:07:01
I mean, you got a game
those people never seen.

:07:04
And quite frankly,
I'd like to see it sometime myself tonight.

:07:09
You're gonna go in there,
you're gonna bump up the bet...

:07:13
and you're gonna
close this fucking night out.

:07:16
So stop wasting my fucking time.
:07:20
Just do it.
:07:30
A bottle of Jack.
:07:31
I'll be a three-legged dog
if I'm not looking at the Side Pocket Kid.

:07:35
You don't remember me...
:07:36
but I saw you play once
about 10 or 15 years ago.

:07:41
I used to wear a rug.
:07:43
Toupee Jay.
:07:45
Yeah, that's me.
:07:46
I saw this kid play one of the best games
I've ever seen in my life.

:07:50
Couldn't have been more than
14 or 15 years old...

:07:52
but, man, he could shoot the lights out!
:07:55
Now look at him. He's all grown up.
:07:59
You know, I always wondered
what happened to you.

:08:02
Why you never made it down
to Johnson City.

:08:04
Well, Jay, I've never been
much of a tournament player.

:08:07
-There's no money in them.
-No money?

:08:10
We just held the U.S. Open in Atlanta.
First prize was $100,000.

:08:16
But you gotta be invited to those things,
don't you?

:08:19
We did invite you. A couple of times.
I sent the invitations out myself.

:08:25
I even called and spoke to a backer
you had in those days.

:08:29
But he said you weren't interested.
Something about...

:08:32
your parents wanting you to finish school.
:08:36
What was the name
of that backer you had, anyway?

:08:41
Was it Joe?
:08:46
Bet $20,000!
:08:49
What's the matter? Did I stutter?
:08:52
Everybody got all quiet, and shit?
:08:54
About a minute ago,
it was like an evening at the Apollo.

:08:57
Now, all of a sudden, it's quiet as a church.
