Hi, Martha.

Hello, Dave.
Hi.

Swell morning, huh?

Sure is.

Hello, Mother.

Hello, Mother, my eye!

I suppose it'll never
mean a thing to you

that when you say
you want supper at 6:00

I expect you to
be here to eat it.

Well, I had to
work overtime.

Fellow came in late with
a brake relining job and...

Oh, quit touching that pot
before you burn yourself!

Oh, pot roast.

Why don't you make
some macaroni?

Because as long
as I'm cooking,

we'll eat
for our health
around here.

You know,
macaroni makes Joe fat.

Yeah?
It's not macaroni,
it's lack of work.

Hi, Dave.
Hi, Mike.

Hello, Mom.

Yeah, and what are you
doing lately,
going to night school?

Don't touch that pot!

Ouch!

Joe's favorite.

Why don't we ever
have hot dogs?

You know I love hot dogs
like my own life.

Take off your hat.

What were you doing?
Why were you late?

Oh, I was studying
at the library.

Studying what?

Oh. Uh...

About the world
and stuff like that,
you know.

Hiya, men.

Hi, Joe.
Hi, Joe.

Hello, Mom.

Where were you?
Looking for a job.

Yeah, at the poolroom.

Don't touch that!

Well, fill my mouth.
Pot roast.

Sit down
before the whole dinner
dries up and blows away.

If we don't get
a little more order
around here,

I'll never cook another bite,
so help me, not another bite.

Same day you night owls
will come home and find me

lying on a chaise lounge
eating chocolates.

Where are you going?
Ketchup.

Get the chili sauce
while you're up.

Bring the mustard,
too, Michael.
I already got it.

What's the use of
cooking a decent meal

and watching
a bunch of idiots
splatter it with junk?

Take some of that
cauliflower, Michael.

Aw, Ma, it smells
like old laundry.

I said take
some cauliflower.

I saw you driving
Martha home today,
not saying a word.

You were driving along
as stiff as a poker.

Pass the rolls.

If I had a little number
like that dogging my tracks
for three years,

I'd really
give myself up.

Joseph!

You keep your yap
shut about Martha.

What's the matter
with you?

All I keep saying is,
why don't you marry
the gal?

That's my business.

Uh, who'll have
some butter?

As a matter of fact,
it isn't my business.

You know darned well
why I don't marry Martha.

Because you haven't got
enough vinegar to pitch in

and help keep
this family going.

How do you
mean vinegar?

Listen, can I help it
if there's nothing in this
burg for a guy with ideas?

What ideas?

Outsmarting some chump
at the pool hall
for a couple of bucks?

Or swapping
the shirt off your back
for a brass doorknob?

All right, go ahead,
razz me all you want
about swapping.

But you can't show me
a big man in this
country today

who didn't get where he is
by swapping something for...
For something.

Or something.

Dave, you shouldn't
lay into Joe that way.

Why don't you go ahead
and do what he tells you?

Sure, get married,

and then have you
find out you can't
take care of yourself

after I think I'm set!

No, thanks.

But what I was...
Let's quit talking about it.

Well, I'm only trying to
tell you what I did
this afternoon.

What?

Well, I got us a job
singing at a dance
at Pleasanton.

Oh.

Singing?
Mmm-hmm.

How many times do I have
to tell you I don't want
any more of that trio stuff?

Well, it's a job,
isn't it?

Is that the only
kind of job you can get?

One where you have
to drag Mike and me
in on it?

All right, I don't like it
any more than you do.

But what am I gonna say
when a man offers us $10?

Yes. What should
he say to that?

My own brother.

Well, look. I work
in a garage, see?

I've got a decent job
and I like it,

and if you expect me
to spend my nights
yapping about

violets and moonlight
and blowing my lungs out

while a bunch of
screwballs bounce around
a dance floor, you...

I'm a man, doggone it,
and I want to stay one.

Right. I build up
a tough reputation

working out horses
at the fair grounds
every summer,

and then bang!

You turn me
into a Buster Brown.

Sit down.

Well, I know how you feel.
You feel the same way
as I do, but...

I wish your father
were alive.

He'd turn
all three of you
across his knee

and whale
the daylights
out of you.

After I've spent
every last cent he left us
teaching you music,

you go around blabbing
you won't sing
because you're men!

What's the matter
with you? Men sing.

Well, if they're
that kind of fellows,
let them.

I tell you,
I'm not going to
sing another lick.

That suits me fine.
The whole thing is off.

Now, get this straight,
all of you.

As long as you can
earn a nickel

opening your traps,
you're going to do it.

I'm no millionaire

But I'm not
the type to care

'Cause I've got
a pocketful of dreams

It's my universe

Even with my empty purse

'Cause I've got
a pocketful of dreams

I wouldn't trade
all the wealth of Wall Street

For a road
where nature trods

And I calculate
that I'm worth my weight

In goldenrods

Lucky, lucky me
I can live in luxury

'Cause I've got
a pocketful of dreams

I'm no millionaire
Oh, sing it

But I'm not
the type to care

'Cause I've got
a pocketful of dreams

Wonderful dreams

It's my universe

Even with an empty purse

'Cause I've got
a pocketful of

I've got a pocketful
of beautiful dreams

I wouldn't take
the wealth on Wall Street

For a road
where nature trods

And I calculate
that I'm worth my weight

Mmm, in goldenrods

Lucky, lucky me

I can live in luxury

Though I'm not
a millionaire
I'll never, never care

'Cause I've got
a pocketful of dreams

Woop, low bridge.

Oh, pick it!

Mmm, in goldenrods

Lucky, lucky me

I'm shooting
those sevens
I can live in luxury

'Cause I've got
a pocketful of

The grandest, the sweetest
The cutest, the neatest

I got to tell you
got a pocketful of

A one, a two

Got me a pocketful
of beautiful dreams

My own brother.

Let's see, now.
Figuring you
as the front door.

We'll want
a little entrance hall

so we don't
walk right into
the living room.

Dining room
on the left, huh?

We could get along
with just a breakfast room.

I mean, if we decide
on two bedrooms.

Two?
Uh-huh.

Oh, well,
the kid's room
can be little,

because he'll probably
bang it up anyway.

She won't
if she's a girl.

Girl?
Mmm-hmm.

I never
thought of that.

Well, don't let it
bother you.

Now, how are we
going to furnish
the living room?

A radio...

A girl, huh?

Oh. Uh, yeah.
A radio...

A chair.
Chair.

Big window.

Yes.

Chair.

I think a table
will be good here.

Table.

Chair here, though, huh?

Fireplace.

Nice size so you can
light a match in it
without smoking up the joint.

Another chair.

Oh, hey, wait a minute.
That's three chairs already.

Oh, well,
we can kind of fake it

with a couple of those
little straight things
nobody ever sits in.

And on this side we've
got to work it out to

leave room for a sofa
I can really lie on.

None of that cheap,
stubby junk

that feels like
it's stuffed
with doughnuts.

Let's spend
a couple of extra bucks
for the sofa, huh?

Sure, so those feet of yours
won't be sticking out
over the end.

Yeah.

You're an expensive
proposition,
do you know it?

Ah, this is perfect
right here.

Stretch out
and face the big window

so you can get
a load of the neighbors,

or roll over and bat off
a couple of hours
on a Sunday afternoon.

Ah, what a life!

This will be the first
real home I've ever had,

and I want it to be
clean and cheerful

so that people
coming into it
from the outside

will know right away
that we're happy.

Well, my den can
be a little dirty,
can't it?

Not dirty,
but my fishing stuff
and magazines and things.

I mean, me being
a garage mechanic...

The den's all yours.

And your kitchen.
I was thinking
the other day

about a kind of
a regular menu
we could have.

