PAUL NEWMAN: I did some research. There was a pool hall on 47th Street, upstairs on the second floor. So the first day I got back, I went up there just to sniff around, and this kid came over and said, "How would you like to shoot a little pool?"
I said, "No, I don't shoot."
And he came back in about 15 minutes, and he said, "Come on. Play a little game. You don't have to play for a lot. Heck, shoot a little game of pool."
I said, "No, I really don't shoot."
He came back to me about 20 minutes later and said, "You're an actor, aren't you?"
And I said, "Yeah."
He said, "Yeah. I seen you."
I said, "But let me ask you a question. You don't know me. What happens if I'm hustling you and I take you for your wad?"
He said, "Well, if you take me for my wad, the guy beyond the counter there, he'll come over and play you."
I said, "Well, but what if I beat him?"
He says, "The guy that takes the coats, he'll come over and play you."
I said, "Well, what if I beat him?"
He says, "You beat him, we call Chicago." :grin-square:
