Vinnie:
He didn't teach you how to win, he taught you how not to lose. That's nothing to be proud of. You're playing not to lose, Josh. You've got to risk losing. You've got to risk everything. You've got to go to the edge of defeat. That's where you want to be, boy - on the edge of defeat. Josh Waitzkin:
But... Vinnie:
But what? Play. Never play the board, always the man. You've gotta play the man *playing* the board. Play *me*. I'm your opponent, you have to beat *me*. Not the board, beat *me*

oh I don't know
00:00:02.044 --> 00:00:03.388
um cards
00:00:03.464 --> 00:00:04.358
pinochle
00:00:04.424 --> 00:00:05.318
Pinochle
00:00:05.384 --> 00:00:06.278
For instance
00:00:06.344 --> 00:00:07.238
Pinochle
00:00:07.304 --> 00:00:08.198
Fred
00:00:09.096 --> 00:00:11.389
Fred Bonnie
00:00:11.464 --> 00:00:12.991
She's comparing chess to pinochle
00:00:13.064 --> 00:00:15.398
What am I supposed to say to that
00:00:15.464 --> 00:00:17.318
She's trying to make a point
00:00:17.384 --> 00:00:18.758
Maybe we should listen
00:00:18.824 --> 00:00:21.089
Vinnie thinks he's spending too much time at it too
00:00:21.096 --> 00:00:24.262
Vinnie Vinnie's a drug addict
00:00:24.328 --> 00:00:26.783
I'm supposed to listen to his opinion too
00:00:27.848 --> 00:00:29.374
I'm sorry but your analogy
00:00:29.448 --> 00:00:30.975
is a very bad one
00:00:31.998 --> 00:00:33.503
If you want to make a comparison to something
00:00:33.576 --> 00:00:34.852
have it make sense
