here on a rain check,
and I know it.
Hanging on by your nails.Copy !req
1079. You let that
glory whistle blow
for EddieCopy !req
1080. and you're a wreck
on the track,
a horse that finished last.Copy !req
1081. Don't make trouble,
Miss Ladybird.
Live and let live!Copy !req
1082. While you can.Copy !req
1083. I'll make it
up to you.Copy !req
1084. How?Copy !req
1085. You tell me.Copy !req
1086. Thanks.Copy !req
1087. There are three
late scratchesCopy !req
1088. in the following race:Copy !req
1089. Rosemary,
Stroke of Lиck,
and I & R.Copy !req
1090. Where's Bert?Copy !req
1091. He went off somewhere.Copy !req
1092. That old loving horse
paid $22.40!Copy !req
1093. I won $200
from that jockey
last night,Copy !req
1094. and today
at the track
I've $540.Copy !req
1095. Here, you hold it.
Why?Copy !req
1096. Just for luck.Copy !req
1097. Findley's here.
Where?Copy !req
1098. Over there by the bar.Copy !req
1099. Aren't you going
to talk to him?Copy !req
1100. Sit tight.
He'll be over here.Copy !req
1101. You ready for another?Copy !req
1102. Thank you.Copy !req
1103. No more for me.Copy !req
1104. Hello.
I haven't seen you
in a long time.Copy !req
1105. I haven't been here
for a long time.Copy !req
1106. Miss Packard,
Eddie Felson.
James . . .Copy !req
1107. Findley.Copy !req
1108. Glad to meet you.Copy !req
1109. And I, you.Copy !req
1110. I think I've heard
about you, Mr. Felson.Copy !req
1111. You play
pocket billiards,
don't you?Copy !req
1112. Now and then.
Why? Do you?Copy !req
1113. A little,
but I'm afraid
I generally lose.Copy !req
1114. So does Eddie.Copy !req
1115. I win sometimes.Copy !req
1116. I bet you do, Mr. Felson.
I just bet you do.Copy !req
1117. How much?Copy !req
1118. Bert?Copy !req
1119. I believe Mr. Felson
is making a proposition.Copy !req
1120. Could be.Copy !req
1121. Well, Mr. Felson,Copy !req
1122. maybe you'd like to come
to my place sometime.Copy !req
1123. We can play billiards.Copy !req
1124. When?Copy !req
1125. You're very direct.Copy !req
1126. That's right. When?Copy !req
1127. Tonight?Copy !req
1128. What time?Copy !req
1129. I'm having
some people for drinks
right after the races.Copy !req
1130. Why don't you all come?
Then about 10:00
we can play.Copy !req
1131. We'll be there.
Good.Copy !req
1132. Good.Copy !req
1133. If you don't mind,
I think I will stay
at the hotel.Copy !req
1134. What's the matter?Copy !req
1135. I'm tired.Copy !req
1136. Come on,
it'll be a lot of laughs.
Findley's parties are famous.Copy !req
1137. He invites everybody
from high society
to every tramp in town.Copy !req
1138. Another way
he gets his kicks.Copy !req
1139. It excites him to be
around the criminal type.
Some men are like that.Copy !req
1140. Some women, too.Copy !req
1141. What's the matter?Copy !req
1142. It's all right.
She drank too much.Copy !req
1143. Let her sleep it off.Copy !req
1144. Cut it out!Copy !req
1145. Do what he says,
come on, upstairs.Copy !req
1146. Do you gentlemen
care for a drink?Copy !req
1147. None for me.
Let's play.Copy !req
1148. By all means.Copy !req
1149. Thought we came here
to play pool?Copy !req
1150. I don't play pool,
I play billiards.Copy !req
1151. It's my house, my game.
You don't have to play
if you don't want to.Copy !req
1152. We won't.Copy !req
1153. Bert, let me play him.Copy !req
1154. How much?Copy !req
1155. We'll start small.
$100 a game?Copy !req
1156. Did you ever play
billiards before?Copy !req
1157. Sure.Copy !req
1158. You hustling me?Copy !req
1159. I'm sure he knows
what he's doing.Copy !req
1160. You can afford $100
to find out.Copy !req
1161. Deal the cards.Copy !req
1162. Beautiful shot!Copy !req
1163. You've played billiards
before, Mr. Felson.Copy !req
1164. Sure you wouldn't
care for a drink?Copy !req
1165. Nothing for me.Copy !req
1166. How do we stand?Copy !req
1167. About even.Copy !req
1168. When do I
raise the bet?Copy !req
1169. I don't know.Copy !req
1170. If that's his best game,
I can beat him.Copy !req
1171. Level with me.
Did you ever
play billiards?Copy !req
1172. What's the difference?Copy !req
1173. There's a cue,
balls on the table.Copy !req
1174. All you got to do is
get the feel of it.Copy !req
1175. Shall we raise
the stakes?Copy !req
1176. How much?Copy !req
1177. $500?Copy !req
1178. You think
you can beat him?Copy !req
1179. Of course he does.
He wouldn't play me
if he didn't.Copy !req
1180. I didn't ask him,
can he beat you,
I already know he can.Copy !req
1181. I asked him, will he?
That's two different things.Copy !req
1182. I can beat him.Copy !req
1183. All right, $500.Copy !req
1184. Have you noticed, Bert,Copy !req
1185. this fellow here
bears a striking
resemblance to you?Copy !req
1186. It seems
you might have modeled
for the artist.Copy !req
1187. It's possible.Copy !req
1188. Mark that one up,
too, Bert.Copy !req
1189. I'll beat him
the next game.Copy !req
1190. How are the hands?Copy !req
1191. Fine.Copy !req
1192. Rack up your cue,
we're leaving.Copy !req
1193. That's a shame.
The night is young.Copy !req
1194. The night
is $2,000 old.Copy !req
1195. Hey, Bert, wait.Copy !req
1196. I said we're leaving.Copy !req
1197. I can beat him, Bert.Copy !req
1198. He suckered me,
I didn't think
he knew how to hustle.Copy !req
1199. I can outplay
and beat him!Copy !req
1200. I don't believe you, Eddie.
I think you're still a loser.Copy !req
1201. I'll play him
on my own money!Copy !req
1202. Be right back.Copy !req
1203. Okay, come on,
let's play.Copy !req
1204. I'm broke.Copy !req
1205. That's unfortunate,
Mr. Felson.Copy !req
1206. For whom,
Mr. Findley?Copy !req
1207. Bert, he only beat me
by a point.Copy !req
1208. The bank is closed.Copy !req
1209. Don't get off me,
please!Copy !req
1210. I know when to quit.
You don't. Win or lose,
you don't know!Copy !req
1211. What do you
want me to do?
Say itCopy !req
1212. and you've got it,
but don't get off me now.Copy !req
1213. Don't beg him.Copy !req
1214. Go back to the hotel.Copy !req
1215. Please, Eddie,
don't beg him.Copy !req
1216. Go back to the hotel.
Take a cab, go back!Copy !req
1217. Doesn't all this
come through to you?Copy !req
1218. Doesn't it mean
anything to you?Copy !req
1219. That man, this place,
the people.Copy !req
1220. They wear masks,Copy !req
1221. and under them
they're perverted,
twisted, crippled!Copy !req
1222. Shut up.Copy !req
1223. Don't wear a mask.
You don't have to.Copy !req
1224. That's Turk,
who broke your thumbs!Copy !req
1225. He won't break your thumbs,
he'll break your heart,
your guts,Copy !req
1226. and for the same reason,
because he hates you
for what you are.Copy !req
1227. For what you have
and he hasn't.Copy !req
1228. Get off my back,
once and for all!Copy !req
1229. Would you
get off my back?Copy !req
1230. Play him, Eddie.Copy !req
1231. Play him for
$1,000 a game.Copy !req
1232. Will you take
a check?Copy !req
1233. Cash.Copy !req