Not one that
you'd have to stick to
all the time, of course,

but so a fellow
could figure, say,
on Tuesdays and Thursdays

he's coming home
to a good-sized
bowl of macaroni.

Fair enough.
Tuesdays and Thursdays.

With tomatoes
and lots of cheese mixed in,
and more on the top.

Not the kind
you get in restaurants

that tastes like
a slab of wallpaper paste.

You can ask Mother
how she does it.

I suppose
I'll have to ask her
a lot of things about you.

What you like
and what bothers you.

A husband's different
than a man
who's on his guard.

Not me. I'm the same
weekdays and Sundays.

I wish we were
building now.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You know what I'd do
if I had any brains?

I'd haul right out
and get married
and say to Joe,

"Okay, the vacation's over.

"It's your family
to take care of now.

"What are you going
to do about it?"

That's the way
to settle something
that hasn't any answer.

Even Joe himself
tells me that...

But you can't do that
to your own family.

Of course, I've never had
a family to worry about,

but that's why
I'm waiting, Dave.

A man who feels that way
is worth waiting for.

Doggone it!
I want to get married.

All right,
what are you
looking at?

Go on, you peeping Toms!

We'll have a drape
on that window, too.

Hey, there!

Hey, don't you
ever quit?

Nah, this job won't be
finished for hours

and I promised it
for the first thing
in the morning.

Well, Mom sent over
some sandwiches
and some hot coffee

and said to eat 'em
right away.

Put 'em over
on the bench, huh?
All right.

Hey, how late is it?

Oh, it must be about...

I don't know.
I swapped myself
out of the time.

What are you
doing tonight?

Oh, I figured I'd see
what's doing around. Why?

How'd you like
to take Martha out?
What?

I got a couple of tickets,
and she's expecting to go.

Oh, you're getting generous
with your little girlfriend,
aren't you?

Well, if you can't trust
your own brother...

What do you say?
Why, sure.

If you're willing to
let her go out with me,
why should I squawk?

Got the tickets, too, huh?

What show's
in town, Dave?

None.

Her club's sponsoring
a lecture at the
high school auditorium

about seals.

Seals? Aw, no!

I'll call her
and tell her
you'll pick her up.

No, no. Now,
wait a minute, Dave.

I said I'll call her
and tell her you'll
pick her up.

Seals.

Here we headed into port
and took on provisions,

including dried meats, fish,

canned goods galore,

and even a few
native tidbits.

Then heave-ho,
and off to further
adventure,

with gay recklessness
in our hearts and a song
in our merry throats.

I stood on deck
that first night

puffing my faithful pipe,

looking off at the sea
and wondering what next
would befall me.

In the morning
we passed close
to a small island,

and there,

sunning himself on a rock,

was a small seal.

Now, a seal,
as you no doubt know,

is a marine
carnivorous mammal

with a decided
liking for fish.

I tossed him one
from our live bait box,

and he gobbled it down,
setting up a happy clatter
with his flippers,

like this.

And uttering
his weird bark,
like this.

I took the little fellow
to my heart immediately,

and after much deliberation
I decided to call him Ronald.

All right, tell me
what a wonderful
time you had.

Oh, what a night.

You and Dave
go to many of
those things?

Quite a few.

There aren't very many
places to go.

Of course,
when we're married...

When we're married.

I know. I know.
As soon as I get a job
and hold it.

Why don't you?
You could.

It's just not my style.

When money comes my way,
it's going to come
fast and plenty.

You wait.

I am.

I'm not exactly
on your side at that.

It's too bad
you aren't my girl.

What?

I wouldn't
worry about the family
until after the wedding.

Then I'd have you
and nothing else
would matter, anyway.

I wish Dave felt that way.

I mean, sometimes I do.

But unfortunately
you're not my lily.

Except for tonight.

We can't stop here.
I'm supposed to be home.

Oh, just for a minute.

I want to get
the taste of that seal
out of my mouth.

But I don't even
come here with David.

Oh, all the more reason
why you should see it.

Do you think
Dave would mind?

Why should he squawk?
It's only his girl
and his money.

Leave your keys, please.

Right. They're in there.

Where do
all these people
come from?

They come from
some of our
finest families.

Well, practically.

Well, here's to
your night out.

I still say
we shouldn't be here.

What's wrong with this?
It's quiet and restful.

Don't you think?

Folks! Folks! Folks!

I really think that
with a little bit
of applause

we might be able
to bring about

a little bit of
extra added attraction
here tonight.

Now, sitting over there
is that Stokesbury flash
his self, Master Joe Beebe.

Come on, Joe.
How about it?

Oh, for the love of...

Go on.

All right, for you.

But I'll hold it
against you.

Thanks, Mouse.

What'll it be?

Well, let's take a whack at
Don't Let That Moon Get Away.

Wait for me
on the curves.

One, two...

It's one of
those nights for adventure

We ought to be
recklessly gay

Who knows what we'll find

So if you're inclined

Don't let that moon get away

Your eyes have a way
of revealing

The thoughts that
you really should say

It may be romance

So while there's a chance

Don't let that moon get away

Don't let this
meeting adjourn

And don't be
so ready to go

For now is the right time
to learn

What every young heart
should know

These moments
don't happen so often

It doesn't seem right
to delay

If you feel it, too

Whatever you do

Don't let that moon get away

Hey, wait for me.

One of those nights
for adventure

Ought to be
recklessly gay

Who knows what we'll find
So if you're inclined

Professor, could you
play me a waltz?

Oh!

Don't get hurt, now.

Thank you.

Moments don't
happen so often

It doesn't seem
right to delay

If you feel it, too

Whatever you do

Don't let that moon get away

Thanks a lot, Joe,
you little cut-up.

And now,
ladies and gentlemen,

now that
the floor is cleared,

let's pick it up
where we left off.

A wee bit
of schottische, boys.
A wee bit of schottische.

One, a two...

Who ordered these?

Compliments
of the bartender.

Thanks, partner.

I can't drink this.

Oh, you have to.

Compliments
of the bartender.

Now what?

Compliments of
the band leader.

And there's
another round coming up
from one of the customers.

Oh, my!

Well, I'm beginning
to see where music
has its good points.

Hey, ask Joe to
sing some more, huh?

Some more?
Yeah.

Hey, Joe,
they want some more.

How about
a second helping, huh?

What every
young heart should know

Moments don't
happen so often

It doesn't seem
right to delay

If you feel it, too
Whatever you do

Well, what's funny?

You.

For a fellow who hates music,
do you know how many times
you sang?

Those were for you.
Oh.

As a matter of fact,
if you weren't Dave's girl,
I'd tell you I love you.

Hey, watch the road.

Did you hear
what I said?

I'd tell you I love you.

You don't love me,
you're just feeling good.

It's the same thing.

How do you feel?

Fine. A little excited.

That's love.

It is not.

It's compliments
of the house.

I'll bet we'd get along
like a million dollars.

What do you like
that Dave for, anyway?

I don't know.
Lots of reasons,
I guess.

Well, you'd better
think me over.
I'm a lot of laughs.

You!

You see there? I haven't
really opened my mouth yet
and I'm a riot.

Yoo-hoo! Ride 'em.

Ollie ollie oxen free!

One-two-three-four-five-six.
Beef steak! Yoo-hoo!

Hiya, pappy!

I fooled you
that time, didn't I?

You thought I was
going right on past.

But old jo-jo-eyed Joe
never misses.
No, sir, indeed.

Hello, Dave.

Where were you?

Why, we were
taking in the sights.

I was showing the
little woman what she's
missing by marrying you.

You're drunk.
He didn't buy
the drinks, Dave.

They just kept
giving them to him
and asking him to sing.

All right, I'm lit.
And I took your girl out

and I showed her
the first good time
she's had

since she started
going with you. So what?

If you weren't
my brother, I...

Yeah, you're
America's big brother!

Honest, hard working,
and stupid as a duck.

