John Mason:
And this is where The Prince is stab... Oh, Sir Robert. Sorry to disturb you. This is Joe Barnes. Uh, Josiah's boy.

Sir Robert Norberton:
I know who he is, Mason. What's he doing here?

John Mason:
He's keen to race horses.

Joe Barnes:
I can ride, Sir Robert. I'd like to be a jockey.

Sir Robert Norberton:
Would you?

Joe Barnes:
More than anything in the world.

Sir Robert Norberton:
Well, that's good, very good, but what has it got to do with me?

Joe Barnes:
I thought I could work for you.

Sir Robert Norberton:
I have all the jockeys I need.

Joe Barnes:
Please give me a chance, sir. I'll muck out the stables, clean the yard, anything you want.

Sir Robert Norberton:
I'll think about it.
