The delivery of the line "You owe me fifteen grand, pal" is literally perfect. The twinkle in his eye with the smirk while he essentially says 'I know you cheated, but I cheated better, and you can't say a thing.'
Literally?
@@trenchant63 Idk if you're being pedantic but yes, literally was added to the dictionary to mean more than one thing,
Throughout the scene Newman plays the drunkard fool, slurring his speech. But when he delivers the line "You owe me ..." there is no hesitation. He is dead serious. His beat down stings Lonnegan so hard that Lonnegan must seek revenge, and so the big, long con begins. Lonnegan never knows that he has been hooked on the longest fishing line in the world and they are playing him right up to the glorious end
@@SSky06 Literally is literally no longer literal.
@@Clambelly beautifully put
"Sorry I'm late guys, I was taking a crap." Then he shakes everybody's hand.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
very subtle
It was a simpler time
I sure he used Depression era Purell before the game.

When i was a kid, my Dad took me to the drive in to see Jaws. We didn’t know it was a double feature, and The Sting was the first movie, and i was blown away. It’s still probably my favourite movie to this day. Thanks, Dad.
Is there any explanation on how he did it?
Hit me right in the feels bro.
Wow, what a double feature!
@@mish130 it's a movie not real life.
@@donut5143 Umm. Usually there is supposed to be at least a basic grounding in logic.
The last breath Newman takes before kicking the door open is priceless…a man pulling the character he’s about to play into his lungs before he goes all in.
This was tactical, he wanted the smell of gin to follow him into the room to sell the ruse that he was drunk.
@@timtaylorsmitheeeeeeexactly
Just a hint of what will unfold.
Look like a fool but stay a genius at the same time
After this thrashing, Lonegan became a fisherman in a little tropical paradise called Amity and befriended the local police chief.
"Farewell and adieu to you fare Spanish ladies..."
"Here's to swimmin' with bow legged women"
Did Quint ever get that bigger boat?
Nah, he hijacked a subway car for a million
hehe..epic comment..hey, he was one hell of an actor
This is an absolutely brilliant scene. Nobody can glower and menace by sheer acting power like Robert Shaw. Rest in Peace Mr. Shaw.
so the guy taking a burst at paul newman is robert shaw from the movie , shark , i knew i rekogniced him from somewere .
@@stigtuneback1966 Don't you mean "Jaws"
@@probatelaw sorry , thats the name , my misstake.
Tenth time I've seen this, and I particularly noticed his menace as he says "Four nines", knowing that while it' s not always a "winner", with what he thinks Newman's got, it is, and it's going to hurt Newman badly. With these high stakes, you'd normally put "four nines" out with some respect for your opponent's hand.
@@stigtuneback1966
The name's Jaws, d'ya follow?
The silence when he lays down the four Jacks, the distant train whistle then silence again is a touch of genius.
Because the sucker was Railroaded!
I know you meant well with your comment but that's your opinion, and when you make opinions at least give people the courtesy to state that is actually just YOUR opinion. not everyone would agree that the silence when he lays down the four jacks is genius. it's a respect thing, thanks.
shush @@donut5143
Editing.
@@donut5143 No it is objectively correct
This is what you call acting. Simply genius
70's had the best movies

Agree...
I am quite hungry for more
great actors for sure, but the writers gave them the material, brilliant all the way around
Paul Newman, Robert Shaw and Robert Redford-I mean, come on. Add to that, a great script, great directing, a great supporting cast and a spectacular soundtrack. One of the best films ever, no question.
70'S HAD SOME OF THE GREATEST MOVIES OF ALL TIME...
Absolutely. And one of the greatest scenes ever filmed!!!
Right on--BTW, Pome in Australia is Prisoner of Mother England. Any chance you live in OZ?
@@formerparatrooper I live in the States, my name is related to Pomeranians, lol
@@pommie5093 Thank you, I was just curious because it is something I rarely see and never hear in our part of the US. Have a good evening.
Wow Paul Newman and Robert Shaw in the same frame. It doesn't get much better than that.
Robert Shaw one of the greatest actors, those that do not know. He played Quint in Jaws! Paul Newman amount greatest actors of all time.
I would bet that with his good looks and blue eyes that no female would ever say NO!
It got better when Robert Redford & James Earl Jones' dad showed up...this movie won 7 Oscars including Best Picture
@@bobbyg9662 Shaw was also a villain facing off with James Bond, in "From Russia, with Love"
cool haND LKUKE WAS A GOOD GAME ALSO
@@bobbyg9662 Robert Shaw was a bad bastard in the second James Bond movie with Sean Connery, "From Russia With Love". Early 60s.
