00:01:16This is Walter Winchell speaking to you from Broadway.
00:01:18The big street in the big town.
00:01:20Take a good look at it.
00:01:24Just a lot of cold, impersonal buildings,
00:01:26hustling impersonal crowds,
00:01:28and flashing impersonal lights.
00:01:30But watch those lights.
00:01:32Every time one flashes on or off,
00:01:34somebody makes a million dollars,
00:01:35or loses a million dollars,
00:01:37or begs for a dime,
00:01:39or breaks his heart.
00:01:41Sure, just a big street in the big town,
00:01:44but with a personality, with an impact,
00:01:46like a beautiful woman you see once for a few seconds
00:01:49and then can never forget.
00:01:51That's the way Damon Runyon felt about the street.
00:01:54Lindy's restaurant was his observation tower.
00:01:56Here he used to meet with his colorful crew of friends.
00:01:58He made small talk with celebrities
00:02:00and big talk with busboys.
00:02:01And he sat drinking coffee
00:02:03and trading stories far into the night.
00:02:06And then, when the morning fog
00:02:08would start to roll in across the East River,
00:02:10the city would awaken.
00:02:12The sun and the early rises would start
00:02:14to whip up a fresh batch of daylight.
00:02:17And as the rest of the town
00:02:18turned out to pound pavements,
00:02:20Damon Runyon turned in to pound his typewriter,
00:02:23to write about the guys and dolls he met on Broadway.
00:02:26Like Harry the Horse, Dancing Dan,
00:02:29Apple Annie, or for instance,
00:02:31take the Broadway bookie
00:02:33who made his living accepting bets on horse races.
00:02:38Hey, that's my penny!
00:02:41Identify it.
00:02:43It's got a picture of Abraham Lincoln.
00:02:48You kids with college educations.
00:02:52This is Sorrowful Jones,
00:02:54who fell in love with money at the age of six,
00:02:56and they've been going steady ever since.
00:03:00Hiya, Blinky.
00:03:01Hiya, Sorrowful.
00:03:03Who do you like today?
00:03:05Dreamy Joe and the second, a Dillington.
00:03:08Here, two bucks to win.
00:03:11You got it.
00:03:13A pencil, Sorrowful,
00:03:15a pencil, Sorrowful.
00:03:16It ain't for free.
00:03:18You've been eating carrots again.
00:03:34Hi, men.
00:03:35Hello, Sorrowful.
00:03:36Who do you like today?
00:03:38Hey, Porky.
00:03:39Who do you like today?
00:03:40Seven to five.
00:03:41Ten to one.
00:03:43Five dollars, Dreamy Joe, win.
00:03:46Dreamy Joe.
00:03:48You got it.
00:03:50Next time, put a little starch in these, will you?
00:03:56Which means weather clear, track fast.
00:03:59I'll be back.
00:04:04Hello, Sorrowful.
00:04:05What goes today, Happy?
00:04:07I kind of like sudden death in the last race.
00:04:10Aren't you, Beth?
00:04:11But I'll bet two on Dreamy Joe to win.
00:04:14Two on Dreamy Joe.
00:04:15Everybody wants Dreamy Joe.
00:04:16Must be a hot tip.
00:04:18I'll be seeing you.
00:04:20What am I saying?
00:04:28Anything hot today, Nick?
00:04:30I got a fin riding on Dreamy Joe.
00:04:32A fin?
00:04:34Who'd you roll?
00:04:38Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm.
00:04:45Hey, get these things sharpened.
00:04:47They're ruining all my shirt.
00:04:53When Sorrowful Jones enters this doorway, he enters another world.
00:04:57A world of wise money and dumb animals.
00:04:59Where your bankroll can go faster than any horse in any race.
00:05:04This is Sorrowful's place of business.
00:05:06It's called a horse room.
00:05:08And if the police knew about it, they'd close it.
00:05:10Because betting on horses is against the law.
00:05:13Except at racetracks.
00:05:15Where you been?
00:05:16Out picking up a load of the green stuff.
00:05:18What a beautiful color.
00:05:19126 bucks and almost all of it on a dog who'd make better time if the jockey carried him.
00:05:24Such as?
00:05:25Such as Dreamy Joe in the second.
00:05:27Boss, the second race is over.
00:05:29Dreamy Joe won.
00:05:31How do you feel?
00:05:32Well, I had a headache when I got up this morning.
00:05:34Just picking up all this easy dough.
00:05:38Don't tell me.
00:05:43My headache's back.
00:05:45Dreamy Joe.
00:05:4920, 40, 55.
00:05:53Wouldn't you like to bet it all on the next race?
00:05:55Come on, come on, shell out.
00:05:57The kind of money that'll never bring any happiness.
00:05:59Me either.
00:06:02Hey, Sal.
00:06:04Hey, don't bother him. He spits, he give him blood.
00:06:07I'll bother him.
00:06:09Big Steve would like you should come over to his cafe.
00:06:13Right away.
00:06:14Pay up.
00:06:15Hey, doesn't Big Steve own Dreamy Joe?
00:06:18On which I have $10 riding with you at 11 to 1.
00:06:22What'd he do, tip everybody in the street except me?
00:06:25When Big Steve wants to see it, it's very healthy to pay him a call.
00:06:31How do you like that Big Steve and his Dreamy Joe?
00:06:34Takes me over like I was a sucker, a tourist.
00:06:37He knew Dreamy Joe was gonna win.
00:06:39It was a boat race, a big frame.
00:06:41He ought to bar guys like that from racing.
00:06:43And now he wants to see me.
00:06:45Well, if he wants to see me, let him come over here.
00:06:48I'm not afraid of him.
00:06:52You're so right.
00:07:00Come on.
00:07:31You better date the dummy, Sorafo. She doesn't have to eat.
00:07:34Why not?
00:07:36Well, it doesn't cost a cent to say hello.
00:07:38Hello, Gladys O'Neil.
00:07:40You know, it's been almost four years since I saw you, Sorafo.
00:07:43But I recognize the suit.
00:07:47Well, it's been lucky for me, up to now.
00:07:50Some people seem to forget what some people used to spend on some people.
00:07:54Spend? Where did you ever learn that word?
00:07:57I always figured you invented the Dutch treat.
00:08:00Now, wait a minute.
00:08:02I'd like to have a nickel for every bottle of champagne I bought you.
00:08:05I was more naive then.
00:08:07I believed you could make champagne by mixing ginger ale and rubbing alcohol.
00:08:11It was not rubbing alcohol.
00:08:13Look at those beautiful violets.
00:08:16Twenty-five cents a bunch to you, mister.
00:08:18Come on.
00:08:20They've got dangerous thorns.
00:08:22Well, same old Sorafo.
00:08:24Now, you got me wrong. I'm a big man now.
00:08:26Since we folded in the Gatys, I've been going places in show business.
00:08:29I hear it's win-place in show business.
00:08:31So, I'm hustling bits.
00:08:33It's a living, practically honest.
00:08:35Well, I have to make a living, too, and this is it.
00:08:38Hey.
00:08:40Nice picture.
00:08:42Beautiful job of retouching.
00:08:45I've been here four months.
00:08:47I wondered why you didn't drop by.
00:08:49Just for old times' sake.
00:08:51Well, I understood you were going with Big Steve, and I happen to know Big Steve.
00:08:55Oh.
00:08:57Well, Steve doesn't like me to have other boyfriends, but I could tell him you were my aunt.
00:09:02Looky here. Looky here.
00:09:06Hey.
00:09:09Well, fun is fun, but Big Steve can get awful nasty.
00:09:12Yeah, well, while I'm here, I thought I'd drop in and see him.
00:09:14You don't think I'm afraid of Big Steve, do you?
00:09:16Well, some people are.
00:09:18Not me, kid. I can handle my fist.
00:09:20Yes, I remember.
00:09:21While you were handling your fist, somebody else was handling your head.
00:09:25But you've never heard my courage question.
00:09:27I never heard it mentioned.
00:09:29Keep your baby blues on me. I'm a buzzsaw.
00:09:37Big Steve in there.
00:09:39Come on.
00:09:44Hiya, fellas.
00:09:46Hiya, fellas. Don't get up.
00:09:48Sit down.
00:09:50Well, every bookmaker in town is here except Whitey.
00:09:54By the way, Steve, whatever happened to Whitey?
00:09:56I haven't seen Whitey since the two of you had the run-in in back of...
00:10:02Anybody taking up a collection for Mrs. Whitey?
00:10:04Sit down.
00:10:06Okay, Steve, we're all here.
00:10:08What's on your mind?
00:10:10I told a few small fry about Dreamy Joe today.
00:10:13Guess you guys went for a bundle on him, huh?
00:10:15Fun load. I was scarred.
00:10:17Next week, I'm giving the word to some important money.
00:10:20What are you trying to do, run us out of town?
00:10:22Just a minute. Let me finish.
00:10:24Next time he runs, Dreamy Joe's gonna lose.
00:10:26That's different.
00:10:28But I want a thousand bucks apiece from you guys...
00:10:31just for making him lose.
00:10:33A thousand bucks? What do you need money for?
00:10:35Ran into some bad dice last night. Need cash.
00:10:38Anyhow, what are you bellyaching about?
00:10:40I pick up a few grand, you guys make a fortune.
00:10:43Now, wait a minute, Steve.
00:10:45How do we know you won't collect a grand from each of us...
00:10:47and then turn right around and...
00:10:49And what, Sorrowful?
00:10:51Yeah, and what, Sorrowful?
00:10:54Well, you turn around and...
00:10:56and around and...
00:10:58fella can get dizzy that way.
00:11:03You know, Sorrowful, you're a very suspicious man.
00:11:06Hey, Doc, come here a minute.
00:11:08Explain it to him.
00:11:10Dreamy Joe wins only when I give him one of these speedballs.
00:11:15It won't show up in the test.
00:11:17It won't show up anyplace except his heart.
00:11:20One more speedball, and he'll win the race.
00:11:23But an hour later, he'll be dead.
00:11:26We could give him the speedball now, and he'd win.
00:11:29But I'm waiting till I've got a big bankroll to bet on him.
00:11:32So for now, I'll just take a grand apiece...
00:11:34and the next time out, Dreamy Joe loses.
00:11:36That fair enough?
00:11:38Boys, come up with a grand apiece.
00:11:40Sounds like a good deal.
00:11:42It's okay for me.
