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
wait forever #
# Give me one more night #
# Give me just
one more night #
# Give me one more night #
# I can't wait forever... #
Hiya.
How you doing?
#... Like a river
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,
