00:00the battle of the sexes remind me again what's occurring former u.s. tennis champion noah
00:13renard has accepted a challenge laid down by the york tennis club for an exhibition match with
00:18sylvia dodson the ladies club champion hardly a fair match and why is that well for one he's a
00:25man and she's a woman she's also 10 years younger and fit as a fiddle well he hasn't played competitive
00:31tennis in years in fact he spent the last three days carousing around toronto still my money's on
00:37him care to take the wager ladies catch me gambling thomas i heard if miss dodson wins the club takes
00:45in 60 of the gate and if she loses the club gets 40 but if miss dodson forfeits then mr renard gets
00:52the entire gate so put me down for five on dodson
00:55ladies
01:09i hope you've got my money ready
01:15what an insufferable man i sure do hope miss dodson gives him a run for his money
01:20that mr renard is quite a character miss hart was telling me that if the match is forfeited
01:26then mr renard gets to receive the gate he insisted he claims it's to cover his own expenses
01:32for his own protection you know heaven willing everything goes as planned you see the the club
01:39has introduced this new bursary program for youngsters who couldn't otherwise get to play and
01:43it's frankly i think we're going to go broke however it will draw new money into our coffers and
01:49introduce new members if it were up to me we wouldn't be having this event at all i find it
01:55all a bit unseemly i'm afraid my wife has it in for miss dodson i do not have it in for miss dodson at
02:03all i just think she sets a bad example for the members especially the women she's always opposed to
02:09something or other such us well we follow the wimbledon dress rules and miss dodson seems to
02:16think that the outfits are quite restrictive she actually wants to raise the skirt and shorten the
02:22sleeve if you can believe that let's go have a look at our challenger she is rallying with our
02:28gentlemen's champion mr nicholas moore right now
02:35game to miss dodson miss dodson leads two games to one first set i guess i'll be making that bet after all
02:53i guess i'll be making that bet after all
03:00oh my eyes off my ankle
03:03can you take a look
03:04oh no no don't touch me please
03:06i have to get the shoe off
03:07don't worry she knows what she's doing she's a professional

04:34thank you margaret
04:35thank you margaret
04:36as i was saying

04:59and you chose not to take this seriously
05:02i just thought it a crank
05:04it's certainly not the first threat i have ever received
05:07the world is filled with men who believe that women should do nothing more than bake cakes and birth babies
05:13plenty of women too
05:17this is outrageous
05:20just give me my money so i can get out of this godforsaken town
05:24i will not

05:27this man is wishing on a deal i was promised

07:14you cannot be serious
07:15i am indeed
07:16miss delonge is an excellent player
07:18but even if she loses the match
07:20the club will still get a portion of the gate money
07:23it'll be sufficient to tide us over
07:25she is not a good representation of our club
07:28she looks a good representation to me
07:31i am afraid that my wife does not approve of her attire
07:35short skirt
07:36short sleeves
07:37a sash instead of a hat
07:38you can't be serious
07:39all of that may be true
07:40but we need this match to go on
07:42what do you say tom?
07:43oh
07:44i would be more than happy to watch it play

07:55and you're sure you don't know this lad percy mcconnell?
08:02there are a lot of boys who attend the same school as i do
08:06he said he'd gotten tangled up in this gambling ring
08:10and when he couldn't pay his debts he was beaten
08:13it's quite a story
08:15well i believe it to be true
08:17it's a big school i don't know all that goes on
08:19then you're sure you've heard nothing about this gambling ring?
08:22no but i do know about this
08:25this is my latest report card

08:39i haven't been wasting my time no matter what you might think
08:42no i i don't believe that
08:44you got an a plus in general mathematics?
08:49i'd say i inherited that from my father
08:51well this is cause for a little celebration
08:57are you hungry?
08:58always
08:59i know a place where we can get delicious hot pies
09:03pizza pies i believe they call them
09:06what?
09:08where's murdoch?
09:09is he in his office?
