Quotes from
Thomas Milford, Owner Milford Farms:
Did you buy anything?
Charles S. Howard, Seabiscuit's Owner: No, but I'm going to buy one now, if you'll sell. I saw a three-year-old of yours running in a selling race this afternoon, smallish sort of colt with big knees, Seabiscuit.
Thomas Milford, Owner Milford Farms: Seabiscuit? Why do you want him?
Charles S. Howard, Seabiscuit's Owner: Well, you can't shoot for the stakes all the time. I gotta have some horses for cheap races. He was entered for 6000. Will you take 8000 for him?
Thomas Milford, Owner Milford Farms: Well, I think so. How about it, George?
George Carson, Head Trainer at Milford Farms: The string's pretty large, boss. We've got a lot like him.
Thomas Milford, Owner Milford Farms: It's a deal, Charlie.
Charles S. Howard, Seabiscuit's Owner: Good. We'll get him tomorrow. By the way, Tom, I hired Shawn O'Hara on the strength of your letter.
[Mr. Milford and George look at each other and laugh]
Charles S. Howard, Seabiscuit's Owner: What's the joke?
Thomas Milford, Owner Milford Farms: Oh, nothing. Only George and I know now why you want the Biscuit. And listen, Charlie, when you get him back to California, don't let Shawn stable him in the living room!
Ted Knowles, Jockey: Margaret's in Los Angeles, isn't she?
Shawn O'Hara, Seabiscuit's Trainer: Yes, she's a full-fledged nurse now.
Ted Knowles, Jockey: You know, I can't get her out of my mind.
Shawn O'Hara, Seabiscuit's Trainer: Maybe you don't want to. Are you in love with her, Ted?
Ted Knowles, Jockey: You're darn tooting.
Shawn O'Hara, Seabiscuit's Trainer: I'm tooting she's in love with you, too.
Ted Knowles, Jockey: So, that ought to make it a sure thing, but it doesn't.
Shawn O'Hara, Seabiscuit's Trainer: You'll have to bear with her, Ted. She's running away from Danny's memory.
Ted Knowles, Jockey: But she's not running away from it, Shawn. It's right with her all the time. I wonder if she saw me ride a winner if maybe that would fix things. What do you think?
Shawn O'Hara, Seabiscuit's Trainer: That's an idea. I'll have her at the track for the San Carlos.
Ted Knowles, Jockey: Oh, that'll be great.
Shawn O'Hara, Seabiscuit's Trainer: Now, Maggie, hold your horses!
Margaret O'Hara: Don't ever mention horses to me again!
Shawn O'Hara, Seabiscuit's Trainer: If you'll only listen, I'll explain. An emergency call. Woolf signed with another stable. Ted was obligated to save the situation.
Margaret O'Hara: Why Ted? There are jockeys to be had for the asking.
Shawn O'Hara, Seabiscuit's Trainer: None of them who know the Biscuit as well as Ted. And Maggie, darling, I had the devil's own time convincing him. But I finally persuaded him that you would see things in the proper light.
Margaret O'Hara: Oh, I should never have trusted him alone with you. You're a deceitful old man. And tell me this, Shawn O'Hara: Why should I see it in what you're pleased to call the "proper light"?
Shawn O'Hara, Seabiscuit's Trainer: Because as promised, it would have led to the lad's ruination. He was losing respect for himself. And before long, he would have lost respect for you as well. Now, go to him and tell him that you're as happy as a lark that he's riding the Biscuit in the handicap.
Margaret O'Hara: I can't do that. You ought to understand. You know how I feel.
Shawn O'Hara, Seabiscuit's Trainer: I understand this, Margaret, that you're lacking in courage.
Margaret O'Hara: That's not fair.
Shawn O'Hara, Seabiscuit's Trainer: Margaret, you've been running and running away from your problem instead of turning around and facing it squarely. Ted's going to ride in the big race. And I want you to want him to ride. It's the only thing that'll cure you.
Margaret O'Hara: Since when did your great knowledge of horseflesh extend itself to women? You-you two-faced old meddler!