00:11:43Lock me in.
00:11:44I'll go for that.
00:11:45Yeah.
00:11:51Oh, you forgot to pay your fare.
00:11:53Oh, I don't handle that kind of money.
00:11:55I'm in a photograph finish with my landlady right now.
00:11:58I hear different.
00:12:00I hear it tell you're very thrifty.
00:12:02No, no, I'm just... just a little careful.
00:12:05I have a little here.
00:12:07815. I'll owe you the rest.
00:12:09885? I suppose we'll have to get the hard way, huh?
00:12:12What? No, I'm good.
00:12:13Where are you going?
00:12:14Into the vault.
00:12:15Oh, I didn't know I had it on.
00:12:17I might have a little here.
00:12:19It's my mad money.
00:12:21There's a G.
00:12:31And don't let it happen again.
00:12:32Next time, I'll lose my temper.
00:12:35Sorry.
00:12:38Hey, Sorrowful.
00:12:39Hmm?
00:12:40You're bleeding.
00:12:43Drop in again, but come before 6.
00:12:45That's when the prices change.
00:12:47Pick it up, Joe.
00:12:52Couples on the corner
00:12:54Laughin', lovin'
00:12:56Make me feel so alone
00:13:00I'd really like to do some
00:13:03Lovin' in a twosome
00:13:05All my own
00:13:09Why must they keep
00:13:12The moon so bright
00:13:14I won't sleep a wink tonight
00:13:21You're off key, like always.
00:13:34Hi, Eddie.
00:13:35Hi, Sorrowful.
00:13:36Eddie.
00:13:37Hi, Sorrowful.
00:13:41Well, good evening, Miss Noonan.
00:13:42Say, you're loaded with germs.
00:13:43I must be drafty on that runway, huh?
00:13:45Yeah, say, the other day when Dreamy Joe won,
00:13:47I didn't get on it.
00:13:48Next time out, I want 5 across the board.
00:13:50Oh, wonderful animal, Dreamy Joe.
00:13:52Great bloodlines.
00:13:53Like investing in a bank,
00:13:54you better make it 10 across.
00:13:55That's too much for me.
00:13:57I'll give you the 15.
00:13:59Whoops.
00:14:00The law.
00:14:05Oh, good evening, Mr. Ridden.
00:14:06I presume you know Miss Agnes Happy Hips Noonan.
00:14:09Yes, we're old paddy wagon friends.
00:14:11Mr. Ridden is one of the finest.
00:14:13In the wagon, he always sees that us ladies have the seats.
00:14:16One of these nights,
00:14:17I'll walk in on you taking the bets, Sorrowful.
00:14:20Sir, are you insinuating that I would break the law
00:14:22by taking wages on the races?
00:14:24There is such a rumor around Broadway.
00:14:26Yeah, well, I don't think so.
00:14:28There's such a rumor around Broadway.
00:14:30Yeah, well, I'm innocent.
00:14:31I'll lay you 10 to 1.
00:14:32I never took a bet in my life.
00:14:34Nice odds.
00:14:38You couldn't ask for a nicer man to arrest you.
00:14:40I'd give him all my business.
00:14:42Now, what was that again? 5 across?
00:14:44Yeah.
00:14:49Well, what does it look like?
00:14:50Dreamy Joe can't lose.
00:14:51Big Steve is betting $10,000 to win.
00:14:54Steve gave me the tip himself.
00:14:56That's good enough for me.
00:14:575 on Dreamy Joe on the nose.
00:15:015 on Dreamy Joe to win.
00:15:055 to win on Green Demon.
00:15:08House rules. No bets on credit.
00:15:10Take your markers someplace else.
00:15:12Where's Sorrowful?
00:15:15Sorrowful, I gotta get down on Green Demon.
00:15:17Will you take my marker for 5?
00:15:19Green Demon, eh?
00:15:20Jack, I was just down at the poorhouse.
00:15:21Conditions are terrible down there.
00:15:23Bookmakers are sleeping three in a bed.
00:15:24You know what they're using for blankets?
00:15:27Don't get discouraged.
00:15:28Come back when you got a little money.
00:15:29Always happy to see you.
00:15:3110 across on Dreamy Joe.
00:15:35How's the action?
00:15:36Everybody is tossing in on Dreamy Joe.
00:15:38We better lay some off at the track.
00:15:40Let's gamble, book it all.
00:15:43Last time you gambled,
00:15:44you bet Tuesday came after Monday.
00:15:46And you spent half an hour
00:15:47checking the calendar first.
00:15:48I have to. I gave odds.
00:15:49$20 on Dreamy Joe to win.
00:15:52Look, mister.
00:15:53We don't take markers from three kinds of people.
00:15:55Men, women, and children.
00:15:56But I've already dropped my whole week's salary.
00:15:58Get this dyed green and come back.
00:16:00But I might not be in time for the race.
00:16:02We'll tell the horses to slow down.
00:16:05Next.
00:16:14Hey.
00:16:15Hey, somebody hides the kid up the counter
00:16:17so she can make her bed.
00:16:18Oh, yeah.
00:16:19This is my little girl.
00:16:22But I don't want to go home.
00:16:25Hey, you're pretty smart.
00:16:26I'm four years old,
00:16:27and I can count to ten.
00:16:29Yeah, that's big talk.
00:16:30Let's see you back it up.
00:16:31Give me something to count.
00:16:33She's over four.
00:16:34Out. Out.
00:16:35Look, mister Jones.
00:16:36I've got a watch here, sir,
00:16:37that I paid over $100 for.
00:16:39See, when you open it up,
00:16:40it plays Yankee Doodle.
00:16:42Yeah, well, horses can't sing
00:16:43and they don't know what time it is.
00:16:44Take the kid home.
00:16:45Let's go, Daddy.
00:16:46I remember him in that book you read.
00:16:49He's a monster.
00:16:51Hey, watch your language.
00:16:52I'm the boss.
00:16:53I run this joint.
00:16:54I got plenty of friends around on my side.
00:16:56I... I'm sorry.
00:16:59Yeah, well, what's...
00:17:07Here.
00:17:09Here.
00:17:11Here's a penny.
00:17:13Even licorice costs two pennies.
00:17:15Martha Jane.
00:17:17The kid's right.
00:17:20Here.
00:17:21There's a deuce.
00:17:22Go stuff yourself.
00:17:24Thank you very much.
00:17:27Uh, mister Jones,
00:17:28I've got a friend, sir, down the street
00:17:30that'll let me have the 20.
00:17:31Hurry down.
00:17:32Well, if you could let me place my bet now,
00:17:34I'd... I'll leave you to it.
00:17:36You see, Dreamy Joe's my only chance to get even.
00:17:39Oh, you want to bet on Dreamy Joe?
00:17:41Yeah.
00:17:42Wow.
00:17:45That's a very solid filly.
00:17:46Should be good for 20 bucks easy.
00:17:48Yeah, she ought to melt down for that much.
00:17:50Take his marker.
00:17:51Thank you, mister Jones.
00:17:55Martha Jane, you be a good little girl now.
00:17:59Hey.
00:18:03Hey.
00:18:05What happened? Did he pull a gun on you?
00:18:07Don't you understand?
00:18:08He wants to bet on Dreamy Joe.
00:18:09He can't possibly win.
00:18:11It's a frame-up, a fix.
00:18:13Oh.
00:18:14So it's what horseplayers
00:18:16and other gentlemen in the turf
00:18:17refer to as a boat race.
00:18:19Of course it's a boat race,
00:18:20and Dreamy Joe is on the slowest boat.
00:18:22His jockey won't even be rowing.
00:18:26Take anything anybody wants to bet on Dreamy Joe,
00:18:28including inlays, marbles, and moose heads.
00:18:32Uh-oh.
00:18:36Put that down.
00:18:38Yes, sir.
00:18:39You want to give the joint a bad name?
00:18:52Say, is Big Steve in the office?
00:18:54Say, pardon me.
00:18:55Is Big Steve in his office?
00:18:56Eh?
00:18:57Big Steve.
00:18:58He's a friend of mine.
00:18:59He gave me a tip on a race.
00:19:00Huh?
00:19:01Well, if he's not in the office,
00:19:02maybe I can use the phone.
00:19:03Oh, never mind.
00:19:04I haven't got much time.
00:19:18Yeah?
00:19:19Steve, that jockey ought to be fixed.
00:19:21He might accidentally make Dreamy Joe win.
00:19:25Do you hear me, Steve?
00:19:28Steve, you sound awfully strange.
00:19:31I... I got a sort of a cold.
00:19:34I...
00:19:35Hey, who is this?
00:19:40Hello?
00:19:41Hello?
00:19:51Oh, Steve, I came over to see you.
00:19:54I wanted to borrow 20 bucks.
00:19:56The door was open, and I used your telephone.
00:19:59I had to make a phone call.
00:20:04I heard the phone ring.
00:20:06Oh, I...
00:20:07I called a friend of mine.
00:20:09I had him call me right back.
00:20:11I see.
00:20:13What's the number of this phone?
00:20:15Oh, the number?
00:20:17I don't know.
00:20:18I guess I forgot.
00:20:19I never could remember numbers.
00:20:21Shut the door.
00:20:31Steve, you can't get away with fixing that race.
00:20:33I'm getting out of here.
00:20:34I'm going to the police.
00:20:38You're now seeing the eighth race at Dellington Park
00:20:40through the television cameras.
00:20:42The horses are parading in front of the grandstand
00:20:44on their way to the post.
00:20:45Over a million dollars has been wagered on this race...
00:20:47Where are you going?
00:20:49Going down there. Why?
00:20:50Could I get down and go with you?
00:20:52Okay.
00:20:53It's better than chaining you.
00:20:56Come on.
00:21:02Don't wrinkle the suit.
00:21:04They play on Dreamy Joe's, Sarfo?
00:21:06Yeah, I may get cleaned out here.
00:21:07That horse had some terrific works.
00:21:09It's a beautiful day, and the track is dry and fast.
00:21:12When did they put the water on it?
00:21:15Water?
00:21:16What are you talking about?
00:21:17Well, you said they were going to have a boat race.
00:21:22She heard about the college boat race.
00:21:24I gave eight to five on Princeton.
00:21:27It's my school, you know.
00:21:30Hi.
00:21:32She's cute, isn't she cute?
00:21:38But where are the boats?
00:21:41I wish you were on one of them.
