He was a wonderful actor and a great humanitarian. He will be greatly missed. I always loved his his role in "Cool hand Luke", among countless others. RIP.

"Think ya used enough dynamite there, Butch?
I often wonder when a person quits doing something he really loves to do and dies not long after, he sure loved car racing but quit it not to long ago.

R.I.P. Paul....
Fast Eddie: Boy, you better, you tell your boys they better kill me, Bert. They better go all the way with me, 'cause if they just bust me up, I'll put all those pieces back together again, then so help me... So help me God, Bert, I'm gonna come back here and I'm gonna kill you. -------------------------------------------------- Bert Gordon: Eddie, is it alright if I get personal? Fast Eddie: Whaddaya been so far? Bert Gordon: Eddie, you're a born loser. Fast Eddie: What's that supposed to mean? Bert Gordon: First time in ten years I ever saw Minnesota Fats hooked... really hooked. But you let him off. Fast Eddie: I told you I got drunk. Bert Gordon: Sure you got drunk. You have the best excuse in the world for losing; no trouble losing when you got a good excuse. Winning... that can be heavy on your back, too, like a monkey. You'll drop that load too when you got an excuse. All you gotta do is learn to feel sorry for yourself. One of the best indoor sports, feeling sorry for yourself. A sport enjoyed by all, especially the born losers. Fast Eddie: Thanks for the drink.

I just watched that again only a few weeks ago, when I still was not getting around very good.

I wanted to quote a different part of the movie but couldn't find it... it was at the end when he's telling Bert that Bert is dead inside and about character etc... that was the best lines in the movie from Paul... I always wanted the poster of Jackie Gleason taking a shot on the pool table from that movie... To me thats the classic picture from the movie but Paul's lines were the classic lines... another movie he was great in but was underrated was The Verdict...
