Broadway Bill Page #4

Why not?

In his first race?

I know what he can do.

How much is the entry?

I give up.

You must have rapped your

senses in paper boxes.

$500.

Its a $25,000 race.

Thats cheap enough.

You make out the check?

Now?

You can do it the day before

the race, its in 2 weeks.

Yes, I'm having funds transferred.

You've got to nominate him before

6 o'clock, today.

How much?

$50.

50?

I'll be right back.

How much money you got?

Money?

Yeah, bring it out.

You've come to the wrong place.

I got this one, sad and

lonesome dollar.

I'm short 5. Bring it up.

$5?

Yes.

I'm the poorest man you

ever did see.

See that?

If there's any money there,

I'd be surprised.

Bless my soul!

Thats what I say.

Hey, boot, you ain't my

pocketbook no more.

Your receipt.

Thanks.

How about a stable?

I had one left and just gave

it to Gallant Lady.

Whitehall insisted on

having it to himself.

He'd take Gallant Lady

out of the race if...

Without Gallant Lady you

wouldn't have an attraction.

Thats it.

Go over and see Pop Jones.

He hangs out around the warehouse.

He's got an old barn.

Okay, thanks.

I'm awfully sorry.

Broadway Bill's been brought

up in a barn all his life.

Good luck.

Thanks.

What do we eat with? When I

get hungry, I get hungry.

When you're hungry, eat.

Can't go without food.

Ain't gonna do my stomach no good.

Where we get the money

to buy it with?

We'll have to rely on the

old man with the whiskers.

Who that?

A miracle man.

When he puts his arm around

you, you're troubles are over.

A good man to meet up with.

Looks all right, Pop.

We've had some pretty

fine horses here.

Yeah?

Who's the feed man here?

Hey?

The feed man?

Feed man?

Yes.

Right here.

I want a supply of

stuff sent in.

Some oats, bran, barley,

carrots and...

about 10 pounds of salt.

For cash or credit?

What do you mean?

Don't you trust me?

I don't know you...

I settle all my bills

at the end of the week.

I need cash...

And a couple of cots, Pop.

Hey?

A couple of cots.

Cots?

Something you sleep on.

To sleep here?

You don't think...?

You don't know it, but there's

the winner of the Derby.

Think I'll let him stay

by himself?

I'll show you how you can

clean up a bankroll.

That horse is a sleeper.

A what?

A sleeper.

You want a cot for the horse too?

You hear Pop?

You're quite a kidder.

Come on, its feeding time.

Whitey.

Yes?

We gotta get to the bank

and make that deposit.

Thats for sure.

You still here?

We got to get that feed in.

Hurry up.

How was that?

He fell like a log.

A little slow though.

See his eyes?

The old man with the whiskers

is working already.

Mr. Brooks!

Them clothes sure is elegant.
