That Girl (1966–1971): Season 5, Episode 22 - Two for the Money - full transcript
While on a modeling job at the race track, Ann can't keep her mind on her work as she is more preoccupied with the favor she agreed to do for three of Donald's friends: place a $15 bet on the daily double. Although she has trouble even remembering the horses to bet on, novice bettor Ann does manage to place the bet. She continues to be distracted by what is happening on the track until the end of the second race, when she learns that she is holding onto a winning $500 ticket. The next problem becomes the fact that she can't find the ticket. After learning that she needs the ticket to collect while not being able to find it, Ann becomes resigned to the fact that she will owe Donald's friends the money. But Donald tells her that she owes them not the $15 from their original bet as she believes, but rather the $500 the winning ticket is worth. Donald thinks Ann may be off the hook when his friends, who believe that Ann the model is their lucky charm, ask her to place a $500 bet on a long shot in a race the following day on a horse named Lucky Model. Donald suggests to Ann that she not make the bet on the high probability that Lucky Model won't win, and thus that $500, which no longer exists, will really be gone in the eyes of his friends. Will Ann tell them the truth and pay them the $500, or will she not make the bet on the high probability that 8:1 long shot Lucky Model will lose like she always does, which also means that Ann would owe the guys $4,500 if Lucky Model actually wins?
[Announcer over P.A.]
Good afternoon, racing fans.
Welcome to the 23rd
day of our 45-day meeting.

some of the nation's top
four-year-olds to the post

the Michael Powell Stakes.

4 and 5, 4 and 8, 4 and 11.
I'd like $15 worth of
the daily double, please.
Lady?
Yes, sir.
Would you like to
tell me the numbers?
Oh!
Of course. How stupid of me.
I don't really know very much
about betting on the races.
I'm mean, I'm just doing this
for some of Donald's friends.
Hey, lady.
Oh, uh, yes, sir.
Um, 4 and 5.
No, wait!
No, uh... It's, uh...
Oh, my gosh, I've
forgotten the numbers.
Oh, no, this can't happen.
Uh... Oh, my gosh, Ann.
Come on, think positive.
It's, uh... It's, uh, 4 and 5.
No, no. 2 and 4.
Uh, no, wait. Uh, 6 and 7.
Uh... I've got it.
You gonna tell me?
As soon as I find it.
Let's move it, will you, lady?
Yes, sir. I'm just coming.
Oh, oh. Here it is.
3 and 4.
Sir, I-I found it. 3 and 4.
Are you sure?
Oh, yes. See? 3 and 4.
Thank you.
See? 3 and 4.
3 and 4 eight times.
- I told her to be here at this time...
- Here I am!
- I told you
I'd just be a minute.
- It's about time, sweetheart.
- Okay.
- Here we go, honey.
What do you want, Barney?
Now, Ann, the next shot is very
important for the visual expression.
- Right?
- Yes.
I want you to look, um, a
bit more mysterious, hmm?
All right.
It is now post time.
- The flag is up...
- [bell ringing]
and they're off!
- [crowd cheering]
- That's mysterious?
Uh, oh. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Try a little, uh,
Garbo-ish. Okay?
How about if I
put the collar up?
Yeah, that's it.
Okay, good.
It's Big Sam now in front...
There you go. There you go.
Santana, Burnt
Almond, Feeling Fine...
Where'd you go? Ann.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Where is 3? Where is 3?
Come on. Will you pay attention?
- Yes. Yes.
- Come on, it's picture time.
- Okay.
- Another pose. Okay, now. Very easy.
All right, now, yeah,
drape the leg over there.
Yeah, that's it, sweetheart.
Now freeze that.
Prime Factor is second,
Santana coming on third.
Posthaste is fourth,
Burnt Almond fifth.
Miss Victory, Little Nicky,
Courageous, Posthaste,
and Feeling Fine.
Ann, will you pay attention?
Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry,
Barney. Please forgive me.
I'll pay attention from now on.
I-I was just listening.
Whatever you want
me to do, I'll do.
Just tell me what
you want me to do.
- Okay, now get over on the other...
- Shh!
And that's Feeling
Fine trailing the field.
Number 3.
Forget number 3, will
ya? Now pay attention.
Yeah. Oh, beautiful. That's it.
Ann, just do me a favor and
wet your lips a little, honey.
Big Sam in front
by a half a length.
Santana second by one.
- Burnt Almond third...
- Yeah, good. Hold.
Okay, here you go.
Little Nicky, Courageous,
and Posthaste.
- Ann.
- It's Santana now
moving up right along side...
- Ooh! Ubu...
- with Big Sam on the inside.
Hey, Ann, where you going?
Ann!
Aah! Aah!
Who's number 3?
Number 3 is Santana.
My number 3 is Santana?
- Did you win?
- I won! I won!
Oh, that's fantastic!
Well, I didn't really win.
I mean, it wasn't my bet, but
I did have a lot to do with it.
[Man] In the first race today,
there were no late scratches.
Off at 131 1/2.
The winner is number 3, Santana.
[cheering]
- We won!
- We're gonna be rich!
Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
You still got one
more race to go.
You're right.
Then we'll be rich.
[Announcer over
P.A.] Into the far turn,
it's Aces Full in front
by a half a length.
Monotony is second.
A gap of two lengths,
Slide Ban is third.
Mr. Kaye is fourth,
Stout-Hearted fifth,
Fearless Lover,
Rimbaud, In Balance...
Come on, Fearless Lover!
Down the stretch it's Monotony
in front by a length and a half.
Aces Full is second, and
Fearless Lover coming on.
- It's now Monotony...