Why don't you get
wise to yourself,
you big chump?

Dave!

Oh, I didn't
mean to do that.

All at once I...
Go on inside.
I'll see you tomorrow.

He didn't realize
what he was saying.

I know. Go on in
and I'll take him home.
Good night.

Good night.

You should've
hit me harder.

Why didn't you
hit me harder?

You know what I'd do
with a guy like me, Dave?

I'd prop him up against
the wall, I'd shove my fist
right through his face.

Why didn't you
hit me harder, Dave?

Now, be quiet.
Whatever you do,
don't wake anybody up.

I'm telling you.
You really should've...

Shut up!

I can't see anything.

The stairs are
right over here.
Now, be careful.

I missed that one.

Who's there?

It's just Joe and me, Mom.
Go back to sleep.

Well, why don't you
turn on the lights?

We're already
halfway up.

Good night, Mom.

Joe,
did you catch a cold?

No, I'm all right, Mom.
Good night.

Good night.

I'm telling you,
you really...
Shut up.

Mike,
get out of here.

What happened to you, Joe?
What's the matter?

I got what was
coming to me,
that's all.

Now, beat it. Go on.

Did somebody slug you?
Are you okay, Joe?

Mike, get out of here
before you wake Mother
up again.

But he's in trouble,
ain't he?
I got to help.

We don't need you, Mike.
Now, go on. Get!

Go on.

But, Joe...

Dave, sometimes
I turn into such a heel,

I surprise even myself.

Do you know what I was
trying to do tonight?

Move in on your gal.

How do you like that?

Give me your foot.

I'm glad
you clunked me, Dave.

And you don't have
to worry about Martha.

Boy, she's all for you.

And I'm all
for both of you.

Give me
your other foot.

You think I'm no good,

but I'm going to
surprise you.

I'm going to fix it
so you can marry Martha.
You watch me, Dave.

You know, when I think
of what you've done
for me and this family,

never squawking
unless somebody gets
way out of line.

You're the kind of fella
I wanna be, Dave.

You know that, Dave?

You just watch, Dave.

Yeah, I know. Come on,
get under the covers.

Did I tell you
about my surprise, Dave?

Did I tell you?

Yeah, you told me.
Good night.

Mmm. Good night.

Good night, Joe.

Hi, Mr. Burkee.

Morning, Joe.
What brings you out
before noon?

I'm looking for a job.

You and who else?

No. No kidding, Mr. Burkee,
I've been thinking
about it plenty.

I've got some ideas
that'll double
your business.

That's nice.

Now, lookit.
Say, for instance,

you're clearing
$30 a week here.

Twenty.
Well, make it 20 then.

Now, if I come
to work for you,

and your profit jumps
to $60 a week,

would you be willing
to pay me 25 of that?

Naturally.
But you can't do it.
Not in this town.

Well, won't you
let me prove it?

If I don't,
it won't cost you
a cent.

Joe, frankly speaking,
you ain't the guy I'd look to
for a business boom.

What's come
over you, anyhow?

Well, I finally got wise
to the fact that I've been
wasting a lot of energy

trying to keep
from doing something.

But I'm going to
give you first chance
to collect on me

when I really start
going to town.

Won't you give me
a chance, Mr. Burkee?
Come on.

It won't cost you
a cent if I'm wrong.

I've really got
to get started.

Hello?

Oh, Joe.

No!

Really, Joe?

Yes, of course
I'll tell him.

And I'm doing
great so far.

Well, Mr. Burkee,
he went home to take a nap
and left me in charge.

I know
it's tough to believe, Mom,
but I've finally got a job.

Oh, here comes
another customer.
I'll see you tonight.

Goodbye, Mom.

Oh, Joe...

Joe with a job!

Get off that table.

Now, what else
can I do?

Not a thing, dear.
It's all set.

Hi, Mother.
Got the ice cream.

All right, put it
in the ice box.

Hi, Martha.
Hello, Dave.

Glad you came over, honey.

Hi, Mike.
Hi, Dave.

Oh, pot roast, huh?

And why not?

Sure. He'll be
working it off now.

In fact, I'm giving him
a couple of pounds myself
with that ice cream.

That's swell, Dave.

This is the first real job
Joe's ever had, isn't it?

Not only the first real job,
the first any job.

I hope he'll be
able to keep it.

Why, of course he will.

It took time, that's all.

He had his own ideas
about living

and he just had
to find out
they didn't work.

But once a fellow like that
knows where he's going...

He'll be making
so much money
one of these days,

we'll be lighting cigars
off of dollar bills.

If I ever catch you
with one of those smelly
things in your mouth.

Aw, Ma!

You know, for a while there
I thought I was hammering
at him a little too hard,

but I guess
it didn't do
any harm, huh?

Oh, he needed it,
all right.

And now I suppose
I'll be losing you two
one of these days.

Oh, cut out
that silly stuff.

Be quiet.

Here he comes!

Oh, come on, now,
let's make him feel
we're proud of him

and give him
a nice little greeting.

Congratulations, Joe.
Nice going, Joe.

Hey, where's your
white suit, Joe?
Hello, there, working man!

I'll never know
why I hang around
this darn burg.

They get in a rut
and they stay there,

and when you try
to pull 'em out,
what do you get?

What's the matter?

I'm fired, that's what.
I'm out on my ear.

You're fired?
Yes.

Oh, Joe.

Gee whizz.

But why?
Why?

He's just like
every other businessman
in this dizzy town.

He's afraid to step out
and take a chance.

Well, there you are.
I had an idea and
I tried it, and I'm out.

Well, what did you do?

I traded gas for
whatever people had
they didn't need.

Why, It was a cinch.
I would have had the
biggest swap shop that...

You traded?
Are you batty?

Well, now, what's
wrong about that?

Well, the gas
wasn't yours to trade.

And for junk that
people didn't need.

Oh, what are you
talking about?

Joe, I don't know
what to say to you.

How any young man
in his right mind could...

Oh, let's eat.

The pot roast is
special for you, Joe.

Oh, Joe, sometimes
I could...

Oh...

Excuse me, please.
I'm sorry.

Joe, shall I...
Shall I...

I'm still here, Joe.

I'm still here.

He's going,
all right.

I heard him
opening and closing
the drawers.

Let me.

Well, I'm leaving, Mom.

Why, Joe?

You don't have to
ask me that, Mom.

I'm going to Los Angeles.

You can bet on this.
I'm going to prove that
I can amount to something.

I'll send for you and Mike
the minute I get set.

But we want you here.

Oh, I know
where I belong.

Besides, this'll give
Dave and Martha the break
they got coming to them.

Now, please don't
ask me to stay.

All right, Joe.

I'll see you
downstairs.

Okay.

I'm going to ask you
not to leave, Joe.

Me, too.

Well, thanks,
but this is what
I want to do.

Whatever you say.

You know, Dave,
we don't see things
the same way,

and I'm wise now,
I don't fit
in this town,

so I'm going where
I can do the family
some good.

It's pretty tough
busting in
on a big city.

Well, I'm not worried.

Of course you ain't.

You're going
to be surprised
one of these days

when I send for the folks
and give you the okay
on marrying Martha.

Well, if that's why
you're leaving, Joe...

Well, I know
what I'm doing.

Well, you'll need
some money.

No, thanks.
This is on me.

Suit yourself.
Can I drive you to town?

No, I'd rather walk.

So long, Dave.
So long, Joe.

Be seeing you soon, Mom.

Oh, Joe, I wish
you wouldn't go.

So long, Mike.

Gee.

You'll let us know
where you are?

Sure.

Well, he's finally
made his break.

I'm sorry he did.

But I'm glad, too,

because it'll bring out
the fight I know
he's got in him.

His pa was
the same way.

He just drifted along
without a worry
in the world

till you boys
started coming.