09:10he said he'll be in later today
09:12apparently he ate something last night that disagreed with him
09:15oh well in that case when you finish stuffing your face you're with me
09:28ah here we are
09:30the corridors of power
09:33where the elite play games while the honest workers toil

10:20lucky day for me it appears

10:54oh
11:00what
11:01oh
11:03we
11:04You'll never beat me with power alone, Ms. Delange.
11:08Get me on the run.
11:11That's it. Very good.
11:13She has some talent.
11:17And you are?
11:20No, Renard.
11:22U.S. Denis.
11:24I'm sorry.
11:25I'm sorry.
11:26I'm sorry.
11:27I'm sorry.
11:28I'm sorry.
11:29I'm sorry.
11:30I'm sorry.
11:31I'm sorry.
11:32No, Renard.
11:33U.S. tennis champion, 1903-1906.
11:36Surely you remember.
11:38I do not.
11:40Aha!
11:41Oh!
11:42Mr. What?
11:43They're burning up.
11:45Has this happened before?
11:47Nope.
11:49Got some talent, but no grit.
11:53Stay right here.
11:54I'll go get this part.
12:02It appears that you've received second-degree burns.
12:05Have you come into contact with anything unusual?
12:07No.
12:08Just my racket.
12:10I mean, I was rallying with Mr. Moore, and my hands just started getting hotter and hotter until it was unbearable.
12:17I'll need to take that.
12:19Detective, can you bundle it up?
12:21Of course.
12:22But I'm supposed to play.
12:23Oh, he won't be playing tennis any time soon.
12:25What's going on?
12:27It appears someone tempered with her racket.
12:30I'll see if I can identify what caused the burns.
12:32Was anyone around when it happened?
12:34Just the man she was practicing with, and the man she was supposed to be playing against.
12:39Noah Renard?
12:40Yes, along with his entourage.
12:42How convenient.
12:43We'll check on you in a little while.
12:45Can the detective stay?
12:47Well, Miss Delange won't be playing tennis any time soon, I'm afraid.
12:59Thank heavens for small mercies.
13:01Why do you say that?
13:02She is simply not the right representation for our club.
13:06Well, we need someone, or we're not gonna have a club.
13:09Is that serious?
13:10Yes.
13:11If Mr. Renard walks away with the entire gate, we are gonna lose this place.
13:15And there's a shark circling the waters.
13:18Who?
13:19That's Oscar Lubbock.
13:21He's part owner of this place, but he wants to own it outright.
13:24And there is no will on the part of my wife or myself to sell our share.
13:28However, there are some debts we have incurred.
13:32So you think he's counting on this battle of the sex as being a total failure?
13:36This is valuable land.
13:37He wants to tear this place down.
13:39He could build ten homes on the land.
13:42Ten homes?
13:43What's that word?
13:46I knew my bones no good would come of this.
13:49Women can't take the pressure the way we men can.
13:52They crumble.
13:53Doesn't help when they've been sabotaged.
13:55What are you talking about?
13:56The police seem to believe that somebody was deliberately targeting the women.
14:00Why on earth would anybody do that?
14:02To ensure Mr. Renard victory.
14:05My victory was already certain by my mere presence.
14:10Well, you best find another champion, Mr. Pearson.
14:15Or forfeit the gate.
14:17And you buy the club.
14:20You should have Murdoch do this.
14:29No need.
14:30I'm more than capable.
14:32So what do you know?
14:33Strings have been damaged by a heavy soaking of potassium hydroxide, which dissolved the sheep gut.
14:39It's also all over the handle.
14:42So when Blanche held the racket, it burned her fingers.
14:45Highly acidic.
14:46Is this lie we're talking about?
14:48Correct.
14:49Very common, easily attainable cleaning product.
14:52An accident?
14:53Hardly.
14:54No one would be cleaning their racket with a lie solution.
14:58Right, Watts.
14:59Come on.
15:00Let's get a move on.
15:01Good day, Miss Arthur.
15:02I'd like to see if I can track down the origin of the stationery that was used for the letters.
15:08That's a good idea.
15:09It shouldn't be too difficult.
