Because, you know, you seem so distant. And you work late every night. And we hardly ever have sex, and when we do, it's... I don't know. It feels different.	I'm just preoccupied.
I'm just preoccupied.	Do you like my new look?
Do you like my new look?	Yeah. It's nice. It's really good.

Shh. It's okay. It's okay, Lila. You're what I want. You know that. You're exactly what I want.	Really?

Sure. Of course.	Because I'm really trying, you know. Rosie says maybe only another two years of the elctrolysis.
Because I'm really trying, you know. Rosie says maybe only another two years of the elctrolysis.	That's great.
That's great.	I've signed up for a ballet class. And look at my nails! A real girl!
Hey! I could come work for you! I know I haven't been all that supportive of this project, but I've come around.	Have you?
Have you?	Oh yes, baby! I think that this is a wonderful project you're doing, taking this poor unfortunate, uncivilized creature and turning him into a human being! What a wonderful wonderful compassionate man you are!
Oh yes, baby! I think that this is a wonderful project you're doing, taking this poor unfortunate, uncivilized creature and turning him into a human being! What a wonderful wonderful compassionate man you are!	Really?
Really?	Yes! And I want to help. You won't have to pay me, and I was thinking of giving up that crazy nature writing anyway.
Yes! And I want to help. You won't have to pay me, and I was thinking of giving up that crazy nature writing anyway.	How come?
How come?	Who needs it? I have you and I have being a woman and I have thinking about womanly things! I love being a woman because...
Who needs it? I have you and I have being a woman and I have thinking about womanly things! I love being a woman because...	Such as what womanly things?
Such as what womanly things?	Such as my man and how to please him! Such as making wonderful dinners for my man! Such as looking pretty for my man! And I'm writing an article on quilting for the Ladies Home Journal!
Such as my man and how to please him! Such as making wonderful dinners for my man! Such as looking pretty for my man! And I'm writing an article on quilting for the Ladies Home Journal!	I had sold my fucking soul.
I had sold my fucking soul.	I let her sell her soul. I stood by as she did it. It's inexcusable. At the time though I thought it might help.
Look at you two. You both disgust me.	Oook. Oook.
Oook. Oook.	Shut up! I gave you... life. I created you in my image, Puff. I took you from this primordial ooze and brought you into the world of culture and art and manners. And this is how you repay me? By heading back to the ooze first chance you get? I should leave you here with Lila the ape woman. It would serve you right, you ungrateful piece of crap. But I'm not going to. You're too valuable to me. Totally selfish of me. You serve my purpose. But if you had any smarts you would realize that I serve your purpose as well. Life is so much more delightful when lived in a silk suit.

Ooka.	Don't worry, Lila. You can stay. I don't have any interest in you anymore. C'mon, monkey boy.
You did create me in your image, Nathan. Before you I was a simple, happy, complete being, in harmony with the world around me. After you I became duplicitous, cynical, angry, anal, totally out of touch with my surroundings. In a word, Nathan, I became you. Lila has reintroduced me to myself. And, incidentally, what I'm about to do, kill you, is something that would never have occurred to me to do as a creature of the Earth. Before when I killed, it was for food or in self-defense. Now I will kill for revenge. Revenge is an abstract concept, Nathan. And I learned abstract thinking from you.	No.
So anyway, that's the nightmare I've been having lately.	Do you suppose it has anything to do with Lila's unusually hairy body?
Do you suppose it has anything to do with Lila's unusually hairy body?	No, why?
No, why?	Well, it seems that since Lila broached the subject of children, you've been on edge and I know you have an issue with the, uh, body hair.
Well, it seems that since Lila broached the subject of children, you've been on edge and I know you have an issue with the, uh, body hair.	Oh, I see. Yes, that's something to think about. That's very good. That's what you get the big bucks, right? Ha ha.
Oh, I see. Yes, that's something to think about. That's very good. That's what you get the big bucks, right? Ha ha.	I just think it might be important to explore your feelings for Lila.
I just think it might be important to explore your feelings for Lila.	I love Lila. I mean, she's a wonderful person. And... she loves me! That's no small potatoes. I mean she really loves me. She's sacrificed so much to be in this relationship with me. And she's a good person. A truly good person. How rare is that in this world, eh? And how could I stop loving somebody because of a little physical imperfection, if it can even be called that. I mean, God knows I'm not perfect! What about my eyesight? It's lousy, that's what! Lila's not going to leave me because of my eyesight. What about my penis?
I love Lila. I mean, she's a wonderful person. And... she loves me! That's no small potatoes. I mean she really loves me. She's sacrificed so much to be in this relationship with me.

