around the stables. They'll stoop to anything.

They sound charming. When your mother's

out of the Bastille I'll have you all over for tea.

Gracias, seorita.

With my winnings, may I buy you a drink?

Aren't you nice? First I want

to bet everything I've got on Furioso.

Well, he's 80 to one now.

Wait. He may go to 100.

Wonderful! That would be

like having our own printing press.

- Cinco, Tortilla.

- Carlos, no.

It's in the bag for Furioso.

Number three. Don't tell a soul.

- Did he say Furioso?

- It's in the bag. Number three.

Furioso. Si, Furioso.

- Furioso, cinco ganadores.

- (man) Si.

Furioso.

Furioso.

- Furioso.

- Furioso. Dos ganadores.

- Bet on Furioso.

- I know. I gave you the tip.

- (man) Seorita.

- Seorita.

- You haven't bet yet?

- No. The odds are dropping.

Do not put a nickel on Furioso.

- Tortilla is the one.

- What's wrong with Furioso?

I don't know. I learned by experience

never to go against my uncle's tips.

You've been right every race.

I won't change touts in mid-afternoon.

- 50,000 pesos on Furioso.

- Oh, seor.

- You haven't heard that your horse will lose.

- What?

Now that you're

going to bet 50,000 pesos on Furioso,

I've got it straight from the feedbox

he'll be missing at the finish.

Seorita, there is no one

whose opinion interests me less than yours.

- 50,000 pesos on Furioso.

- 10,000 on Tortilla.

Don Diego, something terrible happened.

Very bad.

They make crooked business against you.

They take Panchito off Furioso.

Panchito? Then what is he doing

on the horse's back?

No, that's not Panchito. That's anotherjockey.

That is what that Crawford woman meant,

and she had the nerve

to tell me what she was going to do.

At first, I want to take Furioso out of the race,

then this boy come tell me he ride good.

I told Furioso everything what happened.

He understand this serious time.

He gonna be all right.

Maybe this boy can ride good.

- I knew you would put Furioso in the race.

- Don Diego, I am so glad.

I have no doubt you are glad, seorita,

with a strange jockey on Furioso's back.

He did that deliberately. He is tiring him out.

It is all part of the dastardly scheme. I might

have expected as much from Crawfords.

- How can you say that, Papa?

- How can I say it?

That aunt of hers

was brazen enough to say it to my face.

I'll put an end to this. I'm going to stop it.

No, Don Diego, it is no good.

They will be started before you get there.

Later on we will kill a couple of people.

Furioso is in front!

He is the smartest horse in the world.

He remembers all my instruction.

Look - he do everything I told him.

Come on, Furioso!

For a horse that was going to lose,

Furioso's doing all right.

It is the finish that counts,

and that has been arranged.

My uncle took care of that personally.

You worm. If I'd known you'd do anything

to that horse, I'd have run you off the track.

Your money is on Tortilla.

You are taken care of.

- I'll take care of you after the race. Furioso!

- Come on, Tortilla!

- Furioso!

- Tortilla! Furioso!

Come on, Furioso!

Look how he holds him.

He's breaking his neck.

All of the horses have passed him.

Oh! I think maybe he's got the bit in his teeth.

Yeah, yeah, he got the bit in his teeth.

Oh-ho-ho, nobody stop him now! Nobody!

Go, Furioso!

Come on, Furioso.

Come on, Furioso!

Come on, Furioso.

Furioso!

He... he win.

- Oh, Furioso. They could not beat him.

- He had to win.

Furioso, he wanted

to be a racehorse all the time.

Crooked people, crooked jockey,

don't mean nothing to him, nothing.

- I said Glenda had nothing to do with this.

- She tried.

Oh, Glenda.

I just discharged Tito with my own hands.

After all I've been to him, he turns out to be

a horse fixer. He switched jockeys on Furioso.

- The Crawfords had nothing to do with this.

- They might have.

I'm tired of this. For years

you've told how my father cheated you.

Well, I've found out what really happened.

- Here is a letter from my father.

- Why should we go into all that now?

I am a broadminded man.

We will let bygones be bygones.

No, we won't.

When your father was in school at Paris

he got mixed up

with a girl from the rue St Augustine.

He wanted to marry her.

My father took her to Capri for a weekend.

The reason was to keep

your father from making a fool of himself.

That is his story. If he told the truth, he would

tell how he stayed three weeks in Capri.

That is unforgivable.

Papa, let's the four of us go and have

some champagne in the clubhouse, huh?

Si.

(band plays "Mamae Eu Quero")

Florecer un querer

Si llega usted a ir a ver Argentina

Tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk, tsk-tsk

I can't do it.

Su corazn gozar,

entonces le gustar Argentina

Tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk, tsk-tsk

What's the matter with me?

Because you run so fine,

I give you carrots and wine, oh, Furioso

- (neighs)

- Tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk, tsk-tsk

The horse is OK,

but to chiquita I say, I'm so... so

(Binnie) Sing to your seorita

She'll be sweet to you, seor

Every gaucho and caballero

Should be a true troubadour

- I got it. Tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk, tsk-tsk.

- Yes - in the wrong song.

Sing to your seorita

All your cares won't mean a thing

Don Diego, now, don't be bashful,

and sing to your seorita, sing

I'll bet an old castanet that you will never

forget Argentina, tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk, tsk-tsk

Where there are rumbas

and tangos to tickle your spine

Moonlight and music

and orchids and wine

And

Two hearts met

A beautiful love affair started

The dreams winked their eyes and departed

They knew that their work was done

For two lonely hearts were

Two lonely hearts

Were

One

Two dreams met

and now two hearts are one