Then he dug in
and worked till
the day he died.

God bless him.

I'm going upstairs.

Good night.

Good night, Ma.

You don't realize
until he's gone how
you feel about him.

Good night, Mike.

Good night.

This is the
darnedest family.

This is a pretty tough town
when a fellow's looking
for a job, isn't it?

Yeah.

You're gonna pay me,
ain't you?

Oh, yeah.

Second race?

Mmm-hmm.

What's his name?

Toluca.

Toluca?

Yeah.

Where'd you get it?

Stable tip.
Right out of the feed box.

You know,
they've been waiting
for this spot.

If she don't romp home
at 50-1, then I'll eat
my socks.

Well, let's see.

Toluca. Toluca. Toluca.

No one here
mentions her to win.

Are you sure
she's coming in?

I said I'd eat
my own socks,
didn't I?

Well, that's something.

Oh, boy!

How she smells on her
last performances.

If she wins
she'll pay a hatful.

I'm telling you,
we can't miss.

Come on, let's go.

Hey.

How do you get out
to the race track?

Go to the bus station,
right across the street.

Thanks.

Whoo! Fifty to one.
Boy, if my horse
comes in...

Which one?
Number two. Toluca.

Toluca? That's it!
Mmm-hmm.

You got him, too?

I knew it.
I knew it.

My wife told me
to bet on him.

Well, didn't you
bet on him?

No, I bet on
Virginia Mac.

Virginia Mac?

Is she any good?

How do I know?
I just bet on 'em,
that's all.

Now, I'll have to go out
and drop another $2
on Toluca. Doggone it!

Hey, wait. Wait.

Maybe you and I can do
a little business.

How?

Well, the whole thing's
a gamble.

I'd just as soon be
on one horse as another.

How about a trade?

Well, uh...

Which horse
do you think
is gonna win?

I don't know,

but you're going to
buy a ticket on Toluca,
I'm willing to trade you one.

What do you say?

Well, all right.

But, now remember,
if you lose
don't get sore.

I won't.

Oh, I forgot
to tell you.

I picked that on
the Australian system.

What's that?

Well, it's something
I made up myself.

You see, you bet
on the horses

with the most
I's and A's
in their name.

Sounds fair enough.
Sure.

You've been keeping it
pretty much of a secret,
though.

That horse is still
40:1, Virginia Mac.

If that horse wins,
I'll kill myself.

Do you know that?
I'll kill myself.

Well, we'll see
what happens.

Maybe we'll both
kill ourselves.

Over there, rider.

Now they go!

It's Toluca
going to the front
on the inside.

At the quarter
it's Toluca
in front on the rail

by one length.

Gold Lace is second...

Come on, Toluca!

Australian system!

... and Acapulco.

At the half,
it's Toluca drawing clear
by three lengths...

Come on, Toluca!

Where's Virginia Mac?

The one in the back.

... Toluca is drawing clear
and just galloping!

Cute, isn't she?

It's Toluca in front
at the three-quarters,
by five lengths.

Gold Lace is
second on the rail
and closing fast.

Ribald is third by a head,
and Acapulco on the outside.

And here comes Virginia Mac
turning for home.

It's Toluca in front,
and Virginia Mac on
the outside is flying.

It's Toluca in front
on the rail by a head.

It's Toluca and Gold Lace
head and head.

And now it's Gold Lace
and Virginia Mac
on the outside.

It's Toluca in front
on the rail by a head.

And Gold Lace is second,
Virginia Mac is third.

It's Toluca and Gold Lace,
they're head and head,
and it's a driving finish.

Virginia Mac on the outside
is gradually getting up.

It's Virginia Mac
in front,

and the winner
by a neck...

Oh, I won it!

Forty to one!
Forty to one!

Boy, what a horse
you picked!

Doggone my wife!

I got it!
I got it!

So what?
Oh, boy!

Oh, boy! Did you see
what it paid? 83 bucks.

Will you quit
talking about it?

The only long shot
I ever picked
in all my life...

Now, look, we can
pull for the same nag
this time.

I used the
Australian system, too.

I knew it!
I knew it!

What's the matter?

I forgot.
I forgot to bet
my own system.

Haven't you
got Sylvia?

No. I've got Whoopee.

Now, look.

Turning into the stretch
it's Whoopee in front

by six lengths
and just galloping away!

Bright Red on the rail
is second...

Hold it right there,
my little Whoopee!

And it's Whoopee
in front coming down
the line of finish.

Just galloping.

Bright Red on the rail
is second,
and Sombrero is third.

Oh! He win easy!

You stole my ticket!

Do you hear me?
You stole it right out
of my very hands.

Oh, what're you
talking about?
We traded, didn't we?

You're a spy.
That's what you are.

You're a spy from
some foreign country,

going around
and trying to
ruin Americans.

Oh, I hate you!

Do you hear me?
I hate you!

Whoopee!

Hey! You cooled off yet?

Who you got
in this race?

Oh, come on! There's
no use getting sore over
a little matter of $145.

What's money, anyway,
but food, clothes,
and a place to sleep?

Now, if you think
I deliberately took your...

Officer.

Will you
please hold my ticket
till after this race?

I don't trust myself.

Hey, wait! Wait.

Now, there's no use
trying to keep your
bet a secret.

I've got it, too.
Tirana, the
Australian system.

Tirana?
Tirana, yeah.

I thought it was
Mickey's Man!

No, all I know is
Tirana's got the most
I's and A's.

See?

What did I ever
do to you?

Oh, man, you don't even
know your own system.

I don't know anything!
I don't know what I'm...

You're driving me nuts!

Hey, wait.

Into the stretch,
it's Mickey's Man in front.

Rich Daddy is second,
Double Trouble is third,

and Tirana is
making his move
on the outside.

Tirana is seventh,
sixth, fifth...
No. No.

No, no.
Fourth...

Third...
No.

Tirana and Mickey's Man,
head and head.

Tirana and Mickey's Man,
and now it's all Tirana,
and just galloping!

One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight,
nine, ten!

Fifty dollars! Tirana!
The Australian system!

Yoo-hoo! Thanks, boy!

Doggone, my wife!

Hey, Ma, do you think
we'll have servants

to make up our beds
and pick up our stuff?

Do you think that, Ma?

Well, I don't care
how many servants
we have,

you'll pick up your own...
What on earth?

Will you stop putting
all this junk in the trunk?

We can't move
the whole house!

That's not junk. Golly!

Do you expect me
to go to a big city
practically naked?

Well, you can take
the football,

but at least let
the air out of it.

Are you insane?

Michael, I don't know...
Gee, I forgot something!

Hey, watch it
there, fella.

Oh, David! Did you get
the tickets all right?

Yep, everything's all set.

These will take you
right to Los Angeles,

and here's what's left
out of what Joe sent.

Did you take some out
for your wedding present?

No.

After all,
it takes money
to get married.

Don't you worry about us.

All right.

And, David,

I wouldn't try to sell
the house right away

unless you and
Martha think...

Oh, I said don't
worry about us.

If I find a buyer
for the place,

we'll rent an apartment
till we get our own
house built.

I guess that
would be better.

Aren't you
proud of Joe?

Yeah, I'm proud
of him, all right.

But if I could only be sure
this isn't another one
of those things.

Kind of taking
a lot for granted

pulling out like this
on the strength of
that telegram.

Oh, he's all set this time
or he'd never send
for Mike and me.

Besides, all that money.

Oh, sure.
I guess I'm too leery.

It took a long time,
but now everybody's
doing well and happy.

I wish we could all
be together.

Oh, we will be
some day, Mother.

I wanted so much
to see your wedding.

Well, maybe we can
arrange something.
I'd sure like to.

I don't know.

Well...

Hey!

Can you imagine me
forgetting these?

Oh, get that trash
out of here!

