Bat Masterson1958
Hugh Blaine:
Does a trotter lift all four feet off the ground at the same time?
William Barclay 'Bat' Masterson:
That's one of the oldest arguments in horse racing. For what's it's worth, I'd say when its racing, a trotting horse has all four feet off the ground.
Roger Purcell:
It's not worth much without proof, Mr. Masterson.
[to Blaine]
William Barclay 'Bat' Masterson:
You made a bet where the burden of proof is on you?
Hugh Blaine:
Yeah.
William Barclay 'Bat' Masterson:
How much is the bet?
Roger Purcell:
Exactly fifty thousand dollars.
William Barclay 'Bat' Masterson:
Is this some kind of joke?
Roger Purcell:
If it is, the laugh's on your friend Blaine. You've got just three days to find that proof... or the money.