You bastard.	Listen, Miss Ladybird, you're here on a rain check and I know it. You're hanging on by your nails. You let that glory whistle blow loud and clear for Eddie and you're a wreck on a railroad track. You're a horse that finished last. So don't make trouble, Miss Ladybird. Live and let live. While you can.
Eddie, is it all right if I get personal?	Whaddya been so far?
Whaddya been so far?	Eddie, you're a born loser.
Eddie, you're a born loser.	What's that supposed to mean?
What's that supposed to mean?	First time in ten years I ever saw Minnesota Fats hooked, really hooked. But you let him off.
First time in ten years I ever saw Minnesota Fats hooked, really hooked. But you let him off.	I told you. I got drunk.
I told you. I got drunk.	Sure, you got drunk. That's the best excuse in the world for losing. No trouble losing when you got a good excuse. And winning! That can be heavy on your back too. Like a monkey. You drop that load too when you got an excuse. All you gotta do is learn to feel sorry for yourself. It's one of the best indoor sports: feeling sorry for yourself -- a sport enjoyed by all, especially the born losers.

Ten reasons. Maybe fifteen. And also there's something in it for me.	Oh yeah, I figured that. How much?
Oh yeah, I figured that. How much?	Seventy-five per cent.
Seventy-five per cent.	For who?
For who?	For me.
For me.	That's a -- that's a pretty big slice. Who do you think you are, General Motors?
That's a -- that's a pretty big slice. Who do you think you are, General Motors?	How much you think you're worth these days? I'm puttin' up the money, I'm puttin' up the time. For that I get seventy-five per cent return on my money -- if you win.
How much you think you're worth these days? I'm puttin' up the money, I'm puttin' up the time. For that I get seventy-five per cent return on my money -- if you win.	You think I can lose?
You think I can lose?	I never saw you do anything else.
I never saw you do anything else.	You saw me beat Minnesota Fats for eighteen thousand dollars.
You saw me beat Minnesota Fats for eighteen thousand dollars.	Look, you wanna hustle pool, don't you? This game isn't like football. Nobody pays you for yardage. When you hustle you keep score real simple. The end of the game you count up your money. That's how you find out who's best. That's the only way.
Look, you wanna hustle pool, don't you? This game isn't like football. Nobody pays you for yardage. When you hustle you keep score real simple. The end of the game you count up your money. That's how you find out who's best. That's the only way.	Why back me then? Why not back yourself? Go find yourself a big fat poker game and get rich. You know all the angles.
Why back me then? Why not back yourself? Go find yourself a big fat poker game and get rich. You know all the angles.	I'm already rich. But I like action. That's one thing I think you're good for is action. Besides, like I say... you got talent.
I'm already rich. But I like action. That's one thing I think you're good for is action. Besides, like I say... you got talent.	Yeah, you already told me that. You cut that slice down to bite-size and maybe we can talk.
Yeah, you already told me that. You cut that slice down to bite-size and maybe we can talk.	No, we don't talk. I don't make bad bets. Seventy-five, twenty-five. That's it.
No, we don't talk. I don't make bad bets. Seventy-five, twenty-five. That's it.	Kiss off.
Fats knew the game was in the clutch, knew he had to do something to stop ya. He played it smart.	I played that game, Bert. In my head I played it a thousand times.
I played that game, Bert. In my head I played it a thousand times.	Play it again. Learn something. Fats went in the john, see? Washed his face, cleaned his fingernails, made his mind a blank, combed his hair, came back all ready to go. You were through. You saw him, you saw how he looked. Clean, all set to start all over again. Hold tight and push hard. You know what you were doing? You were waitin' to get beat. Flattened out on your butt, swimmin' around in glory. And whisky. Probably deciding how you could lose.
How do we stand?	'Bout even.
'Bout even.	When do I raise the bet?
When do I raise the bet?	I don't know.
I don't know.	Bert, if that's his best game, I can beat him.
Bert, if that's his best game, I can beat him.	Level with me, Eddie. You ever play billiards before?
Level with me, Eddie. You ever play billiards before?	What's the difference? You got a pool cue, balls on the table. All you gotta do is get the feel of it.
You ought to take up crap shooting. Talk about luck!	Luck! Whaddya mean, luck?
Luck! Whaddya mean, luck?	You know what I mean. You couldn't make that shot again in a million years.
You know what I mean. You couldn't make that shot again in a million years.	I couldn't, huh? Okay. Go ahead. Set 'em up the way they were before.
I couldn't, huh? Okay. Go ahead. Set 'em up the way they were before.	Why?
Why?	Go ahead. Set 'em up the way they were before. Bet ya twenty bucks. Make that shot just the way I made it before.
Go ahead. Set 'em up the way they were before. Bet ya twenty bucks. Make that shot just the way I made it before.	Nobody can make that shot and you know it. Not even a lucky lush.
Well... well, now.	Don't be a chump. Don't bet any more money on that damn fool shot.
Don't be a chump. Don't bet any more money on that damn fool shot.	Well, now... I mean, you figure I'm a little drunk, and I'm loaded on the hip, and you just want in, real friendly, while the money's still floating, huh? Okay... Go ahead. Set 'em up.
What are you trying to do, Eddie? You beat him. You beat him bad. You wanna kill yourself?	What are ya, chicken, Charlie?
What are ya, chicken, Charlie?	Well, maybe that's it. I'm chicken.
Well, maybe that's it. I'm chicken.	Go on home. Just leave me the money.

