Lon McCallister Quotes:

Meg Mogan: She hurt bad?
Nath Storm: She's dead.


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.


Margaret O'Hara: Aren't you going to have some of your chocolate cake? Wong makes it grand.
Ted Knowles, Jockey: No, I can't touch it. But, I could have some if... Margaret, listen to me. You wouldn't marry Ted Knowles the jockey. Would you marry Ted Knowles your Uncle Shawn's assistant?
Margaret O'Hara: Ted, do you really think he meant you?
Ted Knowles, Jockey: Yes, that scheming, conniving old faker. He's as sound as he ever was. You know what I think? You put him up to it.
Margaret O'Hara: Oh, no, Ted. It was his idea entirely.
Ted Knowles, Jockey: You O'Haras. I think maybe I'm marrying a -
[Margaret kisses him]
Margaret O'Hara: An O'Hara will do anything to get what he wants. At least, that's the way it is with this O'Hara.
[Ted kisses her]
Ted Knowles, Jockey: [pulls out a wedding ring] Here. Try this on.
Margaret O'Hara: Oh, Ted, darling. It's sparkling like my heart. And how did you happen to bring it along tonight? Could it be, now, that you've planned the whole thing with Uncle Shawn?
Ted Knowles, Jockey: No. I bought it the day before I went to the hospital. I've been carrying it around just in case. The O'Haras have nothing on the Knowles when it comes to getting what they want.
Margaret O'Hara: Ted, darling, you're a wonderful boy to give up what you love best for me.
Ted Knowles, Jockey: What I used to love best doesn't count anymore. You're my favorite across the board.
