Broadway Bill Page #8

his jockey...

Johnson!

Some say Dan Brooks has a

screw loose for entering him.

But we'll keep an eye on him.

Any Scotch in the house?

No, sir.

Get some.

Get some!

Yes, sir.

I think they're ready

for the bell now.

Keep your eyes open.

Anything's liable to happen.

Don't forget to break, Bill.

He's in the vanguard!

Broadway Bill first,

Gallant Lady second!

Come on, Bill! Oh, boy!

Thats the baby!

Let go of his head!

I told him not to hold him!

You're holding him, .

You're holding him!

You're holding him!

Gallant Lady's got it made.

Old man with the whiskers.

Put your arm around me!

Hey!

I'll throw you over the fence!

You're crazy!

Come on!

Let go of that bit!

Let go of him!

Let go of that bit!

Come on, Bill!

You can win!

Come on, Broadway Bill!

Yeah, Broadway Bill!

Broadway Bill is coming up fast.

He's 4th by half length.

Broadway Bill!

Friend of the lost souls, come on!

Come on, Bill, thats it!

They're on the last stretch.

Come on, Bill!

Come on, Bill!

Get out of the way!

Come on, Bill!

Pull back, are you crazy?

I can't hold him!

Come on, Bill!

Come on, Sunup!

Go, Bill!

Come on!

Yes, sir!

He did it!

Bill!

There's a horse down.

Don't invade the track.

Everybody keep back,

you know how dangerous it is.

Get back now.

What are you doing?

Don't you know thats

dangerous? Keep off the track!

Let me in!

Thats my horse!

Get back, everybody.

What happened?

This way, Doc.

Are you a doctor? A veterinary?

What happened?

What happened, Doc?

Broadway Bill fell. He was

over, he won, and then dropped.

Whats the matter with him?

Just a minute.

Too much for him,

burst his heart.

He was dead when he hit the dirt.

Too bad!

A picture, please.

Get back.

Get those men out of here.

Everybody, back.

Tough break, kid.

These old eyes have seen

some great horses, but I...

Off the track, everybody.

Princess.

Dan.

Don't cry.

The winner of the Imperial Derby.

We are grateful to Mr. Brooks

for permitting us to...

lay Broadway Bill to rest

on these grounds.

So that his fine spirit

may always be with us.

What he did yesterday was a

lesson in courage and loyalty.

The ideal and purpose

of horse racing...

is to teach us lessons like this.

If we profit by them...

then racing is something

more than a sport.

Broadway Bill must

never be forgotten.

Mr. Brooks.

I'll have to say

goodbye now, Dan.

Going home?

But you won't.

No.

I guess I'm on my way.

Good luck.

You've been swell,

Princess, you've helped me.

Thanks, Dan.

There's Dad.

Dan!

JL.

Margaret come down with you?

No.

She counted on your coming

back to Higginsville now that...

Yeah, I see.

She figures this is

a stroke of luck.

I'm not going back, JL.

Well...

Margaret will be a hard girl

to leave Higginsville, Dan.

Maybe she shouldn't.

Maybe you're right.

Nothing seems to matter

anymore.

Take Alice back home.

Thats my decision and its final.

Whats gotten over you?

I understand selling the

factory when Dan and I were

divorced, but selling all

of them is absurd.

Now the ironworks.

And the bank.

Not the bank!

Not the bank!

In 2 years you got

rid of everything.

Its mine to get rid of

if I want to.

I'm giving them back to the

people that founded them.

I'm a man, not a whale that

gobbles up minos.

You're forcing us out.

Whatll become of us?

You'll have to go to work.

Go out and find jobs.

I wan soninlaws that are

men, not dependents.

I want...!

Its Dan!

Its Mr. Brooks.

"Release the princess from

that tower", he said.

Don't be an idiot like

your sister. Go on.

Hello!

Dan!

Hello!

Hello, Princess!

Its good to see you.

Look, Broadway Bill II...

and the Princess.

Dan!

We're headed for Letonia.

Come on.

Goodby, Dad!

Hello, Whitey.

Wait for me!
