1
00:00:09,759 --> 00:00:12,262
You're traveling
through another dimension-
2
00:00:12,297 --> 00:00:15,398
a dimension not only of sight
and sound, but of mind,
3
00:00:15,433 --> 00:00:17,267
a journey into a wondrous land
4
00:00:17,302 --> 00:00:19,152
whose boundaries
are that of imagination.
5
00:00:19,187 --> 00:00:22,272
Your next stop,
the twilight zone.

7
00:00:34,784 --> 00:00:37,921
Yes!
8
00:00:37,956 --> 00:00:39,289
You see what i mean?
9
00:00:39,324 --> 00:00:41,174
Did you see that?
10
00:00:41,209 --> 00:00:44,928
The right english, the right
draw, perfect position, right?
11
00:00:44,963 --> 00:00:46,796
What do i get?
12
00:00:46,831 --> 00:00:49,933
Fats brown, that's what i get,
fats brown.
13
00:00:49,968 --> 00:00:52,435
Well, i'm sick of it.
14
00:00:52,470 --> 00:00:54,554
I'm sick of hearing his name!
15
00:00:54,589 --> 00:00:57,057
I'm the best pool cue
on randolph street.
16
00:00:57,092 --> 00:00:59,559
Me, jesse cardiff,
and you know that!
17
00:00:59,594 --> 00:01:01,444
All right, all right...
18
00:01:01,479 --> 00:01:02,695
fats was good.
19
00:01:02,730 --> 00:01:04,564
I mean, hewasgood, right?
20
00:01:04,599 --> 00:01:05,448
But he's dead.
21
00:01:06,066 --> 00:01:07,951
You hear me? He's dead.
22
00:01:07,986 --> 00:01:10,453
He's been dead
for over 15 years,
23
00:01:10,488 --> 00:01:12,322
but every time i turn around
i hear his name!
24
00:01:14,207 --> 00:01:17,961
"Oh, you're pretty good, jesse,
but fats is better.
25
00:01:17,996 --> 00:01:19,212
Fats is the best!"
26
00:01:19,247 --> 00:01:21,081
Fats, fats!
27
00:01:21,116 --> 00:01:23,583
I'll say it again-
28
00:01:23,618 --> 00:01:25,468
fats brown is dead!
29
00:01:25,503 --> 00:01:29,222
And buried in the ground.
30
00:01:29,257 --> 00:01:33,843
And if he was alive and
in this room i could beat him.
31
00:01:33,878 --> 00:01:35,095
I'd give anything...
32
00:01:35,130 --> 00:01:37,597
anything to play him one game!
33
00:01:37,632 --> 00:01:43,603
Fats brown, fats brown,
report to lister's pool room
34
00:01:43,638 --> 00:01:46,106
randolph street, chicago.
35
00:01:46,141 --> 00:01:49,859
Fats brown, fats brown,
36
00:01:49,894 --> 00:01:55,498
lister's pool room,
randolph street, chicago.
37
00:01:55,533 --> 00:01:59,869
If you were here, fats brown,
i'd show you who was the best.
38
00:01:59,904 --> 00:02:01,121
One game, one lousy game...
39
00:02:01,156 --> 00:02:03,006
at your service.
40
00:02:13,133 --> 00:02:15,018
Jesse cardiff, pool shark-
41
00:02:15,053 --> 00:02:16,886
the best on randolph street-
42
00:02:16,921 --> 00:02:20,640
who will soon learn that trying
to be the best at anything
43
00:02:20,675 --> 00:02:26,279
carries its own special risks
in or out of the twilight zone.
44
00:02:46,716 --> 00:02:48,585
You called?
45
00:02:52,972 --> 00:02:54,224
Um, but you're...
46
00:02:54,259 --> 00:02:55,475
dead?
47
00:02:55,510 --> 00:02:56,726
Not really.
48
00:02:56,761 --> 00:02:59,095
As long as people
talk about you,
49
00:02:59,130 --> 00:03:00,346
you're not really dead.
50
00:03:00,381 --> 00:03:02,849
As long as they speak your name,
you continue.
51
00:03:02,884 --> 00:03:04,601
A legend
doesn't die
52
00:03:04,636 --> 00:03:07,103
just because
the man does.
53
00:03:07,138 --> 00:03:08,354
Oh, no...
54
00:03:08,389 --> 00:03:09,606
no, it's impossible.
