- Master code, master code, plain code.

- Get your ice cream...

...tootsie-fruitsie.

Get your tootsie-fruitsie...

"Z-V-B-X-R-P-L. The letter Z stands for J

unless the horse is a filly. "

- Get your tootsie-fruitsie...

- Hey, tootsie-fruitsie.

- Is the horse a filly?

- Don't know. Look in your breeder's guide.

Get your ice cream...

What do you mean?

I haven't got any breeder's guide.

You haven't got a breeder's guide?

Not so loud. I don't want it to get around

that I haven't got a breeder's guide.

Even my best friends don't know

I haven't got a breeder's guide.

Well, boss, I feel pretty sorry for you,

walking around without a breeder's guide.

Why, you're just throwing

your money away...

...buying those other books

without a breeder's guide.

Where can I get one?

As though I didn't know.

One is no good.

You got to have the whole set.

Get your tootsie-fruitsie...

You know, all I wanted was a horse,

not a public library.

- What do you mean? How much is a set?

- One dollar.

- One dollar?

- Yeah. Four for $5.

Give me the four of them.

There's no use throwing away money.

All right, here you are.

This is all I'm buying too.

I didn't want so many...

- I thought you could do this quickly.

- There you are.

Six dollars on Sun-Up.

- Get your tootsie-fruitsie ice cream.

- Breeder's guide.

Get your ice cream.

- "Z-V-B-X-R-P-L is Burns. "

- Yeah, that's right.

- Burns?

- Yeah.

Some days it gives you the name

of the jockey instead of the horse.

You find out who jockey Burns is riding,

and that's the horse you bet on. It's easy.

Get your ice cream, tootsie-fruitsie.

I'm getting the idea of it.

I didn't get it for a long time.

It's pretty tricky when you don't

know it, isn't it?

It's not that book.

- It's not that book.

- It's not that book?

Oh, I see.

No. It's not that book.

Not that book.

- Nope. Nope. It's not that book.

- It's not?

No, you haven't got that book.

You've got it, huh?

I'll get it in a minute, though, won't I?

Get your tootsie-fruitsie.

I'm getting a fine tootsie-fruitsying

right here.

Get your ice cream.

- How much is it?

- One dollar.

- And it's the last book I'm buying.

- Sure, you don't need no more. Here.

Now, here's a...

Here's a $ 10 bill.

- Shoot the change, will you?

- I got no change.

I'll have to give you nine more books.

You don't mind.

- You take nine more books.

- Nine more?

- You don't handle any bookcases, do you?

- Well, you come tomorrow again.

- I didn't know that you needed...

- You're gonna win today.

I thought you just walk up

and bet on a horse.

- Open!

- Am I shedding books down there?

Close! Close! That's it.

It's a good thing I brought
