The pool hall is a great equalizer.
:00:44
In the pool hall, nobody cares about
how old or young you are...
:00:48
what color your skin is,
or how much money you got in your pocket.
:00:51
It's about how you move.
:00:53
I remember this kid once...
:00:55
who could move on a pool table
like nobody had ever seen.
:00:58
I mean, hour after hour, rack after rack,
his shots just went in.
:01:02
The cue was part of his arm,
and the balls had eyes.
:01:06
And the thing that made him so good...

:01:28
Then they made their selections.

:01:37
A guy by the name of Toupee Jay.
:01:40
Anyway, after playing Bucktooth...
:01:42
this guy Jay comes up to me...
:01:44
and he says even though
all 50 spots in the tour are filled...
:01:47
after watching me play, they'd have to make
an exception in my case to carry 51.
:01:53
Can you believe that? They want me.
:01:56
He even told Joe
he'd send the invitation himself.
:01:59
Man, when I was out there playing...
