Short filmTranscript
00:00Once upon a time, there were three little girls who went to the police academy.
00:16And they were each assigned very hazardous duties.
00:22But I took them away from all that, and now they work for me.
00:26My name is Charlie.
01:00And I'm Charlie.
01:30And I'm Charlie.
02:00And I'm Charlie.
02:30Charlie, I'll meet you around the back. You guys in there.
03:01Hold it! Right there!
03:11Well, what are you doing down here, David?
03:16Taking a walk. It relaxes me.
03:18Yeah, well, that's very interesting.
03:20Because the sound of that burglar alarm makes me very nervous.
03:23Well, you're nervous tight, McMasters.
03:25You smart-mouthed punk, you!
03:28That'll cost you, McMasters.
03:30Yeah?
03:31Yeah.
03:32I lost my head.
03:33His lawyer screamed at the D.A., and I drew a heavy reprimand.
03:36How much money is involved, Ben?
03:38City security says there's about $40,000 missing.
03:41Well, with our share of 10%, that would come to only $4,000.
03:46Bosley, this one will chalk up to an old friendship.
03:49Appreciate it, Charlie.
03:50Well, I'll see you later.
03:53Bosley, this one will chalk up to an old friendship.
03:55Appreciate it, Charlie.
03:57How do we proceed?
03:58Carefully.
03:59If I so much as lean against David's apartment house, they're gonna take my badge.
04:03We'll handle it, Ben. Don't worry.
04:05Now, what can you tell us about David?
04:07Well, he's tough, clever.
04:08A thief and a compulsive gambler. That's his life.
04:11A man with a monkey on his back.
04:13The size of King Kong.
04:15He gavels what he steals, and when he loses, then he steals again.
04:18And if he wins, and sometimes he does, then he's Mr. Upright Citizen.
04:22You mean if he hits a win streak with the $40,000, he'll stay on the right side of the law and you can't touch him?
04:27Something like that.
04:29Charlie, are you thinking what we're thinking?
04:32The picture is coming into focus.
04:35Somebody mind clearing it up for me?
04:37If we arrange for Mr. Roy David to tap out, then he'd have to steal again.
04:49Paddock.
04:51Chick.
04:52Hmm?
04:53It's for you.
04:54You can take it in the booth.
04:55Oh, okay.
04:57Thanks.
05:00Who's the Flash?
05:02I drifted in yesterday.
05:03He's making book.
05:05Just what we need.
05:07Giving track odds.
05:09I'm not sure if I can do it.
05:11You can do it.
05:13He's making book.
05:15Just what we need.
05:16Giving track odds.
05:19That's a switch.
05:20Yeah, well, we'll see how long he stays in business.
05:26Just check around.
05:28Oh, thank you.
05:35Little Daniel in the fifth.
05:36Gotcha.
05:40160.
05:41Mm-hmm.
05:51Thank you very much.
05:53Are you going to be around tomorrow?
05:55How else can I get even?
05:57I'll give you a call.
05:58I know.
05:59Bye-bye.
06:41Mm-hmm.
06:59Three, four, five, 56, 20, 40, 60, 80, 7, 10.
07:07Thanks a lot, Chick.
07:09I'll see you around.
07:10Oh, yeah.
07:14Can I buy you a drink?
07:16Yeah, why not?
07:19Corbin, that lady seems to have some kind of winning streak going on.
07:23Yeah.
07:24You're not a cop, are you?
07:27Hardly.
07:28If I was a cop, I would have nailed you days ago.
07:30Horse player, huh?
07:32Story of my life.
07:34To the winners.
07:36Gambling's best advertisement.
07:38Especially if they look like, uh, what's her name?
07:41Sabrina.
07:42Yeah.
07:44Funny thing about it is, she doesn't need the money.
07:46Not really.
07:48What do you mean?
07:49She and her sister, uh, Kelly, they inherited some money not long ago.
07:54Last name's Duncan.
07:56The Computer Duncans.
07:58Well, you've got some kind of customer going there.
08:02Yeah, except for one catcher.
08:04She doesn't lose much.
08:07Oh, well.
08:14Thank you for the drink.
08:37Thank you.
09:07Thank you.
09:37Thank you.
10:07You're about to have company.
10:32What, are you leaving?
