How 'bout the girl?

She'll be all right.

You fixed everything?

Yeah, I fixed everything.

That's kind of a tough break for

her. Her old man runs a dude ranch.

It meant a lot of customers

if she'd won this championship.

Dude ranch? Where? Who cares where?

You're going to Connecticut

and start that new story.

finish this one first.

Come on, let's

get out of here.

That boy's worried. What

makes you think he's worried?

I don't know. He must be. Why?

He just threw away a check

for $10,000. Ain't I unlucky.

It wasn't

made out to me.

Who was it made out to?

Some guy named "cash. "

- Why, you...

- Hey, you fellas.

The boss!

Let's hide in

this dark tunnel.

Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!
