- Huh?

- Is Mr. Brooks ready yet?

Not quite.

The name is Clarence White.

Wort say that rivers flow

Or day turns to night

But, darling

I'd say we've got a sure thing

All right

Wort say it's winter

When snow falls from above

But, darling

It's a sure thing we're

In love

- Maggie!

- Darling!

Come here.

We'll never get to the meeting this way.

Come on, slowpoke.

Wait a minute.

Not so fast, me proud beauty.

What's your hurry?

What's the rush?

Anybody ever tell you you're

the most beautiful girl in the world?

Just the world?

I'll include all the available planets,

the stratosphere, the outer space,

New York, New Haven and Hartford,

leaving on track five.

- That's better.

- Here.

- Come on.

- What's the hurry?

Come on, darling.

I may not be the most beautiful,

but I'm the happiest girl in the world.

The invitations were mailed today,

and you should see my dress.

- A stunner?

- Only three weeks more, darling.

The wedding will be the biggest thing

since Texas joined the Union.

- That was a big day.

- Good heavens!

- Even your dinner jacket smells horsy!

- What?

What do you use,

Equine No. 5?

You know he worked

a mile in 1:
42 today?

- Who?

- Broadway Bill!

And with Whitey on him too.

Just sitting there, looking and cooking.

Why don't you come out

the next time he works.

I'll bet if you knew him,

you'd love him.

Oh, I like horses, all right.

Especially when they're racing.

- Didrt I meet you at the track?

- That's what you did.

Remember, when I leaned over

and asked you if you had a winner?

Oh, and I had a winner too. You.

- Ready?

- Sure, I'm ready. Flashy.

What kind of socks

are you wearing this time?

What difference does it make?

Dan, you've got to change them.

Quickly, where are the black ones?

They'll be under the table

all night anyhow.

If you got to know

Broadway Bill personally,

I'll bet you'd be crazy about him.

Did I ever tell you about his mother?

- She was blind, you know?

- Blind?

Yeah, stone-blind.

Beautifully bred mare, though.

Put those on, and hurry.

She had quite a problem

when the little colt arrived.

Naturally, she wanted to be near him,

but she couldn't,

because she couldn't find him.

It was pitiful to watch her.

She'd start in a little circle, and

the circle would get larger and larger.

She'd cover every foot of that field,

but that little rascal, he'd just stay

a step ahead of her all the time.

She couldn't reach him, and at night,

boy, at night,

what a ruckus she'd raise!

I'd have to get up, find Broadway Bill,

take him in to her. But I licked it.

You know what I did? I got a bell.

An ordinary dinner bell.

I tied it around his neck.