10:33Yeah, tough day.
10:35Poor baby.
10:38Buy you a drink.
10:39No, thank you.
10:40I don't usually drink with strangers.
10:42Let me fix it.
10:43My name is Roy David.
10:45How nice.
10:46And you're Sabrina Duncan.
10:50Um, how did you know that?
10:55Well, when it comes to beautiful women, I, uh, asked your bookmaker.
11:01My bookmaker?
11:03Really, Mr. David?
11:04I have a drink.
11:05What would your sister object?
11:07Two scotch.
11:09What's my sister got to do with it?
11:11Take my sister, for instance.
11:13Very protective.
11:14Doesn't agree with some of the things I do.
11:16So I try to spare her, you know?
11:18One should try not to disappoint their loved ones.
11:21Don't you feel that way?
11:23Listen, uh, I think somehow you've gotten the wrong idea about me, Mr. David.
11:27Call me Roy.
11:28I'll call you Sabrina.
11:30Then we won't be strangers anymore.
11:32Families in general, sisters in particular?
11:34Listen, you don't know me, and you don't know my sister.
11:39Now, if you'll excuse me.
11:41You're wrong.
11:42I know a great deal about Kelly.
11:43And offhand, I'd say she'd be very unhappy if someone were to tell Computrex
11:47that you and Kelly were using a computer to play the ponies.
11:50Look, um, I don't know what you're talking about.
11:55You better stick to playing the ponies, lady, because you're a lousy poker player.
11:59Sit down.
12:02Sit down.
12:10Okay.
12:12Okay, now listen, Kelly doesn't know anything about it.
12:14I used her keys to go in after hours.
12:18If she were to find out...
12:20Yeah, she'd cut off your inheritance, you'd be playing at 9 to 5 someplace, I know.
12:24Something like that, yes.
12:26Well, it doesn't have to be that way.
12:28I could forget everything I know.
12:31What's the going price for amnesia?
12:34Show me how to do it.
12:36Are you kidding?
12:37Do I look like I'm kidding?
12:40You don't look like you're ready for a six-month computer course, either.
12:46Okay, then you do it.
12:48Bring me a winner tomorrow.
12:51Tomorrow's Monday. The tracks close on Monday.
12:53Then you come in here Tuesday with a horse.
12:56Or you're going to be the sorriest little handicap a racing's ever known.
13:07Now, all we need is a sure thing for tomorrow.
13:09Charlie said if anyone could come up with a winner, it'd be Pinky Tibbs.
13:12Yeah, yesterday I bet a horse 15 to 1.
13:15It came in at quarter past 2.
13:17We'd laugh, Pinky, if this wasn't so serious.
13:20You and Charlie don't want much, do you?
13:22The sorriest day of my life is when I learned to read this thing.
13:26What race did you have in mind?
13:28You pick one.
13:29Well, I've already been over the charts. Let's see.
13:31The fifth. Your best bet is the fifth race.
13:34It's a claiming race. There are three possible winners.
13:37Could you narrow it to one?
13:39One? If I could pick one out of all this,
13:41you'd think I'd be out here in the morning at 5 o'clock?
13:44The best I can do is narrow it to three.
13:47You know what?
13:48Five o'clock?
13:49The best I can do is narrow it to three.
13:52Well, three isn't very narrow.
13:55Diamond Stickpin, class horse.
13:58Ladies only. Real slick trainer, Bill Fawcett.
14:01Yeah, he's been stiffing the horse, waiting for a soft spot and long odds.
14:05And Cindy Song.
14:06Yeah, early speed and good post position.
14:09Which one do you like?
14:10I kind of like Diamond Stickpin.
14:13Unless...
14:14Unless what?
14:15Unless it's one or the other two.
14:18Well, then somehow we've got to get ladies only and Cindy Song out of the race.
14:23Good luck.
14:24There's one other thing. We also need a loser.
14:32147 and three.
14:34You're looking at him.
14:36Pinky's dream.
14:37Your horse?
14:39My nightmare.
14:49All right.
14:56Honey, I'm right with you.
14:57Honey, I'm right with you.
14:59Hurry.
15:00Oh, look.
15:02Oh, beautiful.
15:03Honey.
15:04Howdy, partner.
15:06My name is Jimmy Joe Peepers and this here is my little lady, Cinderella.