Aw, but, Ma!

David, will you take
this idiot out until
I get through packing?

I gotta take my stuff.

A man's gotta
have his stuff.

Take him outside
and tie him to a tree.

All right,
come on and bring
your friends with you.

This is the dirtiest trick
I ever heard of!

Ma, why won't you
let me take my stuff?

What a family.

And, Martha, don't forget
to remind him to send
out his laundry.

You know how men are.

I won't forget,
Mrs. Beebe.

You promise now, Dave.
You gotta send me
my stuff.

I'll send it, Mike.

Oh, and the telegram
to tell Joe we're coming.
Sure, Mother.

Oh, and I just
wish you and Martha
all the luck in the world.

I know you're
gonna be very happy.

Come and see us often.

I'm so happy
because everything
turned out all right.

Oh, David!
Now, now, Mother.

What's the matter?
What's there
to cry about?

We're going to see Joe,
aren't we?

All aboard!

Ask her what's there
to cry about, Dave.

Dave,
tell her to quit crying.

Well, goodbye.
Goodbye.

Goodbye, Mother.
Don't forget
to send my stuff!

I won't.

I wish I didn't feel so...

You know,
about them leaving.

They're grand people.

Well, it's all ours.

Redcap?

Redcap?
Redcap, Madam?
No, I don't think so.

I don't know.
Redcap?

Oh, here he comes, Ma!
Here he comes!

Oh!

Oh, Joe! I'm so
glad to see you!
Hi, Mom!

Hello, sport!

Hi, Joe.
You sure did it,
didn't you, Joe?

Oh, we're riding
high now, kid!
Hey, Redcap.

Get these bags,
will you?

Cab?
Oh, sure.

Well, Mom, why didn't Dave
get married before you left?

Well, he just wanted
to be sure that everything
was all right here first.

Joe, I'm so happy.

You got your
trunk check, Mom?
Oh, I don't know.

You don't know?
You better have it.
Just wait a minute.

I'm so excited!
There it is.

Now, get ready for
the biggest surprise
of your lives.

Right here, huh?

Will you wait?
Yes, sir.

What in the world!

Howdy, Filter.
Howdy, Mr. Joe.

Folks, meet Uncle Gus,
the grandest race horse that
ever peeked through a bridle.

Race horse!
Mmm-hmm.

Oh, gosh!

Mom, if you ever looked
your fortune in the face,
there it is.

There's the horse
that's going to carry
the three of us

right into that
field of clover.

It's ours?
Really ours?

Front and back.

Why, do you mean
to tell me

that you can afford
to keep a race horse

out of what you take in
at the swap shop?

Swap shop?
Oh, I traded it!

You traded it?
Mmm-hmm.

For what?
Uncle Gus.

But where are
you working?

Right here,
training Uncle Gus.

Do you get
paid for it?
No.

Well, where do you
make your money?

Well, I'm not making
any right now,

but as soon as
Uncle Gus starts racing,

it'll only be a couple
of months and...

Joe, do you realize
that you sent for us?

Told Dave to get married,
told us to sell the house?

Oh, there's nothing
to worry about, Mom!

Things might be
a little tight
for a while,

but I've got
a nice little house,

two months' rent
paid in advance,

credit at the market,
credit for Uncle Gus's
feed bill...

Sure! He don't need a job.

We got a race horse!

Can I ride Uncle Gus, Joe?
Can I be a jockey?

You know, I can
ride good already.

Shut your trap!

Are you crazy?

What're you going to do
when your credit runs out?

Are we all supposed
to go back home

and move in
on Dave and Martha?

Oh, that won't happen.
Now, believe me, Mom,

you got to take a chance
if you're gonna amount
to something,

and my chance came.

Yes, your chance came
and you traded yourself
right out of it,

just the same as
you've done ever since
you were old enough

to have a thought
in your head.

And now what?
We're here because
you sent for us,

because you wanted
to take care of us,

because you decided to
quit stalling and make
a man out of yourself.

Well, where do we go
from here, big shot?

Don't worry.
Now, whatever you do,
don't worry.

Say, have you got
a dollar for Filter?
I got to keep him in grub.

Here you are, Filter,
pork chops tonight.

Thank you, sir.

And keep Uncle Gus
in good shape.

Stay right under
them hind feet.

Yes, sir,
all the time.

Do you want me
to stay here, Joe?

Don't you think
I ought to stay
with Uncle Gus?

No, we're going home.

If Mom's got the cab fare.

Will you stay,
Mom, please?

There's nothing else
we can do.

And remember this...
I'll say we'll stay.

Look at me on Uncle Gus!
I'm coming round the turn!

I'm coming like
a house afire,

I'm way ahead!
Stop it, Michael, stop it!

I say, remember this,

as far as Dave and Martha
are concerned,

you still have the swap shop
and you're earning money.

They mustn't
find out the truth.

Do you understand?
Yes, Mom.

Because no matter
what happens to us,

you're not going to
ruin things again for them.

Can you imagine that?
All upset when we got
us a race horse.

Mom, if I didn't
know you so well...

Quiet!

Yes, I'm afraid we all
know each other too well.

I wish we had him in
a race today, Mr. Joe.

He looked like
he was running right out
from under Mr. Mike.

One-fourteen, breezing!

Boy, that'll make
those clockers sit up
and take notice, huh?

Hi, Mom.
Ma.

Well, did you
get that fool horse
entered in a race yet?

Fool horse?

That's fine talk
just after he breezes
three-quarters in 114 flat.

Breezes? One-fourteen?

I asked you
a simple question
in plain English.

When is Uncle Gus
going to run?

In a couple of weeks.
We've got to wait
for our spot.

Yes, it's been
a couple of weeks
for the last two months.

Oh!

I told you not to
clean those boots
in the living room.

We're going to
leave this house
like we found it.

Aw, Ma!

Say, that's right.

We get kicked out of here
in three days, don't we?

Yes, in three days.

And you lie there
like a king reading
that crazy horse paper.

Do you realize
that we won't even have
a roof over our heads?

Sure.

But in a couple of weeks
we'll be right back
on top again.

Yes, on top of
the breadline.

Does it have
my name in there,
that I worked him out?

Oh, answer that, Michael.

Tell him we'll
pay him next week.

Just one thing
I can be thankful for,

that is that Dave
and Martha don't know
what's happening here.

Dave ever found out...
Oh, settle down,
Mom, settle down.

Nobody's going to
find out about anything.

Well, lookee here!
Hey, it's Dave and Martha!

Oh, my!

No!
Hello, Mike.

Hi, Martha!
Hiya, Mike!

What will we do?
How will we act?
I don't know.

Where's Mom and Joe?
In here.

Well, I mean, just like
those letters you wrote.

Say, you look healthy
as a yearling.

I ought to be. I...
Hi, Joe!

How are you?
Fine. How are you?

David!
Hello, Mom.

And Martha!
Hello, Mrs. Beebe.

Well, are you married?
Are you on your honeymoon?

Better yet.
We're going to
be married here.

Oh! That's so
sweet of you.

I so wanted to
see the wedding.

Well, that's what we thought.
The whole family, you know.

Say, have you
heard the... Ouch!

What's the matter?
Be quiet, Michael!

Go straighten up your room.
Oh, he's so darned fidgety.

Aw!
Go on!

How do you
like the house?
Oh, it's quite a place.

We're going to build
pretty soon.

Not as big as this,
of course.

When do you
have to go back?

In four or five days.

Oh.
What's wrong?

Oh, nothing. Oh.

Only we're moving
in three days and...

What's the matter
with this?

Oh, it's kinda small.

Small?
Uh-huh.

Say, you must be
a one-man riot
in this town.

Anyway, I'm not proud.
How about getting
married right here, huh?

Throw a little feed
somewhere so nobody
will have to cook?

