:16:02
Picture the scene.
The other fuckin' week there...
:16:05
doin' the fuckin' Volley
with Tommy playing pool.
:16:08
I'm playin' like
Paul-fuckin'-Newman by the way...
:16:10
givin' the boy here
the tannin' of a lifetime.
:16:14
So it comes to the last shot, the
deciding ball of the whole tournament.
:16:18
I'm in the black, and he's sittin'
in the corner looking all
fucking biscuit-arsed.
:16:20
When this hard cunt comes in.
:16:23
Obviously fucking fancied himself like.
Starts staring at me.
:16:28
Looking at me, right fucking at me,
as if to say, "Come ahead, square go."
:16:32
You know me. I'm not the type of cunt
that goes looking for fucking bother...
:16:36
but at the end of the day,
I'm the cunt with the pool cue...
:16:39
and he can get the fat end in his puss
any time he fucking wanted, like.
:16:42
So I squares up, casual like.
:16:45
What does the hard cunt do?
Or the so-called hard cunt? Shites it.
:16:51
Puts down his drink,
turns and gets the fuck out of there.
:16:55
And after that, well,
the game was mine.
:17:03
And that was it.
That was Begbie's story...
:17:07
or, at least, that was
Begbie's version of the story.
:17:09
But a couple of days later,
I got the truth from Tommy.
:17:12
You always got the truth from Tommy.
That was one of his major weaknesses.
:17:16
He never told lies, he never took drugs,
and he never cheated on anyone.
:17:20
It was Wednesday morning. We were in the
Volley playing pool. That much is true.
:17:26
But Begbie is playing
absolutely fucking gash.
:17:31
He's got a hangover so bad,
he can hardly hold the fucking cue,
never mind pot a ball.
:17:34
I'm doing my best to lose,
you know.
:17:37
Trying to humor him, like,
but it's not doing any good.
:17:40
Every time I touch a ball,
I seemed to pot something.
:17:42
Every time Begbie goes near the table,
he fucks it up.
:17:44
Oh, fuck's sake.
:17:49
So, he's got the hump, right.
:17:52
But, finally,
I managed to set it up...
:17:54
so all he has to do
is to pot the black...
:17:56
to win one game,
to salvage a little bit of pride...
:17:59
and maybe not
kick my head in, right.
