Yesterday I was watching "The Color of Money" starring a young Tom Cruise and a not-so-young Paul Newman. This film is sort of a sequel to Newman's earlier film "The Hustler." Both films are about young hotshot pool (billiards) players.
Anyway, in the film Newman's character (Fast Eddie) presents Cruise's character (Vince) with an expensive pool cue stick, but when they go to try to win some money, Fast Eddie tells Vince to leave the expensive cue in the car, otherwise it will be a dead giveaway that he's an advanced player. I could just about hear Ernest T. Bass saying, "YOU are welcome in there, but you leave your stick outside." I wonder if the All Souls Church of Mayberry ever put a pool table in the basement, as Elmo suggested?
