The Story of Seabiscuit1949

Shawn O'Hara, Seabiscuit's Trainer:
You'll be right in your element here, Maggie. We're all nurses now.

Margaret O'Hara:
Nurses?

Shawn O'Hara, Seabiscuit's Trainer:
The patient is one little horse, Seabiscuit. We're getting ready to try for the Santa Anita again.

Margaret O'Hara:
But the paper said he was finished.

Shawn O'Hara, Seabiscuit's Trainer:
Yes, and I'd have sworn it, too, but now I know that so long as he can draw breath, you can't finish him. Tomorrow Ted is working him against the two best horses on the ranch.

Margaret O'Hara:
Ted? Is he here?

Shawn O'Hara, Seabiscuit's Trainer:
As if you didn't know.

Margaret O'Hara:
I've forgotten all about him. How is he?

Shawn O'Hara, Seabiscuit's Trainer:
Coming along as fine as Seabiscuit. In the Santa Anita, you'll see Ted up on him.

Margaret O'Hara:
I won't see him.

Shawn O'Hara, Seabiscuit's Trainer:
You still love the lad, Margaret.

Margaret O'Hara:
I tell you, he's out of my mind completely.

Shawn O'Hara, Seabiscuit's Trainer:
But not out of your heart.

Margaret O'Hara:
Sure and I can't help myself. Ah, the devil take Ted Knowles.

Shawn O'Hara, Seabiscuit's Trainer:
Margaret, your happiness is more important than the big race. Would it lift the cloud off your eyes if I tried to talk Ted out of riding?

Margaret O'Hara:
I'd be the happiest girl in the world. Uncle Shawn, you're a darling.

Shawn O'Hara, Seabiscuit's Trainer:
Oh, hold on now. It's not an accomplishment at yet.

Margaret O'Hara:
You won't have any trouble getting someone just as good as Ted to ride the Seabiscuit.

Shawn O'Hara, Seabiscuit's Trainer:
Well, I've asked George Woolf to stand by in case Ted doesn't come around soon enough. Jockey for jockey there's little to choose between them.

Margaret O'Hara:
Well then, things are going to work out right for everyone, aren't they?

Shawn O'Hara, Seabiscuit's Trainer:
'Tis to be hoped for, Maggie darling.
