Seventy-five thousand...

All right, Robert, all right.

You better call the bonding company.

Have them investigate every employee.

Find out if anybody is living

beyond their means.

Speculating in the market, gambling or...

What a parlay. You're in the money, kid.

- You're in the money.

- There you are, son.

Your original 5 plus 25.

That makes 30,000.

Dollars?

Don't answer it.

- Scotty?

- Don't talk to him.

- Got it.

- Ignore him.

You're a pal, Scotty.

Stick with it. You bring me luck.

You got the golden touch.

I'll touch a dozen eggs for you tomorrow,

but I don't wanna bet any more now.

Yeah. We're shooting the roll

on Marcy Ford's Beetle.

- No.

- Take the line price.

- No, no.

- Yeah, this is it.

Seventy thousand for me

and 30,000 for my friend.

No, don't listen to him, no.

When I get through with Sloane,

I'll put a jockey on his back and ride him.

- No, no.

Sit down, kid.

If this comes in, you're loaded.

If it doesn't, I'll go out and get loaded.

- Relax.

They're off.

Fair Dealing is going to the front.

Sudden Riches is second.

Magilla moving up to third. Now

Sudden Riches moving up to the outside.

It's a boat race. Your horse is in.

At the half, it's Sudden Riches

taking the lead and drawing clear.

- Come on, Sudden Riches.

- You didn't bet on Sudden Riches.

- I didn't bet on?

- Into the far turn, there goes Magilla.

He's neck and neck with Sudden Riches.

Now it's Magilla in the lead.

- Come on, Magilla, come on.

- Not that plug.

And coming fast is Johnny-Come-Lately.

Finds racing room

on the inside and gets through.

Come on, J... Am I getting any warmer?

Then which horse am I betting on?

It's a driving finish.

Four noses on the wire, and it's Soris.

Soris wins it by a nose.

Soris.

What a horse.

Thirty-eight, 39, 40,000.

It's all the cash I have on hand, kid.

Drop by tomorrow for the other 20.

You mean I won?

This is all true? It's really happening?

Did you hear what he said?

It's happening.

We're gonna get married now.

Don't you understand?

Oh, that's wonderful. Thank you, mister.

I'll see you tomorrow. Thank you.

Wow! Now we can get a place of our own.

We'll have cows and horses...

...and chickens and quadruplets.

Wait till I tell Mibs.

Just wait till I tell Mibs.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

Thank you.

You're wonderful.

There really is a Santa Claus.

Hey, Emil. Emil.

Oh, I beg your pardon. Emil.

- Look.

- Johnny, you've robbed the bank.

Congratulations. I'll hide you in the kitchen.

As soon as it gets dark, head for the border.

Listen to me.

The first thing you gotta do

is blow town until this cools off.