Shaw also was brilliant again with Connery in "Robin and Marion" - Shaw was the Sheriff of Nottingham. Audrey Hepburn was Marion; Richard Harris was King Richard
Easily the absolute best take on Robin Hood ever.
I love how menacing every word from Robert Shaw (Lonnegan) is during the game. The pacing of his speech when he says "your three...and raise...500" is so chilling. Even his tone towards the dealer is domineering. Between him and Paul Newman, the acting prowess in this scene is unparalleled
great actor
great point but it's called a string bet and is illegal. every movie does it but as a poker player it's just so friggin stupid.
Agree. Was well acted by all in this scene! Wouldnt want to cross Lonnegan on a bad day!
I dont know the rules of Poker but I wish I did. @@user-gx2yy1df6f
Robert Shaw's eyes at 2:21 could kill.
"Oh come on, Linnemen, I was just starting to do good!" Mispronounces his name for about the 6th time.
Always loved the fact that when he says "you come to a game like this you bring your money" and then shows the Lonergan his own money that they stole earlier.
Never ever trust a conman.
@@astat1 more like never CON a conman
That´s Lonnegan,, LONNEGAN you´ll remember that
Lol
@@nerifterafrnam4682 that got me. bravo 👏
I love Robert Shaw‘s facial expression during the last game. Dead serious, yet he can‘t hide his almost unnoticable smirk. What a fantastic actor, and what a shame that he left us so early.
Amazing actor. RIP
shark got him too early
(: Yes ... Very True ... and so sad that he is gone and so soon ... 😢
If it weren't for the dxmn cigarettes, maybe he would still be here!!!!!
The older I get, the more I appreciate his talent.
Amazing to think that he was younger than Paul Newman, who looks significantly younger than him. Just goes to show you what a life of heavy drinking and smoking will do to one's face
I can’t help but replay the scene over and over when he says “oh, come on, Linneman, I was just starting to do good!” The way he says it and the slow annoyed laugh by Robert Shaw, and his over the top laugh in response. Just always puts a smile on my face.
That short scene is better than most whole movies these days
😂 Love the entrance when Shaw apologizes for being late because
he was taking a crap and then shakes everyone's hand. Classic.
And then he wipes his nose on the borrowed tie....
It would’ve been hilarious if he said he was taking a shit
so you never washed your hands after taking a dump??
@@buzzerbeater6257 Censors would have banned it...
I love how everyone is close together and how personal it is. Really puts you in the room with them.
Yes, no social distancing or wearing of masks then.
The world would immediately be a better place if rude people, or people who make unnecessarily rude comments were to suddenly vanish off the face of it. That's for you, Martin.
Yeah, remember that.
@@digitalfates1179 Agreed, felt the tension
I wonder if the rooms were that claustrophobic
The 2 "Shaws" are great, but the bodyguard sitting at the back (I think it's Charles Dierkop) deserves some credit. His expressions are priceless.
Yep, his name was Charles Dierkop, who had a career in supporting roles. He played a back-up. undercover cop to Angie Dickinson on TV's Policewoman. He could and did do just about any role.
Quint
And still acting as of 2018...
@@marzzz1 Born on 9/11,
He was flatnose in butch cassidy and the sundance kid, also with Newman and red Ford.
One of the greatest scenes of all time.
I will never get tired of watching this over and over again, forever.
Like twice a month since...
"They wouldn't let you in here if you wasn't a chump!. Lombard'll be joining you in a couple of minutes" Brilliant.
Robert Shaw, as an actor, must have had everyone else in that room in awe of him. He's just such a presence in any film he's done.
Who mr linnamin ? 😂
Truly! Wonderful insight, thank you :)
@Journey into Darkness It was heart attack.
Focussed menace and charisma by the truckload- a class act. Newman and Redford were no slouches in this department either. Great film.
@@adamhawkins6770 real treat to see it in a higher res
the fact he shows him his money that he stole earlier screaming at him "in this kind of games you bring your own money" is just priceless cherry on top
The Look Lonegan gives to the dealer after Newman comes in is hilarious 😂
"What was I supposed to do -- call him for cheating better than me in front of the others?!"
yeah, wish the rest of the scene would show that. I thought it did originally but maybe was another post
I don’t know how this clip ended up in my recommendations but I am glad it did.