- [cheering]
and Fearless
Lover on the outside.
Fearless Lover and Monotony.
Monotony and Fearless
Lover. Fearless Lover...
And at the wire
it's Fearless Lover,
finishing first by
a half a length.
- I won! I won!
- Marvelous!
- I can't believe it.
- He did it.
I can't believe it!
I have them both!
I just can't believe it.
Hi. I'm Ann Marie and I've
just won the daily double.
The horses are 3 and 4.
That's fine. Congratulations.
How would you like
your money, in 20s?
Oh! That'd be great.
C-Could I see
your ticket, please?
Oh, my ticket. Sure. Sure.
I just can't believe it.
Oh. I can't find it.
I'm afraid you'll have
to step out of line, then.
- I'm... I'm sorry.
- Oh, no, listen.
I won! I can prove it.
Let's just ask the man who sold me
the ticket, because he'll remember me.
- I know that for sure.
- I can't.
You see, there's a long line
of people waiting to be paid...
How about... How about
if I bring him to you?
- Well, I don't think...
- Well, please. Oh, please.
Please, just tell me
where I can find him.
Why don't you try over
by the sellers' window?
Oh, fine. Okay.
I'll be right back.
Don't give my part away.
- Yeah?
- How do you do? I'm Ann Marie.
- How are you?
- I'm just fine, thank you.
Listen, could I speak to the
man who sells the tickets?
Sure. There are 27
men who sell the tickets.
You're kidding.
Wait a minute.
Are you the one who
asked for 4 and 5?
And then 5 and 4?
And 2 and 4?
Yeah. I'm famous, huh?
In the employees'
lounge you are.
- Charlie?
- Yeah?
Nick the Greek
is here to see you.
Hi! I was telling
the boys about you.
Yeah, I heard.
Listen, Charlie...
Is it all right if I
call you Charlie?
- Sure, sure.
- Good. Thanks.
Listen, Charlie, I've
got a terrible problem.
Can I talk to you for a minute?
Oh, yeah. Well, come on in.
- Sit down.
- Fine. Listen.
You remember I bought 3 and 4?
- Yeah. Yeah.
- Oh, good.
And all the other
guys know I did, too.
Right. Well, I mean, I
changed a few of the words
to make it funnier.
That's all right.
Might get it in The
Union Magazine.
Listen, if you need
a good ending,
I lost the ticket.
You're kidding.
Davy, you were right.
She went and lost the ticket.
Listen, would you mind
coming over with me
to the cashier's window
and just tell the man
that I was holding
the winning ticket?
That won't do any good.
Well, you're in the
same union, aren't you?
Sure, but you gotta
have the ticket.
Yeah, well, if he's
your union brother,
he should believe you.
It has nothing
to do with belief.
Now, suppose we paid you.
Somebody might find your ticket,
and we'd have to pay him, too.
No, you wouldn't.
You'd just arrest him when
he comes to the window.
How would we know who he is?
He'll have a ticket
with 3 and 4 on it.
[Man] the track was fast.
The results of the second race:
the winner, number
4, Fearless Lover.
[cheering]
We won! We won!
- Congratulations!
- I knew we'd win it! I knew it!
Hey, wait a minute. Listen.
Let's throw a big
part at Nino's, huh?
- Sounds great!
- Don and Ann will be
our guests of honor.
- [telephone ringing]
- [all shouting]
Hello. Ann!
It's Ann. Honey, listen.
The guys can't thank you enough
for placing that bet for them.
[men laughing]
What? You did what?
Oh... Oh, really?
[nervous laugh]
Isn't that cute?
Honey, this is useless.
Oh, Donald, please
don't say that.
It's bound to be
around here someplace.
If you just would've helped me.
Help you?
I have been helping you
for the past two hours.
Yeah, but your
heart's not in it.
You've already made up your mind
that we're not going to find it,
and you just practically
jinxed everything.
I've jinxed everything?
It's bound to be here someplace.
I'm going to find it.
Oh, excuse me, sir, but
have you by any chance
run across the
daily double ticket
with the numbers 3 and 4 on it?
- Nope.
- Oh.
Well... Well, if you do,
will you let me know?
Because I've lost that ticket,
and it's so
important that I find it.
Ann, honey, that man is only
here to find winning tickets.
He's not walking around
looking for losing tickets.
He doesn't care
whether you lost it or not.
Oh, really?
Excuse me, sir.
But I have just learned
that you're looking for tickets
to win at the expense
and sadness of others.
Well, that's up to you,
but let me just say this.
If you find a ticket with
the numbers 3 and 4 on it,
well, just let your
conscience be your guide.
- And may I just say this?
- What?
Finders keepers, losers weepers.
It's all right, honey.
We'll find a way to pay
back the guys their money.
Oh, Donald, not
we. I lost the ticket.
I'll pay them back their money.
I've got $15 in the apartment
that I was saving
to buy a radio with.
- I'll give them that.
- But, honey...
No, no, Donald. I insist.
It'd be wrong of
me not to own up
to my own responsibility.
Ann, you don't understand.
You don't owe them $15.
Oh, Donald, yes, I do.
It'd be very nice of them not
to make me pay the money
just because I'm your
fiancée, but that's not right,
and I'm not going
to let them do it.
Honey, try to follow this.
You don't owe them
$15, you owe them $500.
500? How... How 500?
They gave me 15.
I'll give them 15 back.
What 500, Donald?
Because the ticket you
bought with their $15
was worth $500.
Yeah, but I...
You didn't lose their $15 cash.
- No, I was careful.
- You lost their $500 ticket.
When I lose, I lose.
So you don't owe them $15.
Go ahead. Go ahead, say it.
But if you say one more time
that I have to pay them $500,
I'm going to get an attack.
And I found out you
don't have to say it.
I can get an attack
from hearing me say it.
Honey, come on, let's go.
Oh, Donald, how could I
be so stupid and careless?
I'm no good for you, Donald.
I only cause misery
and heartaches.
What are you doing?
I'm going to write them
their check for $500.
Ann, do you have
$500 in the bank?
Of course not.
But when I give it to them,
and I tell them what happened,
and I cry all over them,
they'll never take it.
Donald, are you sure
I don't owe them $15?
Look, honey, suppose
you gave someone money
to place a bet,
and the horse won.
And then the person said to you,
"Oh, yeah, well, too
bad. I lost the ticket."
Would you believe them?
If you told me
you lost the ticket,
I'd believe you, Donald.
Sure, but you're not engaged
to the guys at the office.
Honey, look, you're just going
to have to pay them that $500.
I mean, that's it.
That's the code of the gamblers.
What code of the gamblers?
When you agree to
place a bet for someone,
you are responsible
from that point on.
Okay, okay. I'll
write them the check.
Ann, you said you didn't
have any money in the bank.
Look, honey, let
me take care of it.
I have $500 in the bank.
Absolutely not, Donald.
I've written the check
and I've postdated it
for four months from now.
By that time, I'll
have the money.
Come on, let's go.
Donald, do you
like that picture?
Yeah.
Would you give me $500 for it?
- Come on, let's go...
- How about $350? 2?
There. There he is. Hi, John.
- [men greeting]
- Hi.
Guys, I'm sorry we're late.
John, listen. Something's
come up and we...
You're guests of
honor. Sit down.
Sit down. Come on, you
gotta have a drink with us.
Matter of fact, a toast.
A toast to the girl who
won us $500 today, huh?
Toast her? Let's burn her.
Oh, uh, fellas, I'm...
I'm sure you want to see
the, uh... the guest of honor.
Ah, don't you mean
guests of honor?
Like maybe about,
uh, 500 of them, huh?
Yeah, that's right.
That's the kind of party I like.
500 guests of honor.
Actually, I prefer a
more intimate gathering.
Like 15.
Uh, well, listen,
fellas. We've gotta run.
Ann's gotta get up
early in the morning.
She's gotta get back to the
track and finish her modeling.
Honey, why don't you
give them the money?
Hold it. Don't touch that money.
Don't let it out of
your lucky fingers,
you lucky model, you.
What are you talking about?
Look at this.
In the fifth race tomorrow,
where we have it underlined.
Lucky Model.
How about that?
It's like fate picked the horse.
Our lucky model is going to
put our $500 on Lucky Model.
I mean, that's too
great to be a hunch.
That's pure destiny.
Lucky Model's never won a race.
Not yet, but...
And plunk it all
down on Lucky Model,
tomorrow in the fifth, to win.
Th-This?
You... You want me to...
Ann, Ann. Honey, don't say it.
Don't say how thrilled
you are that these guys
are gonna trust you
with all that money.
No. I-I-I certainly won't.
Lucky Model.
Lucky Model.
- Here you go. Thank you very much.
- Thank you.
Oh, Donald, I still
don't understand this.
It's really very simple.
We are not going to
place that bet for them.
Then when the horse loses,
we don't owe them a penny.
Yeah, but what
if the horse wins?
Oh, honey, no chance. Come here.
Look at this.
Look. Lucky Model.
Look at that.
"Never better than
eighth at six furlongs."
And look at this.
"She goes out on top.
"And then, at
the half-mile post,
she's 6 lengths off the pace."
And here, look at the quarter.
"Never better than
fifth at the quarter."
I mean, she just
falls completely apart.
And look, honey.
Look at these work-outs.
"Handily at 18."
I mean, they should ban
that horse from the track.
Now look, tomorrow's
race is at a mile.
So if she's fifth
at the quarter,
she's going to be
completely out of it
when they come down the stretch.
I mean, it's,
Katy, bar the door.
Lucky Model doesn't
have a chance in a million
of winning that race, so
we don't make the bet.
Then, when the horse
loses, we keep our $500,
and we don't owe
anybody anything.
Yeah, but suppose it wins.
- Ah, it can't win.
- Yeah, but just suppose.
Ann, how can it possibly win?
It can win if all the
other horses die.
Ann, please.
Or if maybe the jockey's
having a birthday,
and all the other jockeys
decide to let him win as a present.
- How about that?
- That is ridiculous.
Or if we don't bet on it
and count on it to lose.
That's how it can win.
And if it does, how
much could we owe?
Well, I mean, honey,
it's such a long shot,
we could... we could owe $5,000.
- [gasps]
- Ann. Now, please, honey.
That's enough. Now stop it.
Just let me take care
of everything, okay?
Now just stop it.
Honey, how can you
have a whole apartment
without a pencil in it?
You're the writer.
I'm an actress.
You're the one that's
supposed to have pencils.
Here, here. Here's your pencil.
Look at this.
I look in every corner
of the apartment,
I can't find a pencil.
You look in one
spot and you find it.
That's me, lucky model.
Okay, lucky model,
we are gonna book
this bet ourselves.
What does that mean?
We are not going
to bet the $500.
Then, when the horse
loses, then we keep our $500.
If it wins, well, then, we
have to pay out the winner.
That's called "booking the bet".
That's where the term
"bookie" comes from.
Now what?
Yesterday, I didn't
know a single thing
about the horse races,
and today I'm a bookie.
Good afternoon, racing fans,
and welcome to the 24th
day of our 45-day meeting.
Today's feature race for
4-year-olds and upward
is the Briar Bush
Handicap at 1 mile and 1/8.
There are no late scratches
or rider changes
in today's program.
It is now post time.
The flag is up.
It should be at half mast.
[bell rings]
And they're off!
And 4 in the lead,
that's Native Pride.
Quickening is
second, Paragon third,
followed by Candy Cane.
Lucky Model is fifth,
Admiral's Best is sixth.
Going into the clubhouse turn,
it's still Quickening in front
on the inside by
a half a length.
Paragon is second,
Candy Cane third,
Native Pride fourth,
Lucky Model is fifth,
Moving Man, Daylight,
and Admiral's Best.
An attack. You know, horses
do have attacks, Donald.
Easy, honey. Now take it easy.
Down the back stretch,
it's Quickening by a length.
Paragon is second,
Candy Cane third.
A gap of three lengths.
Native Pride is fourth,
Lucky Model, Moving Man,
Daylight, and Admiral's Best
Is that bad? Is that bad?
It looks okay. Quickening
should win it easily.
Into the far turn,
it's Quickening
still in front by
a half a length.
Paragon is second on the inside,
Candy Cane third.
Lucky Model moving up.
Move down! Down
you're supposed to move!
Coming into the stretch,
it's Quickening in
front by a half a length.
Paragon is second,
Candy Cane third,
and going wide with Lucky Model
moving up alongside
into fourth place,
and Native Pride is fifth.
Is that good? Is that good?
I don't know, honey.
Down the stretch, it's
still Quickening in front,
with Lucky Model moving
up strongly on the outside.
Knock it off!
Heading for home, it's
Quickening on the inside.
Lucky Model...
Here, Lucky Model.
Here, Lucky Model.
- Here. Here.
- Native Pride is third,
and Admiral's Best is fourth.
It's Quickening and Lucky Model
now head and head.
It's Quickening.
It's Lucky Model.
Candy Cane is third,
and Admiral's Best is coming on.
It's Lucky Model and Quickening.
And at the wire,
it's Lucky Model by two lengths.
You stupid!
How could she win?
By two lengths.
Two lengths at 8 to 1.
At 8 to 1.
- We owe the guys...
- Don't.
- Okay.
- Say it.
- $4,500.
- Don't say it.
Attention, ladies and gentlemen.
Hold it, honey, hold it.
- What.
- Look.
- There has been a...
- What is it?
The flashing lights.
Involving horse
number 7, Lucky Model.
Oh, sure. Now they're flashing.
They couldn't
have flashed before
when they might have
distracted the horses.
Shh. Honey, listen. Just listen.
Please hold all
pari-mutuel tickets
until the result is
declared official.
What's happening?
What's happening?
- Oh, they've heard me.
Ther-Hang on, honey.tion.
They may just
disqualify Lucky Model.
Well, they should. He's
bad. He's really bad.
He can't be trusted.
Hold my hand.
Okay. It shouldn't
take long now. Listen.
The stewards have decided
Lucky Model bore
in on the stretch turn
and has been disqualified
and placed last.
The correct order of finish...
Quickening is first,
Admiral's Best second,
Paragon third, and the fourth...
She lost! We won!
She bore in, honey!
Oh, Donald!
You're boring! You're boring!
You don't win
when you're boring!
We won, we won!
Miss Marie!
- Miss Marie.
- Oh, hi.
I've been trying to catch
up with you since yesterday.
- Why?
- I found this
in the pocket of
the coat you wore.
Does it belong to you?
Oh, you're kidding.
Oh, Donald, what terrible luck.
Now we find the ticket.
- Hold it!
- What?
- I'll see you later.
- Bye. Thanks.
It's still good.
Yesterday's daily double?
Yes, sweetheart.
Honey, you turned out
to be Lady Luck after all.
Not only didn't Lucky Model win,
but after all that trouble,
you get to keep the
money from that ticket.
Oh, Donald, I couldn't
keep the money.
The money belongs to those guys.
No, it doesn't,
honey. Not anymore.
I mean, it's your money to keep.
That's the other part
of the gambler's code.
I don't think that's
right, Donald.
I don't think I should
keep the money.
I don't think I should.
Well, okay, honey.
It's up to you.
You do what you think is best.
["call to the post" bugle call]
It just doesn't seem right.
This isn't my money.
Fine, fine. Okay, fine.
Maybe I'll give
it to the jockey.
Yeah. Give it to the jockey.
The horses are
coming on the track.
What, are you crazy, Donald?
I should give $500
to a man I never met?
Okay, you do what you want.
I just don't know what to do.
Ridden by jockey Dave Byers,
is Annie's Guy.
The number 2 horse,
owned by Hillside Stables,
ridden by jockey Charles...
[crowd cheering on radio]
[track announcer]
And rounding the turn,
it's Lisa by two, Tommy
G, Windy Storm...
[knock on door]
- Who is it?
- [Donald] It's me, honey.
Coming down the
stretch, it's Windy Storm.
Coming up on the outside
and passing and
taking the lead...
it's Windy Storm, Lisa, Tommy G.
[door closes]
Windy Storm, Lisa, Tommy G.
Windy Storm and Tommy G.
And it's Windy
Storm, the winner.
Aah! I won another one!
That's a total of $300!
Did you have a bet on that race?
Only with myself.
I've been doing it
every Saturday for fun.
You see, I make a
make-believe $20 bet
on every single race,
and I can proudly say
that after five weeks,
I've got $300 in my win column.
Honey, that's great.
Maybe one week you really
ought to go out to the track
and really bet.
No, I don't... I
don't think I'd better.
I don't know, honey.
That's pretty good, $300.
Well, that's in my win column.
I happen to have
$3,000 in my lose column.
We won't go to the track.

Good afternoon, racing fans.
Welcome to the 23rd
day of our 45-day meeting.
The feature race today will send
some of the nation's top
four-year-olds to the post
in the 16th running of
the Michael Powell Stakes.
- Careful.
- There we go.
Okay?
Now, very easy, just
lean very gently, honey.
- Okay.
- Okay, darling,
you look just lovely.
Great. Wonderful.
There are no late scratches.
All right.
Now hold that.
[camera shutter clicking]
Great!
Great shot, Ann. Wonderful!
I just want to fix
that bow, darling.
- Okay.
- Well, Mr. Ascarelli?
- Divine. Simply Divine.
- ♪♪ ["First Call" on trumpet]
- Oh, thank you.
- No, no.
- The coat. The coat.
- Oh.
Hold it.
♪♪ [continues]
The horses are on the track.
- What was that?
- A trumpet.
You've heard a trumpet
before, haven't you?
Oh, my gosh!
My purse. Where's my purse?
- Well, I'll find it for you.
- Please, hurry.
- Hold it!
- What purse?
There's no purse
with that outfit.
Oh! Thank you.
Thank you so much.
- I'll be back in one minute.
- But they're waiting.
Miss Marie, they're waiting!
But she's running away in
one of my Ascarelli originals.
Stop that girl!

4 and 5, 4 and 8, 4 and 11.
I'd like $15 worth of
the daily double, please.
Lady?
Yes, sir.
Would you like to
tell me the numbers?
Oh!
Of course. How stupid of me.
I don't really know very much
about betting on the races.
I'm mean, I'm just doing this
for some of Donald's friends.
Hey, lady.
Oh, uh, yes, sir.
Um, 4 and 5.
No, wait!
No, uh... It's, uh...
Oh, my gosh, I've
forgotten the numbers.
Oh, no, this can't happen.
Uh... Oh, my gosh, Ann.
Come on, think positive.
It's, uh... It's, uh, 4 and 5.
No, no. 2 and 4.
Uh, no, wait. Uh, 6 and 7.
Uh... I've got it.
You gonna tell me?
As soon as I find it.
Let's move it, will you, lady?
Yes, sir. I'm just coming.
Oh, oh. Here it is.
3 and 4.
Sir, I-I found it. 3 and 4.
Are you sure?
Oh, yes. See? 3 and 4.
Thank you.
See? 3 and 4.
3 and 4 eight times.
- I told her to be here at this time...
- Here I am!
- I told you
I'd just be a minute.
- It's about time, sweetheart.
- Okay.
- Here we go, honey.
What do you want, Barney?
Now, Ann, the next shot is very
important for the visual expression.
- Right?
- Yes.
I want you to look, um, a
bit more mysterious, hmm?
All right.
It is now post time.
- The flag is up...
- [bell ringing]
and they're off!
- [crowd cheering]
- That's mysterious?
Uh, oh. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Try a little, uh,
Garbo-ish. Okay?
How about if I
put the collar up?
Yeah, that's it.
Okay, good.
It's Big Sam now in front...
There you go. There you go.
Santana, Burnt
Almond, Feeling Fine...
Where'd you go? Ann.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Where is 3? Where is 3?
Come on. Will you pay attention?
- Yes. Yes.
- Come on, it's picture time.
- Okay.
- Another pose. Okay, now. Very easy.
All right, now, yeah,
drape the leg over there.
Yeah, that's it, sweetheart.
Now freeze that.
Prime Factor is second,
Santana coming on third.
Posthaste is fourth,
Burnt Almond fifth.
Miss Victory, Little Nicky,
Courageous, Posthaste,
and Feeling Fine.
Ann, will you pay attention?
Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry,
Barney. Please forgive me.
I'll pay attention from now on.
I-I was just listening.
Whatever you want
me to do, I'll do.
Just tell me what
you want me to do.
- Okay, now get over on the other...
- Shh!
And that's Feeling
Fine trailing the field.
Number 3.
Forget number 3, will
ya? Now pay attention.
Yeah. Oh, beautiful. That's it.
Ann, just do me a favor and
wet your lips a little, honey.
Big Sam in front
by a half a length.
Santana second by one.
- Burnt Almond third...
- Yeah, good. Hold.
Okay, here you go.
Little Nicky, Courageous,
and Posthaste.
- Ann.
- It's Santana now
moving up right along side...
- Ooh! Ubu...
- with Big Sam on the inside.
Hey, Ann, where you going?
Ann!
Aah! Aah!
Who's number 3?
Number 3 is Santana.
My number 3 is Santana?
- Did you win?
- I won! I won!
Oh, that's fantastic!
Well, I didn't really win.
I mean, it wasn't my bet, but
I did have a lot to do with it.
[Man] In the first race today,
there were no late scratches.
Off at 131 1/2.
The winner is number 3, Santana.
[cheering]
- We won!
- We're gonna be rich!
Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
You still got one
more race to go.
You're right.
Then we'll be rich.
[Announcer over
P.A.] Into the far turn,
it's Aces Full in front
by a half a length.
Monotony is second.
A gap of two lengths,
Slide Ban is third.
Mr. Kaye is fourth,
Stout-Hearted fifth,
Fearless Lover,
Rimbaud, In Balance...
Come on, Fearless Lover!
Down the stretch it's Monotony
in front by a length and a half.
Aces Full is second, and
Fearless Lover coming on.
- It's now Monotony...
- [cheering]
and Fearless
Lover on the outside.
Fearless Lover and Monotony.
Monotony and Fearless
Lover. Fearless Lover...
And at the wire
it's Fearless Lover,
finishing first by
a half a length.
- I won! I won!
- Marvelous!
- I can't believe it.
- He did it.
I can't believe it!
I have them both!
I just can't believe it.
Hi. I'm Ann Marie and I've
just won the daily double.
The horses are 3 and 4.
That's fine. Congratulations.
How would you like
your money, in 20s?
Oh! That'd be great.
C-Could I see
your ticket, please?
Oh, my ticket. Sure. Sure.
I just can't believe it.
Oh. I can't find it.
I'm afraid you'll have
to step out of line, then.
- I'm... I'm sorry.
- Oh, no, listen.
I won! I can prove it.
Let's just ask the man who sold me
the ticket, because he'll remember me.
- I know that for sure.
- I can't.
You see, there's a long line
of people waiting to be paid...
How about... How about
if I bring him to you?
- Well, I don't think...
- Well, please. Oh, please.
Please, just tell me
where I can find him.
Why don't you try over
by the sellers' window?
Oh, fine. Okay.
I'll be right back.
Don't give my part away.
- Yeah?
- How do you do? I'm Ann Marie.
- How are you?
- I'm just fine, thank you.
Listen, could I speak to the
man who sells the tickets?
Sure. There are 27
men who sell the tickets.
You're kidding.
Wait a minute.
Are you the one who
asked for 4 and 5?
And then 5 and 4?
And 2 and 4?
Yeah. I'm famous, huh?
In the employees'
lounge you are.
- Charlie?
- Yeah?
Nick the Greek
is here to see you.
Hi! I was telling
the boys about you.
Yeah, I heard.
Listen, Charlie...
Is it all right if I
call you Charlie?
- Sure, sure.
- Good. Thanks.
Listen, Charlie, I've
got a terrible problem.
Can I talk to you for a minute?
Oh, yeah. Well, come on in.
- Sit down.
- Fine. Listen.
You remember I bought 3 and 4?
- Yeah. Yeah.
- Oh, good.
And all the other
guys know I did, too.
Right. Well, I mean, I
changed a few of the words
to make it funnier.
That's all right.
Might get it in The
Union Magazine.
Listen, if you need
a good ending,
I lost the ticket.
You're kidding.
Davy, you were right.
She went and lost the ticket.
Listen, would you mind
coming over with me
to the cashier's window
and just tell the man
that I was holding
the winning ticket?
That won't do any good.
Well, you're in the
same union, aren't you?
Sure, but you gotta
have the ticket.
Yeah, well, if he's
your union brother,
he should believe you.
It has nothing
to do with belief.
Now, suppose we paid you.
Somebody might find your ticket,
and we'd have to pay him, too.
No, you wouldn't.
You'd just arrest him when
he comes to the window.
How would we know who he is?
He'll have a ticket
with 3 and 4 on it.
[Man] the track was fast.
The results of the second race:
the winner, number
4, Fearless Lover.
[cheering]
We won! We won!
- Congratulations!
- I knew we'd win it! I knew it!
Hey, wait a minute. Listen.
Let's throw a big
part at Nino's, huh?
- Sounds great!
- Don and Ann will be
our guests of honor.
- [telephone ringing]
- [all shouting]
Hello. Ann!
It's Ann. Honey, listen.
The guys can't thank you enough
for placing that bet for them.
[men laughing]
What? You did what?
Oh... Oh, really?
[nervous laugh]
Isn't that cute?
Honey, this is useless.
Oh, Donald, please
don't say that.
It's bound to be
around here someplace.
If you just would've helped me.
Help you?
I have been helping you
for the past two hours.
Yeah, but your
heart's not in it.
You've already made up your mind
that we're not going to find it,
and you just practically
jinxed everything.
I've jinxed everything?
It's bound to be here someplace.
I'm going to find it.
Oh, excuse me, sir, but
have you by any chance
run across the
daily double ticket
with the numbers 3 and 4 on it?
- Nope.
- Oh.
Well... Well, if you do,
will you let me know?
Because I've lost that ticket,
and it's so
important that I find it.
Ann, honey, that man is only
here to find winning tickets.
He's not walking around
looking for losing tickets.
He doesn't care
whether you lost it or not.
Oh, really?
Excuse me, sir.
But I have just learned
that you're looking for tickets
to win at the expense
and sadness of others.
Well, that's up to you,
but let me just say this.
If you find a ticket with
the numbers 3 and 4 on it,
well, just let your
conscience be your guide.
- And may I just say this?
- What?
Finders keepers, losers weepers.
It's all right, honey.
We'll find a way to pay
back the guys their money.
Oh, Donald, not
we. I lost the ticket.
I'll pay them back their money.
I've got $15 in the apartment
that I was saving
to buy a radio with.
- I'll give them that.
- But, honey...
No, no, Donald. I insist.
It'd be wrong of
me not to own up
to my own responsibility.
Ann, you don't understand.
You don't owe them $15.
Oh, Donald, yes, I do.
It'd be very nice of them not
to make me pay the money
just because I'm your
fiancée, but that's not right,
and I'm not going
to let them do it.
Honey, try to follow this.
You don't owe them
$15, you owe them $500.
500? How... How 500?
They gave me 15.
I'll give them 15 back.
What 500, Donald?
Because the ticket you
bought with their $15
was worth $500.
Yeah, but I...
You didn't lose their $15 cash.
- No, I was careful.
- You lost their $500 ticket.
When I lose, I lose.
So you don't owe them $15.
Go ahead. Go ahead, say it.
But if you say one more time
that I have to pay them $500,
I'm going to get an attack.
And I found out you
don't have to say it.
I can get an attack
from hearing me say it.
Honey, come on, let's go.
Oh, Donald, how could I
be so stupid and careless?
I'm no good for you, Donald.
I only cause misery
and heartaches.
What are you doing?
I'm going to write them
their check for $500.
Ann, do you have
$500 in the bank?
Of course not.
But when I give it to them,
and I tell them what happened,
and I cry all over them,
they'll never take it.
Donald, are you sure
I don't owe them $15?
Look, honey, suppose
you gave someone money
to place a bet,
and the horse won.
And then the person said to you,
"Oh, yeah, well, too
bad. I lost the ticket."
Would you believe them?
If you told me
you lost the ticket,
I'd believe you, Donald.
Sure, but you're not engaged
to the guys at the office.
Honey, look, you're just going
to have to pay them that $500.
I mean, that's it.
That's the code of the gamblers.
What code of the gamblers?
When you agree to
place a bet for someone,
you are responsible
from that point on.
Okay, okay. I'll
write them the check.
Ann, you said you didn't
have any money in the bank.
Look, honey, let
me take care of it.
I have $500 in the bank.
Absolutely not, Donald.
I've written the check
and I've postdated it
for four months from now.
By that time, I'll
have the money.
Come on, let's go.
Donald, do you
like that picture?
Yeah.
Would you give me $500 for it?
- Come on, let's go...
- How about $350? 2?
There. There he is. Hi, John.
- [men greeting]
- Hi.
Guys, I'm sorry we're late.
John, listen. Something's
come up and we...
You're guests of
honor. Sit down.
Sit down. Come on, you
gotta have a drink with us.
Matter of fact, a toast.
A toast to the girl who
won us $500 today, huh?
Toast her? Let's burn her.
Oh, uh, fellas, I'm...
I'm sure you want to see
the, uh... the guest of honor.
Ah, don't you mean
guests of honor?
Like maybe about,
uh, 500 of them, huh?
Yeah, that's right.
That's the kind of party I like.
500 guests of honor.
Actually, I prefer a
more intimate gathering.
Like 15.
Uh, well, listen,
fellas. We've gotta run.
Ann's gotta get up
early in the morning.
She's gotta get back to the
track and finish her modeling.
Honey, why don't you
give them the money?
Hold it. Don't touch that money.
Don't let it out of
your lucky fingers,
you lucky model, you.
What are you talking about?
Look at this.
In the fifth race tomorrow,
where we have it underlined.
Lucky Model.
How about that?
It's like fate picked the horse.
Our lucky model is going to
put our $500 on Lucky Model.
I mean, that's too
great to be a hunch.
That's pure destiny.
Lucky Model's never won a race.
Not yet, but...
And plunk it all
down on Lucky Model,
tomorrow in the fifth, to win.
Th-This?
You... You want me to...
Ann, Ann. Honey, don't say it.
Don't say how thrilled
you are that these guys
are gonna trust you
with all that money.
No. I-I-I certainly won't.
Lucky Model.
Lucky Model.
- Here you go. Thank you very much.
- Thank you.
Oh, Donald, I still
don't understand this.
It's really very simple.
We are not going to
place that bet for them.
Then when the horse loses,
we don't owe them a penny.
Yeah, but what
if the horse wins?
Oh, honey, no chance. Come here.
Look at this.
Look. Lucky Model.
Look at that.
"Never better than
eighth at six furlongs."
And look at this.
"She goes out on top.
"And then, at
the half-mile post,
she's 6 lengths off the pace."
And here, look at the quarter.
"Never better than
fifth at the quarter."
I mean, she just
falls completely apart.
And look, honey.
Look at these work-outs.
"Handily at 18."
I mean, they should ban
that horse from the track.
Now look, tomorrow's
race is at a mile.
So if she's fifth
at the quarter,
she's going to be
completely out of it
when they come down the stretch.
I mean, it's,
Katy, bar the door.
Lucky Model doesn't
have a chance in a million
of winning that race, so
we don't make the bet.
Then, when the horse
loses, we keep our $500,
and we don't owe
anybody anything.
Yeah, but suppose it wins.
- Ah, it can't win.
- Yeah, but just suppose.
Ann, how can it possibly win?
It can win if all the
other horses die.
Ann, please.
Or if maybe the jockey's
having a birthday,
and all the other jockeys
decide to let him win as a present.
- How about that?
- That is ridiculous.
Or if we don't bet on it
and count on it to lose.
That's how it can win.
And if it does, how
much could we owe?
Well, I mean, honey,
it's such a long shot,
we could... we could owe $5,000.
- [gasps]
- Ann. Now, please, honey.
That's enough. Now stop it.
Just let me take care
of everything, okay?
Now just stop it.
Honey, how can you
have a whole apartment
without a pencil in it?
You're the writer.
I'm an actress.
You're the one that's
supposed to have pencils.
Here, here. Here's your pencil.
Look at this.
I look in every corner
of the apartment,
I can't find a pencil.
You look in one
spot and you find it.
That's me, lucky model.
Okay, lucky model,
we are gonna book
this bet ourselves.
What does that mean?
We are not going
to bet the $500.
Then, when the horse
loses, then we keep our $500.
If it wins, well, then, we
have to pay out the winner.
That's called "booking the bet".
That's where the term
"bookie" comes from.
Now what?
Yesterday, I didn't
know a single thing
about the horse races,
and today I'm a bookie.
Good afternoon, racing fans,
and welcome to the 24th
day of our 45-day meeting.
Today's feature race for
4-year-olds and upward
is the Briar Bush
Handicap at 1 mile and 1/8.
There are no late scratches
or rider changes
in today's program.
It is now post time.
The flag is up.
It should be at half mast.
[bell rings]
And they're off!
And 4 in the lead,
that's Native Pride.
Quickening is
second, Paragon third,
followed by Candy Cane.
Lucky Model is fifth,
Admiral's Best is sixth.
Going into the clubhouse turn,
it's still Quickening in front
on the inside by
a half a length.
Paragon is second,
Candy Cane third,
Native Pride fourth,
Lucky Model is fifth,
Moving Man, Daylight,
and Admiral's Best.
An attack. You know, horses
do have attacks, Donald.
Easy, honey. Now take it easy.
Down the back stretch,
it's Quickening by a length.
Paragon is second,
Candy Cane third.
A gap of three lengths.
Native Pride is fourth,
Lucky Model, Moving Man,
Daylight, and Admiral's Best
Is that bad? Is that bad?
It looks okay. Quickening
should win it easily.
Into the far turn,
it's Quickening
still in front by
a half a length.
Paragon is second on the inside,
Candy Cane third.
Lucky Model moving up.
Move down! Down
you're supposed to move!
Coming into the stretch,
it's Quickening in
front by a half a length.
Paragon is second,
Candy Cane third,
and going wide with Lucky Model
moving up alongside
into fourth place,
and Native Pride is fifth.
Is that good? Is that good?
I don't know, honey.
Down the stretch, it's
still Quickening in front,
with Lucky Model moving
up strongly on the outside.
Knock it off!
Heading for home, it's
Quickening on the inside.
Lucky Model...
Here, Lucky Model.
Here, Lucky Model.
- Here. Here.
- Native Pride is third,
and Admiral's Best is fourth.
It's Quickening and Lucky Model
now head and head.
It's Quickening.
It's Lucky Model.
Candy Cane is third,
and Admiral's Best is coming on.
It's Lucky Model and Quickening.
And at the wire,
it's Lucky Model by two lengths.
You stupid!
How could she win?
By two lengths.
Two lengths at 8 to 1.
At 8 to 1.
- We owe the guys...
- Don't.
- Okay.
- Say it.
- $4,500.
- Don't say it.
Attention, ladies and gentlemen.
Hold it, honey, hold it.
- What.
- Look.
- There has been a...
- What is it?
The flashing lights.
Involving horse
number 7, Lucky Model.
Oh, sure. Now they're flashing.
They couldn't
have flashed before
when they might have
distracted the horses.
Shh. Honey, listen. Just listen.
Please hold all
pari-mutuel tickets
until the result is
declared official.
What's happening?
What's happening?
- Oh, they've heard me.
Ther-Hang on, honey.tion.
They may just
disqualify Lucky Model.
Well, they should. He's
bad. He's really bad.
He can't be trusted.
Hold my hand.
Okay. It shouldn't
take long now. Listen.
The stewards have decided
Lucky Model bore
in on the stretch turn
and has been disqualified
and placed last.
The correct order of finish...
Quickening is first,
Admiral's Best second,
Paragon third, and the fourth...
She lost! We won!
She bore in, honey!
Oh, Donald!
You're boring! You're boring!
You don't win
when you're boring!
We won, we won!
Miss Marie!
- Miss Marie.
- Oh, hi.
I've been trying to catch
up with you since yesterday.
- Why?
- I found this
in the pocket of
the coat you wore.
Does it belong to you?
Oh, you're kidding.
Oh, Donald, what terrible luck.
Now we find the ticket.
- Hold it!
- What?
- I'll see you later.
- Bye. Thanks.
It's still good.
Yesterday's daily double?
Yes, sweetheart.
Honey, you turned out
to be Lady Luck after all.
Not only didn't Lucky Model win,
but after all that trouble,
you get to keep the
money from that ticket.
Oh, Donald, I couldn't
keep the money.
The money belongs to those guys.
No, it doesn't,
honey. Not anymore.
I mean, it's your money to keep.
That's the other part
of the gambler's code.
I don't think that's
right, Donald.
I don't think I should
keep the money.
I don't think I should.
Well, okay, honey.
It's up to you.
You do what you think is best.
["call to the post" bugle call]
It just doesn't seem right.
This isn't my money.
Fine, fine. Okay, fine.
Maybe I'll give
it to the jockey.
Yeah. Give it to the jockey.
The horses are
coming on the track.
What, are you crazy, Donald?
I should give $500
to a man I never met?
Okay, you do what you want.
I just don't know what to do.
Ridden by jockey Dave Byers,
is Annie's Guy.
The number 2 horse,
owned by Hillside Stables,
ridden by jockey Charles...

And rounding the turn,
it's Lisa by two, Tommy
G, Windy Storm...
[knock on door]
- Who is it?
- [Donald] It's me, honey.
Coming down the
stretch, it's Windy Storm.
Coming up on the outside
and passing and
taking the lead...
it's Windy Storm, Lisa, Tommy G.
[door closes]
Windy Storm, Lisa, Tommy G.
Windy Storm and Tommy G.
And it's Windy
Storm, the winner.
Aah! I won another one!
That's a total of $300!
Did you have a bet on that race?
Only with myself.
I've been doing it
every Saturday for fun.
You see, I make a
make-believe $20 bet
on every single race,
and I can proudly say
that after five weeks,
I've got $300 in my win column.
Honey, that's great.
Maybe one week you really
ought to go out to the track
and really bet.
No, I don't... I
don't think I'd better.
I don't know, honey.
That's pretty good, $300.
Well, that's in my win column.
I happen to have
$3,000 in my lose column.
We won't go to the track.
