:28:00
What else is there?
:28:10
We've got a problem.
:28:15
We both can't win.
:28:18
No. That's not the problem.
:28:21
-The problem is, I can't afford to lose.
-Who won the Gans-Nelson fight?
:28:26
Gans, on a foul, in the 42nd round.
:28:30
The greatest fighter I ever saw in my life,
black or white.
:28:34
Won me $300, which I ran into $2,000.
Most of it old Parker's money.
:28:40
-Anyway....
-You know, I'm un-American?
:28:46
What's that?
:28:50
I don't know exactly.
:28:54
Except, if you're not the best...
:28:59
...or the first and the greatest,
if you don't win...
:29:04
...then you're not American.
:29:06
-Which brings us to the problem.
-I didn't know Joe Gans was a black man.
:29:12
I just bet everything on this race.
I got 7-to-1.
:29:20
You bet $2,000?
:29:26
-On yourself?
-Who else?
:29:29
Well, that's not so serious.
:29:31
All you got to do is beat
J.B. Parker's champion horse...
:29:34
...and J.B. Parker's champion rider,
and J.B. Parker's champion disposition.
:29:38
No. That ain't all.
:29:40
My bet says no other rider
in the race will beat mine.
:29:45
That's in writing and that's a problem.
:29:49
Miss.
:29:53
You got nothing to worry about.
:29:55
You admit that you can out-drink...
:29:58
...out-fight, out-shoot, out-jump...