Same thing with me
Same here. Paul Newman at his best.
@alightofgodenterprise
@@Diwana71 same...the Google algorithm has four Jacks to my four 9's.
8:42 The train whistle when Newman lays down his hand is perfection.
I love the real actor Mr Shaw talking to the actor pretending to be someone who's pretending to be named Mr Shaw
Robert Shaw
I watched this movie the day it was released in the UK. The entire audience gasped and then applauded the final scene. No wonder it swept the Oscar's.
The filmmakers did a great job of conning the audience. Fantastic.
It was so effective that the "sting" was burned into my brain, and I never watched the movie again because I knew the ending. There are many movies I've seen where I couldn't even remember if I'd seen it, let alone remember the ending for 45 years.
@@stephenhosking7384 I actually saw the film for the first time AFTER being told all the spoilers. Still loved every second of it, and I've seen it at least 2 dozen times. Still love it today.
Robert Shaw acts with his eyes so well. You can read his intensity and focus with it so well throughout the scene.
Always preferred his brother, he was in a lot of kung fu movies, Rick.
@@Wildirishgerry he certainly was a persistent presence, particularly in Asian fare !!!
Agreed. Robert Shaw was a legendary actor of the old school.
@@Wildirishgerry yes! He carried a lot of actors, especially new ones, back in the day. A lot of them said they wouldn't be where they were if it wasn't for Rick! Man of great strength and character, with impeccable delivery to boot. Pretty sure he knew he was going somewhere even from an early age. Too bad he had to move on.
He's also the only guy who beat Bruce Lee in a fight, rolled right over him.
‘Longbar will be joining you in a coupla minutes’ what a violation 😂😭
I think it was Lombard? A dig because the Lombards are an aristocratic / noble family, i.e. toffs, and Lonigan's Irish. (Don't quote me on that).
The fact he shows him his own stolen wallet is just brilliant! Timeless movie
its not , since you can clearly them see giving back the wallet empty to pickpocket girl in the movie earlier on
and why risk getting caught ?
He does say, "When you come to a game, you bring YOUR money" LOL
Not the stolen wallet, just the cash that was in it !!!
Apologies.. Just looking back that's what I meanto say :D
@@ECVanPuz
Swing and a miss. They take the money and return the wallet
Back when movies were so good that you could watch them 48yrs later and still say "That's a cool movie " glad I grew up in the 70s with gems like The Sting.
You ain't lying. Glad I grew up in the times that I did.
I saw it as a kid in the 80s. I knew it was a special movie then, without knowing it's history or Oscar wins or anything. Awesome movie.
I'm sure if it were made exactly the same way today someone would be on TH-cam bitching about it.
@@davidnelson7719 Just someone? Man, there'd be a whole gaggle of dummies screaming and crying about who knows what.
Most teens in the 70's had The Sting album....well, at least those of us with pianos did.
That train whistle in background when he lays down the jacks is brilliant ... just adds to the climax! Genius!
YES !
That sound was actually Lonigan's head about ready to pop off his shoulders when he saw those jacks
yes, with the absence of music in much of the music, that train whistle takes the place of music, perfectly punctuating the moment. BTW if anybody doesn't know it, music very rarely underscores scenes in the entire movie. When there is music, it's almost always in a sequence devoid of dialog, like early on when Redford gets his hair cut, gets his hotel room, then the gang all assemble. That's when music really takes center stage. One of the best sequences in film and one of the best uses of music in a movie.
Also the delayed reveal of the Jacks, and the camera zoom in on them. The first time I saw it, it was brilliant.
Yea. A real Wellesian maneuver.
Robert Shaw just might have been the only person on earth who could have answered the question, "What's worse, getting beaten by a card shark, or eaten by a large shark?"
I always love the line "...and what?! Accuse him of being a better cheat?!"
Paul Newman was one of a kind. One of the greatest screen presences in film history. He elevates every film
He's my favorite actor. Should've had a mantel full of Oscars instead of just one.
Agree.
cool hand luke is his best , well maybe butch Cassidy , hombre was good but kinda like he was to scared to act but that was his character then, anyway great actor , i would put him second after john wayne and followed by clint eastwood
The best of the modern era.
@@matthewche Agree. I like how he he appeared with Robert Redford who later appeared in a movie with Brad Pitt who also has a great screen presence. It’s almost like energy is being passed through the generations. Same with Hanks & Newman but would’ve loved to see Newman, Redford & Pitt or Hanks all together in the same movie.