Charlie, boy, you better give me that money. C'mon now, give it to me. It's mine.	Okay, here... Be a damn fool.
You walked out on me like that. No goodbye, no nothing. Like a thief in the dark. We were partners. We were more than partners. He was like a... like --	A son.
A son.	Yeah, yeah, like a son. I've known this boy since he was sixteen. The first time I saw him, back in Oakland, I said, "This is a talented boy. This is a smart boy."
Yeah, yeah, like a son. I've known this boy since he was sixteen. The first time I saw him, back in Oakland, I said, "This is a talented boy. This is a smart boy."	Talk to me, Charlie.
Talk to me, Charlie.	I want you to come back on the road with me.
I want you to come back on the road with me.	Aah! I've got no stomach for that any more. I've had that kind of life.
Aah! I've got no stomach for that any more. I've had that kind of life.	What kind of life have you got here? Scufflin' around the small rooms, picking up eight, ten bucks a day?
What kind of life have you got here? Scufflin' around the small rooms, picking up eight, ten bucks a day?	I'll connect. I'll get you your money back.
I'll connect. I'll get you your money back.	Are you figuring on going back to Ames to play Minnesota Fats again? Is that what's on your mind?
Are you figuring on going back to Ames to play Minnesota Fats again? Is that what's on your mind?	Never been out of it. I'm gonna beat that fat man... with that curly hair, and those diamond rings, and that carnation.
Never been out of it. I'm gonna beat that fat man... with that curly hair, and those diamond rings, and that carnation.	This boy's crazy. They wiped the floor with him. They beat his brains out and he wants to go back. What for? To take another beating?
This boy's crazy. They wiped the floor with him. They beat his brains out and he wants to go back. What for? To take another beating?	I told you you'd get your money back.
I told you you'd get your money back.	He thinks I care about the money. I care about you. Do you care about me, Eddie? We're together a long time, night and day. So how do you say goodbye? You gimme the car and a hundred bucks. You think I care about the dough, the car? I care about you. This boy is the greatest pool hustler you ever saw. A real high-class con man. He can charm anybody into anything. Did he ever tell you how well we were doing on the road? We had everything: we ate good, we slept late, we had money to burn. Whisky, dames... Excuse me... I'll tell you what -- take her along.
Now and then. You know how it is.	You're, uh, you're Minnesota Fats, aren't you? You know, uh, they say Minnesota Fats is the best in the country out where I come from.
You're, uh, you're Minnesota Fats, aren't you? You know, uh, they say Minnesota Fats is the best in the country out where I come from.	Is that a fact?
Is that a fact?	Yes sir, boy, they, heh, they say that old Fats just shoots the eyes right off them balls.
Yes sir, boy, they, heh, they say that old Fats just shoots the eyes right off them balls.	Where do you come from?
Where do you come from?	California. Oakland.
California. Oakland.	California? Is your name Felson? Eddie Felson?

Because, you know, you seem so distant. And you work late every night. And we hardly ever have sex, and when we do, it's... I don't know. It feels different.

I'm just preoccupied.

Do you like my new look?

