• Looney : [after Trotter won but Looney didn't even bet]  I'd hate to have to walk around this track with seven hundred dollars cash.

  Jay Trotter : Seven hundred and TEN - and you'll never have that problem, because the only reason I won is that you didn't bet! You are the unluckiest person in the world!

  Looney : Am not!

  Jay Trotter : Am!

  Looney : Am not!

  Jay Trotter : Am!

  [pulling out his racing form] 

  Jay Trotter : Who do you like in the second?

  Looney : The six horse looks pretty good...

  Jay Trotter : [dramatically crosses out the six horse on his racing form]  You got a brother?

  Looney : In Cleveland.

  Jay Trotter : Call him up, ask him who he likes. I figure it's in the blood!

• Jay Trotter : Stay on the track!

  Looney : The horse can't hear you!

• [Watching toteboard go from 40-1 to 8-1] 

  Looney : Probably some coke dealer went nuts again.

• Looney : I'm sure glad I didn't bet.

  Jay Trotter : You didn't bet?

  Looney : I woulda had a heart attack.

• Looney : [following Trotter as he leaves the betting booth]  Hey, Trotter! I got an idea on how we can make some money. We take the tape, right. We play it for the trainer. With what he just made on that last race, maybe he wouldn't mind slippin' us like five grand...

  Jay Trotter : ...I already got rid of the tape.

  Looney : [drops to his knees]  AAAHHHHHH!

  Jay Trotter : I just saved you from a lengthy jail sentence.

  Looney : I'LL GET YOU FOR THIS!

  [slams his money on the betting counter] 

  Looney : Fifty bucks on Junebug to win! It's the same name as my cat.
