- [last lines]
- Fast Eddie: Fat man, you shoot a great game of pool.
- Minnesota Fats: So do you, Fast Eddie.
- Minnesota Fats: Shoot pool, Fast Eddie.
- Fast Eddie: I'm shootin' pool, Fats. When I miss, you can shoot.
- 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. Sausage, rack 'em up.
- 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.
- Minnesota Fats: Your shot.
- Fast Eddie: You miss? Now, you don't leave much when you miss, do you fat man?
- Minnesota Fats: That's what the game's all about.
- Minnesota Fats: You break.
- Fast Eddie: [Eddie breaks] I didn't leave you much.
- Minnesota Fats: You left enough. Six in the corner. Fifteen, in the corner. Ace, in the side. Eight. Ten. Eleven...
- Minnesota Fats: Is your name Felson? Eddie Felson?
- Fast Eddie: That's right.
- Minnesota Fats: I hear you've been looking for me.
- Fast Eddie: Yeah, that's right, too.
- Fast Eddie: You're Minnesota Fats, aren't you? You know, they say Minnesota Fats is the best in the country, where I come from.
- Minnesota Fats: Is that a fact?
- Fast Eddie: Yes, sir, boy. They say that old Fats shoots the eyes off them balls.
