Quotes from The Story of Seabiscuit
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.
Shawn O'Hara, Seabiscuit's Trainer: A good soldier, home from the wars.
Mrs. Charles S. Howard: So many, many battles, poor darling.
Ted Knowles, Jockey: No Santa Anita for us, fellow.
Charles S. Howard, Seabiscuit's Owner: Don't say that yet, Ted.
Ted Knowles, Jockey: What else would I say?
Charles S. Howard, Seabiscuit's Owner: I don't know. What about it, Shawn?
Shawn O'Hara, Seabiscuit's Trainer: The stud is the place for him, sir.
Charles S. Howard, Seabiscuit's Owner: He can't be brought back?
Shawn O'Hara, Seabiscuit's Trainer: I don't think so.
Mrs. Charles S. Howard: But Charlie, he's earned a rest.
Charles S. Howard, Seabiscuit's Owner: You brought back Golden Girl, remember?
Shawn O'Hara, Seabiscuit's Trainer: A young thing that ran half a dozen races with a feather on her back. He's run near 100, 30 of them in record time with high weight on him.
Charles S. Howard, Seabiscuit's Owner: Then there's no chance?
Shawn O'Hara, Seabiscuit's Trainer: A faint one, if any.
Charles S. Howard, Seabiscuit's Owner: Faint or not, we'll take it. Not even you can talk me off the Biscuit, Shawn.
Shawn O'Hara, Seabiscuit's Trainer: As you say, sir.
Charles S. Howard, Seabiscuit's Owner: Well, what's the program?
Shawn O'Hara, Seabiscuit's Trainer: Well, give up everything else and devote ourselves to nursing him alone.
Charles S. Howard, Seabiscuit's Owner: All right, that's it. Ted, you stay and help us. We'll bring you back, too.
Ted Knowles, Jockey: Thank you, sir. I'll stay.
Ted Knowles, Jockey: You know, you've got an accent just like old Shawn. On you I like it.
Margaret O'Hara: My, you're a fast starter.
Ted Knowles, Jockey: That's my reputation. Then you did know all along who I was.
Margaret O'Hara: I found out.
Ted Knowles, Jockey: Interested?
Margaret O'Hara: I should have known you were a jockey.
Ted Knowles, Jockey: Oh, that's all right. I can't expect you to know everything before we've even got started.
Margaret O'Hara: Jockey's have sort of a special something about them that's easy to tell.
Ted Knowles, Jockey: Uh, the bandy legs?
Margaret O'Hara: 'Tis more a secret thing of the spirit, I'm thinking.
Ted Knowles, Jockey: Say, what's your name?
Margaret O'Hara: Margaret O'Hara.
Ted Knowles, Jockey: Margaret. I'll tell you what, Margaret. I'll win my first race this year for you, if you promise to be there with maybe a two-spot on his nose.
Margaret O'Hara: No. Never.
Ted Knowles, Jockey: Why not?
Margaret O'Hara: It would be bringing back a black memory to torment me.
Ted Knowles, Jockey: Well, now who's talking crazy? Look, Margaret, I've got to work a couple more horses. Where can I see you again soon?
Margaret O'Hara: No place at all.
Ted Knowles, Jockey: No place at all? Am I that hard on the eyes?
Margaret O'Hara: You're not hard on the eyes at all, Ted, but you're a jockey. Goodbye.
