If whoever gives him the money knows he'll be able to sell the animals he captures, 02:52.000 --> 02:53.000 they'll feel safe. 02:53.000 --> 02:55.000 That's the idea Jerry. 02:55.000 --> 03:00.000 They already know from your Uncle's past record that he'll be able to make his catches. 03:00.000 --> 03:02.000 And now that he's got a market for the animals he gets, 03:02.000 --> 03:05.000 well it's a good investment to give him the loan. 03:05.000 --> 03:07.000 Was he happy about it? 03:07.000 --> 03:09.000 Oh, you just bet he was. 03:09.000 --> 03:12.000 Say he'd leave for Africa tonight if possible. 03:12.000 --> 03:13.000 Jiminy, I'm sure glad. 03:13.000 --> 03:15.000 At last he'll be doing what he wants to do. 03:15.000 --> 03:19.000 Well, now what was it that you wanted to see me about? 03:19.000 --> 03:24.000 Oh, well I got so interested in what you were telling me that I completely forgot about Speed. 03:24.000 --> 03:25.000 Uh, what? Speed? 03:25.000 --> 03:27.000 Yeah, he's a fella. 03:27.000 --> 03:29.000 I mean, I wanted to ask you if you'd give him a job. 03:29.000 --> 03:32.000 He'd be a good man Mr. Randall. You'll like him. I know you will. 03:32.000 --> 03:35.000 No, no, no. Wait a minute, wait a minute. Not so fast. Take it easy. 03:35.000 --> 03:36.000 Well, what's this all about? 03:36.000 --> 03:38.000 Well, I'll start at the beginning. 03:38.000 --> 03:41.000 Yeah, yeah. That's a very good idea. Go ahead. 03:41.000 --> 03:45.000 Well, in the first place, one of the Russos horses got away. 03:45.000 --> 03:46.000 What's this? 03:46.000 --> 03:48.000 Sure, and it was Rex, one of the fastest ones they owned. 03:48.000 --> 03:52.000 Yeah, yeah. I know the one you mean. A spirited animal if there ever was one. 03:52.000 --> 03:56.000 Well, he got away from one of the hustlers when they were leading him over to the big top this afternoon. 03:56.000 --> 03:59.000 He ran right up that steep rocky hill over that way. 03:59.000 --> 04:01.000 Well, did they get him back all right? 04:01.000 --> 04:04.000 Sure, but let me tell you, that's where Speed comes in. 04:04.000 --> 04:05.000 All right, go ahead. 04:05.000 --> 04:08.000 Well, I started to go get Splendor Saddle and take him out after Rex. 04:08.000 --> 04:11.000 And as I started toward the horse stop, I met this man, Speed. 04:11.000 --> 04:13.000 Fine time to stop and get acquainted with strangers. 04:13.000 --> 04:15.000 Oh, I didn't stop. I kept on going. 04:15.000 --> 04:18.000 But I told him that a horse got away and ran up the hill. 04:18.000 --> 04:19.000 Yeah, yeah. And then what? 04:19.000 --> 04:23.000 Well, before I knew it, Speed was running right up that hill and the direction Rex went. 04:23.000 --> 04:26.000 Oh, taking out after a fast animal like that on foot? 04:26.000 --> 04:28.000 Uh-huh. And he caught Rex, too. 04:28.000 --> 04:30.000 Oh, now wait a minute, Jerry. 04:30.000 --> 04:32.000 Honest he did, Mr. Randall. 04:32.000 --> 04:34.000 I got Splendor Saddle and started up the hill. 04:34.000 --> 04:39.000 But before I got all the way to the top, Speed caught Rex and was starting down. 04:39.000 --> 04:41.000 And that's why I think he'd be a good man to hire. 04:41.000 --> 04:45.000 But, uh, well, what can he do besides run? 04:45.000 --> 04:48.000 Well, I don't know, but I should think he'd be a good act. 04:48.000 --> 04:53.000 Oh, no, no, I... I can't agree with you this time. 04:53.000 --> 04:57.000 It wouldn't be much of a novelty to see a man run around the ring even though he is fast. 04:57.000 --> 05:01.000 All right, then. But, well, how about him running against a horse? 05:01.000 --> 05:02.000 Say that again? 