Jim Douglas:
I think Mr. Thorndyke is a little mixed up about who or what won that race.
Peter Thorndyke:
And what does that mean?
Jim Douglas:
Some day I'll teach you not to confuse the car with the driver.
Peter Thorndyke:
I should welcome the opportunity.
Carole Bennett:
Mr. Thorndyke, I think that's a very good idea of yours.
Peter Thorndyke:
What is?
Carole Bennett:
You're racing in the Libra Open at Riverside at the end of the month, right?
Peter Thorndyke:
Yes.
Carole Bennett:
Well, I'm sure that Mr. Douglas would like to get the remainder of his payments off his back.
Peter Thorndyke:
No doubt. Why should I think that is such a good idea?
Carole Bennett:
Well, if Mr. Douglas entered the race, he could bet his share of the little car against the remaining payments.
Peter Thorndyke:
[liking the idea]
What do you say, Douglas? Winner to become the sole owner of the car.
[Jim says nothing, but stands up and walks a few feet away]
Peter Thorndyke:
A moment ago, you mentioned teaching me a lesson. Do I now detect a note of timidity?
Jim Douglas:
Racing. That's the name of the game, isn't it? Win or lose, put up or shut up. You got yourself a deal, Thorndyke.