00:21:42Here.
00:21:43Have some chewing gum, huh?
00:21:45You like gum?
00:21:46Fill yourself.
00:21:47Take this box over to Regret, huh?
00:21:49I'd rather watch the boat race, please.
00:21:51No, go ahead.
00:21:52Regret will show you how to blow those great big, beautiful bubbles.
00:21:55That great big mouth of yours.
00:21:56Go ahead, honey.
00:21:57Go ahead, doll.
00:21:58Go ahead.
00:21:59Go ahead.
00:22:00Wait a minute.
00:22:01Hap's just kicking up in the gate.
00:22:02Now they've got her quieted down.
00:22:04The crowd is tense.
00:22:05They're all in line.
00:22:06And they're off and running.
00:22:08Fearless Champ is taking the lead.
00:22:10Fearless Champ is second and Bingo is fourth.
00:22:16It's Hap's sister by a head, Fearless Champ is second by a head,
00:22:19Bingo is third by a length, and Dreamy Jo is far back.
00:22:23Here we are.
00:22:26Half Sister is second now, by a length.
00:22:27Bingo is coming up on the inside, and Dreamy Jo is trailing.
00:22:30It's Hap's sister showing in front by her head, Fearless Champ second by two lengths,
00:22:34King Leo is third, it's Fearless Champ in front by a half,
00:22:37Half-sister is second by a head. King Leo, third by a length.
00:22:40And here comes Dreamy Joe, making a bold move.
00:22:43Are you crazy?
00:22:45Back, Dreamy Joe, back.
00:22:47Dreamy Joe is challenging and now going into the lead.
00:22:50It's Dreamy Joe.
00:22:52Dreamy Joe, don't you remember? Not today.
00:22:54Dreamy Joe is moving fast. He's in front by a half a length.
00:22:58Dreamy Joe is drawing clear.
00:23:00It's Dreamy Joe by a length.
00:23:02Fearless Champ is second by two.
00:23:04And Green Demon, moving up on the outside, is third.
00:23:07It's Dreamy Joe out in front and Jockey Dale is looking back.
00:23:10It's the crook trying to do a win.
00:23:12Green Demon is third. And Bingo on the rail is fourth.
00:23:16It's Dreamy Joe, Green Demon and Fearless Champ.
00:23:19It's going to be a driving finish. They're coming down to the wire.
00:23:21It's Dreamy Joe, Green Demon, Fearless Champ and Bingo.
00:23:24And clashing across the finish line, it's Green Demon, the winner.
00:23:28Fearless Champ, second. Bingo is third.
00:23:30Who did it? Who won it?
00:23:32You did, and Green Demon.
00:23:38How about that? I got to get out of this racket.
00:23:40This was too much of a gamble.
00:23:42Close call. $4,200.
00:23:44$4,200?
00:23:46I feel better already.
00:23:48Maybe if we could plan a little of this, we could grow a money tree.
00:23:51Here's that tab we took from that guy's 20. Did he come back?
00:23:54No. When he does, get the 20 before he takes the little doll.
00:23:58Where is he?
00:24:02How do you like that? Gone.
00:24:04Every time I get big-hearted.
00:24:06When was the other time?
00:24:0820 bucks is 200 dimes. Think of all the subway rides.
00:24:11Now find that little filly.
00:24:13Forget it. You still won plenty.
00:24:15Let's go someplace and celebrate.
00:24:17Let's drop in Big Steve's for a drink.
00:24:19We got nothing to celebrate. Maybe tomorrow we lose.
00:24:21That don't stop me from celebrating.
00:24:23Yeah, well, I wouldn't pay a cover charge to hear that girl of Big Steve.
00:24:26I heard her sing plenty in the Gatys.
00:24:28Besides, she sings flat.
00:24:30Sort of.
00:24:36And I'm saving all my love for you
00:24:44Just keeping all my love for you
00:24:51The stars look down, they seem to say
00:24:57Maybe love is on its way
00:25:02I'm having a wonderful way
00:25:06I've been waiting so long, time you were here
00:25:13The town's awake and so am I
00:25:19In no mood to just sit by
00:25:24I'm having a wonderful way
00:25:28How I want to belong, time you were here
00:25:35Couples on the corner laughing, loving
00:25:41Make me feel so alone
00:25:47I'd really like to do some loving in a twosome
00:25:53All my own
00:25:58Why must they keep the moon so bright?
00:26:04I won't sleep a wink tonight
00:26:09I'm having a wonderful way
00:26:13Got some loving to do, time you were here
00:26:43Kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty
00:27:08Oh, so you're the little kitty.
00:27:12You know, I hate to turn a sweet little doll like you over the sorrowful,
00:27:16but I got three mouths to feed, two on my wife.
00:27:28Well, well, well, for a guy that wasn't coming here, you're awful present.
00:27:32My scout troop is holding a meeting here tonight.
00:27:35How about the little doll? Did you get 20?
00:27:38Her you-know-what never showed up.
00:27:40Well, her you-know-what better show. We hold her till he does.
00:27:42I'm awful hungry.
00:27:44Hey, wait. Not yet, will you?
00:27:46How about that two cents worth of licorice?
00:27:48Hungry. You want to get jowls?
00:27:54Hello, Steve.
00:27:55You were great tonight, Glennis. Sit down.
00:27:57No, thanks, Steve. I'm still just one of the help.
00:28:00Besides, I see an old friend of mine.
00:28:02Enjoy yourself.
00:28:06She's going over to Sorrowful's table.
00:28:08If she does, she'll have to buy her own coffee.
00:28:11Hello.
00:28:13Oh, hello, Glennis.
00:28:15Regretting I were in the neighborhood, we just thought we'd drop in and catch your act.
00:28:18So you've been taking singing lessons.
00:28:20That's right.
00:28:21But not enough.
00:28:23Babysitting to earn some spending money?
00:28:26Her father left her in the horse room for a $20 marker.
00:28:29The horse lost and her old man hasn't showed.
00:28:32I wish my daddy would come.
00:28:34Why don't you phone her father?
00:28:36Why didn't you think of that? Let me have a nickel.
00:28:38What's your name?
00:28:39Martha Jane.
00:28:40Martha Jane what?
00:28:41Not Martha Jane what?
00:28:43Martha Jane Smith.
00:28:45Oh.
00:28:46Smith.
00:28:47Figures.
00:28:48All you have to do is look in the phone book and find a Smith.
00:28:50Do you know where you live?
00:28:52I live in a big, tall house with lots and lots of windows and doors.
00:28:59Doors?
00:29:01Doors.
00:29:03Sarfo, why don't you call the police and let them handle this?
00:29:06They'll know what to do.
00:29:07Hand this little filly over to the cops?
00:29:09Not in your life.
00:29:11Why, they'd fingerprint her. She'd have a record overnight.
00:29:14Sarfo loves Martha Jane very much.
00:29:16In fact, $20 worth.
00:29:18I wish my daddy would come.
00:29:20I'm hungry.
00:29:22Haven't you ordered her anything to eat?
00:29:24Eat? You want to ruin this kid's figure?
00:29:26Mr. Sarfo doesn't like me.
00:29:29Oh, of course he does, Martha, and he's going to buy you a big dinner.
00:29:34Or I'm going to call the cops myself,
00:29:36and then Uncle Sarfo will be out 20 big, crisp dollar bills.
00:29:42Waiter, bring this little lady the works.
00:29:44Bowl of cornflakes. Two spoons.
00:29:47I got a little girl like that at home.
00:29:49I give her steak for supper.
00:29:50After the tip you get tonight, she'll be back on cornflakes.
00:29:53I like steak for supper.
00:29:56This kid's been around. Why don't you order fillet mignon?
00:29:59Oh, thank you. And with mushrooms, please.
00:30:04And a baked potato and some spinach.
00:30:06And a nice big glass of milk and some strawberry shortcake.
00:30:09That's what I give my kid for supper.
00:30:11Now, what can I do for you?
00:30:13Adopt me.
00:30:27Why don't you wake her up and let her finish her own steak?
00:30:30Shh. Little doll needs rest. It's very healthy.
00:30:34Where does she spend the night?
00:30:36Hey, maybe we could get her in at the YWCA.
00:30:39No, if I guess not, we couldn't keep an eye on her there.
00:30:42Looks like we've got her on our hands.
00:30:44On our hands? You didn't say anything about odd 20 bucks.
00:30:47You better take her up to your room and put her to bed.
00:30:50I'm no nursemaid.
00:30:52Besides, my room is too small. I sleep in the kitchen.
00:30:55My room is too small. I sleep standing up now.
00:30:57Why couldn't one of you do...
00:30:59I'd like to, Sorrowful, but I don't finish until 1 o'clock,
00:31:01and this poor kid's got to get to bed right now.
00:31:05Look, we only got one bed at my house,
00:31:07and my wife even objects to me sharing it with her.
00:31:10Well, let's wake the kid up. Maybe she'll think of something.
00:31:12Maybe she wants to hang around till you finish at 1 o'clock.
00:31:14We could slip her some strong coffee.
00:31:16Sorrowful, for once in your life,
00:31:18why don't you do something nice for somebody?
00:31:21Okay, okay. I'm the fall guy. I can see it coming.
00:31:24The minute you make a few bucks, everybody wants to move in.
00:31:30Say, waiter, will you wrap up the rest of that steak for my dog?
00:31:33I'll get a bag.
00:31:35You haven't got a dog.
00:31:37Quiet.
00:31:39Come on, Shorts. This is it.
00:31:41Come on. We're traveling.
00:31:44Did my daddy come yet?
00:31:46No, but if he doesn't come by morning,
00:31:48I'm going to put an ad in the scratch sheet. You're going home with me.
00:31:50Sorrowful will be very nice to you, honey.
00:31:52He'll take care of you until your father comes.
00:31:54I guess you're not really a monster, Mr. Sorrowful.
00:31:58You just look like one.
00:32:23Mr. Sorrowful, I can undo this button.
00:32:30You sure you haven't got this thing on backwards?
00:32:33Or were you in the Navy?
00:32:35Steady. Steady.
00:32:38There you are. Okay.
00:32:44There's one more.
00:32:47Don't you ever knock?
00:32:49Before, not after.
00:32:51Round.
00:32:53Let me see. There you are.
00:32:56You okay?
00:32:58Thank you very much.
00:33:00That'll be on your check.
