Flying really sucks,

:13:08
Mally No Show.
:13:09
What's the score on her?
:13:11
50-to-1 .
:13:13
l can read.
l mean, how does she run?

:13:16
l don't know shit from horses.
l just put up the names.

:13:20
She started out at 20-to-1 .
:13:24
The smart money must figure
she ain't got a chance.

:13:28
You want to bet or not?
:13:31
Maybe later.
:13:39
Ed's Pony Book.
:13:41
You got a horse in the 1 0th race
called Mally No Show.

:13:44
-Got a line on her?
-Hang on.

:13:48
We've got her, 7 0-to- 1.
:13:50
70? lt was 60-to-1
1 0 minutes ago.

:13:53
So aren 't you glad you waited?
:13:55
But the odds are bound to go down.
No filly can be that bad.

:14:07
You found out l was right, didn't you?
:14:10
l didn't find out dick.
:14:11
But a horse named Mally No Show's
in the 1 0th race at Santa Anita.

:14:15
Somebody's betting she'll
drop dead at the starting gate.

:14:18
And this is the gate right here!
:14:20
You see? They're saying
we haven't got a chance!

:14:24
For all l know,
it's just a coincidence.

:14:27
lt's not a coincidence.
There isn't any 1 0th race at Anita!

:14:33
Wagon's outside.
:14:35
What about that horse?
:14:36
75-to-1 .
Sounds like a real nag.

:14:40
Go back home. Leave me be.
Call it off. Please!

:14:43
We're splitting right now.
:14:45
One of you call Hertz or Avis.
l don't care which one.

:14:48
Have them leave me a car
between here and the airport.

:14:51
Leave the keys. l'll pay
once she's on the plane.

:14:55
lf, and l say if,
what you're saying is true. . .

:14:58
. . .somebody's betting l can't do my job.
They're full of shit!
