He's losing at Billiards in the basement, and Bert is done backing him. But when Sarah arrives to tell him not to play anymore, Eddie reacts angrily and sends her away. Then Bert says play him (Findley) for $1,000. Eddie wins $12,000, but feels lousy and walks back to the hotel alone.
But at that point, are these following suggestions correct?
1-Bert believes that Eddie is through with Sarah, and will now win against Finley. True?
2-Eddie wants Sarah to stop bugging him about hustling pool, but doesn't want to dump her, or at least isn't sure. True?
3-Sarah mistakenly believes Eddie has dumped her when he tells her get off his back. True?
4-Eddie wants to walk back to the hotel not to dump Sarah (as Bert advises), but to think things over AND to not be in Bert's company any more than needed. True?
5-Bert slept with Sarah, or seems to have, because it's more control and victory dance. True?
6-Sarah slept with Bert, or seems to have, to punish Bert, or because her self-esteem is shattered, or to save Eddie from Bert. True?