15:10Hi.
15:11Cindy, for short.
15:12Same name as your little old filly there.
15:14Oh, honey, she's pretty and a speckled pup.
15:16You've got to have her, honey bunch.
15:18We've been admiring your horse, Mr. Platt.
15:20And life would be just a slide off a donut if I could get her for my little Cindy.
15:25She's not for sale.
15:26I think you'll find Jimmy Joe more than generous.
15:28You see, money makes no never mind.
15:30It's not the money, Mr. Peepers.
15:32Oh, you just called me Jimmy Joe.
15:34All the folks back home do.
15:35As I was saying, it's not the money, Mr. Peepers.
15:38Cindy Song will probably go off the favorite tomorrow.
15:41I expect to win that race with her.
15:43Honey, look.
15:44We've only just now had it and already she's smitten with me.
15:49Oh.
15:51I feel exactly the same way about her, Ms. Peepers.
15:54I raised her from a yearling.
15:56Honey, if I don't have that little old horse over there, I'm going to be as sorry as gully dirt.
16:01Oh, precious.
16:03You see the kind of spot I'm in, Mr. Platt?
16:05I'd give you $10,000 for Cindy Song right this very minute.
16:09Not for sale.
16:11$15,000.
16:13Appreciate your generosity.
16:15She's just not for sale.
16:18Honey, you know that race she's racing in tomorrow?
16:21Isn't that what y'all call a claiming race?
16:23I believe it is, honey bunch.
16:25Well, doesn't that mean that even if she's just entered in it, we can up and buy her if we want to?
16:30Yes, it does, precious. It surely does.
16:34You take your sliding donut and throw it in your gully dirt, Jimmy Joe.
16:38It'll be a cold day in hell before I run Cindy Song with you around to claim her.
16:46Like a mule rolling a horse.
16:51There's a horse running in the fifth race tomorrow called Ladies Only that couldn't lose if I rode it.
16:55I heard the same thing.
16:57The horse's trainer is Bill Fawcett and he's been laying back for months waiting for the long odds.
17:02I'm going to tell my daddy to bet $10,000 on it.
17:05You think he will?
17:07If he still wants to be my daddy, he will.
17:10Right, honey?
17:23Manny?
17:24Bill Fawcett.
17:26You been running off at the mouth, Manny?
17:28Yeah, I'll tell you why.
17:30There's some broad down here going to have her old man bet 10 G's on Ladies Only tomorrow.
17:34You know what that'll do to the odds, Manny?
17:37Well, I don't care about that.
17:39We didn't set this up to make even money.
17:41Now you scratch him, scratch him.
18:05Where have you been?
18:07I've been waiting for you.
18:08Yeah, relax, okay?
18:09There's a diamond stick pen in the pen.
18:11The fifth race goes off in a couple of minutes.
18:13I'm not going to get it down.
18:14There's Chick.
18:15He pays track odds.
18:16Oh, good.
18:19Chick, listen, man.
18:21Let me have $1,000 down a diamond stick pen, fifth race at Los Alamedas.
18:26To win.
18:27Make mine 200, Chick.
18:29You're down.
18:32Give me a mobile operator, please.
18:37Bosley?
18:41Gotcha.
19:01Remember, ladies and gentlemen, the next race is an exactor wage of race.
19:06Probably exactor prices are listed on the television monitors situated throughout the clubhouse.
19:12The horses are now at the gate.
19:24Number 5, 10 times, please.
19:28Number 5, 10 times, please.
19:34And returning for home, it's Vicarious, Spark of Life, and Rensina.
19:38It's Vicarious, Spark of Life, and Rensina.
19:41And here comes Diamond Stick Pen.
19:43It's Vicarious, Spark of Life, and Diamond Stick Pen.
19:46Vicarious and Diamond Stick Pen.
19:48Diamond Stick Pen getting up and winning at the wire with Vicarious second and Spark of Life third.
19:58Diamond Stick Pen paid 2 to 1.
20:013,000, right?
20:05And 600 for the little lady.
20:09Now, you folks will excuse me.
20:15Okay.
20:16We're square now, right?
20:18You're square if you think we're finished doing business, lady.
20:21Hey, now, wait a minute. Now, I thought...
