The Hustler Quote
[ in their $3,000 game, after Minnesota Fats breaks, it's Eddie's shot ]
Fast Eddie : How should I play that one, Bert? Play it safe? That's the way you always told me to play it: safe... play the percentage. Well, here we go: fast and loose. One ball, corner pocket. Yeah, percentage players die broke, too, don't they, Bert? [ he makes the shot and the spectators applaud ]
Fast Eddie : How can I lose?