15:10There can't be that many shops that sell it.
15:13Given what's happened, do you think the match should be cancelled?
15:16Maybe.
15:17But Margaret would be heartbroken.
15:18She's convinced the lady's side will be victorious.
15:24Miss Hart, you wanted to see me?
15:27I did.
15:29A new hobby.
15:31I heard you rehired Jack Pritchett.
15:34I did.
15:35Fire him.
15:37He's done us time.
15:39He burned down a man's shop.
15:40But a man who did not pay for our services.
15:43Then we withhold them.
15:45That's it.
15:46We do not attack members of our community.
15:50Of course.
15:54No notes on the Glover case.
16:10They did help to secure his conviction.
16:12Very good.
16:13Oh, I don't need a tip.
16:15I beg your pardon?
16:18I was...
16:19Oh.
16:20Is something troubling you?
16:25No.
16:28Yes.
16:29May I?
16:31Of course.
16:36Harry stayed at my home last night.
16:39Oh.
16:40That must have been nice.
16:41Yes.
16:42Yes.
16:43But when he left in the morning, I found this.
16:50Good lord.
16:52That's close to five dollars.
16:54That's quite a sum.
16:56How did he get it?
16:57I've heard reports that there may be some gambling going on at the school.
17:03And Harry's involved?
17:04Well, I don't know.
17:05And I don't want to confront him unless I'm certain, which I am not.
17:11There are stiff penalties associated with gambling.
17:14I'm aware of that.
17:15Leave it to me.
17:17I'll make sure he's aware of it as well.
17:21Can you delay the tournament?
17:23No.
17:24If you can get someone to play the match, will you be able to save the club?
17:28I'm not much for specific numbers, Pippa.
17:31Well, I've been reviewing them all, actually.
17:34And if we take 40% of the gate, we can help stave off Mr. Lubbock and keep him from buying the club outright.
17:40Can I see those figures?
17:43Well, since there are currently no bodies to guard, I'll make my way back to the station house.
17:50Considering how much Margaret loves this club, I'd hate to see it go under.
17:54Then what about your wife?
17:55Margaret?
17:56Margaret?
17:57No, no, no, no, no.
17:59I wouldn't want to see her embarrass herself.
18:02Who's the next best female player around here?
18:06Her.
18:08Coroner.
18:10Oh.
18:11I...
18:12I don't think so.
18:13I'm sure Miss Hart is a very honorable person, but she just is not the right...
18:17What are you trying to say?
18:18I...
18:19Pippa, Pippa.
18:20She might be our only hope.
18:24I have a question.
18:25Of course.
18:26How did you become a lady lawyer?
18:28Shouldn't you be at home raising children?
18:31If I was, they would be better behaved than you.
18:35As I was saying, there are stiff penalties involved with illegal gambling.
18:40What does that have to do with us?
18:42Well, I've heard reports that a young man at this very school was assaulted for not having paid his gambling debts.
18:48And I'm here to tell you that if this persists, I will be getting the constabulary to investigate.
18:53And you will get to see this lady lawyer in action.
18:55Can't wait.
18:56Good day.
18:57So...
18:58Which one of us has a father in the constabulary?
19:02Me?
19:03I can't be...
19:04It's not like you to shirk a challenge, Miss Hart.
19:17Excuse me.
19:18Sorry for speaking.
19:20But you can do it, Miss Hart.
19:23See?
19:24You don't have to win.
19:26Just try your best.
19:28Is this the next lamb for the slaughter?
19:31I expected better of this club.
19:33Looks like you'll be getting your wish, Mr. Lubbock.
19:36Do you still plan on expanding?
19:38And plan on tearing it down.
19:41All right.
19:43I'll do it.
19:44Let it go.
20:05You've been suspended.
20:08I didn't do anything.
20:11You call this nothing?
20:13None of those are mine.
20:15These were found in your locker.
20:19I didn't send you to that school so that you could waste time playing cards and gambling.
20:25Someone put them there.
20:29You told me you had nothing to do with this gambling ring.
