do everything.

I will let you have not only

two fish, but fifty fish.

Take their marker

on Dream Prince for $50.

Go on and write that marker,

because I'm gonna faint.

And I'm very sensitive

about it.

Let me speak

with Bennie, the Gouge.

- Hello?

- The $50 you won on Cold Cuts,

I just won from

your two fighters.

You won't have to pay them

tonight, so that makes us even.

It's a gift. A horse ain't

even gone to the post yet,

and the result is in

and the bets is copped.

I know you.

You are the Black Knight.

Oh, go on, child.

I'm black day and night.

Where's your charger?

Huh?

The one with the white spot

and pointed ears.

Huh?

- I'm the princess.

- Yes, Madam Princess.

And now for the last race

at Ascot.

All right, boys.

Here it comes.

They're off! Dream Prince is still

out in front. Come on, Dream Prince.

Come Easy

is right on his tail.

Bingo is trying hard

for second place.

Where are they now?

Ascot.

Dainty Foot is breaking the

field, comin' up on the outside.

At the three-quarter,

Dainty Foot is comin' fast.

Dream Prince is still leading. The

jockey is givin' him plenty of whip.

They're goin'

into the stretch.

They're neck and neck!

They're nose to nose.

It's a close finish.

Here comes the winner.

Dainty Foot wins.

Aw, that tip cost me

two bucks.

Bingo, second.

Come Easy, third.

Big Steve lost 10,000.

Baloney, I tell ya!

Dream Prince lost.

Here's the marker you

took for that kid. Yeah.

Say, Dizzy. When that guy

comes back for the little doll,

don't you turn her over to him

until you get that 20 bucks.

Yes, sir.

But she's gone, Boss.

Sneaked her out, eh?

That serves me right.

Every time I get bighearted...

When was the other time? No wisecracks.

Why didn't you watch her? Am

I also a nursemaid around here?

What'd you take

the marker for anyway?

I don't know. The little doll

bluffed me into it, I guess.

If you ever get through sweepin', lock

up the joint and go home. Yes, sir.

My goodness. She stay upstairs

in my restaurant all afternoon.

Eat two time

chop suey... free!

What are you doing,

Black Knight?

I done thought your pappy come

got you. Maybe he forgot me.

Does he go around

forgettin' you?

He forgot me once at the circus, and

they arrested the man that found me.

can make me d
