Broadway Bill Page #4

Princess, you're a lifesaver.

Lets take a walk.

Come on.

Lets take a walk.

Sit down and tell me

about it. How's Margaret?

Margaret?

She's all right.

She's coming down?

I'm afraid not.

She wanted to but

Matilda got the grip.

You know Matilda, always

sick at the wrong time.

Thats too bad.

You didn't have to come.

Margaret asked me to come.

She did? Well, give her a big

kiss for me when you get back.

I'm not going back.

What? Come on!

You're taking the next

train back to Higginsville.

Says who?

Says me.

How much money you got?

I need $25 to enter Bill

in the race tomorrow.

I'll leave you some.

Thats me, bighearted Dan.

Its not Higgins' money?

No, its mine.

I can't take Higgins' money.

Come on, beat it.

I'm staying till the

race is over.

You can't hang around

a racetrack town like this.

Don't be so patronizing.

Whatll the emperor think?

Hang the emperor!

Another revolutionary, huh?

First the crown prince consort,

then the little princess.

Lo the poor emperor!

You getting to be

quite a little dish.

Will I have difficulty here?

What do you think?

Go out and get myself

a peasant and get married.

Don't do that, Princess.

Save yourself for me.

When Margaret throws me out,

you and I'll hit the road together.

Nice idea, if my

peasant doesn't object.

Who is he?

That guy back home?

Come on, tell papa.

Don't be so smart!

He's perfect!

He's 11 feet tall, has no

ears and eats babies.

Princess!

Princess, look here!

You know me enough to

take a little kidding.

Pay no attention to what

I say about your peasant.

You can marry anybody you like.

I ought to sock you for

taking me so seriously.

Lets give Bill a workout.

Hold it!

Put him in number 6, Joe.

Let nobody through.

Hold it.

Hold him back, now.

Come on!

He's getting it now.

Bring him tomorrow.

See what that rooster makes?

Saddle the rooster.

Might have a better chance.

Put him in number 8.

Don't stop him this time.

I want to clock him.

Back him up a little.

Come on!

Bring him in the morning...

Thanks

What he do it in?

1:
37.

Go get him and cool him out.

Here comes a spy from

the Confederate Army.

What do you want, Mata Hari?

Glad you stopped around, Pop.

We just clocked him.

How about that feed bill?

Know what he made it in?

I don't give a hang!

I want that feed bill paid.

You worrying about a

little thing like that?

All I've been getting

is promises.

I always keep my promises.

I can't pay my bills

with promises.

If I don't get my money,

I'm going to the law!

Colonel Pettigrew will

guarantee all my bills. Right?

Of course I guarantee that.

How much is it, $1,000?

Don't pay it now. All Pop

wants is your guarantee.

He's a stranger to me.

What?

You don't know Colonel

Pettigrew? Can you imagine?

He's one of the biggest men...

I don't care!

I want my money!

I'll let you in on a good thing.

You know what Broadway Bill

made the mile in? 1:37.

He made the mile in 1:27!

Why tell him that?

I thought this was on the Q.T.

I have a good mind to

withdraw my $25,000.

Don't get excited.

I didn't invest $25,000 for

you to slip information to...

a pennyantie feed man.

Pop Jones is a friend of mine.

I don't care if he's your brother!

He can be trusted.

You can trust him, I won't!

I'm through!

Please!

Let him go, I'll take his share.

You've got $50,000 in already.

Your horse is good enough.

I'll write you a check.

Hope I haven't caused you

any trouble, Mr. Brooks.

If you know whats good for

you, leave Dan Brooks alone.

Anyone who looks to the

Lord will find heaven.

Heaven.

Heaven.

I want to walk with the Lord...

to heaven.

Whats going on here?

A little vocal gymnastics.

I mean you.

What are you doing here?

Whats it look like?

Get back to your hotel.

You hang around here too much.

Get washed, dinner will

be ready in a minute.

Is this s girls seminary?

You'd better put on some pants.

What about these?

Where'd you get those?

From your bag.

My only pair of dungarees.

Take them off.

Mr. Brooks, please!

You little mug, ya.

You're kind of cute in that.

Sure, ravishing.

Sailors swoon at

the sight of me.

You've grown up, too.

Some guy's gonna cop you

off. That peasant guy, maybe.

Bill Taylor.

What about Bill Taylor?

I've got work to do.

When did you eat last?

Whitey says you don't eat.

I have plenty to eat.

You can't win races

if you don't eat.

I'm not running.

Where'd you get these?

Only a few supplies.

Oh, boy, Princess!

You're a little angel from heaven!

I married the wrong woman.

What will we open tonight?

Which one?

Oh...

the split pea soup

and the succot.

The split pea soup...

and the succot.

The split pea soup and the succot.

The split pea soup

and the succot...

had a fight upon a timer.

Said the split pea soup

to the succot:

Without corn you'd

just be lima.

Oh, lima.

Lima.

Without corn you'd

just be lima.

Get out of here!

What makes you so happy?

Happy?

Well, I'll tell you.

Because the old man with the

whiskers got his arm around me.

Because we entered Bill in

the $500 race tomorrow...

with the money you

forced on me.

Because I've got a winner,

and our troubles are over.

Gosh darn, you're not very

much yourself now.

You're not very

much yourself now.

What rimes with self?

Molasses?

I ought to let you have it.

You want to win that race?

You'll never know how much.

You will, I'm sure of it.

Got my fingers crossed.

I know you have.

I got to get the money

to do things.

Buy more horses, train them right.

I may even go in for breeding.

Sounds wonderful!

I'm going to have the finest

thoroughbreds in the country.

Its starting to rain.

Put Bradshaw on!

Mr. Whitehall.

How's Gallant Lady?

Its raining hard.

Make sure all the windows

are shut.

We don't want her

catching any colds.

She's liable to catch pneumonia.

She won't. She's as snug

as a bug in a rug.

Right, I'll hop to it.

Check those windows.

Go on, hop to it.

Go was up. Dinner will

be ready in a minute.

Rain's coming in.

Margaret wants to be sure,

and its up to me.

Rain's coming in.

What?

The roof is leaking.

The roof's leaking?

Yes, sir.

Holy smokes!

It was clear a minute ago.

That don't matter.

Whoa, Bill.

Get up there and stuff that up.

Its getting on Bill.

Don't be long, dinner's ready.

There's another one to your left.

Stuff it up.

Hurry up!

Whoa, Bill!

Whitey!

Come on down.

Help me close these doors.

What a storm!

Close that door!

Whoa!

Go to the Whitehall stables,

see if they got a stall for Bill...

just for tonight.

Hurry up!

Whoa, Bill.

I'll get you dry.

These are soaking wet.

We have to take them off.

Boss!

Couldn't get a thing.

What do you mean?

Did you tell them this

is like a sieve?

Yes, but they run me out.

They did?

I did my best.

Keep Bill dry!

Yes, sir.

Where are you going?

What are you gonna do?

Plug up those holes.

Here.

Hot in here!

Have a look at that thermostat.

Mike, turn down that radio.
