#1 Bourbon, JTS Brown. #2 I’m buying.
#1 Eddie, is it ok if I get personal? #2 What have you been so far? #1 Eddie, you’re a born loser.
#1 I love you. #2 You need the words? #1 Yes, I need them very much. If you ever say them, I’ll never let you take them back.
#1 I think I’ve heard of you Mr. Feltzen. You play pocket billiards don’t you? #2 Now and then. Why, do you? #1 A little. Although I’m afraid I generally lose.
#1 That’s a pretty big slice. Who do you think you are, General Motors? #2 I’m putting up the money. I’m putting up the time. For that, I get 75% on my money if you win. #1 You think I can lose? #2 I never saw you do anything else. #1 Well, you saw me beat Minnesota Fats for $18,000. #2 Look, you wanna hustle pool don’t you? This game isn’t like football. No one pays you for yardage! When you hustle you keep score real simple. At the end of the game you count up your money. That’s how you find out whose best. That’s the only way!
#1 Well, you don’t leave much when you miss. Do you fat man?
#2 That’s what the game is all about.
(#1) Preach. Go down and get me White tab whiskey, a glass and some ice. (#2) Preach. Get me some bourban, JTS Brown. No ice, no glass. (#1) Preach, get it at Johnnys…….You got yourself a bet.
–How did you know my name is Sarah?

–How do you feel?
–Fast and loose.
–In the gut, I mean.
–Tight, but good.
–It’s quiet.
–Yeah, like a church. The church of a good hustler.
… Yesterday, I didn’t know >anybodyeverybody< and tell them I got a fella… A fella who takes me in the ass… HARD!!
Anything can be great. If a guy knows, if he knows what hes doing and why and if he can make it come off.
eddie, you’re a born loser
Fat man, you shoot a great game of pool.
Get on me Bert, I can’t lose
I got oil in my arm.
I just had to show ’em. Just had to show those creeps and those pukes what the game is like when it’s great, when it’s really great. Like, anything can be great. Anything can be great. I don’t care, brick laying can be great. If I guy knows, if he really knows what he’s doing and can make it come off.
I wanted to stop everyone and tell ’em I got a fella… A fella who takes me in the rear… HARD!
I’ll be alive when I get out, Charlie.
i’m the best you’ve ever seen fats! i’m the best there is. and even if you beat me, i’m still the best.
It’s got nerves in it. It’s a piece of wood, got nerves in it.
Its a great feeling. A real great feeling when your right and you know your right.
Its not enough that you just have talent, you gotta have character too.
keep’em comin’….jts brown!
Lay down and die by yourself. Don’t take me with you.
Stick with this kid, he’s a loser
Sure you got drunk. That’s the best excuse in the world for losing. No trouble losing when you got an excuse. And winning… that can be heavy on your back too, like a monkey. Drop that low too when you got an excuse. All you got to do is learn how to start feeling sorry for yourself. That’s one of the best indoor sports, feeling sorry for yourself. A sport enjoyed by all, especially the born losers.

Sport enjoyed by all, especially the born loser.
Thanks for the drink… Eddie’s girl.
You dont know what winning is Bert, you’re a loser- cause you’re dead inside and you cant live unless you make everything else dead around ya. Too high. The price is too high. If I take it she never lived, she never died. And we both know thats not true Bert, no, she lived and she died.
You know someday Sarah, your going to settle down. You’re going to marry a college professor. You’re going to write a great book. Maybe about me, huh? Fast Eddie Felzten, Hustler.
You owe me money!
You really look beatuiful fats.
You see that big car parked out by the fire plug on your way in? Well, that’s mine. I like that car, but I get a new one every year because I make it my business to know what guys like you and Minnesota Fats are going to do. I made enough money off you the other night to pay for it twice over.