Wine with the grub
maybe, huh?

That sounds grand!
Yeah.

It'll be kind of nice
all being together.

I'm glad we could
handle it this way,
huh, Joe?

Yes. Uh...

It's so nice of you
to think of me.

Oh, Joe, I've got
a laugh for you.

I brought our old
instruments along

so you can dump 'em
in the swap shop.

Sure feel good to know
they're gone, huh?

Yes, won't it.

Say, what kind of
jalopy you driving?
Plenty fancy, I bet.

Oh, it's just...
Well, it's so much simpler

to take the bus that
we decided that...

Hey, look!
Our own colors, Dave!

Watch.

I'm coming into the stretch,
it's Uncle Gus by a head,

Uncle Gus by a length!
Uncle Gus pulling away!

Look at me go!

Hey, what is this?
What's the idea?

That's what
I wanted to tell you.

I'm a real apprentice
jockey now,

and I'm going to ride
Uncle Gus that Joe traded
for his swap shop.

And I'm going to
win on him, too,

because we gotta win on him
on account of getting
kicked out of this place.

Can you stay
and see me ride?
Wait.

Well, what about it?

There's nothing
much to tell,

except that we've got
this Uncle Gus instead
of the swap shop.

We've got a chance
to make a lot of
money, too.

And you're going to
get kicked out of here?

Michael, go to your room
and take off those
silly clothes,

and stay there
till you're called.

Golly! I was only
telling about how swell
we were going to do.

David, I don't think
we ought to burden Martha
with any family troubles.

Couldn't we wait
until after...

This is a great thing
to walk into after
planning like we did.

Martha, would you
step out there
for a few minutes?

Certainly. But, Dave,
no matter what happens, I...

Now, David, I think...

It was nice
reading in your letters
how well Joe was doing.

But I thought
it was better to...

To lie instead of
telling me the facts,

that you're no better
than you ever were,

that you can no more
take care of a family
than you can fly?

Well, they're
all right now,
aren't they?

Well, what are you
using for money?
We got some...

We have credit.
Sure.

Swell! And who's
going to pay off?

I am, as soon as my
horse starts a-running.

Joe, if I thought
it'd do any good,
I'd knock you...

All right,
let's have it straight.

Where do you stand,
and how long
can you hold out?

Well?

Can you imagine
a guy like that
sending for his family?

They're broke,
aren't they?
Worse than that.

They're $400 in debt and
not a chance to pay off.

And Mother and the kid
living on beans.

What are you going
to do about it?

Well, there's only
one thing to do,

stay here and get them
straightened out.

And me?

Maybe it won't
take long, Martha.
If you'll only wait...

But why? Let's be
married tomorrow,
just as we planned,

and I can stay here
and help.

Drag you into this mess?
Marry you into a family

that won't even have
a place to hang its hat?

I'll try to get
a job here.
I will get one.

That'll help some.

Can't you understand,
Martha,

that the one thing
I want to do is be able
to take care of you?

Give you that house
and everything
we've talked about?

With no reason why we can't
live where we want
and do what we want?

Why, marrying you now,
moving you in on
a lot of trouble,

we'd be licked before
we started, and I'm not
going to do it.

I understand.

You don't think
the way I do, Dave,
and never will.

Because if you did,
you wouldn't care
what was happening.

You'd only know
that you loved me
and wanted me

and nothing on earth
could stop you
from having me.

Martha...
You'll never get
this family set.

They won't change
and I love them for it.

I'm going home now, Dave.

And I don't want
to hear from you again
until you've realized

that they're going to be
just as much a part
of our future as we are,

trouble and all.

You'd better find
that out in a hurry.

Where's Martha?
She's gone,
and I don't blame her.

Why?

After what you've done,
you pull that?

Joe, if I did half
what I wanted to do,

I'd kick you
all the way back
to Stokesbury.

I've lost Martha,
I'm losing my job
on account of you,

and now I'm darned
near losing my mind!

Go on in the dining room!
In there?

Go on! You too, Mike.

David, please.

What'd I do?

Are you all right
in there?

Stand up!

I'm no millionaire but
I'm not the type to care

Sing it!

'Cause I've got
a pocketful of dreams

Wonderful dreams!

It's my universe

Even with an empty purse

'Cause I've got
a pocketful of

I've got a pocketful
of beautiful dreams!

Why that sigh?

Who has upset you?
Don't let it get you

Simply laugh
and call it love

Hearts don't break

That's just a rumor
Where is your humor?

Can't you laugh
and call it love?

You'll see
where a big affair
can soon be very small

The first hundred tears
are the hardest of all

You'll forget

Oh-oh-oh-oh!

And there'll be new arms

And haven't you arms?

So just laugh
and call it love

Why that sigh?
Who has upset ya?

Don't let it get ya
Simply laugh

And call it love

Hearts don't break
Why?

Call it love?

Mmm, mmm

You'll see
where a big affair
can soon be very small

The first hundred tears

Are the hardest of all

You'll forget
and there'll be new arms

And haven't you arms?

So just laugh and call it

strutting by the pool room

Small Fry, you should be
in the school room

My! My! Now you put down
that cigarette

You ain't a grown-up
high and mighty yet

Small Fry
dancing for a penny

Small Fry
Counting up how many

My! My! Now you just
listen here to me

You ain't the biggest
catfish in the sea

You practice pecking
all day long

To some old radio song

Oh, yes! Oh, yes!
Oh, yes!

You better listen
to your paw

And some day
practice the law

And then you'll be
a real success

Oh, yes!

Small Fry, now you kissed
the neighbor's daughter

Small Fry, get on back
in the shallow water

Seems I should take you
across my knee

Now you ain't the biggest
catfish in the sea

You've got your feet
all soaking wet

Oh, you're gonna be
the death of me yet!

Oh, me!
Oh, my!

Small Fry

You call me Small Fry!

You is most infinitesimal.
Too big for your britches!

Now, you call me Small Fry!

Oh, lookee here,
shorter-than-me,

I wonder where
my switch is?

I'll whup the...
My, my, my!

Now, I never heard
such carrying on!

Better look
in the closet, Ma.

I'll bet the gin
is all gone.

Oh, yes!

Small Fry, you was betting
on the ponies

Oh, you're just burned
'cause I was winning.

Some guy, he picks
all the phonies!

My, my, my, my!

Now, you just
listen here to me...

I know, I know, I know!

I ain't the biggest
catfish in the sea!

Let's hear something new.

You got the pinochle deck
in your pocket!

What happened to
Ma's wedding ring?
Did you hock it?

Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah!
Oh, yeah

You signed your own
report card last night.

Well, why don't you
learn how to write?

And then you'll be
a real success!

Yes?
Yes!

Oh!

Small Fry, now you kissed
the neighbor's daughter

Sure, I give her
a little smackeroo,

but, wise guy,
you're the one
who taught her.

Seems I should take you
across my knee

Now, you ain't the biggest
catfish in the sea!

Mom, I think I know
what to do to this boy.

Is that castor oil
around here?

Why, he just slipped it
in your beer.

Oh, me!
Oh, my!

Small Fry!

Every time I put this
thing on, I feel like
cutting my own throat.

Well, when Uncle Gus
wins tomorrow, boy,

we can set a match
to this junk.

Wins, huh?
It's a sure thing.

I hope.

Joe, I been excited
so long thinking about
riding Uncle Gus

that now
I'm kinda shaky.

But don't worry
about me, though,

I'll be
all right tomorrow.

Where you going?

Just outside.
Get some fresh air.

Howya, Mike?

Fine.

Come into the office
for a minute, will you?

Yes, sir.

Mike, meet Harry Ringmer.

Yes, sir.
Glad to know you, sir.

Mike's the kid
I was telling you about.

He works here and
he's got his jockey papers
to ride his brother's horse.

Uh-huh.