20:23Never mind what you thought.
20:25The styles tonight bet was kid stuff.
20:27Tomorrow, we're gonna make Chick wish she never heard off-track betting.
20:30I want another horse.
20:33Got it?
20:55Okay.
21:1720 big ones.
21:18Put it on the nose of Pinky's dream.
21:20Seventh race, Los Alamitos.
21:22Make it 21 big.
21:25What's the name of that horse again?
21:27Pinky's dream.
21:29You're down.
21:30Good.
21:33At the half, it's Pinky's dream by half a length.
21:36King William by a neck.
21:38Sleepwalker by two lengths.
21:39And here comes Water Baby between horses.
21:41It's King William and Sleepwalker.
21:43Water Baby moves to the outside.
21:45It's Water Baby, Sleepwalker, and King William.
21:48It's Water Baby by two lengths and going away.
21:51Water Baby wins it by five lengths,
21:53with Sleepwalker second by a length,
21:55followed by King William and the rest of the field.
22:02Where's the girl?
22:05You got me. I was listening to the race.
22:08Where's the bookmaker Chick?
22:11Well, the last time I saw him, he was on the phone.
22:21Oh, my God.
22:52Where's Kelly Duncan's office?
22:54Nobody by that name here.
22:56Wait a minute.
22:57I saw her sister here Sunday.
22:58Her name was on that register.
23:00Couldn't be. We're closed on Sunday.
23:02Are you in the red?
23:11Yeah.
23:13I'm in the red.
23:15I'm in the red.
23:17I'm in the red.
23:19Yeah.
23:21Yeah, about $20,000.
23:50That's great.
23:58Oh, you're great.
24:00Why can't I do that?
24:02Good boy.
24:04And...
24:06That's great.
24:13It's 18...
24:1570...
24:1819...
24:2116...
24:23All right.
24:2514...
24:30Blackjack.
24:34It's incredible.
24:36Listen, did Charlie explain to you exactly what we're up to?
24:39You want to beat this guy for the rest of the money he stole.
24:42Another $22,000 to be exact.
24:44We've arranged that the cinema club will need a dealer tomorrow night.
24:47Charlie was pretty sure of me, wasn't he?
24:49Well, he thought it might appeal to your sense of adventure.
24:52It does.
24:54Are you sure the sorority David character will be there?
24:56We've checked. He's there every Monday night.
24:58If he's going to lose, who's going to win?
25:01I am.
25:03I hope I can pull it off.
25:05I'm not used to winning.
25:07I remember.
25:09You bring the money to me, not the restaurant.
25:11Ha, ha, ha.
25:41Oh, my God.
26:12I always feel like saying Joseph.
26:14Incredible.
26:16Hello.
26:18What'll it be tonight, Miss Monroe?
26:20Um, blackjack.
26:26Seven on the winner, winner, winner, seven.
26:28Good luck tonight.
26:30Thank you.
26:37Could I have some $5 chips, please?
26:39Yes, ma'am.
27:10I'm good.
27:16Give me a little kiss.
27:40Thank you.
27:46Hey, Jean.
27:48Uh, pay me.
27:50All right.
28:00Let me have another $5,000, Jean.
28:02Wow, $5,000.
28:04Well, rather than beautiful.
28:06Oh, I'm not.
28:08I'm impressed.
28:10Me, too.
28:22Place it there.
28:38Thank you.
28:46I'm good.
28:49A little kiss.
29:05Pay $19.
29:08Thank you.
29:16Boy, are we hot tonight.
29:18Shall we bet $4?
29:20Well, whatever you say.
29:39Down for double.
29:52I'll go for that.
29:58Oh, I'm sorry.
30:00Um...
30:02Yeah.
30:08Thank you.
30:18$20. Pay $21.
30:21Pay me.
30:35Dealer takes pushers.
30:37Listen, I'll ask for one.
30:39I'm sorry, sir.
30:41What's a push?
30:43If you tie the dealer, the dealer wins.
30:46Well, it was your idea to bet the $4.
30:59Nine. Nine's the point.
31:01Nine will win the money.
31:07Nine, a one-line. Winner, nine. Pay the line.
31:11Here.
31:17Phew.
31:19Miss?
31:21Oh, I'm sorry. Hit me.
31:37Still impressed?