55
00:03:09,641 --> 00:03:11,491
Nothing's impossible.
56
00:03:11,526 --> 00:03:15,862
Some things are less likely
than others, that's all.
57
00:03:30,295 --> 00:03:31,511
It isn't a rib.
58
00:03:31,546 --> 00:03:32,762
I mean, it's you.
59
00:03:32,797 --> 00:03:34,013
You're...
60
00:03:34,048 --> 00:03:37,133
james howard brown,
known to my friends as "fats."
61
00:03:40,887 --> 00:03:42,138
I know it's a shock,
62
00:03:42,173 --> 00:03:44,641
but you called me,
i didn't call you.
63
00:03:44,676 --> 00:03:47,777
Oh, well, i... i didn't
mean anything, see?
64
00:03:47,812 --> 00:03:50,280
I understand,
it was just big talk.
65
00:03:50,315 --> 00:03:51,531
Is that it?
66
00:03:51,566 --> 00:03:52,782
You like to play
with fire,
67
00:03:52,817 --> 00:03:54,651
but you don't
like to cook.
68
00:03:54,686 --> 00:03:56,536
You're not as good as you claim,
and you know it.
69
00:03:56,571 --> 00:03:57,787
Deep down, you know
70
00:03:57,822 --> 00:03:59,038
you're
second-rate.
71
00:03:59,073 --> 00:04:00,290
Now, wait a minute!
72
00:04:00,325 --> 00:04:02,792
Are you afraid?
73
00:04:02,827 --> 00:04:06,546
Look, i've come a long way, boy,
and not to be fooled with.
74
00:04:06,581 --> 00:04:08,414
I've seen your kind before-
75
00:04:08,449 --> 00:04:11,551
a little skill, a knack, style,
76
00:04:11,586 --> 00:04:13,419
but when the heat's on,
you fold.
77
00:04:13,454 --> 00:04:15,305
That isn't fair-
you never seen me play.
78
00:04:15,340 --> 00:04:16,556
Maybe i can beat you.
79
00:04:16,591 --> 00:04:17,807
That's possible, isn't it?
80
00:04:17,842 --> 00:04:19,058
It's possible.
81
00:04:19,093 --> 00:04:20,310
Things change.
82
00:04:20,345 --> 00:04:21,561
Records get higher.
83
00:04:21,596 --> 00:04:23,429
But you'll never get
the job done with your mouth.
84
00:04:23,464 --> 00:04:24,681
All right, fat boy,
85
00:04:24,716 --> 00:04:27,183
dead or alive,
let me tell you something.
86
00:04:27,218 --> 00:04:28,434
Maybe you are a
legend- a tin god.
87
00:04:29,068 --> 00:04:30,320
You know what
you are to me?
88
00:04:30,355 --> 00:04:30,937
You're a big balloon
89
00:04:31,571 --> 00:04:33,439
waiting for someone to
stick a needle in it.
90
00:04:33,474 --> 00:04:35,325
Well, i'm the someone
and here's the needle.
91
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,193
You're like all
the other legends.
92
00:04:37,228 --> 00:04:38,444
You live on
a reputation.
93
00:04:38,479 --> 00:04:39,696
I heard a man swear
94
00:04:39,731 --> 00:04:41,581
that he saw you make
a nine-cushion bank.
95
00:04:41,616 --> 00:04:42,832
And you don't believe it?
96
00:04:42,867 --> 00:04:44,083
It's impossible.
97
00:04:44,118 --> 00:04:44,701
You hit the
ball that hard,
98
00:04:44,736 --> 00:04:45,952
it won't stay
on the table.
99
00:04:45,987 --> 00:04:48,454
He had more imagination
than brains, huh?
100
00:04:48,489 --> 00:04:50,340
Then you'll
play me?
101
00:04:50,375 --> 00:04:51,591
Yeah.
102
00:04:51,626 --> 00:04:54,093
And what about
the stakes?
103
00:04:54,128 --> 00:04:55,345
The stakes?
104
00:04:55,380 --> 00:04:58,464
Something to make
the game interesting.
105
00:05:01,851 --> 00:05:03,102
Here, any
or all of it.
106
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,605
Come on,
use your wits, boy.
107
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,107
What good is money to me?
108
00:05:08,142 --> 00:05:09,976
Then what?
109
00:05:10,011 --> 00:05:13,730
Something to make my
long journey worthwhile.
