I should have plugged that nag

when I owned him.

Please, Mr. Morgan,

don't stay here.

Calm down. He's gone now.

That's a boy.

You better stay out of Morgan's way

for a while.

Get your ice cream.

Get your tootsie-fruitsie ice cream.

Stuffy!

Hey, get out of there.

Hey, that was some ride

you put up.

I had 5 bucks right

on the nose.

I won 60 cents. Yeah.

Who you riding tomorrow?

What's the matter? What happened?

You're fired?

Oh, Morgan fired you, huh?

- He wanted you to throw the race?

- He wanted Stuffy to be crooked, eh?

You know he's honest.

He's honest, but you gotta

watch him a little.

Gil, why don't you give Stuffy a job.

Let him ride Hi Hat.

We can't afford a jockey. We haven't

enough money to eat on ourselves.

Eat, eat, eat. All the time eat.

We don't have to eat. I'll eat.

- Hey, you.

- Hello, sheriff.

- Have you got the money for the feed bill?

- You see...

You guys have been stalling me

for weeks.

Either I get some money right now,

or I'm taking Hi Hat.

Wait, wait.

I'll give you some money.

There you are.

Five dollars? That's not enough.

Come on. Well?

All right, all right.

I've got some more. Just...

There you are.

That makes 10. Chicken feed.

Come on, you've got some more.

Yeah, but it's hard to get at,

you know?

- Come on, come on.

- All right. Don't hurry.

I've got it someplace.

I know it's someplace.

Here. I knew it was someplace.

Well, that's 15.

Have you got any more?

- I'll let you know in a minute.

- Quit stalling. Come on, hurry.

All right, I've got some more,

but I can't hurry.

Hey, what are you doing? Cut it...

Get up. What is this? Cut it...

What are you trying to do?

Get up.

Here! Come back here!

Well, that's fine. Now we owe

the sheriff $ 120 and a sock.

It's a good thing Judy doesn't have

to depend on me.

- I can't even hold on to the horse.

- No? Well, we hold on to the horse.

Say, if we only had some dough.

I got a tip on Sun-Up.

Sun-Up? He's in the next race!

We don't got much time!

Hey, wait! What are we gonna use

for money?

Hey! What are you doing,

you crazy kook, you?

Hey, look, look!

Sun-Up, he's 10-to-1.

Oh, boy, are we gonna clean up,

10-to-1.

- We haven't any money to bet.

- Don't worry. I get us some money.

I find a sucker someplace.

Scram. I think I see a sucker coming now.

Get out of here.

Get your ice cream.

Two dollars on Sun-Up.

Hey. Hey, boss. Boss, come here.

You want something hot?

Not now. I just had lunch.

Anyhow, I don't like hot ice cream.

Hey, come here. I no sell ice cream.

That's fake to fool the police.

I sell tips on the horses. I got something

today can't lose. One dollar.

No. Some other time. I'm sorry.