Sit down, kid.

What's the matter?
Nervous?

No, sir. Just...

You know, I'm riding
my first race tomorrow.

I was going out
for some air.

Mr. Ringmer's got a horse
in that race, too,

Mr. Bank.

Oh, yes, sir.
Mr. Bank's a good horse.

But ours is better.

Maybe so.

Pretty unusual
for a horse to be
the favorite

after not having raced
for five months
and with a green kid up.

Oh, I can ride,
all right.

I used to exercise horses
back home at the
fair grounds every summer.

And you should see
Uncle Gus's workouts.

He's a stake horse I bet,

the way he runs
when he hits a stretch.

Think you'll win, eh?

I got to.

Why?

Well, we already caused
my brother David
a lot of trouble,

and his girl and...

Oh, just family reasons.

That's too bad.

How do you mean?

Well, like I say,
you're plenty green, kid.

Lots of things
can happen out there
to spoil your cake.

For instance, the rail.

What about the rail?

When you hit the stretch
and the other boys
start crowding you,

it's tough going.

I've seen it
tear a kid's leg
right out of the socket,

throw him
under the horses.

I ain't afraid.

You really need that dough,
don't you?

We sure do.

There's a way
of turning a race into
a sure thing sometimes.

Know what I mean?

That's what my
brother Joe likes,
a sure thing.

Yes, sir.
That's good.

Say, Harry, do you mind
stepping out for a minute?

Not at all.

Why... Why's he leaving?

You've got
a smart brother, kid.

He knows what
he's talking about.

And when he says he's for
a sure thing, you can bet
that's the ticket.

He's smart,
all right.

We can help your
family out plenty

by taking your
brother's tip.

No worry about
losing the race,
no risk, no nothing.

Just play the sure thing.

Huh?
Now, look,

you've got $400
coming to you
if you win.

Suppose another
horse crowds you?

What if you get
pocketed and shoved up
against the rail?

What have you got?

Nothing.

Did you ever see
one of these before?

Yes, sir, $100.

Well, that's yours
and three more
like it tomorrow,

if you don't win.

If I don't win?

Yeah. Like your
brother says,
the sure thing.

Say, you seen
Mike any place?

I think he got some air
and just went back
to the dressing room.

Oh, thanks.
Oh, Joe.

Huh?

How do you think
Uncle Gus will
do tomorrow?

Oh, he'll win of course.

Think so?
Can't miss. Why?

If you were
a gambling man I'd
take you up on that.

What kind of odds?
2-1.

That's as good as you'll
get at the track tomorrow
and maybe better.

Man, you're certainly
talking my language,
but I haven't got a dime.

Oh, what difference
does that make?

You're working,
aren't you?
Huh?

I'll tell you
what I'll do.

I'll bet you $2000
against the trio's salary
for the next 10 weeks.

Oh, no, no.
I couldn't do that.

Well, 2000 bucks on a platter
is nothing to be sneezed at.

But of course,
if you're afraid
to take a chance...

How does he look
to you, Filter?

He's gonna run
like a rabbit, Mr. Joe.

I've got a feeling
all up and down.

Well, you hang on
to that feeling now.

Yes, sir.

How do you feel, kid?

Fine.

That other 300's
waiting for you.

Yes, sir.

And you know what else
is waiting for you
if you try to get funny.

What do you mean?

lt'd be the last trick you
ever try on or off a track,
remember that.

Yes, sir.
All right.

And good luck.

Everything okay, Mike?

I guess so.

Now, don't get excited.

Just pretend
it's a regular
workout, see?

Of course,
don't go forgetting
it's a race now, huh?

But sort of...
Well, you know.

Yeah, Joe.

What the matter?
You feeling funny?

No.

The only reason
we want to win

is the money,
ain't it, Joe?

We sure need the money,
don't we?

Yeah, we need
the money, all right.
In more ways than one.

How else do you mean?

Well, I wasn't
going to tell you

because I didn't want
to get you upset,

but I bet our next
10 weeks' pay against
$2000 that we'd win it.

You did? Gee!

Oh, I knew
I shouldn't
have told you.

Oh, Joe!
Not so loud!

Now I have to
tell about it.
Joe, this is awful!

Why?

I know it's wrong, but
I was only trying to do
like you always said,

the sure thing, Joe.
You know, the sure thing.

What did you do?

The man that owns
Mr. Bank is giving me
$400 to lose the race.

What are you
talking about?

It's terrible,
ain't it, Joe?

But we needed the money,
and like you said...

Oh, quit telling me
what I said.

But lots of times you...
Shut up!

Riders up!

Come on.

All right,
on the track.

Look, Mike,
lean down here
a minute, will you?

I've done some
wrong things myself,
see, plenty of 'em,

but what you've
done is cheating.
Can't you see that?

I got mixed up, Joe.

I know, Mike,
but whatever we do,
we can't do anything crooked.

We mean too much
to each other,
this family and everything,

and if one of us
gets in a jam, why,
it hurts all of us.

What if Mom
found out, Mike?

I see what you mean.

I just didn't
have it straight

what you meant
about the sure thing.

Yeah, it's all my fault.

Here I am trying to
tell you what's wrong
and I'm out betting yours

and Dave's share
of 10 weeks' pay.

That's not wrong.

You were just trying to
make money for all of us.

Well, I wished you
wouldn't feel that way
about me, Mike,

because I'm wrong
lots of times.

But I gave you
this bad steer
without meaning to.

Maybe it'd be better
if you figured these things
out for yourself, huh?

Whatever you say
is okay with me, Joe.

All right, then.
Let's go on out there
and win this race, huh?

But I already
got that $100.

Where is it?
In my boot.

I didn't know
where to hide it.

I'll take care of that.
You do what I tell you,

go out there
and win this race.

You'll stick with me,
won't you?

You'll stick with me
if anything happens?

Oh, you're darned tooting.

That's swell.
You just watch me.

We'll show you,
me and Uncle Gus.

How about it?

I got the whole
three grand
covered at 2-1.

Nobody got wise
it was me, huh?

Nope.

We got six grand
in sucker money the
minute Mr. Bank wins.

Are you sure that
jockey on Uncle Gus
won't cross you?

He's scared to death.

Even if he does try
to pull anything smart,
my jockey'll take care of him.

Say, this is the only way
to bet on the nags.

Well, we'll see
for ourselves
in a few minutes.

Then the whole bunch of you
can realize how crazy it is
and settle down.

Yeah, but what if
Uncle Gus wins?

Aw, he won't.

Do you think he could?

How's everything?
Great.

Doesn't Mike look cute
sitting up there all alone?

There's liable
to be trouble
if our horse wins.

Will you come
around to the barn
after the race?

Why?

Ringmer's paying Mike
$400 to lose the race
to Mr. Bank,

and I just told him
to go out and win it.

Why in the world...

It's all my fault.
He thought he was
doing what I'd do.

He's trying to get
some money for us.

What are you two
talking about?

Oh, nothing.
Nothing important.
We just...

The horses
are at the starting gate.

Fair Trial broke through.
Sandy Man broke through.
Uncle Gus is up.

Uncle Gus is acting
very badly.

Refuses to go
in the starting gate.

Uncle Gus.
Uncle Gus.

All lined up
but Uncle Gus.

Please, Uncle Gus.

If you win, I get $2
for a new suit of clothes.

All lined up
but Uncle Gus.

He's coming in
with the others now.

Might be a good start
here any moment now.

Uncle Gus is coming in
the starting gate, and...

Uh-oh, Uncle Gus
broke through!

Uncle Gus
unseated his rider.

Wait, wait a minute.
He'll be all right, Mom.

Are you all right, rider?

Yes, sir.

The rider's up again.

Now they're all straight,
ready now for a good start.

And they're off!

Mr. Bank shows the way
on the inside by a head.