110
00:05:13,765 --> 00:05:15,615
Name it.
111
00:05:15,650 --> 00:05:19,369
You said you'd give
anything for a game with me.
112
00:05:19,404 --> 00:05:20,620
Anything?
113
00:05:22,488 --> 00:05:24,991
What are you talking about,
mister?
114
00:05:25,026 --> 00:05:28,127
Just what kind of stakes
are you talking about?
115
00:05:28,162 --> 00:05:31,247
Life or death.
116
00:05:31,881 --> 00:05:34,384
You beat me and you live.
117
00:05:34,419 --> 00:05:36,886
You lose and you die.
118
00:05:43,142 --> 00:05:45,645
It's interesting
to see how much faith
119
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,513
you have
in yourself.
120
00:05:47,548 --> 00:05:48,765
You know something?
121
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,518
For my money, you don't want
to be the best bad enough, boy.
122
00:05:53,805 --> 00:05:55,655
Why, when i
was your age,
123
00:05:55,690 --> 00:05:58,157
i would have jumped
at the chance.
124
00:05:58,192 --> 00:06:01,277
But then, i was
something better
than second-rate.
125
00:06:01,312 --> 00:06:04,163
You better watch yourself.
126
00:06:04,198 --> 00:06:07,917
You know it takes more
than skill to be a champion.
127
00:06:07,952 --> 00:06:12,922
It takes equal parts of talent,
luck, work and nerve-
128
00:06:12,957 --> 00:06:15,425
a quality you sadly lack.
129
00:06:15,460 --> 00:06:17,176
Nerve, you mean insanity.
130
00:06:17,211 --> 00:06:19,679
Risk my life on a game of pool?
131
00:06:19,714 --> 00:06:20,930
Insanity,
if you prefer.
132
00:06:20,965 --> 00:06:22,799
I am just a pool player.
133
00:06:22,834 --> 00:06:25,935
There's probably no less
important thing on earth.
134
00:06:25,970 --> 00:06:27,804
But mark this in your book-
135
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:29,055
i'm the best.
136
00:06:29,090 --> 00:06:31,557
It's a proud thing
to be the best.
137
00:06:31,592 --> 00:06:33,559
You wouldn't
know about that.
138
00:06:33,594 --> 00:06:34,193
Where you going?
I'm going back.
139
00:06:34,228 --> 00:06:35,445
Wait.
140
00:06:36,062 --> 00:06:37,947
You say i don't
want to be the best
141
00:06:37,982 --> 00:06:39,816
but you're wrong.
142
00:06:39,851 --> 00:06:41,317
Do you know how many hours,
how many years,
143
00:06:41,352 --> 00:06:43,202
how much of myself
i've put into this game?
144
00:06:43,237 --> 00:06:45,705
How many nights i've slept
on that table right there?
145
00:06:45,740 --> 00:06:47,206
I made a deal
with the owner
146
00:06:47,241 --> 00:06:48,458
so i could
practice
147
00:06:49,075 --> 00:06:50,326
after the
place closed.
148
00:06:50,361 --> 00:06:52,211
I haven't been
to the movies in years.
149
00:06:52,246 --> 00:06:53,463
I haven't dated a girl,
read a book
150
00:06:53,498 --> 00:06:55,331
because it would take
time away from the game.
151
00:06:55,965 --> 00:06:57,333
Still talk and nothing else.
152
00:06:57,368 --> 00:06:59,218
I'm good, mister!
153
00:06:59,253 --> 00:07:01,087
I'm...
154
00:07:01,721 --> 00:07:02,972
i'm good.
155
00:07:05,475 --> 00:07:07,977
But am i that good?
156
00:07:08,012 --> 00:07:09,228
You'll really
never know
157
00:07:09,263 --> 00:07:11,731
until you're ready
to risk everything.
158
00:07:11,766 --> 00:07:13,599
Look, will you
stop pushing, huh?
159
00:07:13,634 --> 00:07:15,485
You know,
where i come from,
160
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:16,736
there's a race driver.
161
00:07:16,771 --> 00:07:19,238
Go to the track
and whisper his name.
162
00:07:19,273 --> 00:07:20,490
Say "tazio nuvolarl"
163
00:07:20,525 --> 00:07:22,992
and watch the heads
nod up and down.