It's in the next scene 'What was I supposed to say? He cheats better than us?' What a great movie
Floyd: I KNOW I gave him four threes! He had to make a switch! We can't let him get away with it...
Lonnegan: What was I supposed to do, call him for cheating better than me in front of the others!?
I never get tired of watching this scene! The expression on Robert Shaw's face can't be directed. One of the best movies ever!!!
8:43 the way they timed the train releasing steam with the metaphorical steam coming out of Lonegan's ears
I know how I'm stumbling Into my next Zoom Meeting, with a bottle of Gin shouting "Sorry I'm late I was taking a crap!" 😆😆
💩😂😂😂
This is a funny scene, especially when he keeps messing up Robert Shaws name !
LMAO!
@@pattyoneill6724 Lonneman and Lombard isn't it 😊
Mike Owen ,so funny isn't it. Lonnerman, than sneezes on the cards ! You are right, he calls him Lombard ! My late husband and I loved how Robert Shaw said Tempers are running a little HIGH ! He was an Owen, and you have his name as a last name !
Love the sparkle in Newman's eyes when he utters, "You owe me fifteen grand, pal."
English is not my first language. What does it mean? He was just looking at him when he said it.
@@JudahMaccabee_True, but it's HOW he looks at him, and HOW he delivers the line. It's a great performance.
@@JudahMaccabee_ Just to be clear on what is happening: Gondorff (Newman) deliberately makes Lonnegan (Shaw) so angry that he cheats at cards, just to take him down a peg. Gondorff swaps in his own cards, knowing that Lonnegan will know that he's cheating but be unable to complain without admitting that he was cheating too.
When Newman says, "Four jacks," that just tells Lonnegan that his plan has been derailed. When Newman says, "You owe me fifteen grand, pal," the subtext is: 'you thought you were going to make a chump out of me, but you're the chump.'
P.S. For me, the reaction of the henchman really helps sell this scene: how Shaw's character is enraged and very dangerous. I had to look him up. Charles Dierkop.
@@JudahMaccabee_ owes $15,000.
Man, what a scene. This is better than any full-length movie that's been made in the last 10 years.

What makes the scene so good is that there is no music. Just great direction and acting. Wonderful!
What's hilarious is that they knew he cheated, but they couldn't call him out without admitting that they had cheated.
How does Doyle lonnegan owe 15,000 when the pot has 30,000
@@philp3573 because the other 15k is from Shaw. SHaw's winning the pot which includes 15k of his money and 15k of Lonnegan's. In order to be even on the hand Lonnegan owes him 15k.
Kind of. Lonnegain switched the deck on the check, and I assume Shaw switched his cards on the cigarette lighting as they don't really show is, so if Lonnegain wanted to call him out, they could have checked the deck and seen the extra Jacks. The only they they'd have found his cheating would be to physically search him for the original deck. Still a great scene regardless.
@@VESCreativeServices Yes, but the only reason they knew he cheated is because they tried to cheat. Otherwise, they wouldn't have had a clue what cards he was supposed to have.
@@Durwood71 Perhaps- but Lonnegan still had the advantage. He could have accused Shaw of cheating and easily proved it, and Shaw would have no way to prove it back. But I guess when it's set up as a "gentlemans game" in the beginning, it seems beyond what would be respectable at the table. And also how he looks at the other players after the showdown, perhaps that could have been taking him as evaluating that option.
4:28 - "tempers seem to be running a little...high."
Said the most hot headed of the group.
He's going down.
4:43 Robert Shaw's laughing perfectly exhibits just how pissed he is. Love it. Like most of you - excellent scene and one of my favorite dramas of all time. Everything from the story to the music and the cast was perfect. Even the details like the sound of the shoes was just spot on.
Interesting different meanings there are; pissed in the UK means drunk. In Scotland it is ‘phished’.
@@petersyme7083pissed in the US can also mean drunk. Or angry.
The acting performances are fantastic all around the table. The dramatic lighting, smoke, train track sounds & doppler shifted railroad crossing bells put the finishing touches on this classic scene.
The doppler with the bells was a nice touch.
"You owe me fifteen grand pal!" - Love it

Man look at the acting here compared to modern day acting in Hollywood. Incredible stuff
The weak link in this movie is Robert Redford. He was not believable as a street grifter--he was in this movie for one reason: they were trying to cash in on the success of Butch Cassidy. The Sting is great in spite of RR, not because of him.
