Ted Knowles, Jockey:
Say, I think your niece is swell.
Shawn O'Hara, Seabiscuit's Trainer:
Well, you can't start an argument with me that way, me boy.
Ted Knowles, Jockey:
I just wanted to know if it'd be okay by you if I dated her.
Shawn O'Hara, Seabiscuit's Trainer:
And if it shouldn't be okay by me, I'm thinking you'd start an argument.
Ted Knowles, Jockey:
Well, I thought maybe you had it in for jocks, too. Darned if I don't think I'd stand a better chance with her if I were a stable boy. She's a mystery, that Margaret is. You know, Mr. O'Hara, maybe you could put in a good word for me.
Shawn O'Hara, Seabiscuit's Trainer:
Well, now, being the kind of man you are, Ted, I've an idea you can solve that mystery without my help. However, I might be willing to put in a word here and there if you do me a bit of a favor in return.
Ted Knowles, Jockey:
Anything you say.
Shawn O'Hara, Seabiscuit's Trainer:
I'll not say much. Just buy that colt there, Seabiscuit.
Ted Knowles, Jockey:
Me, buy that little squirt? What for?
Shawn O'Hara, Seabiscuit's Trainer:
I like him.
Ted Knowles, Jockey:
But he hasn't got a chance. George doesn't think so either, or he wouldn't be shipping him.
Shawn O'Hara, Seabiscuit's Trainer:
I think you're both mistaken.
Ted Knowles, Jockey:
Well, if you're so sure, why don't you buy him yourself?
Shawn O'Hara, Seabiscuit's Trainer:
No, no. So long as I train for other people, I'll never race one of me own. I might be tempted to give him special consideration.
Ted Knowles, Jockey:
I feel the same way myself.