20:32I don't.
20:33I found this in your belongings.
20:36You were looking through my stuff?
20:38It fell out of your clothing while I was putting it away.
20:42Did someone plant this as well?
20:45I did place a bet.
20:47It won.
20:48It was just a lark.
20:49A one-time thing.
20:50Well, this one-time thing has landed you with your father for one week.
20:55Where we will be improving on your studies.
20:58Oh, she's quite good.
21:02Well, perhaps she'll get that blowhard Renard a good showing.
21:05Oh, speak of the devil.
21:08So, you think third time's the charm?
21:09Excellent shot, Miss Hart.
21:10Mind if I see what she's got?
21:11Not at all.
21:12You mind?
21:13I'm ready.
21:14Give me your best shot.
21:15I'm ready.
21:16Give me your best shot.
21:18I'm ready.
21:34I'm ready.
21:41Give me your best shot.
21:47I've never seen a surf like that.
21:50Overhanded, it's his signature move.
21:52May, I want to work on her service returns.
21:55Excuse me.
21:57It's fine.
21:59It's all right.
21:59It's all right.
22:00It's fine.
22:00Would you accompany me to the station house?
22:03What?
22:04Okay, so when it comes, whack us.
22:06I'm afraid it's not a request.
22:08What is the meaning of this?
22:11Jeff!
22:12No apologies, but your wife is under arrest.
22:14I don't know.
22:16Arrest?
22:17That is impossible.
22:19My wife has done nothing wrong.
22:22As you can see, Mrs. Pearson,
22:25the stationery on which these letters were written
22:27is quite exclusive.
22:29Made in England by J.Y. Sanders,
22:31it is sold here by a shop on King Street.
22:34Layton's.
22:34Do you know it?
22:35Possibly.
22:37But I know a lot of shops on King Street.
22:40Well, you have an account with Layton's,
22:42and the proprietor distinctly remembers
22:45selling you a box of J.Y. Sanders notepaper.
22:49That is not a crime, Shirley.
22:50What is the nature of this arrest?
22:53Uttering threats is one count.
22:55The other is common assault.
22:57I did not lay a hand on those women.
23:00But you did write these letters?
23:02I did.
23:02Why?
23:03They were breaking the rules.
23:05They were dressing inappropriately.
23:07Had they participated in that match,
23:10the eyes of the world would have been upon us and them.
23:13We have been in operation for 30 years,
23:16and we have a certain standard to maintain.
23:18In this letter addressed to Miss Dodson,
23:25you said you will regret it if you play this match.
23:28Same thing in this letter to Miss Delange,
23:30if you play in this match, you will regret it.
23:32What did you mean?
23:33I simply didn't want them to be able
23:34to renew their memberships.
23:36Is that it?
23:37Upon my honor,
23:40I did not touch either of those women.
23:4430 love, may I go?
23:50So, what are you going to teach me today?
23:53Peace work?
23:56Hardly.
23:57I got these from your headmaster,
23:58and I've taken the liberty of putting together this test.
24:02I won't have you falling behind on your studies.
24:07Well, thank you for your leniency, Thomas.
24:15I assure you, my wife will be in no trouble in the future.
24:17Think nothing of it, Jeptha.
24:19All right, get ready, Miss Hart.
24:22Serves up.
24:26I told you, he favors the left.
24:28I know, but he's too strong.
24:30To the left.
24:33To the left, to the left!
24:35Take a five-minute break.
24:37Get a chair, get a chair.
24:43You can do it.
24:44Thanks, Lily, but I don't think so.
24:46As long as you play, you saved the club.
24:50I don't like losing.
24:52Sometimes the joy is found simply in the playing.
24:54Do you play?
24:56I do.
24:58But my opponent is only the back wall of the club.
25:02I'm guessing she doesn't have much of a chance.
25:04I'm afraid not.
25:05She's a decent enough player when she gets going.
25:08But when Mr. Renard played professionally, he was known as Noah Ace.
25:14He won almost all his matches on service alone.
25:18That Miss Hart can't handle the serve.
25:24But if she could, I'm the germ of an idea.
25:29Good.
25:34So we're finished for the day?
25:38Not quite.
25:38You'll be writing a 500-word essay on the trials and tribulations of Sir Guillaume, the Knight of Temperance.
25:47I don't know why we have to study all this old-timey stuff.
25:50What does it have to do with the present day?
25:52It will help you to pass English class in the present day.
25:56I'd rather just stick to the sciences.
25:58They make sense.
25:59Well, I can't say I disagree.
26:01Hope, I'm not interrupting.
26:03Not at all.
26:03We're just about to take a break.
26:05Wonderful.
26:05Actually, what?
26:06Violet Hart has entered the Battle of the Sexes.
26:09The Battle of...
26:10Yeah, it's a tennis competition.
26:13Oh, I see.
26:14Miss Hart is good, but she's struggling to return faster serves.
26:18And Mr. Moore, her practice partner, is nothing compared to the man she'll face in the match.
26:23She needs to work on her timing.
26:24Timing.
26:26If she can anticipate the speed at which the ball will travel to her, then she can return any serve.
26:36How does she do that?
26:37Practice.
26:38Well, she's worn out Mr. Moore.
26:41Is there another way?
26:44You say you prefer the sciences?
26:46I do.
26:48Come with me.
26:56All right.
26:57Add another one here.
27:02Good.
27:03What are we doing anyway?
27:05Giving Miss Hart a practice partner that won't tire out.
27:09That should do it.
27:18That was your brilliant idea?
27:22It's all rigged up.
27:44All right.
27:45Get ready to send one my direction.
27:47We may need to reduce the tension a bit.
28:03The red knob on the side.
28:05All right.
28:06Maybe 10% more.
28:16Fire.
28:20Again.
28:24All right.
28:25That should work.
28:27Let's set this up for Miss Hart.
28:29Do I get a try?
28:30Not until you've written your essay.
28:37Are you ready, Miss Hart?
28:38Yes.
28:39Try another.
28:48You're swinging too late.
28:51Try to track the ball.
28:53Very good.
28:58Oh.
29:00Better?
29:05Excellent work, Miss Hart.
29:07Oh, thank you, Detective.
29:09I have every confidence you will win.
29:12I hope so.
29:13Let's go.
29:14Good night.
29:16Oh, that machine was incredible.
29:19You were amazing today.
29:21Thank you, Margaret.
29:23But I still don't think I can win.
29:24Well, a respectable showing is good enough,
29:27both for the club and for womankind.
29:29Well, I'm not sure I feel comfortable representing womankind.
29:32Then represent yourself.
29:34You stay in the match.
29:35You save the club.
29:36I'll see you in the morning.
29:40Margaret, look out!
29:41Oh!
29:42Oh!
29:42Oh!
29:43Oh!
29:44Violet!
29:45Violet!
29:46Are you all right?
29:47No.
29:48I can't move my heart.
29:54Well, I won't be playing.
29:55My shoulder is dislocated.
29:57And you didn't see who was driving?
30:00Headlights were in my eyes.
30:01It all happened so fast.
30:04Is it possible that this was just an accident?
30:08Sheer, careless driving?
30:10Not a chance, Detective.
30:12All right.
30:13Well, do you recall anything about the automobile itself?
30:16Oh, it was black.
30:18Anything else?
30:19I believe it hit something as it drove by.
30:21That's right.
30:22Oh, thank you.
30:23Stop dragging your feet.
30:24I'm not.
30:25Aye, aye.
30:25What are we up here?
30:26Good day, constable.
30:29I demand you place this young man under arrest.
30:36I also retrieve these.
30:39Right.
30:39Why not simply send a constable?
30:42I wanted to show him what a lady lawyer could do.
30:44Can I go home?
30:56That will be up to Crown Attorney Newsome to decide.
31:00You are facing serious charges.
31:02My uncle will pay the fines.
31:04That doesn't matter.
31:05You may still be looking at jail time.
31:08Jail?
