The Color of Money

The balls are pocketed

in numbered order.

The only ball

that means anything...

that wins it,

is the 9.

The player can shoot

eight trick shots in a row...

blow the 9, and lose.

On the other hand...

the player can get

the 9 in on the break...

if the balls spread right,

and win.

Which is to say that luck

plays a part in 9-ball.

But for some players...

luck itself is an art.

Colour.

Check the colour.

Dead giveaway,

you know?

It's thick.

You can almost feel it.

Lay down and let it

roll all over you.

That's single malt.

On the other hand,

you got something like Old Mcdonnell.

More like Young Mcdonnell,

actually.

Tastes like

Smell this.

Mmm.

Hmm?

That's good stuff.

Yeah.

Very good stuff.

I can get you a case

for $35.50 less...

than your wholesaler

can get you a case of Jack Daniel's.

Go peddle that to one

of your hotel chains.

Peddle?

I don't do that, do I?

This is family.

I'm glad

to see you, too.

Come to my house

tonight.

I'll make you

an omelet.

I'll make the omelets.

Did you forget the omelet

I made you last time?

No.

What was in it?

Sweet sausage.

Sweet sausage.

Hey, I never made you

sweet sausage.

Eddie.

Come on,

what was in it?

Sour.

Sour cream

and caviar, right?

Okay. Excuse me.

Eddie.

Julian,

am I working?

I'm working, too.

This guy is up

for 20 a rack.

What guy?

Playing 2, 21/2 hours

for 5 a game.

He's up 30.

I've been

playing him off.

Yo, Vincent!

Vincent, we're on.

Hey, Vincent.

Can you believe this guy?

Hey, Vinnie.

You slide this stuff

into a bottle of Old Granddad...

you'd hardly be lying.

Pick me up.

I get off at 10:
00.

Not without me

you don't.

Do you?

Lately...

Wait a minute.

I'm talking bourbon.

You know the secret?

These people get a hold

of aged kegs.

You're tasting

low fusel oil content.

Just like the big guys.

It's the kegs.

Where do you get

the kegs?

Hey.

That was fast.

What the hell happened?

I slipped.

He slipped.

Where do they get

the kegs?

They just do.

Do whatever you want.

It'll leave the warehouse

one way or another.

On the snap, Vincent.

That kid's got

a sledgehammer break.

Bottoms up.

Do you know who

loves this stuff?

The Chinese.

It must be the low

fusel oil content.

Don't kid yourself.

It has its effect.

It's like those things

you take for granted, like electricity.

Eddie, loan me

another 20.

Who you working,

me or him?

He's on the ropes.

He just lucked out.

You know me, right?

Take it easy.

Woo!

Woo! Woo! Woo!

Victory.

Pick us out

a nice bottle of wine.

Red or white?

On the snap, Vincent.

Hey, Eddie,

about those labels.

Can you get me

some Wild Turkey labels?

Sure.

#... Oh, one more night #

# 'Cause I can't

one more night #

# Give me one more night #

# I can't wait forever... #

Hiya.

How you doing?

to the sea #

# I will always be

with you #

# And if you should

sail away #

# I will follow you #

# Give me one more night #

# Give me just

one more night #

Kid draws

some bead, huh?

# Oh, one more night #

# I can't wait forever #

# I know there'll

never be a time... #

Play him again.

You really got him on the ropes.

One more,

right, chief?

I got to split.

You're going.

Come on,

one more game.

I'm bust.

So let's just

play play.

What?

Play for play.

No money.

Play play?

Show me

what you got.

Vincent.

Julian, I just want

your best game.

I think the money's

throwing you off today.

#... One more night #

# 'Cause I can't

wait forever #

How about I win,