Yeah. It's nice. It's really good.

I'm trying, you know. I'm trying to be what you want. I want to be what you want, Nathan. All I want is to be what you want.

Shh. It's okay. It's okay, Lila. You're what I want. You know that. You're exactly what I want.

Really?

Sure. Of course.

Because I'm really trying, you know. Rosie says maybe only another two years of the elctrolysis.

That's great.

I've signed up for a ballet class. And look at my nails! A real girl!

Hey! I could come work for you! I know I haven't been all that supportive of this project, but I've come around.

Have you?

Oh yes, baby! I think that this is a wonderful project you're doing, taking this poor unfortunate, uncivilized creature and turning him into a human being! What a wonderful wonderful compassionate man you are!

Really?

Yes! And I want to help. You won't have to pay me, and I was thinking of giving up that crazy nature writing anyway.

How come?

Who needs it? I have you and I have being a woman and I have thinking about womanly things! I love being a woman because...

Such as what womanly things?

Such as my man and how to please him! Such as making wonderful dinners for my man! Such as looking pretty for my man! And I'm writing an article on quilting for the Ladies Home Journal!

I had sold my fucking soul.

I let her sell her soul. I stood by as she did it. It's inexcusable. At the time though I thought it might help.

Look at you two. You both disgust me.

Oook. Oook.

Shut up! I gave you... life. I created you in my image, Puff. I took you from this primordial ooze and brought you into the world of culture and art and manners. And this is how you repay me? By heading back to the ooze first chance you get? I should leave you here with Lila the ape woman. It would serve you right, you ungrateful piece of crap. But I'm not going to. You're too valuable to me. Totally selfish of me. You serve my purpose. But if you had any smarts you would realize that I serve your purpose as well. Life is so much more delightful when lived in a silk suit.

Ooka.

Don't worry, Lila. You can stay. I don't have any interest in you anymore. C'mon, monkey boy.

No.

So anyway, that's the nightmare I've been having lately.

Do you suppose it has anything to do with Lila's unusually hairy body?

No, why?

Well, it seems that since Lila broached the subject of children, you've been on edge and I know you have an issue with the, uh, body hair.

Oh, I see. Yes, that's something to think about. That's very good. That's what you get the big bucks, right? Ha ha.

I just think it might be important to explore your feelings for Lila.

You're a horse that finished last. So don't make trouble, Miss Ladybird. Live and let live. While you can.

Eddie, is it all right if I get personal?

Whaddya been so far?

Eddie, you're a born loser.

What's that supposed to mean?

First time in ten years I ever saw Minnesota Fats hooked, really hooked. But you let him off.

I told you. I got drunk.

Sure, you got drunk. That's the best excuse in the world for losing. No trouble losing when you got a good excuse. And winning! That can be heavy on your back too. Like a monkey.

It's one of the best indoor sports: feeling sorry for yourself -- a sport enjoyed by all, especially the born losers.

Wait a minute. Maybe I can help you.

To do what?

Get the three thousand. Play Minnesota Fats again.

Ten reasons. Maybe fifteen. And also there's something in it for me.

Oh yeah, I figured that. How much?

Seventy-five per cent.

For who?

For me.

That's a -- that's a pretty big slice. Who do you think you are, General Motors?

How much you think you're worth these days? I'm puttin' up the money, I'm puttin' up the time. For that I get seventy-five per cent return on my money -- if you win.

You ought to take up crap shooting. Talk about luck!

What are you trying to do, Eddie? You beat him. You beat him bad. You wanna kill yourself?

What are ya, chicken, Charlie?

Well, maybe that's it. I'm chicken.

Go on home. Just leave me the money.

Go to hell.

I want you to come back on the road with me.

Aah! I've got no stomach for that any more. I've had that kind of life.

What kind of life have you got here? Scufflin' around the small rooms, picking up eight, ten bucks a day?

I'll connect. I'll get you your money back.

Are you figuring on going back to Ames to play Minnesota Fats again? Is that what's on your mind?

Never been out of it. I'm gonna beat that fat man... with that curly hair, and those diamond rings, and that carnation.

This boy's crazy. They wiped the floor with him. They beat his brains out and he wants to go back. What for? To take another beating?

I told you you'd get your money back.

He thinks I care about the money. I care about you. Do you care about me, Eddie? We're together a long time, night and day. So how do you say goodbye? You gimme the car and a hundred bucks.