05:02.000 --> 05:06.000 I said, how about having him run in a race with a horse? 05:06.000 --> 05:08.000 Well, uh, you really think he can? 05:08.000 --> 05:12.000 You should just see how fast he is. Come on out and meet him, Mr. Randall. 05:12.000 --> 05:14.000 Well, all right, I will. 05:14.000 --> 05:15.000 Come on, Rex. 05:15.000 --> 05:17.000 All right, go ahead. 05:17.000 --> 05:18.000 Okay. 05:18.000 --> 05:21.000 Oh, Speed. 05:21.000 --> 05:22.000 Right here, Jerry. 05:22.000 --> 05:24.000 Come here a minute. 05:24.000 --> 05:27.000 You've got long enough legs to be a fast runner. 05:27.000 --> 05:28.000 Yes, sir, yeah, I come. 05:28.000 --> 05:30.000 This is Mr. Randall Speed, the owner of the circus. 05:30.000 --> 05:32.000 Powerful, glad to meet up with you, sir. 05:32.000 --> 05:34.000 Oh, I'm glad to know you, Speed. 05:34.000 --> 05:37.000 Jerry here tells me you're a pretty fast runner. 05:37.000 --> 05:38.000 Well, I can run all right, sir. 05:38.000 --> 05:41.000 I just said you could run a race with a horse. Isn't that so? 05:41.000 --> 05:42.000 I reckon so. 05:42.000 --> 05:44.000 Well, now, that's a fairly big order. 05:44.000 --> 05:45.000 I'm aware of that, sir. 05:45.000 --> 05:47.000 It might be that I could use you for... 05:47.000 --> 05:51.000 Let me try it, sir. I really need work mighty bad right now. 05:51.000 --> 05:53.000 Well, all right. 05:53.000 --> 05:56.000 Let's find out just how this idea of Jerry's going to work out. 05:56.000 --> 05:58.000 Shall I go get a horse, Mr. Randall? 05:58.000 --> 06:00.000 Yeah, do that. Speed and I will walk over to the big... 06:00.000 --> 06:02.000 No, no, wait, wait. There goes one of the horsemen. 06:02.000 --> 06:03.000 Now, who is that fellow, Jerry? 06:03.000 --> 06:05.000 Let's see.

11:15.000 --> 11:17.000 Well, I don't know yet, Boris. 11:17.000 --> 11:19.000 But what little you told me sounds good. 11:19.000 --> 11:21.000 And it is good, my dear Patsy. 11:21.000 --> 11:25.000 You do not think for one minute Boris Rousseau would go into anything 11:25.000 --> 11:27.000 unless it was the best kind of a deal. 11:27.000 --> 11:28.000 I shouldn't think so. 11:28.000 --> 11:32.000 You can trust the man of my caliber, and my business ability is the best. 11:32.000 --> 11:35.000 Yes, but Olga said that there's always a certain amount of risk 11:35.000 --> 11:36.000 in taking a circus to a foreign country. 11:36.000 --> 11:38.000 Oh, you get very conservative, Patsy. 11:38.000 --> 11:41.000 But you should know I would not want you to put your money into something 11:41.000 --> 11:44.000 that would be, would not be a safe investment for you. 11:44.000 --> 11:46.000 I would not be so heartless. 11:46.000 --> 11:48.000 Tell me, Boris, just how much of an interest in the show 11:48.000 --> 11:50.000 could I get for my $20,000? 11:50.000 --> 11:52.000 Well, I should say roughly about a fourth interest. 11:52.000 --> 11:55.000 And that means you would receive a fourth of all your profits. 11:55.000 --> 11:58.000 Besides, of course, your salary is a star attraction. 11:58.000 --> 12:01.000 I might add that your salary would be a very generous one. 12:01.000 --> 12:03.000 Doesn't that sound good?

Over to the horse top? 12:30.000 --> 12:32.000 No, he went over to the wagon, I think. 12:32.000 --> 12:33.000 Anything important? 12:33.000 --> 12:35.000 Yes, I want him to come over to the office wagon, 12:35.000 --> 12:37.000 a package just arrived for him from Richard Grayson. 12:37.000 --> 12:39.000 Oh, I'll bet it's the contents of that safety deposit box. 12:39.000 --> 12:42.000 I'll go tell him, Mr. Randall.
