After Dad had taken him for about eighty bucks, Robbie started muttering angirly to himself. He snapped down the cue chalk setting up a puff of blue powder, and missed the final shot. He flung his cue on the table and announced he had enough, then he sat down next to me. His eyes wear blearly. He kept saying he couldnt believe that old fart had beat him out of eighty bucks, as if he couldn't decide whether he was pissed off or impressed. Then he told me he lived in an apartment over the bar. He had a Roy Acuff record that wasn't on the juke box, and he wanted us to go upstairs and listen to it. If all he wanted to do was dance some more and maybe kiss a little, I could handle that. But I had the feeling he thought he was entitled to something in return for loosing so much money. Im not sure, I said. Aw, come on, he said and shouted at Dad. im going to take your girl upstairs.  Sure dad said just dont do anything I wouldnt do he pointed his pool cue at me.
