Its a good business.

Its all right...

for you, or Mr. Winslow,

or Mr. Early.

They are suited to it,

and I'm not.

I may sound crazy, and maybe

I am but, you strike me the same.

Everything seems lopsided.

Higginsville, the Higgins family...

the Higgins enterprises.

We don't speak the same language.

You're interested only in...

accumulating money, expanding,

bobbling up the little ones.

You've just snatched Acme away

from some poor people.

Hope it makes you happy.

Careful with what you say!

You haven't taken a vacation in 40

years, rotting away in your kingdom.

If thats your idea of high living...

it isn't mine, nor Margarets.

I wouldn't get rid of that

horse for you or anybody else.

Someday you'll take off

your hat to Broadway Bill.

I was broke when I came here, but

we want nothing from Higginsville.

Accept my resignation. I'll

wait for you in the car, Margaret.

You needn't bother.

The meeting's adjourned.

Why shouldn't I applaud him?

He should have gone long ago.

What sort of talk is this?

Your little monarchy

is fast folding up.

Your crown prince is through.

Stop this nonsense!

You're a strong and powerful

ruler, oh mighty king.

But you're not going to

crush him any longer.

Whats the matter with you?

You seem very happy

he's going.

I'm so happy I could shriek.

I could go out on

rooftops and shriek.

I prayed for him every night.

I hope he never sets foot

in Higginsville again.

Oh, father.

Look, look.

I feel 10 years younger.

How you feel?

I'm headed for the last roundup.

The time has arrived.

I'm gonna leave sad times aside.

I'm headed for the last roundup.

Hey, whats up?

Whats up?

She's here, Gallant Lady.

Gallant Lady?

I gotta take a look.

Hello, Dan. Where've you

been all these years?

Hiding under rocks.

Bradshaw, come here.

Where do you think you're going?

Hello, Mike.

Get back there.

I can't bring Gallant Lady

out like this. She's too nervous.

Get off the platform.

Get back, will you?

Officer, do your duty.

Don't tell me what to do.

Okay, Mr. Whitehall.

All right, get her out of here.

The pony first.

Bring her out.

Keep her head down,

watch her feet.

Thats a beautiful animal.

She'll win the Derby.

Make way.

Hello, Mr. Morgan.

Dan Brooks, remember me?

How are you?

Fine, thank you.

Who you betting on?

Gallant Lady, of course.

Don't put your money down

yet, I may have some use for it.

We were betting on Sun Up.

Why not broadcast it?

Don't be a sucker, you

haven't a chance with that horse.

Try some small races first.

I'm coming back in style.

Nobody knows anything about

Broadway Bill, and if he wins...

You don't believe he can

beat Gallant Lady, do you?