164
00:07:23,027 --> 00:07:26,112
Or go to a bullring
and hear of manolete.
165
00:07:26,147 --> 00:07:27,997
Both men faced
death daily
166
00:07:28,032 --> 00:07:29,866
and both are legends.
167
00:07:29,901 --> 00:07:32,368
You never make
the grade at anything
168
00:07:32,403 --> 00:07:34,253
by playing it safe.
169
00:07:38,007 --> 00:07:40,510
Oh, boy, this is nutty.
170
00:07:40,545 --> 00:07:41,761
No.
171
00:07:41,796 --> 00:07:44,881
You accept
the terms-
172
00:07:44,916 --> 00:07:47,383
life or death?
173
00:08:26,172 --> 00:08:31,177
You know, the big game hunter
has his elephant gun.
174
00:08:31,212 --> 00:08:35,565
And the fencer,
he uses a blade from lima.
175
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,936
This cue was made for me
special, st. Louis.
176
00:08:41,187 --> 00:08:43,072
Cost $600.
177
00:08:43,689 --> 00:08:48,694
Yep, i made my living with it
for 35 years.
178
00:08:52,448 --> 00:08:54,333
Name the game.
179
00:08:54,368 --> 00:08:56,202
Rotation?
180
00:08:56,237 --> 00:08:58,087
Kelly.
181
00:08:58,122 --> 00:09:00,590
14.1 rack.
182
00:09:00,625 --> 00:09:01,841
8-ball.
183
00:09:01,876 --> 00:09:03,709
Well, let's
184
00:09:03,744 --> 00:09:05,595
let's see
how good you really are.
185
00:09:05,630 --> 00:09:08,714
Uh, 14.1 rack,
one game, 300 points.
186
00:09:08,749 --> 00:09:10,600
You got a coin?
187
00:09:10,635 --> 00:09:12,969
Toss for break?
188
00:09:13,004 --> 00:09:14,220
You call it.
189
00:09:14,255 --> 00:09:16,722
Tails.
190
00:09:16,757 --> 00:09:18,357
Change your mind?
191
00:09:18,392 --> 00:09:19,609
You can, you know.
192
00:09:24,864 --> 00:09:26,732
Heads-
193
00:09:26,767 --> 00:09:28,618
my break.
194
00:09:46,335 --> 00:09:48,220
I know what you're
thinking, son-
195
00:09:48,255 --> 00:09:50,723
"the man who breaks
is at a disadvantage.
196
00:09:50,758 --> 00:09:51,974
"Once he scatters
the balls
197
00:09:52,009 --> 00:09:54,477
the other man
has a clear field."
198
00:09:54,512 --> 00:09:55,728
Sure.
199
00:09:56,979 --> 00:09:58,230
Safe.
200
00:10:07,106 --> 00:10:08,741
Wow.
201
00:10:08,776 --> 00:10:09,992
Two balls
into the rail-
202
00:10:10,027 --> 00:10:12,495
a perfect break and
no advantage given.
203
00:10:12,530 --> 00:10:14,997
Now it's you turn
to scatter them.
204
00:10:20,002 --> 00:10:21,253
Safe.
205
00:10:29,261 --> 00:10:31,764
Do something
with that.
206
00:10:43,643 --> 00:10:46,779
15 ball in the corner pocket.
207
00:10:51,784 --> 00:10:53,653
There's a funny thing-
208
00:10:53,688 --> 00:10:55,538
i was thinking if i sink it,
209
00:10:55,573 --> 00:10:58,541
you're really in trouble.
210
00:10:58,576 --> 00:11:00,793
With luck, i can run the table.
211
00:11:00,828 --> 00:11:03,295
And if you miss, you
leave me wide open.
212
00:11:15,925 --> 00:11:18,427
Nine ball in the corner.
213
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,815
Ten ball, three cushion,
in the side.
214
00:11:29,689 --> 00:11:32,191
How about that, fat boy?
215
00:11:32,226 --> 00:11:33,826
Not bad.
216
00:11:35,194 --> 00:11:37,079
That was great.
217
00:11:38,330 --> 00:11:40,199
You're like all the others.
218
00:11:40,234 --> 00:11:42,084
When i was a kid, i knew
a lot of guys like you.
219
00:11:42,702 --> 00:11:43,953
Guys who were
good at things
220
00:11:43,988 --> 00:11:45,204
like music
and basketball.
