- Dallas McCarthy: [narrating] There are all sorts of ways to hit a cue ball. The thing you're trying to do is send it a particular direction, to hit another ball and drop that ball into a pocket. But it's where you send the cue ball next that separates you from the others.
- Dallas McCarthy: When you first start playing you think it's only about that one ball. You can put backspins, sidespin, or topspin on a ball. Or you can make it stop on a dime, bounce off a rail. You can hit a ball soft, hard, or just give it a little kiss. You can send a ball behind another ball to make it hard for your opponent to make a shot.
- Dallas McCarthy: Once you have the skills, you can do any of these things.
