Got a timely heads up yesterday about a rerun of a Twilight Zone classic, "A Game of Pool." Just finished watching it. Aside from the typical flaws in table layout editing, there were some great lines like the title of this thread referring to a pool room.
All of the classic lines are from a dead champion Fats Brown (Jonathan Winters) to a live wannabee champion (Jack Klugman):
The challenge-"You like to play with fire but you don't know how to cook." "A legend doesn't die just because the man does."
The game-"Pool is geometry in its most challenging form. A science of precise angles and forces."
The sharking- "It hurts me, yeah, to see you rotting your life away in this miserable dark hall." (While Klugman in on the final game ball, Fats drops his cue on purpose causing a miscue and says), "just a little gamesmanship."
Great stuff!