00:33:03Why are you undressing in the kitchen?
00:33:05Oh, I've got a horse in my pocket, and the light hurts his eyes.
00:33:09Oh.
00:33:10I knew you'd understand.
00:33:18I'm sorry.
00:33:20I'm sorry.
00:33:22I'm sorry.
00:33:24I'm sorry.
00:33:26I'm sorry.
00:33:28I'm sorry.
00:33:30I'm sorry.
00:33:40Hey. Hey, the neighbors.
00:33:44Keep that on. You're gonna have to sleep in that.
00:33:46But that's not healthy.
00:33:48I'd like a nightgown, please.
00:33:50You'd like a nightgown? Where do you think you are, on Park Avenue?
00:33:54You'll sleep in that or sleep raw.
00:33:56Sleep raw? What does that mean?
00:33:58When you... I'll find something for you.
00:34:06Where's the bathroom, please?
00:34:08The powder room is there.
00:34:10Thank you, Mr. Sorrowful.
00:34:12Get your floor plan later.
00:34:15Gotta have a nightgown.
00:34:24Here's your nightgown.
00:34:25This doesn't look like a nightgown.
00:34:28Women.
00:34:52Hey, shorts.
00:34:54Drag your royal chassis out of there and hit the sack.
00:34:56I just made your bed for you.
00:34:58I'm coming.
00:35:03Is this a nightgown?
00:35:07What do you want, shoulder pads?
00:35:10Good night.
00:35:11Good night.
00:35:27Well, pardon me.
00:35:30It's crowded, isn't it?
00:35:32You sure you're comfortable?
00:35:34Oh, yeah. It's nice and soft.
00:35:36Yeah, well, can I get you anything?
00:35:38A salami sandwich or a glass of champagne?
00:35:40I'm not hungry now. Maybe later.
00:35:43Well, don't hesitate to call on me if anything turns up.
00:35:46I'll be on tap all night waiting for your ring.
00:35:57Mr. Sorrowful.
00:35:59I want my daddy to come and get me.
00:36:03You want your daddy to come and get you.
00:36:05Makes two of us.
00:36:07Now get some shut-eye.
00:36:26Mr. Sorrowful.
00:36:28My daddy used to sing to me when I couldn't sleep.
00:36:32Oh, that's nice.
00:36:36Oh, please.
00:36:38Couldn't you sing to me?
00:36:40Then I wouldn't feel so lonesome and scared.
00:36:45Just when I was getting comfortable.
00:36:50Oh.
00:36:56You gotta have singing.
00:36:58And a St. Louis woman
00:37:01Went down to Newark
00:37:04No.
00:37:06Sweet Adeline
00:37:09My air
00:37:11No, I need three other guys for that.
00:37:14I'll read you a story, huh?
00:37:16Oh, please sing.
00:37:20Rock-a-bye baby
00:37:22On the treetop
00:37:24With da-da-dee-da-dee-da-da-da
00:37:29Here's a smart horse
00:37:31I'll bet him to show
00:37:34He'll run in the money
00:37:37At Pimlico
00:37:40This one's a sleeper
00:37:43Hope you're the same
00:37:46Here's a good jockey
00:37:48Sandman's his name
00:37:51Lie in your paddock
00:37:54Count winning sheep
00:37:56And put 20 fish
00:37:59On little Bo Peep
00:38:11Well.
00:38:14Rock-a-bye baby
00:38:17At Pimlico
00:38:19Da-da-da-da-da
00:38:21Win, place and show
00:38:23Shh.
00:38:24Mr. Stauffer, will you scrub my back, please?
00:38:27Can't bend down. I got a short circuit in my neck.
00:38:30You scrub my back, I'll eat a big breakfast.
00:38:34A big breakfast. Oh, that's wonderful.
00:38:38I could hold her head under it.
00:38:42Control yourself.
00:38:44Please, Mr. Stauffer.
00:38:46Shh.
00:38:48Things you have to do for 20 bucks.
00:38:51Okay, give it to me.
00:38:53Rock-a-bye baby
00:38:55At Pimlico
00:38:57Quiet.
00:38:59Saved by the bell.
00:39:01Do you want me to answer it?
00:39:02Not in that costume.
00:39:11Oh, hello.
00:39:13Good morning. Are you the lady of the house?
00:39:16Stop it. I'm very busy.
00:39:18What are you doing here?
00:39:19Is that my daddy?
00:39:21It's me, honey. Gladys.
00:39:24This is a great atmosphere for the kid.
00:39:25What time do the bats fly out?
00:39:27Well, I didn't rent it for a nursery.
00:39:28What's your mission?
00:39:29I got some oatmeal here for him.
00:39:31What did you think I was gonna give her? Pickled octopus?
00:39:33I got coffee on the stove right now and donuts.
00:39:36That's what I mean.
00:39:38Mr. Stauffer, the water's getting awful cold.
00:39:43Okay.
00:39:44Where are you going with that coffee?
00:39:46Well, the kid needs hot water. My coffee's weak.
00:39:48Put that back.
00:39:49I'll finish your bath and I'll make her some breakfast.
00:39:51Where's the milk?
00:39:52Where it always is. In front of my neighbor's door.
00:39:54It's a good thing I showed up or she'd have the first case of Berry-Berry on Broadway.
00:39:59Berry-Berry. Does she have to have two of everything?
00:40:02Hello, Martha Jane.
00:40:04Hello, Miss Gladys.
00:40:06I was doing fine with her. I had a high gloss on her shoulders.
00:40:09Mr. Stauffer, why don't you come and sit with me?
00:40:12And Miss Gladys can scrub both of our backs.
00:40:15Sure. Get in, Sorrowful.
00:40:17Well, thanks. I haven't got my water wings here.
00:40:19Besides, it might shrink his money belt.
00:40:21That's enough. My racket. Move over.
00:40:24All right. You wash. I'll dry.
00:40:26Where's a clean towel?
00:40:27In the closet with a clean shirt under the tomato juice and the cookies.
00:40:30Well, this is a nice homey little picture.
00:40:33Always lock your door, Sorrowful. That's rule number one.
00:40:36Come out here a minute. I want to talk to you.
00:40:42Hey, Steve, I can explain everything.
00:40:45I know what you're thinking.
00:40:46You're thinking the minute you turn your back, she runs into some handsome guy's apartment.
00:40:50I'm just thinking what a swell kid she is coming into a crummy joint like this.
00:40:53Just to give that little doll a bath.
00:40:55Yeah, well, it's quite possible she'd come up here to see me.
00:40:58Well, if that occurs to you again, take a good look in the mirror.
00:41:04Well, everybody can't have blue eyes.
00:41:07I came by here to make you a business proposition.
00:41:10Oh, well, after what I won on Dreamy Joe, it's like you were singing in my ear.
00:41:15I need $5,000.
00:41:16Song's over.
00:41:17It's got to be a big killing this time. I'm on the cuff again.
00:41:20My only odds to slip Dreamy Joe are that last speedball.
00:41:23Yeah, but $5,000?
00:41:25I'm going to Chicago to lay it off. I don't want to hurt the track odds.
00:41:28Why, Dreamy Joe ought to be 10 to 1.
00:41:30Yeah, but we did so well with $1,000. Can't we try again with $1,000?
00:41:33Big Steve said $5,000.
00:41:35Maybe I should write it out for you on your chest.
00:41:38No, thanks. I can remember.
00:41:40$5,000.
00:41:42Where can I find $5,000?
00:41:44Boss, you want I should take a personal look?
00:41:46No, wait a minute.
00:41:47Look, Sarival, we're trying to work this out like businessmen.
00:41:50Well, I'm glad you brought along your secretary.
00:41:52If you'd rather have a lump on your head for interest, that can be arranged.
00:41:56Okay, okay. You've got it.
00:42:01Oh, thanks.
00:42:05$5,000. That's a lot of zeros.
00:42:07You don't mind picking up a little easy money, do you?
00:42:11I won't have to sign this check. The bank will recognize the teardrops.
00:42:15By the way, the racing commission just suspended me for 30 days.
00:42:18They're investigating that last race. Took away my license.
00:42:21Oh, well, that's that. No license, no race, no $5,000.
00:42:25Drop her out when the deal is straightened out.
00:42:27Just a minute. I got it figured.
00:42:29All we have to do is register Dreamy Joe with a new owner.
00:42:32S. Taylor Henderson.
00:42:33Who's that?
00:42:34Me.
00:42:35Want to make something of it?
00:42:37No. I think it's a wonderful idea.
00:42:40If the racing commission is crazy in the head.
00:42:42What's wrong with me owning a horse? Am I a crook or something?
00:42:47He asks the questions and answers them, too.
00:42:49Now, all I know is if there's anything missing in the state of New York,
00:42:53once over Sam is always the favorite.
00:42:56And everybody knows you work for Big Steve.
00:42:58Pardon me while I cook up a little breakfast.
00:43:01You know he might be right.
00:43:06A new proposition? So soon?
00:43:08I can't let you pass up this deal.
00:43:10It just means too much to both of us.
00:43:12We can find a new owner for Dreamy Joe when it's incidental.
00:43:15Yeah, what's more important is my $5,000.
00:43:17Why, sure it is.
00:43:19And a bundle you can grab.
00:43:21Listen, Sorrowful, you can't lose.
00:43:23Dreamy Joe takes the speedball, he wins.
00:43:25That's A, B, C.
00:43:27And I get a big stack of the necessary. That's D, E, F.
00:43:29You got my word for it.
00:43:31Why, you don't think I'd crush you, do you?
00:43:34No.
00:43:35Why, you'll win so much money, you'll have to crawl over it to get into bed.
00:43:40Hey, you know, you got me hemmed in here, but I'm beginning to like it.
00:43:43Why, you'll win so many $100 bills that...
00:43:46you couldn't even stuff them into a box like that.
00:43:49What else can I tell you? Go ahead, write out the check.
00:43:52Check? Say, if it's that good, you can have the cash.
00:43:57$5,000.
00:43:59Right.
00:44:01Now all we got to do is dig up a new owner to front for Dreamy Joe.
00:44:04Somebody we both know.
00:44:06Honest and reliable.
00:44:08Well, everybody speaks highly of the Statue of Liberty.
00:44:13Mr. Sorrowful, I'm all dry now.
00:44:16Well, get wet again. I'm busy.
00:44:18I'll be back in a minute.
