Once and for all, and trust me, I'm an experienced pool player, whose brother is a 2-time US Open winner, and a world renown hustler.. The "lose some weight" line has nothing to do with handicapping, or "giving a spot".. He's simply needling his opponent, or basically, talking shit.. It's the funniest line in the movie, and you guys are missing it trying to read something in there that isn't there..

When I lose, I pay.

@Smackdaddy9 -great...palms for Richard Price, author of the screenplay.
-
@ttlms No, it isn't 'weight' is literally the skill a pool hustler shows to his opponent. Same as 'speed'
-
@Gggmanlives If you care, read a book called 'Between the Rails' it's about pool hustling. It's a pretty tough way to make money IMO.
-
@ttlms -good call...
-
@ga7001 The reference to Amos's weight is an allusion to Eddie's first match with Minnesota Fats in The Hustler.
-
Great scence also the audience is supposed to catch on that whitaker is a hustler since he is so excited and the way he talks and moves
-
yes he needs to lose weight and yes hes a hustler..

@EMILIOMARENGO Fast Eddie should of changed the game to 8 ball, if you remember Eddie saying "in 9 ball the balls fall funny sometimes"

This always confused me. He IS a hustler right, he's just got his act down so perfect, right??
someone clarify for me

@Gggmanlives _yeah, that's right...the hustler gets to be the hustled...goes to show you can't lower your guard, had one too many drinks and black unassuming guy talks him into distraction...and Fast Eddie goes down. Fast Eddie hasn't been in competition for ages...he has to go through this hard blow. It's in the last scene when he says -I'm back!
That's how i see it within the context of the film. I love the scene -what a script!
Cheerio...