31:39You can't always lose.
31:42Why does it say that?
31:45How do you think?
31:47I'd like that.
31:49Me, too.
31:50Thank you.
31:54And what's your name?
31:56Jill Monroe.
31:59That's nice. I'm Roy Davis, and I'm glad to meet you.
32:04I'm surprised you'd be glad about anything.
32:06You just lost $10,000.
32:08Well, it's not whether you win or lose, right?
32:10But how you play the game.
32:12Speaking of how you play the game,
32:14I wouldn't think that hitting 18 is a good percentage bet.
32:16Did I do that?
32:18You didn't know you did that?
32:20Well, I gamble because I'm bored.
32:23What's your excuse?
32:25Well...
32:27I'm like the mountain climber.
32:30I gamble because there's a game.
32:35Uh...
32:44I gamble on sunsets.
32:46I gamble on dog races.
32:48And I gamble on finding a bored and beautiful woman
32:51to have a drink with to change my luck.
32:53I think there's a compliment in there.
32:56Yeah. Painted in red?
32:59I'm sorry. The lady's distracted.
33:02Uh, how do I get the lady's attention?
33:05Call me tomorrow?
33:07Well, uh, tomorrow's six yards further than I can see.
33:11Oh, you are a typical gambler.
33:15Yeah, you're not.
33:17Let's just say my head's in a different place.
33:21I'd love to, uh, visit that place sometime.
33:25You would?
33:27Well, I'm sorry, but this trip's solo.
33:30Oh.
33:31Shall we go try our luck?
33:33Come on.
33:34Okay.
33:36Seven. Front line. Winner, winner, winner.
33:38Pay the line.
33:40Ten. Winner, ten.
33:42Against the point. Ten to the winner.
33:44Game easy. Bet it hard.
33:47Terminate fielding. Every roll.
33:49Place your bets, please.
33:51Eleven. Winner, eleven. Pay the line.
33:54Vince?
33:56How about we take off the limit?
34:01Seven. Winner.
34:04I'll be happy to accommodate you, sir.
34:07And good luck.
34:08Thank you.
34:09Does that go for me, too?
34:11Of course.
34:14Ten thousand.
34:16Ten thousand.
34:32Thank you.
34:36Five thousand.
34:38I'll get some.
34:40Five thousand's a nice round, uh...
34:44It's a bet.
34:46I think I'll just sit this one out.
34:49Cards, please.
34:51Uh, wait a second, wait a second.
34:53Uh, this lady's not playing.
34:55Uh, why don't I put five thousand on her spot?
35:02Okay.
35:03If he can bet ten thousand dollars, why can't I?
35:07The limit is off, sir.
35:09You can bet whatever you'd like.
35:14I mean, I'll...
35:23Cards, please.
35:25Ten thousand.
35:43I'll play these.
35:47I'll have to ask you to play one hand at a time, sir.
35:50I know the rules.
35:56Ten thousand.
36:04That'll be good.
36:13Hit me.
36:19Okay.
36:25Ten.
36:30Ten.
36:37Twelve.
36:39Okay.
36:42Nineteen. Pay twenty.
36:49Pay twenty.
36:52That's what I got.
36:54Ten.
36:59Twenty.
37:20That's why you drink?
37:22Yeah, uh...
37:25How about a twenty-two thousand dollar martini?
37:52Twenty-two.
38:22Twenty-two.
38:52Yes, yes, yes.
39:10Somebody get an ambulance.
39:15I'll carry over.
39:22Don't touch him, Dolly. They never move anybody.
39:24That's awful.
39:26Gosh, he's such a creep.
39:28He never gets stopped.
39:30Did anybody get the license number?
39:32No, I didn't.
39:33I didn't either.
39:34Did you see it?
39:35No.
39:36But did you see...
39:37Oh, that's horrifying.
39:52Hello?
40:23Oh.
40:28You okay?
40:29Oh, yeah.
40:31Who hired the stunt driver?
40:32Bosley.
40:33Naturally.
40:34Hey, listen, you guys.
40:35Get a move on.
40:36I gotta get this buggy back in half an hour.
40:38Shh.
40:52Shh.
41:22Shh.
41:52Shh.
42:22Shh.
42:52Shh.
43:22Shh.
43:52Shh.