00:44:20I'll be back in a minute.
00:44:22I'll be back in a minute.
00:44:24Well, get wet again. I'm busy.
00:44:30Steve, what about that little character? She has an honest face.
00:44:33Give Dreamy Joe to that kid? Are you crazy?
00:44:36Steve, talk about honest. She wouldn't know one load of dice from another.
00:44:39And she couldn't double-cross us, not with me here watching her.
00:44:42Well, maybe you got an angle.
00:44:44She hasn't had time to be crooked.
00:44:46Who is she, anyway?
00:44:48One of the neighbor's kids. She uses my tub.
00:44:50What's her name?
00:44:52Martha Jane Smith.
00:44:54Okay. Tell Martha Jane she's running in the feature race Thursday.
00:44:59And tell her not to go shooting her mouth off to the other kids.
00:45:04Hey, Gladys.
00:45:06How about a little breakfast to touch shores?
00:45:09I'm staying here so Sorrowful doesn't give the kid an after-breakfast cigar.
00:45:13Okay. But don't let this get to be a habit with you.
00:45:18I'll wait.
00:45:20What's everybody doing up in the daytime?
00:45:23Oh, I thought it was my daddy.
00:45:26It's only regret.
00:45:28Get rid of the kid.
00:45:30What? Get rid of the kid.
00:45:35Okay, shorts. Get dressed.
00:45:37Come on, honey. Time to get dressed for breakfast.
00:45:39Can I have some bacon, please? Bacon? I just bought you a whole horse.
00:45:42For my very own? What color?
00:45:45Glad, who cares what color? It does a mile in 137 with blinkers.
00:45:49Can I see it, please?
00:45:51Sure. We'll all run out to the track and I'll show it to you. Now get dressed.
00:45:53Come on, honey.
00:45:55Sorrowful, what's all this about a horse?
00:45:59I'll tell you later.
00:46:01A horse is just what she needs.
00:46:03What's eating you?
00:46:04They found their old man in the East River.
00:46:06Orville Smith, like it says here.
00:46:08Bookmaker's ticket for 20 bucks in his pocket on Dreamy Joe.
00:46:11Poor kid.
00:46:13We better turn her over to the police.
00:46:15They'll know where to find her mother.
00:46:18Don't stand there. Get her dressed.
00:46:28Mrs. Gladden, will you help me with these buttons, please?
00:46:32Sure, Martha Jean.
00:46:37I guess you'd like to go home and see your mommy.
00:46:39I can't do that.
00:46:41Why not?
00:46:43My daddy said she'd never come back.
00:46:45I only can remember what she looked like.
00:47:11Whoa, Dreamy Joe!
00:47:13Whoa, Dreamy Joe!
00:47:15Miss Gladden, is this really my horse?
00:47:18Sure, Martha Jean. It's a present from Mr. Sorrowful.
00:47:23Nice outfit Gladden picked up for the kid.
00:47:25Yeah, she's a big spender with my money.
00:47:28How much of the deal does Gladden know?
00:47:30She knows a very good percentage.
00:47:32I had to tell her about needing the kid for a few days so we could run Dreamy Joe.
00:47:36Anyway, she likes the kid to have fun with the horse.
00:47:39And the speedball and the FIX.
00:47:42She wouldn't understand.
00:47:43She's one of those high-minded dames, thinks gambling is a sport.
00:47:46But the kid stays with you till after the race.
00:47:49You're in good shape.
00:47:51Oh, very good shape.
00:47:53First, I'm holding a hot kid the cops would love to find.
00:47:56Second, a gent was murdered with my marker in his pocket.
00:47:59Third, I'm an Iraqit, not considered legal.
00:48:02Fourth, I'm mixed up in a questionable race.
00:48:04And here on my thumb, if I try to resign,
00:48:07a couple of my business associates would beat me to death with their pinkies.
00:48:12I'm in good shape.
00:48:16Thank you very much, Mr. Sorrowful.
00:48:19I'm learning how to ride him.
00:48:21Don't make any long-range plans.
00:48:23This hay-burner's been around the track so long,
00:48:25he can read his own odds in the tote-port.
00:48:27Giddy-up, Dreamy Joe.
00:48:35Hang on, little lady, that's a spirited horse.
00:48:38Hang on, little lady, that's a spirited horse.
00:48:40He might throw you.
00:48:42Ah, this hay-burner can read his own odds on the tote-port.
00:48:46Giddy-up, Dreamy Joe.
00:48:50How much can Dreamy Joe win for her Thursday?
00:48:53The purse is 3,500.
00:48:55Hey, you don't think the kid really gets the money, do you?
00:48:59Well, I've always heard that the owner gets the purse.
00:49:02New Year's Day, I want a turkey and a fixed raffle.
00:49:04That's my charity for this season.
00:49:06Now, wait a minute.
00:49:08Uh-oh. Don't look now. It's Mr. Reardon.
00:49:13Scatter, if he asks for me, tell him I joined the Foreign Legion.
00:49:17No dice, Sorrowful. I'll lead him straight to you
00:49:19unless you tell me that Martha Jane gets the wind purse.
00:49:21Are you crazy? This is the law.
00:49:23I know it.
00:49:24If he finds a kid here with me, I'll be up to my ears in handcuffs.
00:49:26Well, then talk fast. The prison gates are opening.
00:49:28Okay, I'll give her a quarter.
00:49:30The whole thing.
00:49:32A half.
00:49:33All or nothing.
00:49:35Okay, nothing.
00:49:39You wouldn't really tell him, would you?
00:49:43I'm not gonna give up any part of it.
00:49:44Oh, Mr. Rich.
00:49:45Okay, okay, I'm gonna spot and you know it.
00:49:48The kid gets it all.
00:49:51Come on, Shorts. Exercise her.
00:49:55Here you go.
00:49:58Give him a fast brush-off.
00:50:05Hello, Gladys.
00:50:06Hi.
00:50:07Who's minding City Hall?
00:50:09It's in good hands.
00:50:11I just came out here to have a talk with Sorrowful.
00:50:13I hear he's latched on to a little girl.
00:50:16It's me and I'm a big girl.
00:50:18I'm talking about the little Smith kid who was left with Sorrowful as a marker.
00:50:23Oh, you know about her.
00:50:25Registering a horse in the kid's name's a funny way of trying to hide her.
00:50:28Look, Mr. Reardon, if you could just sort of not see her around here for a couple of days,
00:50:32just until Dreamy Joe runs.
00:50:34She might win $3,500.
00:50:36She'd still be an orphan and I'd still have to turn her in.
00:50:39Yeah, but she'd get an awful good start.
00:50:41She'd be a big sport with the other kids.
00:50:43I just want to have a look at her.
00:50:45I didn't say I was gonna put the cuffs on her.
00:50:47You mean there's a heart under that badge?
00:50:50I hear it ticking once in a while.
00:51:03Is he gone?
00:51:05Oh, hi, Mr. Reardon.
00:51:07What's new?
00:51:08What are you doing down the track? Some horse steal a blanket?
00:51:11Where's the little girl?
00:51:12Little girl? What little girl?
00:51:14Say, if you get any hot information on these dogs around here, let me know, will you?
00:51:16I'd like to bet a little.
00:51:18Careful one.
00:51:19The Smith girl.
00:51:20Smith?
00:51:21Oh, I know a lot of Smiths.
00:51:22Martha Jane Smith.
00:51:24Oh, that must be one of the newer Smiths.
00:51:26Thank you very much.
00:51:28Gotta keep the flies out.
00:51:30Say, how tall is she?
00:51:31Like so.
00:51:32Blonde or brunette?
00:51:33Sort of blonde.
00:51:34Boy or girl?
00:51:35Girl.
00:51:36Oh, girl, girl.
00:51:37And quit stalling, Sorrowful.
00:51:39Doesn't sound like anybody I know.
00:51:42Hey, maybe that's your kid.
00:51:43That's a jockey. I'm talking about the kid you're trying to hide.
00:51:46Me hide?
00:51:48That's all I have to do is hide a kid.
00:51:50Okay, you don't know anything, so I'll tell you something.
00:51:53We fished a guy out of the East River.
00:51:55He had one of your betting receipts in his pocket.
00:51:58He was the little girl's father.
00:52:00Oh, we ought to pass the hat for her.
00:52:03Maybe you could use my hat, huh?
00:52:04You know what they do to you for kidnapping?
00:52:06They sit you in a big chair.
00:52:08They strap your legs in, they strap your arms in.
00:52:11On your head they put a steel cap.
00:52:14Then they turn on the electricity.
00:52:17Does it hurt you?
00:52:18Hurt you?
00:52:19It ruins you.
00:52:21See you later.
00:52:25Take these to homicide.
00:52:26Yes, sir.
00:52:31Pick up the Smith kid?
00:52:33No, left her with Sorrowful.
00:52:35You left that poor little girl with Sorrowful Jones?
00:52:38We can pick her up any time.
00:52:41Meanwhile, she's the only lead we've got in the Smith murder case.
00:52:45You know, something must be cooking when Big Steve leaves town...
00:52:49and turns his horse over to a four-year-old child.
00:52:52I don't think Sorrowful's smart enough to be mixed up in it.
00:52:55Anyway, I'll keep my eyes on him.
00:52:58But it's like leaving a baby with a pack of wolves.
00:53:00In fact, it is leaving a baby with a pack of wolves.
00:53:03Oh, I don't know. The kid could do worse.
00:53:05Got a match, Ed?
00:53:06Right.
00:53:09Craziest thing I ever heard of.
00:53:11Horse can't run in a three-year-old class anymore...
00:53:13so the little doll wants to give him a birthday party.
00:53:15So she gets some fun out of it.
00:53:17Let her store up a few laughs.
00:53:18She'll need to draw on them later.
00:53:20What more does she want?
00:53:21She's getting half of the wind purse.
00:53:23Half?
00:53:24Maybe three-quarters.
00:53:27Okay, okay. She gets it all.
00:53:29Watch it.
00:53:31Happy birthday to you.
00:53:35Happy birthday to you.
00:53:39Happy birthday, Dreamy Joe.
00:53:43Hey, hey.
00:53:44Happy birthday to you.
00:53:48Oh, that's wonderful.
00:53:49I won the big race. I'm victory king.
00:53:51You won't miss the posies.
00:53:52Oh, thank you very much.
00:53:53Let's make a wish for Dreamy Joe.