Sandy Man is second
by a neck.

Uncle Gus is third
by half a length.

Santouri is fourth,
and Fancy is fifth.

That's too far up!

The race is young yet.
... by half a length.

Sandy Man on the rail
is second by
a half a length.

Uncle Gus is third
on the outside by
a length and one half.

Santouri is fourth
by two lengths,

and Fair Trial is...
Hold it, Mike!
Stay right up there.

Ride him, Mike.

... by a half
a length on the inside.

Uncle Gus on the outside
is second by a length
and one half.

Sandy Man is third.

And Uncle Gus
is moving up fast
on the outside!

Come on, Uncle Gus!
Stay right there!

Uncle Gus on the outside
is second by a length
and one half.

Sandy Man is third
between horses,

and Santouri is fourth.

Passing the stands
the first time.

It's Mr. Bank in front
on the rail by a neck.

Uncle Gus on the outside...
Look at that kid ride!

We lost.
No, Mom,

they gotta go around
one more time.

Oh! Oh, ride him, Mike!

The others are far back.

Around the turn
for the second time.

It's Mr. Bank in front
by a length and one half.

Uncle Gus is second
by a half a length,

and Sandy Man is third.
Turning into the back...

I tell you,
that kid's out to win!
He's crossing you.

... half a length.
Uncle Gus got through
on the rail.

Uncle Gus is moving up
on the inside.

It's Mr. Bank in front
by a half a length.

Uncle Gus on the inside
is second by a length
and one half,

Sandy Man between horses...
Ride him, Mike!

Go on in there.
Take him through, Mike!

Come on, Mike!

Down the back stretch,

it's Mr. Bank in front...
Nice going, Dave.

... by a neck.

You're shoving me
into the rail!

Back it up, kid.
You want to get killed?

Uncle Gus
is dropping back.

It's Mr. Bank
still out there...

Here, let me see
a minute, will you?

Sandy Man is second
by two lengths.
Santouri on the extreme...

Oh, Mike!

That kid had me worried.

Turning for home.

It's Mr. Bank in front...
Go! Go! Go!

It's Mr. Bank in front.

Sandy Man is second
on the extreme outside.

There comes Uncle Gus!
Got through a hole
on the inside!

It's Mr. Bank in front,
Sandy Man is second

and Uncle Gus
is flying on the rail!

Let him roll, Mike!
Let's go, Mike! Mike!

And it's going to be
a driving finish

with Mr. Bank in front,
Sandy Man is second,
and Uncle Gus on the rail,

and he's flying!
It's Mr. Bank, Sandy Man
and Uncle Gus,

and they're pounding
down the stretch

with Mr. Bank in front,
Sandy Man and Uncle Gus.

It's Mr. Bank and Uncle Gus,
and they're driving hard.
They're head and head.

It's Mr. Bank and Uncle Gus.
Mike! Mike! Mike!

It's Mr. Bank and Uncle Gus.
It's Mr. Bank and Uncle Gus.

And now it's Uncle Gus!

Attaboy, Mike!

Ride him, Mike!

It's all over, Mom.
We win it!

How about that, boy!

We won!

Attaboy, Mike!
Woo-hoo!

Oh, we won!

You know what
that cost us?

Three thousand bucks!

We've got some business.
Let's get going.

Did I do it, Joe?
Did I win?

Of course you won it.
Couldn't you see?

They shoved me
in the rail,
so I shut my eyes.

But I won, huh?

That's great work, Mike.

Do you think there'll
be trouble with that man
because we won, Joe?

Don't you worry.
I'll pick you up
at the jockey's room

as soon as you've
changed, huh?

Okay.

Where are you going?
Uh, to the barn.

Well, you're not
going to leave me
here by myself.

Isn't it about time
Joe and Mike were here?

Just about.

Why do you keep walking
the poor thing around
after he ran so hard?

Gotta cool him off slow
or he'll stiffen up
like a grandpappy.

Huh. We got great plans
for this horse, us Beebes.

Hey, look.

Who's the guy with him?

One of the brothers.
You take care of him.

Come on.

Now, you got nothing
to worry about, see?
Just keep going.

Hello, kid.
Nice race.

My brother's going
to give you back
your hundred...

I'll take care
of that, Mike.

This belongs to you,
doesn't it?

The next time
you've got some
extra money,

you'll have to find
a better way to spend it.
We don't go for that.

Yeah?
That's right.

Glad you liked
the race.

Dave!

Dave!

That was Mike.

Yeah.

Yeah, that was
a swell race.

Worth every bit
of that three grand
I paid to see you win.

And now you're gonna get
what I told you about,

you dirty little
double-crosser!

Let's go.

Where's my brother?
How should I know?

Take 'em, Dave!

Get him, Dave!
They got Mike.

Break it up.
All right,
break it up!

Back it up.

Back it up!

Now, stand right there.

If you try to follow us,
I'll let one go.

That gun isn't gonna
do you any good.

Get back there!

Hey.

Hey!

Throw that gun away, Mom.
We'll fix these guys.

Mike's in that stall, Mom.
They beat him up.

Oh! Oh!

Mike!

Are you winning?

We ain't losing!

I got enough!
I got enough!

Mighty nice going!

I quit! I quit!

We showed 'em, Dave!

Yep, we showed 'em!

Let's see,
$2000 on the bet.
Uh-huh.

Four hundred
and twenty-five
on the win.

And the $37 that
we saved up before.
Yep.

That's, seven,
five, 12, six,

$2462!

Mmm-hmm!
Whoa!

We're millionaires!

And you're still earning
$100 a week with your music.

Aw, that's out.
We're quitting tonight.

But why?

Well, Dave's pulling out
to see if he can get
set somewhere,

and I figured we'd
take Uncle Gus East
for the big races.

We don't need
the music anymore.

I see.

Keep moving,
that's the ticket.

New faces, new...
What's that?

Maybe buy another horse,
huh, Joe, and start
a big-time stable?

That's not a bad idea.

We'll be in that
winner's circle in Kentucky
one of these days, boy.

Well, suit yourself,
you're on your own now.

Oh, it's a cinch!
We're really going to
go to town, huh?

Yup,
old quick-money Joe.

You haven't asked me
what I'm going to do yet.

What do you mean?

Well, you're quitting
your music,

even though it pays you
the best steady money

you'll ever earn
in your lives,

just because you've had
one lucky day.

You're going one way,
and you're going another.

Oh, with you
and Mike.

Not with me.

Huh?
I'm telling you.

I've raised
the three of you,

and I know you'll never
amount to anything
unless you stick together.

Now what happens?

David's trying to
run away from himself

just on account
of a little trouble
with Martha.

And you're going hog-wild
in a silly business

that'll break you
flatter than a pancake.

What if Uncle Gus
gets a stomachache?
What have you got then?

Even Michael can't
talk about anything

but race tracks
and horses and
sure things.

What's he going
to grow up to be?

Now, I mean it.

If you boys walk out
on your job,

I'm walking out
on this family.

Oh, Mom,
you're crazy.

Thank you!
Well, I...

I don't mean you're crazy,
but we know what
we should do, Mom.

All right,
I'm leaving.

Aw, but, Mom!

Mother, you shouldn't
act like this.

You need someone
to take care of you.

It's all right,
I'll take care of myself,
don't worry.

Oh, maybe we can figure
this thing out, Mom.

Not the way
you're figuring now.

I wonder what's
come over her.

Sure acts like
she means business.

Well, fellows,
the way I figure it...

I'm no millionaire

But I'm not
the type to care

'Cause I've got
a pocketful of

The grandest, the sweetest
The cutest, the neatest

I got to tell you
you got a pocketful of

A- one, a-two,
a- three, a-four

Got me a pocketful
of beautiful dreams

Yeah?
Oh, yeah!

Yeah!
Uh, yeah.