44:22Shh.
44:39Oh.
44:46Oh, I'm so sorry.
44:48Look what I've done to your car.
44:49The seat.
44:50Oh, listen, don't worry.
44:51I'm completely insured.
44:52I'll take care of everything.
44:53Listen.
44:54You're not hurt, are you?
44:55I'm in an awful hurry, so what we'll do is we'll settle it later.
44:59I will exchange driver's licenses and get in touch tomorrow.
45:01You okay?
45:02I guess so.
45:03I sure hope you don't get whiplash or something.
45:06Oh, listen, this was all my fault.
45:08This poor man was just sitting here, and I didn't even see him.
45:11Look what I've done to his car.
45:13Yes, ma'am, I can sure see that now.
45:14Why don't you just calm down a little bit?
45:16Has anybody been hurt here?
45:17No.
45:18You all right?
45:19Let's give you a hand with that.
45:20I got it.
45:21I got it.
45:22I got it.
45:23No problem.
45:26Now, here.
45:27Let me help you.
45:28Let me help you.
45:29All right.
45:30You pull and I'll push down.
45:31Ready?
45:32All right.
45:33Here we go.
45:34Ready?
45:35Okay.
45:36There.
45:37That'll do it.
45:38That's great.
45:39All right.
45:40Now, would either one of you like to fill out an accident report?
45:41Not me.
45:42Both insured, are you?
45:43Oh, I am.
45:44Yeah, I am, too.
45:45Listen, I'm in an awful hurry, so I thought we'd just exchange driver's licenses and,
45:49you know, like, we'll do it tomorrow.
45:51Oh, sure.
45:52That's all right.
45:53As long as there's not more than $250 damage here.
45:55Hey, no.
45:56No, listen.
45:57I got a friend who's gonna...
45:58He could do that for $200.
46:00He owes me a favor, so he probably could do it.
46:02You two work it out.
46:03Okay.
46:10We're all straightened out.
46:11Ask them.
46:14Oh, do you have an extra pencil?
46:17Thank you.
46:19You know, uh, I can't seem to find my glasses.
46:22Lady, you should have been wearing them.
46:24Please, just hurry up.
46:25Just please, hurry up.
46:26Oh, here they are.
46:30Please hurry up.
46:31I don't have all day.
46:35Oh.
46:36I don't think you're going anywhere with that.
46:44How the hell did that happen?
46:46Well, I can't tell you how sorry I am.
46:48You said that already.
46:49Well, I'll help you fix it.
46:51Forget it.
46:54I don't have a jack.
46:55Oh, you can use mine.
46:58You helped me enough already.
46:59All right?
47:00You better stick around.
47:01We'll probably need you.
47:02I don't have a...
47:03I don't have a spare.
47:05Now, wait a minute.
47:06You just told me you didn't have a jack.
47:07You mean you don't have a spare either?
47:09You certainly can't leave it here.
47:11Let me drive it to a gas station.
47:12How's that?
47:13Temper, temper.
47:14Look, we're only trying to help you.
47:16I don't want your help.
47:17I could write you up for not having a jack and a spare.
47:21You know, he could.
47:22I mean, you really shouldn't be driving around without proper driving equipment.
47:28Why, you've got a jack and a spare.
47:34Mister, you've got a whole lot of money in here.
47:39Did you know that?
47:48Come on.
47:50Come on, come on.
47:52Come on.
47:53Come on, come on.
47:56Freeze up!
48:18THE GIRL
48:28It's a trap, man.
48:30It was this girl.
48:31She planted the plans on me.
48:33What girl?
48:34The girl I'm telling you about.
48:35The one that was killed in the hit and run.
48:36Hit and run?
48:37What are you, calling bananas?
48:39You know anything about a hit and run?
48:40When?
48:42This morning.
48:43I saw the whole thing.
48:44The girl got killed.
48:45Who got killed?
48:46The girl I'm telling you about.
48:48There was an ambulance there and everything.
48:51What are you talking about?
48:52I mean, that's my beat.
48:53If there was an ambulance call, I'd know about it.
48:55I saw the girl get killed, Ben.
49:02There she is.
49:03There's the...
49:10Not a bad looking corpse.
49:17There's an explanation for this.
49:20Go ahead.
49:21Explain.