00:53:55Come on, Martha Jane.
00:54:02Miss Gladys, can Dreamy Joe see his presents now?
00:54:05Sure. That's what presents are for.
00:54:07Gentlemen, be seated.
00:54:17Look, honey.
00:54:19This is what your jockey will wear.
00:54:22M.J.S. Martha Jane Smith.
00:54:25Didn't Dreamy Joe get a lot of nice presents?
00:54:27I should say so.
00:54:29Mr. Sorrowful, what did you bring him?
00:54:32Oh, I got a present.
00:54:33I didn't come empty-handed.
00:54:35Look at that.
00:54:36What is that, Mr. Sorrowful?
00:54:38Sugar.
00:54:39You might at least take the automatic wrappers off.
00:54:41That's the same sugar they give you at the Waldorf.
00:54:43Thank you, Mr. Sorrowful, for Dreamy Joe.
00:54:46Well, what did you bring him?
00:54:47I have a present for him.
00:54:49All the other horses have mascots for luck.
00:54:52I want Dreamy Joe to have my dog.
00:54:55Well, I think that's the very nicest present of all.
00:55:03Well, the drinks are on me.
00:55:05Look what I brought.
00:55:06Mr. Sorrowful, I brought the...
00:55:07Quiet, boy. Paper cups for everybody.
00:55:09There you are.
00:55:10Fiesta time, Doc.
00:55:11What a party.
00:55:12Martha Jane, look.
00:55:13Somebody get a cup for the horse.
00:55:15Look for Dreamy Joe.
00:55:17Imagine Sorrowful Jones moving into an apartment with an elevator.
00:55:21Not one landlady waiting downstairs for the rent.
00:55:24Electric light in the hall has a lampshade.
00:55:27And talk about high-class names.
00:55:29The Claymore Arc.
00:55:31Why don't you get that thing fixed?
00:55:35Wow, what do you know? Rug.
00:55:38Go on, get ready for bed, George.
00:55:39Dreamy Joe and I had a wonderful time at your party, Miss Gladys.
00:55:44Her party?
00:55:45Who bought the paper cups?
00:55:46Good night, honey.
00:55:50See you when you come in to kiss me good night, Mr. Sorrowful.
00:55:58That's a new thing, kissing her good night.
00:56:00I wonder where she got the idea.
00:56:02Whose idea was the new apartment?
00:56:04Well, I had to get out of that one room.
00:56:06That little character was snoring like a freight engine going uphill.
00:56:10You know, Sorrowful, under that hide of yours, you're practically a person.
00:56:15Go on, you better head for the club.
00:56:16It's about time for you to do your number.
00:56:18The one you sing off key.
00:56:20I have a few minutes to spare.
00:56:22How about some quick hospitality?
00:56:24Huh?
00:56:25I'll sign an I.O.U. for one drink.
00:56:29Okay, I'll spring.
00:56:38You know, I'll be glad when this race is over so I can give the air to the little doll.
00:56:43You know, it sort of cramps my style to have to lug her around.
00:56:46With a dog, it's different.
00:56:48You give him a couple of biscuits, toss them out in the back porch, and that's it.
00:56:51With a kid, it's rough.
00:56:53They got buttons.
00:56:55It doesn't seem to bother you too much.
00:56:58Where are the two straws?
00:57:00All I want is a taste.
00:57:03I better keep an eye on her for when she starts losing too much weight.
00:57:07Are you insinuating I don't feed her?
00:57:09Besides, how much can she lose in three days?
00:57:11I've been thinking about that three-day limit.
00:57:13What comes after?
00:57:14Well, maybe she'll latch on to somebody.
00:57:16Some nice couple with a front lawn.
00:57:19Have you been taking sentimental pills?
00:57:21I haven't heard you talking about front lawns since that night in Omaha.
00:57:25Yeah.
00:57:27I'll never forget that.
00:57:29Wonderful little chop suey.
00:57:32Boy, that was expensive.
00:57:35Well, after we tossed for the check, you got kind of romantic.
00:57:38Yeah, I guess I did.
00:57:40In those days, it seemed the most important thing in the world
00:57:42was to keep our stuff in closets instead of trunks.
00:57:45Just to have a few flowers that weren't props.
00:57:48Gee, I hope Martha Jane gets a few laughs out of life.
00:57:52You know, she's crazy about you.
00:57:54I'm crazy about her, too.
00:57:57If she had you and a father, she'd have a complete set.
00:58:02Sure she would.
00:58:05Well, what about you and...
00:58:10Big Steve?
00:58:16It's later than I thought.
00:58:18How about your drink?
00:58:19Pour it back in the bottle and dive right in after it.
00:58:22What are you sore about?
00:58:23Sore? Who's sore?
00:58:25I just think I better get out of here, that's all.
00:58:28Steve might not like it.
00:58:32Dames.
00:58:41How you doing?
00:58:44Doesn't Aunt Gladys look beautiful?
00:58:47Aunt Gladys? Now it's Aunt Gladys.
00:58:49Come on, let's do the good night fit and get it over with.
00:58:53Don't you like me, Mr. Sorrowful?
00:58:55Sure, you're okay, but I'm a busy man. Now grab some shut-eye, huh?
00:58:58Aren't you going to read me a story?
00:59:01Oh, we're in a rut.
00:59:04An awful lot of rations here again.
00:59:07That's the one Aunt Gladys sent me.
00:59:09Aunt Gladys? It's good you've got rich relatives.
00:59:12This is a story about a little orphan Mary,
00:59:14who had no parents, no money, no clothes,
00:59:17and no place to live.
00:59:20Cartoon comics.
00:59:21I know all that part.
00:59:23Skipper will wish she was in the burning house
00:59:25and her hands and feet are tied.
00:59:29Hey, you better give me this book and I'll buy it.
00:59:31No, I won't.
00:59:34Hey, you better give me this book and I'll buy you a new one, huh?
00:59:37Buy your own book, tightwad.
00:59:40Oh, not talking like that. That ain't nice.
00:59:42I've been meaning to speak to you about that.
00:59:44That's okay for you and me,
00:59:46but no telling who else might be listening.
00:59:48Do you mean God?
00:59:51Yeah.
00:59:53Yeah.
00:59:55Daddy said there's nobody named God.
01:00:00When did he say this?
01:00:01When my mommy went away.
01:00:07Yeah.
01:00:09Well, I guess your old man did get kind of a tough break,
01:00:12but what he said wasn't right.
01:00:16Not just right.
01:00:18I mean, there is somebody named God.
01:00:20Did you ever see him?
01:00:24Well, he doesn't hang around horse rooms very much,
01:00:27but if you ever want anything and you can't promote it for yourself,
01:00:30you just ask God.
01:00:33Often as not, he comes through.
01:00:35Do you write him letters like you do Santa Claus?
01:00:41That's where praying comes in.
01:00:44You save three cents.
01:00:46Then show me how to pray, please.
01:00:50Go to sleep.
01:00:51But I want to ask for something.
01:00:53I never knew a dame who didn't.
01:00:54Okay.
01:00:56Get out of bed.
01:00:58Don't tell anybody about this.
01:00:59See, I don't want it to get around.
01:01:01Now, kneel down.
01:01:03Put your hands together like this.
01:01:04Shut your eyes.
01:01:05But why?
01:01:07How do I know? I don't make the rules.
01:01:08Who does?
01:01:10I like to.
01:01:11Racing Commission makes the rules of the track.
01:01:13I guess there must be a praying commission someplace.
01:01:16Oh.
01:01:17What does the commission say?
01:01:19Just say like this.
01:01:21Now I lay me down to sleep.
01:01:22Now I lay me down to sleep.
01:01:25I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
01:01:27I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
01:01:29If I should die before I wake.
01:01:31If I should die before I wake.
01:01:33I pray the Lord my soul to take.
01:01:35I pray the Lord my soul to take.
01:01:38And God bless Sorrowful, Gladys, Regret, and everybody.
01:01:43And God bless sorrowful, gladness, regret, and everybody.
01:01:48And God bless sorrowful, and gladness, and regret, and everybody.
01:01:53And dreamy Joe, too?
01:01:55Oh, yeah, him most of all. He's closest to going.
01:01:58And dreamy Joe most of all. He's closest to going. Is that all?
01:02:04Yeah, that's the works.
01:02:05But when do I ask for what I want?
01:02:07Oh, well, you better slip it in right now while your prayer's still hot.
01:02:10Please, dear God. Bye, Mr. Sorrowful New Suit.
01:02:18But two pair of pants, please.
01:02:34Where'd you get this?
01:02:35Picked it up in a pawn shop on 3rd Avenue. Figured it might be the one.
01:02:38Did you trace the pawn ticket?
01:02:40Hocked last week by a Mrs. Oliver Simms, scrub lady.
01:02:45Seemed to be scared stiff when I wrote out the questions for her.
01:02:48Wrote out the questions?
01:02:49She stoned it.
01:02:50Oh? Where does she work?
01:02:52Big Steve Holloway's cafe.
01:02:54She says she found the watch on the floor in Big Steve's office.
01:02:57I think she was scared because she hocked it instead of turning it in.
01:03:03Good seeing you.
01:03:09Hello, Mr. Airdale.
01:03:17Hello, Sam. Getting in condition?
01:03:19Hello, Mr. Airdale.
01:03:21What do you hear from Big Steve?
01:03:23Not a thing.
01:03:25Not a thing, sir.
01:03:27Yes, sir.
01:03:29Shouldn't he be getting back from Chicago soon?
01:03:32He wouldn't be here.
01:03:34Shouldn't he be getting back from Chicago soon?
01:03:37He wouldn't miss the big race tomorrow, would he?
01:03:40I don't know nothing, sir.
01:03:50What'll I think of next?
01:03:53Mine just goes tick-tock.
01:03:56Tick-tock, sir.
01:04:05Oh, yes, Sam.
01:04:07I've been meaning to ask you.
01:04:09Did you know that Steve gave Dreamy Joe to a four-year-old kid?
01:04:13Yes, sir.
01:04:15Big Steve has a heart of gold.
01:04:18And that the kid is the daughter of Orville Smith?
01:04:21Who's Orville Smith?
01:04:23He's the young fellow we found in the East River last week...
01:04:26with three bullet holes and a $20 marker on Dreamy Joe.
01:04:32Interesting, isn't it?
01:04:34What's that got to do with me, sir?