The look on Paul Newman’s face when he lays down his jacks is priceless!

One of the best scenes ever. He shows him his own wallet with his own money at the end. Classic
Great scene from a great movie.
The movie had the entire audiences fooled until the last scene that's why it won best picture
I didn’t even realize that. That’s sick. This was genius.
@4 August 2020 He had someone steal his wallet earlier and when he says “I must have left my wallet in the other car.” He says “ You come to a game like this you bring your money!” and he takes out the guy’s wallet and shows him HIS money
I rewatched the movie yesterday with my friend, it’s not lonnogan’s (or however you spell it) wallet only his money. They give the red skinned wallet back after
Easily one of the best movies of the 70's
Still one of the best movies even now
Of all time.
Still can't believe this film was written by a 20-something year old David S Ward. This kind of writing takes years to master. He must have had help
I first saw this movie when I was stationed in Germany. The Sting in German.
Right behind Star Wars and Jaws...
9:15 I had heard the term "take a powder" in the sopranos and thought it was an uncommon term but I think it is just old fashioned. Makes me appreciate this scene even more.

@@villagemagician1320 watch Jaws.
Soon as they went back to Robert Shaw's cabin his man swears up and down that he fixed the deck correctly, with 3's and 9's.

Masterful direction, George Roy Hill.
Me and my shipmates were wandering around New Orleans looking for a cinema showing a new movie called "Billy Jack" - we couldn't find it - but there was this film nobody ever heard of called "The Sting" and it had that Newman feller in it - best movie I'd seen in years.
Billy Jack was good too, though.
'One tin soldier rides away...'
One of my mother's favorite movies, I grew up hearing that soundtrack.
Cool story boomer
Nobody wanders around New Orleans today unless you have a death wish.
@@JohnSmith-mk1rj I enjoyed Billy Jack too, what got me interested in karate, also being mugged outside of my High School after practice didn't hurt either.
@@55Quirll it's a classic.
And the theme song for the movie, the whole 'One Tin Soldier' song is crazy epic.
There were a couple sequels, too, I believe. Billy Jack might be one of the earliest action movie franchises ever, in retrospect.
Billy Jack is legend.
This is one of the most rewatchable films in history. The second time you watch it it's a whole different film because you're in on the Sting this time and you see the characters in a whole new way.
One of the few movies that’s probably better the second time..for the very reason you mention.
Yes. I consider it one of my “remote dropper” movies. If I’m channel surfing and I come across it, I drop the remote and start watching it…again. I must be into the 30s on how many times I’ve watched it. I think it took me at least 5 times before I understood who the hit “man” after Hooker was.
@@brokeeper2007 it's a panty dropper for sure

Flat nose did it
I love the silence of this scene- no music, creaking chairs, bated breath. Done so well.
It's all anticipation. Hollywood doesn't know how to make films like this now.
The train whistle in the background when he lays down the winning hand. So good.
"Aww c'mon Linnemann I was just starting to do good" (knowing full well his name was Lonneghan) cracks me up every time!
he calls him a different "L" name each time lol
@James Campbell it’s actually Liniment LOL
part of the brillance of the con man building up more ways to irritate his prey.
Gets me every time
Also love the poor grammar of the line to emphasize that he's uncouth.
"If you don't have a tie, we can get you one."
"That's very nice of you, Liniment."
0:54 Bursts in, "Sorry I'm late guys, I was taking a crap." Love Paul Newman!
Should've included Shaw's best line: "What was I supposed to do--call him for cheatin' better than me?"
@GRT Kiddo and wasn't going to take it any more
This one clip alone made me watch the entire film. I can confirm that it is excellent. Shaw, Newman and Redford are top drawer in this thrilling and unpredictable classic.
"unpredictable"
Oh, yeah!
"In other news today, water still found to be wet."
You’ve got a good eye. If by chance you haven’t caught Jeremiah Johnson, got watch any clip...then the whole movie. ; )
Me too. It was before my time. Saw this clip on youtube (different channel) end of last year and ended up watching the movie afterwards. Great movie.
This film won the Oscar for best picture 1974, but I’ve been waiting for Simon Lloyds review before watching it
A perfect movie in every way; it even started a craze for Scott Joplin music, which most people had never before heard.
One of the best things about this scene is that Newman's character calls himself "Shaw," which was the name of actor Robert Shaw, Newman's opponent. Just one more trick in a movie filled with tricks and misdirection.
