The Hustler Quote
Bert Gordon : Eddie, is it alright if I get personal?
Fast Eddie : Whaddaya been so far?
Bert Gordon : Eddie, you're a born loser.
Fast Eddie : What's that supposed to mean?
Bert Gordon : First time in ten years I ever saw Minnesota Fats hooked... really hooked. But you let him off.
Fast Eddie : I told you I got drunk.
Bert Gordon : Sure you got drunk. You have the best excuse in the world for losing; no trouble losing when you got a good excuse. Winning... that can be heavy on your back, too, like a monkey. You'll drop that load too when you got an excuse. All you gotta do is learn to feel sorry for yourself. One of the best indoor sports, feeling sorry for yourself. A sport enjoyed by all, especially the born losers.
Fast Eddie : Thanks for the drink.