01:04:39Well, I've been talking to Sorrowful Jones.
01:04:42You know, the kid was left with him.
01:04:45We've had a very interesting conversation.
01:04:48And you know something else, Sam?
01:04:50The hot seat's even hotter than the one you're sitting on.
01:05:01Mike! Mike!
01:05:03Get me out of here! I'm frying!
01:05:10Hello.
01:05:11Steve? I've been trying and trying to reach you.
01:05:14Yeah, I just got in from the airport. What's the matter? Something wrong?
01:05:17Ray didn't give me the business while I'm getting the steam.
01:05:20The little doll who we saw in the bathtub at Sorrowful...
01:05:23belongs to the gent we caught in your office, remember?
01:05:26The one whose last address was the East River.
01:05:29The way I see it, Sorrowful has been shooting his mouth off to the law.
01:05:33Oh, I see.
01:05:35All right, get on over there and shut him up and get that kid out of sight.
01:05:38Having her around so close might give Ray a dozen ideas.
01:05:41Now, look, I don't care what you have to do. Get rid of her.
01:05:44Lose her.
01:05:48Ready, Mr. Sorrowful?
01:05:50Not yet. Keep your eyes closed.
01:06:00Hiya, shorts. What's the matter?
01:06:02Does looking at Sorrowful hurt your eyes, too?
01:06:04She'll be out in a minute. I'm not allowed to peek.
01:06:07Oh, I see.
01:06:15Ta-da!
01:06:17Ooh!
01:06:19I'm glad if Mr. Sorrowful looks almost as beautiful as Dreamy Joe.
01:06:23I'm glad if Mr. Sorrowful looks almost as beautiful as Dreamy Joe.
01:06:31It's like Rembrandt painted a dish of chicken fat.
01:06:34Drink it in. I gotta be back in the window by 12.
01:06:37Must have passed the barber college.
01:06:39Hmm, new shoes, too.
01:06:41Oh, he prayed for a new suit.
01:06:43Stool pigeon. Can't a citizen get dressed up if he wants to?
01:06:46Who asked you to come back, anyway?
01:06:48Well, I figured you wouldn't have sense enough to get her socks and underwear.
01:06:54That's for the kid to wrap it up. She's going on a trip.
01:06:58A trip? Is he gonna take me to my daddy?
01:07:03Start getting ready for bed, shorts. I'll give you the rundown later.
01:07:09Hey, who's going on what trip?
01:07:11Me and Steve hear from reliable parties that you've been holding conversations with the law.
01:07:16You mean with Reardon?
01:07:18Suppose he has. What's that got to do with her?
01:07:20According to Steve, she should get herself lost.
01:07:23Such as out of town or in an orphanage.
01:07:26Yeah, but she's such a little doll. She's not in anybody's way.
01:07:29It is not possible to eat corn on a cob without front teeth.
01:07:33Or would you like to see for yourself?
01:07:35Sorrowful. Don't let him push you around.
01:07:38I'm glad you reminded me.
01:07:40Not gonna do it, Sam. Little doll deserves a break.
01:07:42She's leaving here. And you're keeping your trap shut about it.
01:07:47Well, I'll try to control my temper.
01:07:50I'll put her to the doll in person. Maybe she'd like to go.
01:07:58If you and Steve get that little girl out of here, it'll be over my dead body.
01:08:02That can be arranged, too.
01:08:11If I'm not gonna see my daddy, am I gonna see Dreamy Joe?
01:08:15Well, not exactly. You're going to a special place for kids.
01:08:18Just what you need, an orphanage.
01:08:20What's an orphanage?
01:08:23Oh, it's like a big pool room, but for kids.
01:08:26Playgrounds, baseball teams, soft bed, three meals a day.
01:08:30Well, maybe two, but very nourishing.
01:08:35All the oatmeal you can eat.
01:08:37If you don't eat it, some old bitty'll slug you.
01:08:40Put you on bread and water.
01:08:42Lock you up in solitary.
01:08:44Keep you slaving away in the jute mill.
01:08:46All because you wouldn't eat that soggy oatmeal.
01:08:49I guess it's a nice place or you wouldn't take me there.
01:09:00Are we leaving now?
01:09:07No, we're not leaving.
01:09:09We're gonna play a little game.
01:09:11It's called hide-and-go-seek on the fire escape.
01:09:13You hide there and don't make a sound till I yell, ready.
01:09:16Are you gonna surprise me again?
01:09:20This time it's me I'm surprising.
01:09:22No matter what happens, promise me you'll keep quiet.
01:09:24Sure I will, Mr. Sorrowful.
01:09:26Okay, honey.
01:09:29Where's the kid?
01:09:31Sam, I'm not gonna let you take her.
01:09:33Unlock that door and get out of my way.
01:09:36You make one move and I'll throw a punch.
01:09:39Just quiver a muscle and I'll flatten you.
01:09:42All right, you'll flatten me, but I'll get up off the floor swinging.
01:09:45So you're swinging.
01:09:47Shall I break your nose?
01:09:49I'll break your nose.
01:09:51I'll break your nose.
01:09:53I'll break your nose.
01:09:55I'll break your nose.
01:09:57I'll break your nose like this.
01:10:01I'm bleeding pretty bad, but I shake my head to clear it and I still come at you.
01:10:05You know, Sam, you're outnumbered.
01:10:07Stay out of this or I'll bop you.
01:10:10Now give me that key or I'll drive your head through that door.
01:10:15I warned you.
01:10:16Come on, unlock the door. Let's get shorts and get out of here.
01:10:18Okay.
01:10:21Well, maybe it's a good thing I dropped in.
01:10:25Did you get rid of the kid?
01:10:27No, she's in there.
01:10:29Get up.
01:10:30Now, wait a minute, Steve.
01:10:31For what?
01:10:36See, I told you she isn't here.
01:10:38But I seen her come in.
01:10:42She ain't here.
01:10:45Where is she?
01:10:46Well, that's different.
01:10:48You ask a civil question, you get a civil answer.
01:10:50I don't know where she is.
01:10:52Hey, boss.
01:10:58Shorts.
01:10:59Shorts.
01:11:03Shorts.
01:11:04What happened?
01:11:05She must have fallen from the fire escape.
01:11:07We better get her to a hospital.
01:11:23Severe cerebral concussion.
01:11:25The pressure is increasing.
01:11:27Any indication of regaining consciousness, doctor?
01:11:29She started to rally a little.
01:11:35She kept calling for someone.
01:11:38Better arrange for magnesium sulfate by hypo.
01:11:40Right.
01:11:42The next few hours will tell.
01:11:45This wouldn't have happened
01:11:46if you'd taken her to your house that night.
01:11:48But now your wife had to have a bed all to herself.
01:11:52Who's boss of your house, anyway?
01:11:54I guess your fondness for 20 bucks had nothing to do with it.
01:11:57We all gave the kid a little wrong way push.
01:11:59It's kind of late to start placing the blame now.
01:12:05I'm sorry.
01:12:06I'm sorry.
01:12:07I'm sorry.
01:12:08I'm sorry.
01:12:09I'm sorry.
01:12:10I'm sorry.
01:12:11I'm sorry.
01:12:12I'm sorry.
01:12:14Doc.
01:12:17Yes?
01:12:18Any word?
01:12:19No change.
01:12:20She's still in a coma.
01:12:21How serious?
01:12:22Her state of shock can be very serious.
01:12:24Look, Doc, you can level with us.
01:12:26What are the odds?
01:12:2750-50.
01:12:28Oh, well, that's not bad.
01:12:30That's even money.
01:12:31Why, we're practically betting on a favorite.
01:12:33Is there a father here?
01:12:35No.
01:12:36Then which one of you does she call Dreamy Joe?
01:12:39None of us.
01:12:40Dreamy Joe is a horse.
01:12:41Her horse.
01:12:42Oh, that's too bad.
01:12:44She keeps calling for Dreamy Joe.
01:12:46It would have helped.
01:12:47Excuse me, please.
01:12:50I wonder if that praying commission is open in the daytime.
01:12:53What?
01:12:55Oh, nothing.
01:12:57She keeps asking for Dreamy Joe.
01:13:01I never realized a nag could mean so much to a kid.
01:13:04Just a look at him might make the difference.
01:13:07Hey, why don't we rig up a prop horse?
01:13:09You know, one of those riding academy nags.
01:13:11She'd never know the difference.
01:13:12She'd know.
01:13:13She loves Dreamy Joe.
01:13:14If we tried to fool her, it might make things even worse.
01:13:16If the big race wasn't in just a few hours, we might arrange something.
01:13:20Which is more important, a bunch of horses chasing each other or Martha Jane?
01:13:24What are you looking at me for?
01:13:25What do you want me to do, steal them off the track?
01:13:27If necessary, yes.
01:13:29Do you know what they do to horse thieves?
01:13:32They don't hang anymore.
01:13:33Just roust you a little.
01:13:35What am I arguing about?
01:13:37This is the craziest thing I ever heard of.
01:13:39If I even tried to cross Big Steve,
01:13:41they'd have to roll me into surgery on four different tables.
01:13:44All right.
01:13:46But what if we borrow Dreamy Joe after the race?
01:13:49There won't be any Dreamy Joe after the race.
01:13:51Speedballitis.
01:13:53Speedballitis?
01:13:56You mean they're going to give the horse a jolt?
01:13:58The big one?
01:14:04You dragged the kid into a crooked race.
01:14:06You gave her a horse and let her get crazy about it when you knew it was going to be killed?
01:14:09Look, Gladys, it was a business deal.
01:14:11The kid just happened to get mixed up in it.
01:14:13I never wanted to hurt her.
01:14:18If we should ever run into each other again along Broadway,
01:14:21just keep walking.
01:14:27Come on, Blabbermouth. Let's get walking.
01:14:36Shh.
01:14:51Doc, I want to talk to you.
01:14:52In a minute? Soon as I finish?
01:14:56There. Walk him around a little.
01:14:58Let him get the feel of those bandages.
01:15:00Just a minute.
01:15:01Here, Sam, you walk him.
01:15:02Me?
01:15:03Yes, you. I don't want anybody else to touch this horse.
01:15:05Okay.
01:15:07Come on.
01:15:13Now's the time. We can do it.
01:15:15Yeah, I could have figured in the spotlight this would be we again.
01:15:18If you were half a man, you'd think of shorts.
