be careful,
because there just isn't any more space.
And now get out of here
before I lose my temper!
Aye aye, sir.
- And you too!
- Yes, sir.
As fine a bred animal
as I have been associated with
in my many years of labouring
for the improvement of the breed.
I recognise the horse by his four feet,
but who are you?
- Mr Garvey's gonna train Little Aaron.
- To swindle sailors?
And for this you had to tie him up.
Were you afraid of losing him?
- Everybody's after Mr Garvey.
- That I can believe.
I wouldn't have done it
only on account of Aunt Gussie.
- By a singular coincidence...
- You know his Aunt Gussie. Didn't we all?
...er, we were childhood sweethearts.
- You see? What did I tell you?
Whose sweetheart was he?
- He's the jockey.
- Skeezer by name.
- Pleased to meet you.
- You ever ride, or were you just appointed?
I rode better nags than that one.
That I can believe.
He's Little Aaron's mascot.
They call him the Pearl.
Every horse has a mascot, like a battleship.
The horse won't do a thing without him.
Insisted on coming along.
- That's enough, boy.
- His feet are sore!
Ah! The boy exaggerates.
You know they're sore. He can hardly walk.
That's why he lost all them races.
- He got bad ankles.
- Hear that? Can't even walk.
He can walk. How do you think he got here?
At least we won't have to carry him back.
Looks like we got stuck with a pot of glue.
Maybe we can sell him to the Post Office.
Benny, don't even say that!
How would you like to be turned into glue
and pasted all over things?
- Make me an offer.
- Don't despair, friend,
there are ways to make
an indecent penny with a racing horse.
His ankles get better if you don't
run him. He needs a rest, that's all.
He was born sickly cos he was twins.
- Twins?
- There's another horse just like him?
Yes, sir. I was there when he was born.
My pappy worked for Pop Sweet,
he's dead now,
and Mr Cedric -
he bought all Pop Sweet's horses.
Little Aaron here, he was born twins.
- Are you sure about this, boy?
- Uh-huh.
Miss Jane - that's Pop
Sweet's little girl -
she took the other horse away and kept him.
Do you realise what this means,
brother Benny?
Two horses that look alike
are fraught with possibilities.
This may be greater than the discovery
of gold in California.
I don't get it. First you turn him
into glue, then you turn him into gold.
I didn't know they made gold out of horses.
Easiest thing in the world, son,
especially when they're twins.
Know where to find Pop Sweet's little girl?
She works at one of them drive-ins
waiting on automobiles.
That's her.
- You said she was a little girl.
