When I was a kid, I figured out right away...
:33:03
most companies pay people enough,
so as they don't quit.

:33:06
People work hard enough,
so as they don't get fired.

:33:09
You know, what's that?
:33:11
Bullshit is what that is.
:33:16
You play pool, Mike?
:33:17
A little. Why do you ask?
:33:21
Because you got a crease on your pants.
:33:25
I'm not sure I wanna be hanging out with
a guy who noticed a crease in my pants.

:33:29
I didn't say "a crease in your pants."
:33:32
I said "a crease on your pants."
It's horizontal, below the pocket.

:33:36
Normally, I might think
that would come from bad dry-cleaning.

:33:40
But a guy like you
doesn't get bad dry-cleaning, do you?

:33:45
Comes from playing pool.
:33:46
When you lean against the table
to take a shot...

:33:50
table makes a slight crease in your pants.
Yours happens to be accentuated...

:33:54
by a little bit of blue chalk,
something only found on a pool table.

:33:57
You're right. I've been playing pool.
:34:00
Losing my ass all night
on that stupid table they got upstairs.

:34:05
You say they got a table upstairs?
:34:10
Come here.
:34:20
That's how we do it.
:34:22
It's no fair playing a guy on his own table.
:34:24
One more setup, Jack.
It's my party. You'll owe me.

:34:27
That's it for me.
:34:28
-Tapped out?
-Phil over here is a ringer.

:34:32
Mike, you back for some more?
:34:34
I'm just getting started.
:34:35
Phil, that's a friend of mine, John Doyle.
:34:39
Phil Stein. It's his house.
:34:40
John, nice to see you. You shoot pool?
:34:44
I play a little.
:34:45
We've been playing a little. Doubles, 8-ball.
:34:48
But everybody here seems to be tapped out.
:34:51
-You and Mike wanna take him on?
-Sure.

:34:54
Why not double the stakes?
:34:56
Are you sure you could afford it?
You're down quite a bit right now.

:34:59
I'd be careful if I were you.
