Ted Knowles, Jockey:
Margaret.
Margaret O'Hara:
Was ever a woman so humiliated, to have her man stolen by a horse?
Ted Knowles, Jockey:
You don't really mean that it's over?
Margaret O'Hara:
'Tis not tricks that I'm up to, Ted. I came to say goodbye and to wish the two of you, you and Seabiscuit, the best of luck.
Ted Knowles, Jockey:
But, I thought you'd be able to forgive me when you saw how it was.
Margaret O'Hara:
Forgive you for allowing Uncle Shawn's evil, old tongue to sway you?
Ted Knowles, Jockey:
I'm not hiding behind your uncle.
Margaret O'Hara:
The old conniver. Oh, aren't you now? I suppose he had nothing to do with it.
Ted Knowles, Jockey:
I would have done it anyway. Because I love you, I thought it was the right thing for me to quit riding. But it wasn't right because it made me quit a loser. And this much I do know about the O'Haras, you wouldn't want a man that was a loser. So, I'll quit a winner or not at all.
Margaret O'Hara:
Is that all you have to say, Ted?