01:15:20Okay, but if this doesn't work, I'll be half a man.
01:15:23Go ahead. No slip-ups, do you hear?
01:15:29Good afternoon, Sam.
01:15:31What do you want?
01:15:32I don't want anything.
01:15:34And what are you telling me good afternoon for?
01:15:36Oh, now look, Sam.
01:15:38Just because you got it in for that heel sorrel fool,
01:15:41that shouldn't be nothing between you and me.
01:15:43I happen to like you.
01:15:44What is there to like?
01:15:46Oh, I didn't mean no offense.
01:15:48Why, everybody likes you.
01:15:50They do?
01:15:51Sure.
01:15:52Why, when you walked on Broadway,
01:15:54do you know what everybody says?
01:15:55What?
01:15:56They say, there goes Sam.
01:15:58No.
01:15:59Yes.
01:16:00And you know what else they say?
01:16:02They say you're smart.
01:16:03You gotta be smart.
01:16:05You don't like a guy,
01:16:06you gotta have brains enough to belt him on the chin.
01:16:09And you know something, Sam?
01:16:11When it comes to belting people on the chin,
01:16:13you got just the brain for it.
01:16:17Well, so long, Sam.
01:16:19Always nice to kick it around with you.
01:16:21You talk my language.
01:16:22Thank you kindly.
01:16:23And a word to the wife.
01:16:25Give the brush to that clump sorrel fool.
01:16:27You got class.
01:16:34Come on, will you?
01:16:36Come on.
01:16:39Hey, you're not Dreamy Joe.
01:16:41What?
01:16:42What do you know?
01:16:47What happened?
01:16:48Boss, I brought back the wrong beast.
01:16:49Where's Dreamy Joe?
01:16:50What did you do with him?
01:16:51I don't know.
01:16:52I was walking along, clutching a rope,
01:16:54talking to my friend Regret.
01:16:55Regret?
01:16:56Regret.
01:16:57Regret.
01:16:58Regret.
01:16:59Regret.
01:17:00Regret.
01:17:01Regret.
01:17:02Regret.
01:17:03Why, you dunce.
01:17:05That means sorrel fool Jones has Dreamy Joe.
01:17:07I think I know where to find sorrel fool.
01:17:09So sorrel fool makes a monkey out of me, huh?
01:17:12So I'll make a scramble they got of him.
01:17:33Well, I guess we'd better try it the hard way.
01:17:37Oh, boy.
01:17:38Where'd you go?
01:17:39Oh, boy.
01:17:40Come here, boy.
01:17:41Come on.
01:17:42Could you kneel down a little?
01:17:44Have to cooperate.
01:17:47If there's any change in her pulse,
01:17:49respiration, or temperature, call me immediately.
01:17:52Yes, doctor.
01:17:53Is it all right if I stay, doctor?
01:17:55I think so.
01:17:57Keep moving, Dreamy Joe.
01:18:19Come on.
01:18:21Move it.
01:18:22Come on.
01:18:23Hurry.
01:18:25Come on.
01:18:26Stop! What's the meaning of this?
01:18:53Oh, it's okay. He's my brother.
01:18:54I'll take him to the psycho ward. He thinks he's a horse.
01:19:05There's a loon chick in the elevator with a horse.
01:19:08This is your big chance to be a horse.
01:19:18Stand by. I'll see if the coast is clear.
01:19:22If you see anybody, look sick.
01:19:42Hey.
01:19:45Hey.
01:19:47Hey!
01:19:49Say, did you see a horse get off the elevator?
01:19:51A horse?
01:19:52Yeah, I told him I'd come back.
01:19:53You told the horse you'd come back?
01:19:55Yeah, he was right here and he disappeared.
01:19:56The horse disappeared?
01:19:57Yeah.
01:19:58I lost my horse, you hear?
01:19:59All right, all right.
01:20:00Well, I'd like to...
01:20:01Don't get excited.
01:20:02I'm not excited.
01:20:03Maybe he went out to get a drink of water.
01:20:04He'll come right back. They all come back.
01:20:05Yeah?
01:20:06Yeah, we see them around here all the time.
01:20:07Pink ones, green ones, blue ones.
01:20:08Are you a patient here?
01:20:09No, I'm a doctor.
01:20:10Yeah, I'd like a horse.
01:20:11Why don't you step into my office?
01:20:12You're going to be all right.
01:20:14There, you see?
01:20:16Nurse!
01:20:17Nurse!
01:20:18Where'd you go?
01:20:19You have to go riding up and down.
01:20:20We have work to do.
01:20:42Good shot.
01:20:43I don't know how we're going to get past those two gorillas.
01:20:46Why'd you have to get mixed up with Big Steve anyway?
01:20:48Wait a minute.
01:20:55Shorts.
01:20:57Wait a minute.
01:21:02Oh, pardon me.
01:21:04I thought it was...
01:21:06Carry on.
01:21:11Come on, we'll make it.
01:21:16Come on.
01:21:24He's got to come this way.
01:21:26A hospital is just the right place to patch him up.
01:21:30The important thing is to find out what he did with the horse.
01:21:40Doctor, have you seen a lunatic with a horse?
01:21:42A lunatic?
01:21:43Oh, yeah, I saw two of them there in front of room 508.
01:21:45We'll take care of them.
01:21:47Please do.
01:21:48There they are.
01:21:49Grab them.
01:21:58Come.
01:21:59Come, my big doll.
01:22:00This is it.
01:22:02And we got clear sailing from here in.
01:22:04Don't worry about a thing.
01:22:05Whoops.
01:22:06Why, if it ain't Sorrowful June.
01:22:08Well, I was just bringing them in for a check-up, that's all.
01:22:14What a sucker, leading with your right, huh?
01:22:17Give me that horse.
01:22:18I got to have that horse.
01:22:21You're nuts for swiping a kid.
01:22:23We got to get out of here.
01:22:24Give him my rabbit punch.
01:22:31I can't understand it.
01:22:32It always worked on rabbits.
01:22:34You're not getting away with that horse.
01:22:35So you want some more, huh?
01:22:36Yeah, I want that horse.
01:22:37Well, this is for shooting your mouth off to the law.
01:22:39You mean to me, Sam, huh?
01:22:41It's a good thing you come out and kill him.
01:22:42I want to have a little chat with you boys down at headquarters.
01:22:44I got a date with Dreamy Joe.
01:22:46Come on, Joe.
01:22:47Come on, boy.
01:22:49How have you back pounding a beat for this?
01:22:51A certain scrub lady recognized a photograph of Orville Smith.
01:22:55Take him away, boys.
01:22:56All right, let's go.
01:22:57Come on.
01:23:02There he is.
01:23:03Oh, hiya, fellas.
01:23:04We got rid of those two hoodlums, all right?
01:23:05Hold him.
01:23:06I'll take the horse down later.
01:23:07What are you doing?
01:23:08That's Dreamy Joe.
01:23:09We don't care for Seabiscuit.
01:23:10Out he goes.
01:23:11Oh, wait a minute.
01:23:12You can't do this.
01:23:13I got to get your Route 508.
01:23:14We got to get you to the track.
01:23:15Wait a minute.
01:23:16You can't do this.
01:23:17Give me that horse.
01:23:18This is Dreamy Joe.
01:23:19In two seconds, you'll be dreamier than he is.
01:23:21Oh, no.
01:23:22No.
01:23:23Wait.
01:23:24Stop that.
01:23:25Oh, foul.
01:23:26What's going on here?
01:23:27He's a lunatic.
01:23:28I know this man.
01:23:29I'll take full responsibility.
01:23:30Of course he knows me.
01:23:31This is Dreamy Joe.
01:23:32Oh, you bunch of quacks.
01:23:33Come on, baby.
01:23:34Come on, boy.
01:23:36That's Dreamy Joe.
01:23:37That's Dreamy Joe.
01:23:39Come on, boy.
01:23:40Come on.
01:23:46We've done everything we can.
01:23:55Sorrowful.
01:23:59Shorts.
01:24:03Shorts.
01:24:04Look who's here.
01:24:08Martha Jane.
01:24:10Shorts.
01:24:12Look, Dreamy Joe.
01:24:14He came to see you.
01:24:26Well, we tried.
01:24:37Hey.
01:24:54Mr. Sorrowful.
01:24:57Dreamy Joe.
01:25:00I couldn't keep him away.
01:25:02He kept asking for you.
01:25:07I think you could leave the rest to me.
01:25:22I don't have to ask. I can read your chart out of your faces.
01:25:25She's got to be all right. Sorrowful brought her the best medicine in the world.
01:25:29As soon as she's up and around, I'll take over.
01:25:33You mean the orphanage routine?
01:25:35I guarantee the best. You can bow out gracefully.
01:25:38I'll scout around for some nice couple to adopt her.
01:25:42Hey, would you mind holding the horse a minute, Mr. Reardon?
01:25:45Come.
01:25:47What's the matter, Sorrowful?
01:25:51You can't let shorts fall into the hands of some strange couple.
01:25:54They might be undesirable characters.
01:25:56It would still be an improvement for her.
01:25:58Look, you want to get married, don't you?
01:26:01You've hinted at it often enough.
01:26:03Yes, one of these days.
01:26:05But to a solid citizen, and I don't see any around.
01:26:08Who cares about solid citizens? I'm thinking about shorts.
01:26:11If we don't act fast, she's going to be farmed out from under us.
01:26:14Well, what do you want me to do about it?
01:26:16Well, I'm willing to make a sacrifice. Why can't you?
01:26:19If some couple has to adopt her, how about us?
01:26:22I think that's a very good idea.
01:26:24The first one of us who gets married should definitely adopt her.
01:26:28I mean to each other.
01:26:33Mrs. Sorrowful Jones.
01:26:37Mrs. Sorrowful Jones.
01:26:39Don't you have a real first name?
01:26:45Humphrey.
01:26:49Mrs. Sorrowful Jones.
01:26:53I'm glad we're going home. My feet are killing me.
01:26:55But aren't we going to the police station?
01:26:58Oh, shorts, you can't do it all in one day.
01:27:00We've been to the zoo. We climbed to the top of the Statue of Liberty.
01:27:04We were on the lake in Central Park.
01:27:06Look at these blisters from rowing. See?
01:27:09But you promised, Daddy.
01:27:12Well, Daddy.
01:27:15Okay. What a way to spend a honeymoon.
