Minnesota Fats : Big John, do you think this boy is a hustler?

Minnesota Fats : Do you like to gamble, Eddie? Gamble money on pool games?

Fast Eddie : You sure don't leave much when you miss, do you, Fats? Minnesota Fats : That's what the game's all about

Fast Eddie : Fats, you can't run out on me! Minnesota Fats : You watch me.

Fast Eddie : What if I don't pay ya, Bert? Bert Gordon : [laughs]  You don't pay me? You're gonna get your thumbs broken again. And your fingers. If I want 'em to, they're gonna break your right arm in three or four places. Minnesota Fats : You better pay him, Eddie. Fast Eddie : So you figure you're still my manager, huh? Bert Gordon : I'm a business-man, kid.

Fast Eddie : Fats, let's you and me shoot a game of straight pool. Minnesota Fats : Hundred dollars? Fast Eddie : Well, you shoot big time pool, Fats. I mean, that's what everybody says: you shoot big time pool. Let's make it $200 a game. Minnesota Fats : Now I know why they call you Fast Eddie.

[last lines]  Fast Eddie : Fat man, you shoot a great game of pool. Minnesota Fats : So do you, Fast Eddie.
