Good evening, ladies and gentlemen...
:25:10
and welcome to the Olhausen Invitational...
:25:13
$100, 000 9-ball shootout.
:25:17
I see a lot of familiar faces here tonight.
:25:19
May your hands be steady,
and your aim be true.

:25:23
Good luck.
:25:26
Look at this.
:25:27
See that guy in the beard?
:25:29
That's Robert Tobin.
Best bank shot in the game.

:25:33
Big guy over there with bushy eyebrows.
:25:35
That's Bruce Kaner, the champ from Russia.
:25:37
But the guy they always chase every year
for the title is that guy.

:25:40
-Bobby LeBlanc.
-The best in the game.

:25:43
Look at him, watch the way he breaks.
:25:45
Shit.
:25:47
Three balls on the break.
Six-ball run, and he's out.

:25:50
Is that what makes him so good?
:25:52
With that break,
he only plays six while others play nine.

:25:55
There's a lot more to his game
than his break.

:25:58
Watch the way he strokes the ball.
:25:59
Smooth, never out of line.
:26:02
When God invented pool players,
He made that guy right there.

:26:06
Hey, Johnny, is that you?
:26:08
St. Louis Louie, how you doing?
It's good to see you.

:26:10
You, too. What're you doing here?
I didn't see your name on the roster.

:26:14
I'm not playing.
:26:15
I'm just showing my brother
a real game of pool.

:26:17
-He's never seen you play before?
-Like I said, a real game.

:26:20
Don't let him fool you. Your brother
can move the rock with the best.

:26:24
I don't know about that.
:26:25
I'm gonna go up and say hello to the boys.
Y'all wanna come with me?

:26:29
Sure. Let's go.
:26:31
What's he mean by "the rock"?
:26:33
That's the cue ball. Come on.
:26:37
All right, fellas. Clear the way.
I'm coming through!

:26:40
Sorry, Louis, there's no food in here.
Buffet's around the corner.

:26:44
What're you laughing at, Shorty?
:26:45
When you go to bed at night, how do you
keep your head from sliding off the pillow?

:26:50
I want you to meet an old friend of mine.
:26:52
This is Johnny Doyle,
his big brother, Danny.

:26:55
Charlie Banks over here, Boston Shorty...
:26:58
and the legendary Jersey Red.