1260. Put it on the bed.
That's the way
it's done, isn't it?Copy !req
1261. That's the way
it's done.Copy !req
1262. The way you're
looking at me,Copy !req
1263. is that how
you look at a man
you've just beaten?Copy !req
1264. As if
you've just taken his money
and now you want his pride?Copy !req
1265. All I want
is the money.Copy !req
1266. Sure.Copy !req
1267. Sure, the moneyCopy !req

have character, too.Copy !req

you're going?Copy !req
1328. Eddie?Copy !req
1329. You owe me money!Copy !req
1330. Just how do you
figure that, Bert?Copy !req
1331. What do you figure
I owe you?Copy !req
1332. Half!Copy !req
1333. In Louisville,
it was 75%.Copy !req
1334. Here, it's half.Copy !req
1335. What if I don't pay you?Copy !req
1336. You don't pay me?Copy !req
1337. You'll get your
thumbs broken again.Copy !req
1338. And your fingers.Copy !req
1339. If I want them to,
they'll break your right arm
in three or four places.Copy !req
1340. You better pay him, Eddie.Copy !req
1341. You figure you're
still my manager?Copy !req
1342. I'm a businessman, kid.Copy !req
1343. You've got
a lot of games
lined up for me?Copy !req
1344. We'll make lots
of money together,
from now on.Copy !req
1345. 50%?Copy !req
1346. It don't have to be 50%.
It can be 30%, 25%.Copy !req
1347. We really stuck
the knife in her,
didn't we?Copy !req
1348. We really gave it
to her good.Copy !req
1349. If it didn't happen
in Louisville,Copy !req
1350. it would happen
someplace else.Copy !req
1351. If not now,
six months from now.Copy !req
1352. That's the kind
of dame she was.Copy !req
1353. Then we twisted it,
didn't we, Bert?Copy !req
1354. It doesn't stick
in your throatCopy !req
1355. because you spit it out
like everything else!Copy !req
1356. But it sticks in mine.Copy !req
1357. I loved her.Copy !req
1358. I traded her in
on a pool game.Copy !req
1359. That wouldn't mean
anything to you.Copy !req
1360. Who did you
ever care about?Copy !req
1361. "Just win," you said.
That's the important thing.Copy !req
1362. You don't know
what winning is.
You're a loser!Copy !req
1363. Because you're dead inside,
and you can't liveCopy !req
1364. unless you make
everything else
dead around you.Copy !req
1365. Too high, Bert.Copy !req
1366. Your price
is too high.Copy !req
1367. If I take it,
she never lived.
She never died.Copy !req
1368. We both know that's
not true, don't we?
She lived. She died.Copy !req
1369. You better . . .Copy !req
1370. You tell your boys
they better kill me.Copy !req
1371. They better go
all the way with meCopy !req
1372. because if they
just bust me up,Copy !req
1373. I'll put
the pieces togetherCopy !req
1374. and so help me God,
Bert,Copy !req
1375. I'll come back
and I'll kill you.Copy !req
1376. Wait a minute.Copy !req
1377. All right.Copy !req
1378. Only,Copy !req