221
00:11:45,239 --> 00:11:47,089
Guys who would
do anything
222
00:11:47,124 --> 00:11:48,958
to make me feel
about that big.
223
00:11:48,993 --> 00:11:50,843
But you fooled
them, right?
224
00:11:50,878 --> 00:11:53,345
Yeah, i did,
that's right.
225
00:11:53,380 --> 00:11:55,214
I did.
226
00:11:55,249 --> 00:11:57,717
Two ball in the corner pocket.
227
00:11:57,752 --> 00:12:00,603
I knew there was something
i could be good at.
228
00:12:00,638 --> 00:12:03,723
One day, i was about 16,
i wandered into here.
229
00:12:04,974 --> 00:12:05,608
It was cool
and dark
230
00:12:06,225 --> 00:12:08,110
like... like
being underwater.
231
00:12:08,145 --> 00:12:09,979
I used to come back.
I used to watch them play.
232
00:12:10,014 --> 00:12:12,481
One day i picked up a cue,
i asked an old man,
233
00:12:12,516 --> 00:12:14,366
he was sitting right over there,
right there,
234
00:12:14,401 --> 00:12:16,235
i said,
"you want to play, mister?"
235
00:12:16,270 --> 00:12:17,486
And i beat him.
236
00:12:17,521 --> 00:12:21,240
The first time i ever played
him, and i beat him!
237
00:12:21,275 --> 00:12:23,125
I knew i had an eye
for this game.
238
00:12:26,879 --> 00:12:29,381
What happened to it?
239
00:12:29,416 --> 00:12:31,250
I almost made it.
240
00:12:35,004 --> 00:12:39,258
Funny thing, in geometry,
"almost" isn't enough.
241
00:12:39,293 --> 00:12:41,143
Geometry?
Mm-hmm.
242
00:12:41,761 --> 00:12:45,514
Pool is geometry...
243
00:12:45,549 --> 00:12:47,399
in its most
challenging form-
244
00:12:47,434 --> 00:12:51,771
a science of precise angles
and forces.
245
00:12:56,158 --> 00:12:58,661
14 in the end pocket.
246
00:13:04,283 --> 00:13:05,534
Angles and
forces, huh?
247
00:13:05,569 --> 00:13:08,037
You sewed yourself up
pretty good.
248
00:13:19,298 --> 00:13:21,801
13 ball...
249
00:13:21,836 --> 00:13:24,303
corner pocket.
250
00:13:25,554 --> 00:13:27,306
Ha!
251
00:13:29,191 --> 00:13:30,943
Your shot.
252
00:13:35,064 --> 00:13:36,949
Six, corner.
253
00:13:36,984 --> 00:13:38,200
Four, corner.
254
00:13:40,703 --> 00:13:41,954
Twelve.
255
00:13:51,330 --> 00:13:53,215
13 in the corner pocket.
256
00:13:56,335 --> 00:13:58,220
Four ball, corner.
257
00:14:00,723 --> 00:14:01,974
Two ball, corner.
258
00:14:08,230 --> 00:14:10,099
Five ball in the side.
259
00:14:25,748 --> 00:14:27,616
15 in the side pocket.
260
00:14:46,385 --> 00:14:48,888
I've got 59, you've
got seven points.
261
00:14:48,923 --> 00:14:51,390
The game is young yet,
very young.
262
00:14:51,425 --> 00:14:53,275
Rack them up.
263
00:15:10,159 --> 00:15:12,044
One ball, end pocket.
264
00:15:21,420 --> 00:15:23,055
Seven.
265
00:15:27,426 --> 00:15:28,677
Five.
266
00:15:32,064 --> 00:15:33,315
Eleven.
267
00:15:37,569 --> 00:15:39,438
Eight.
268
00:16:08,851 --> 00:16:12,604
Ten ball
in the corner pocket.
269
00:16:34,493 --> 00:16:36,996
You needed those
four balls to win.
270
00:16:37,031 --> 00:16:38,247
See the score?
271
00:16:38,282 --> 00:16:39,498
I got 299, you got 296.
272
00:16:39,533 --> 00:16:42,001
Yeah, yeah,
i see the score.
273
00:16:42,036 --> 00:16:43,886
Well, i need
that one to win.
274
00:16:45,137 --> 00:16:47,006
You need all of them.
275
00:16:48,257 --> 00:16:50,142
Just that one.