This is my favorite movie scene of all time. Every little detail was so great... the play of the hand, the dialogue, even the facial expressions and reactions are phenomenal when you consider everyone in the scene knows the actual result of the hand before it happens.
The actual game play was inaccurate. You can't call and raise. You announce raise, not 'I call your thousand, and I raise' In a casino that would be a straight-up call, and you'd be unable to raise.
@@zaragozakid310 you must have learned poker in the internet age. It was common before the televised era of poker for people to say call and raise, or say "I'll see your bet and raise you"
Not everyone. I think the 3 people who know would be the guy in the hat, Lonegan (however you spell it), and perhaps the 3rd player at the table. The point is Lonengan could only possibly know that shaw was cheating if he himself was cheating. Him getting caught in the act in front of all those people, including the house.... he couldnt do it.
One of my favorite all time films. I’m not ashamed to admit I was conned. Fell for the whole con game. I didn’t have a clue. It was fantastic. Newman and Redford. Can’t duplicate. Great chemistry.
Same here!
Likewise.
The first time, pretty sure everyone falls for the con. But it's such a great movie that it's just as enjoyable to re-watch even when you know what's coming.
I just watched it for the first time and didn't see any of the two big twists at the end coming a mile away.
I think almost everyone fell for the con the first time they saw it. Maybe a few geniuses got it, but a very few.
Paul Newman once said that this was his favorite scene of all the movies that he did
Slap Shot.
Definitely in my top 5 movie scenes. I probably watch it every few months, never gets old.
Obviously he is not a poker player. The rules in this game are absurd.
@@JiveDadson These were the rules during that time. The game has evolved since then.
@@brucef310 Donegan specifically said "table stakes" when he described the rules at the start. Besides, it would be ridiculous to allow a player to decide during a hand how much he wanted to have in play.
Now that's what I call a classic scene in a classic movie. Paul Newman was as smooth as silk and one of the all time best actors. The Hustler is another classic. Jackie Gleason and Paul Newman. That's Entertainment!!!
Without the shadow of a doubt one of the Best ever movies produced in Hollywood, with an unbeatable cast of actors not only the first roles. Academy members were nuts not to award Paul Newman with an Oscar, it is still a shame after fifty years!!! 🤩
"WHAT was I SUPPOSED to do? Accuse him of being a Better Cheat Then ME?!!!"
A+ Casting; Just Legendary!
Nope.
You falla, and Tempers are running a little high are classic !
The white haired gentleman sitting to Newman's left was Byron Morrow (1911-2006) one of the great character actors of our time. His face is well known but not his name having earned over 230 film credits, playing parts of judges, police chiefs or other professional types.
Thankyou
Robert Shaw does an absolutely amazing slow burn buildup in this poker game sequence!!!! One of my favorite actors of all time!!!! 👏👏👏👏
We will never see the likes of this level of acting and well written film ever again
Robert Shaws reactions in this are genius. He doesn't get enough kudos, this film is a trifecta and without someone of his prowess, it doesn't work.
This and “The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3,” is another brilliant job of acting by Robert Shaw as the villain.
@@glennk1931 Classic,remake is horrendous 🤣
@@glennk1931 only sat down to watch it properly recently, fantastic. Walther Matteau is another titan. Great film, can't beat the 70's for film
A real card SHARK
Robert Redford, Paul Newman, Robert Shaw, Charles Durning, and James Earl Jones, what a great cast !
Love how he shows him his own money! Brilliant.
Classic Newman --
The entire movie is brilliant
The continuation of the scene back in his cabin, Shaw says, "What am I supposed to say? That he cheated better than me?"
MAKE THAT HIS STOLEN MONEY
@@johnwilson4158 yeah as I recall he already lifted lanamums wallet.
"Sorry I'm late guys, I was taking a crap."
I'll have to remember that line next time I'm in a zoom conference and joining late!
One of the greatest films ever made. The entire cast is superb.
*Gondorff:* Hey, that'd be real nice of you, Mr. Lonniman.
*Lonnegan:* _Lonnegan._
*Gondorff:* (burps)
😆
The belch absolutely kills me, every time.
It was perfect & my bet is Newman improvised that moment.
If Doyle Lonnigan says the table requires a tie..... You wear that tie or face his wrath
Lonnegan: Four nines.
Gondorff: Four jacks.
Train: Whoooo-ooo
I never noticed that!
The weird funny giggle/laugh after walking out of the cabin and then within an instant dead serious, gets me every time.
"You won't be able to get a game of Jacks!" Classic!
