:57:00
Don't play it small.
It don't look good on you.

:57:03
- How do you want me to play? I'm broke.
- So am I.

:57:07
Sit down.
:57:09
Would you get us a couple of drinks?
:57:12
You walked out on me. No goodbye,
no nothing. Like a thief in the dark.

:57:18
We were partners, more than partners.
:57:22
He was like a...
:57:25
- A son.
- Yes, like a son.

:57:29
I've known him since he was 16.
The first time I saw him in Oakland, I said:

:57:34
"This is a talented boy.
This is a smart boy."

:57:39
Talk to me.
:57:42
I want you to come back
on the road with me.

:57:45
I have no stomach
for that kind of life anymore.

:57:49
What is your life like here? Playing the
small rooms, winning a few bucks a day.

:57:53
I'll connect. I'll get your money back.
:57:56
Do you intend to play Fats again at Ames?
Is that what's on your mind?

:58:02
Never been out of it.
I'm going to beat that fat man...

:58:06
...with that curly hair and
those diamond rings and that carnation.

:58:11
This boy is crazy! They wiped the floor
with him and he wants to go back.

:58:16
- What for? Another beating?
- You'll get your money back!

:58:21
He thinks I care about the money.
I care about you.

:58:26
Do you care about me, Eddie?
:58:29
We were together a long time,
night and day.

:58:32
So how do you say goodbye?
:58:35
You give me the car and $100.
:58:39
Do you think I care about the dough
or the car? I care about you.

:58:46
This boy is the greatest pool hustler
you ever saw.

:58:49
A high-class con man.
He can charm anybody into anything.

:58:54
Did he tell you how well we did
on the road? We had everything.

:58:58
We ate well, we slept late...