276
00:16:58,267 --> 00:16:59,518
Bank the five...
277
00:16:59,553 --> 00:17:01,403
in the corner.
278
00:17:43,312 --> 00:17:44,563
You know something,
jesse?
279
00:17:44,598 --> 00:17:47,066
There's more to life
than this pool hall.
280
00:17:47,101 --> 00:17:50,819
It isn't right, your being
all cooped up in here.
281
00:17:50,854 --> 00:17:53,322
You ought to
get out a little
282
00:17:53,357 --> 00:17:54,323
see what's going on.
283
00:17:54,358 --> 00:17:56,825
You didn't get to be the best
sitting on a park bench.
284
00:17:56,860 --> 00:17:59,328
You spent a lot of time
with that cue in your hands.
285
00:17:59,363 --> 00:18:00,579
Of course
i did.
286
00:18:00,614 --> 00:18:03,082
But i took time out
to live, too.
287
00:18:03,117 --> 00:18:06,218
I've been places where
they never heard of billiards.
288
00:18:06,253 --> 00:18:08,087
15 ball in the corner pocket.
289
00:18:08,122 --> 00:18:10,589
I may not
look the part, jesse,
290
00:18:10,624 --> 00:18:11,840
but i made love,
291
00:18:11,875 --> 00:18:14,343
walked uphill,
swam in the ocean...
292
00:18:14,378 --> 00:18:17,479
when i think of
the wonderful things there are
293
00:18:17,514 --> 00:18:19,982
to see and to do, it hurts me-
294
00:18:20,017 --> 00:18:21,600
yeah-
295
00:18:21,635 --> 00:18:24,103
to see you rotting
your life away
296
00:18:24,138 --> 00:18:25,988
in this miserable,
dark hall.
297
00:18:26,023 --> 00:18:27,239
You're lying.
298
00:18:27,274 --> 00:18:29,108
You're trying
to distract me.
299
00:18:29,741 --> 00:18:31,610
That's a lousy
thing to do.
300
00:18:31,645 --> 00:18:33,495
15 in the corner.
301
00:18:48,127 --> 00:18:50,012
You made
me do that!
302
00:18:50,047 --> 00:18:50,629
You made me miss!
303
00:18:50,664 --> 00:18:53,132
Aw, come on,
a little gamesmanship,
304
00:18:53,167 --> 00:18:55,017
a little fun
and you come apart.
305
00:18:55,634 --> 00:18:58,770
Kid stuff to make you
break your concentration
306
00:18:58,805 --> 00:19:00,022
and you get wild.
307
00:19:28,417 --> 00:19:30,302
There it is-
308
00:19:30,337 --> 00:19:32,171
the game ball.
309
00:19:32,206 --> 00:19:35,924
All my life i've been
waiting for this, it's...
310
00:19:35,959 --> 00:19:38,560
it's a pocket hanger.
311
00:19:39,678 --> 00:19:40,929
I sink that...
312
00:19:40,964 --> 00:19:43,432
i become the greatest.
313
00:19:44,066 --> 00:19:45,934
If you sink it.
314
00:19:47,186 --> 00:19:47,819
You're sweating.
315
00:19:47,854 --> 00:19:49,071
Why you so
nervous?
316
00:19:49,106 --> 00:19:52,824
Oh, for reasons i'm afraid
you wouldn't understand.
317
00:19:52,859 --> 00:19:54,693
I understand all right.
318
00:19:54,728 --> 00:19:56,578
It means a lot, doesn't it?
319
00:19:56,613 --> 00:19:57,829
Even as a dead man...
320
00:19:57,864 --> 00:19:59,448
have your name
up there-
321
00:19:59,483 --> 00:20:01,333
"the unbeatable
champ of all times!"
322
00:20:01,368 --> 00:20:03,202
Carries certain
satisfactions.
323
00:20:03,237 --> 00:20:05,704
"I'll give you a
chance at my crown,
324
00:20:05,739 --> 00:20:08,207
but only if you stake
your life on the game!"
325
00:20:08,242 --> 00:20:10,709
Couldn't be a nice
friendly, little game!
326
00:20:10,744 --> 00:20:12,594
I take them as i find them.
327
00:20:12,629 --> 00:20:15,714
To you, pool is not
a nice, friendly game.
328
00:20:15,749 --> 00:20:18,217
It's a win-at-any-price affair.
