At Long Last Love Page #4

Mmm, tough cookie, huh?

You wanna start somethin'?

How about Cot-ton Ball?

Cotton Ball. That's a nice name.

Pays 20-to-1.

I'll take it.

Put that away. You want

to get us all locked up?

It's real.

Put that away!

Look. $300.

No cash. No cash.

Look, kid, I can't take your bet nohow.

I don't know ya.

I'm Brooke Carter. Oh, nice to meet ya.

So long.

Beth.

You better take her bet, wise guy,

if you know what's good for you.

Yeah?

Yeah.

This is... Sleep Out Louie's dame.

Carter?

That's right.

That's right.

Carter. 300. Cotton Ball.

You wanna put it on his nose?

Yeah, yeah.

What?

Are you sure you don't

wanna try Ladies' Day, honey?

Valentino looked awful positive.

You mean positively awful.

That's it, giris.

They're off and running!

Who is Sleep Out Louie?

Beats me.

At the start, it's Chuck-a-luck.

Blue Boy in second.

Jumper is third.

Ladies' Day is drawing up.

Pumpkin Pie and Texas Moon.

It's Chuck-a-luck with the lead.

Blue Boy moving up to second.

They're going into the first turn.

It's Chuck-a-luck in front by a length.

Blue Boy is second.

Jumper is third.

Ladies' Day moving up to fourth.

Pumpkin Pie, Texas Moon

and, at the rear, it's Cotton Ball.

Oh, that Cotton Ball.

That's a nice name.

You bet on Cotton Ball?

We certain-We certainly did,

and he's going to win.

Chuck-a-luck in front by two lengths.

Blue Boy is second.

And Ladies' Day is now

moving up fast on the inside.

Pumpkin Pie, and here comes Cotton Ball.

Where? Where?

Right there.

Going into the far turn,

it's Chuck-a-luck in front.

We hate you. Come on, Cotton Ball!

Move it!

And Ladies' Day is moving up

very fast on the outside.

Turning into the stretch,

it's Chuck-a-luck and Ladies' Day.

They're neck and neck.

Come on, Chuck-amen!

No, it's Ladies' Day.

I'm sure.

It's Chuck-a-luck and Ladies' Day!

And Ladies' Day moves ahead.

It's Ladies' Day by a head!

The winner!

Chuck-a-luck was second.

Pumpkin Pie was fourth.

Jumper was fifth.

Blue Boy in sixth.

And here comes Cotton Ball.

Oh, look at him.

Well, good-bye, ladies.

Tomorrow, everything

will be better.

Well, at least we know

who Sleep Out Louie is.

Who?

Nobody.

Mmm.

Come on, snooks.

We have just enough change

for the subway.

Never been on the subway.

Oh, you'll love it.

Well, folks, there's Cotton Ball.

Guess he was hungry.

Come on, cheer up.

Something will come up.

Maybe we'll hear from your mother.

Fat chance.

Yeah, well, I keep telling you you

gotta be more polite to folks. Hmm.

That guy was probably

some rich Italian count or something.

Would've been a lot smarter than bettin'

on Cotton Ball, being nice to him.

That's a revolting thought.