329
00:20:18,252 --> 00:20:20,102
I acted accordingly.
330
00:20:20,137 --> 00:20:21,470
It didn't do you any good.
331
00:20:22,471 --> 00:20:24,973
There's still one
ball on the table
332
00:20:25,008 --> 00:20:28,110
and it's taking you a mighty
long time to get at it.
333
00:20:28,145 --> 00:20:29,978
Why?
334
00:20:30,013 --> 00:20:32,481
You wouldn't believe
this, jesse,
335
00:20:32,516 --> 00:20:35,617
but personally,
i'd like to see you win.
336
00:20:35,652 --> 00:20:36,868
Yeah.
337
00:20:36,903 --> 00:20:39,871
Believe me,
i've only been doing my job.
338
00:20:39,906 --> 00:20:42,374
Someone has to keep the flame.
339
00:20:42,409 --> 00:20:46,745
Someone has to weed out those
who haven't got what it takes.
340
00:20:46,780 --> 00:20:49,248
You see, the champions,
the legends,
341
00:20:49,283 --> 00:20:51,133
they serve as a purpose,
342
00:20:51,168 --> 00:20:54,886
a challenge,
an incentive.
343
00:20:54,921 --> 00:20:56,755
I don't need a challenge.
344
00:20:56,790 --> 00:20:59,258
Everyone needs a challenge,
jesse-
345
00:20:59,293 --> 00:21:02,394
someone great
out of the past to say,
346
00:21:02,429 --> 00:21:06,148
"match what i've done, boy,
and make it better."
347
00:21:06,183 --> 00:21:09,268
That's true in all
walks of life-
348
00:21:09,303 --> 00:21:12,404
music, politics, sports,
you name it.
349
00:21:12,439 --> 00:21:15,524
Me- i'm only a pool player,
350
00:21:15,559 --> 00:21:17,409
but i'm the best.
351
00:21:17,444 --> 00:21:19,528
Youwerethe best.
352
00:21:22,281 --> 00:21:24,166
Wait a minute, jesse.
353
00:21:24,201 --> 00:21:25,417
Before you shoot,
354
00:21:25,452 --> 00:21:27,286
think of this-
shoot that ball,
355
00:21:27,321 --> 00:21:30,422
and you may win more
than you bargained for.
356
00:21:30,457 --> 00:21:33,792
There's nothing you can say
that will stop me.
357
00:21:33,827 --> 00:21:35,043
Nothing.
358
00:21:35,078 --> 00:21:36,295
I'm sorry.
359
00:21:36,330 --> 00:21:38,797
I was required to say that.
360
00:21:57,816 --> 00:22:00,952
Win more than i
bargained for, huh?
361
00:22:00,987 --> 00:22:02,821
No... i beat you.
362
00:22:02,856 --> 00:22:04,706
I'm the best.
363
00:22:04,741 --> 00:22:07,826
I'm the best
at something.
364
00:22:07,861 --> 00:22:10,329
Thanks.
365
00:22:13,465 --> 00:22:14,716
What do you

366
00:22:14,751 --> 00:22:17,836
I beat you, i'm the best,
and i'm going to live.
367
00:22:17,871 --> 00:22:20,339
Of course you are,
those were the stakes.
368
00:22:20,374 --> 00:22:22,841
Then what's with
the thanks, fat boy?
369
00:22:22,876 --> 00:22:25,344
You'll find out

370
00:22:25,379 --> 00:22:27,229
for you to leave
randolph street.
371
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,349
You sore loser.

fats brown!
379
00:23:08,887 --> 00:23:11,390

And i'm going to stay the best
383
00:23:20,817 --> 00:23:25,153
because nobody is ever going
to take it away from me.
384
00:23:25,188 --> 00:23:26,405
Nobody ever!
385
00:23:30,792 --> 00:23:33,912
It's me, jesse cardiff,

386
00:23:33,947 --> 00:23:35,797
Jesse cardiff, jesse cardiff!
387
00:23:35,832 --> 00:23:38,300

after his funeral
392
00:23:55,218 --> 00:23:57,068
that being the best of anything
393
00:23:57,103 --> 00:23:58,937
carries with it
a special an obligation
394
00:23:58,972 --> 00:23:59,571
to keep on proving it.
395
00:23:59,606 --> 00:24:01,440

00:24:01,475 --> 00:24:03,325