31:08It's just a bit of fun.
31:09Gambling is an illegal activity.
31:11What's this?
31:14It's a bet.
31:17I'm aware of that.
31:19What student can afford to bet $20 on the outcome of a tennis game?
31:24$20 that the match will be forfeit.
31:27No lady will make it through.
31:29They'll quit before it's even over.
31:31What makes you say that?
31:32My uncle believed it.
31:34And he's the one who made that bet.
31:36Who's your uncle?
31:37Oscar Lobbock.
31:38And he's the one who convinced me to do this.
31:41Well, we will be having a word with him.
31:47You will be writing out a detailed statement of all the people involved in this little gambling ring.
31:56Understood?
31:57You can write, can't you?
32:00I have one more question.
32:03Did you put cards and betting slips in my son's locker?
32:08I did.
32:09Why?
32:09I thought he was the one who spilled the beans about the gambling in the first place.
32:13I wanted to shut him up.
32:15Shut him up?
32:16Yeah.
32:17He's always bragging about how great you are.
32:19My father did this.
32:20My father did that.
32:22I'm sick of it.
32:28Excuse me.
32:30Five hundred words on the tribulations of Sir Guyan.
32:37Harry.
32:38I'm so sorry.
32:40It's all right.
32:41The first wasn't that bad, actually.
32:42No.
32:43I mean, I'm sorry for not believing you.
32:46Eamon Mosley just confessed to putting cards and betting slips in your locker.
32:51You'll be back at school tomorrow.
32:52And what happens to Eamon?
32:56I suspect he'll be expelled.
32:58Again, I'm sorry.
33:02It's all right.
33:03Your copper makes you a suspicious sort.
33:06Thomas, I am speaking for woman con...
33:13Mara, shh.
33:14She's actually quite good.
33:29Surprisingly.
33:30Uh-huh.
33:32Ah!
33:33What did I tell you?
33:37The weaker sex has no place in the sporting world.
33:39Especially when someone is trying to attack them.
33:45Attack?
33:47This is nothing more than a series of accidents.
33:50Look at him.
33:51Wandering around like he already owns the place.
33:54Why not?
33:54He likely soon will.
33:56Begging your pardon, Chief Constable Brackenreide.
33:58Yes?
33:59There's a telephone call for you.
34:00Oh, thank you.
34:01Excuse me, ladies.
34:05Surely there must be someone willing to take that blowhard on.
34:08I don't think so.
34:10Given the circumstances, I can't think of a single woman prepared to take on Mr. Renault.
34:14And a good thing, too.
34:15I have found this entire event to be rather disappointing.
34:19Thank you, Murdoch.
34:21That's interesting.
34:23It will not be long now.
34:25Mr. Lubbock, I believe you have some questions to answer, sir.
34:29Please, follow me.
34:32Ladies?
34:34Not long at all.
34:41This is outrageous.
34:44I don't even own an automobile.
34:46And if I did, I wouldn't be running women over with it.
34:50You placed a sizable bet on the outcome of the game.
34:55It would be in your interest for the match not to proceed.
34:58And since Mr. Renard has no opponent, it seems my interests have been served.
35:05You injured those women, didn't you?
35:07I did not.
35:08I was umpiring the match when Miss Dodson was hurt.
35:11You could have tampered with her equipment beforehand.
35:14Same with Mr. Lange.
35:15I could not.
35:16Now charge me or release me.
35:18I have a tennis club to take possession of.
35:20Get out.
35:24Go on.
35:27The club will be closed by day's end.
35:34I hope you enjoyed your brief time in high society.
35:37Don't say a word.
35:46This is a clear violation in the terms of our agreement.
35:49It is not.
35:51I am to clear members of this club.
35:53He does have a point.
35:55And now Miss Hanley is a member of the club.
35:57The charter clearly states that a new admission can be nominated by four members of good standing.
36:02One, two, three, four.
36:08And so now she is your opponent.
36:11Well, I'll need some time to limper up.
36:13Are you sure you don't mean sober up?
36:15They amount to the same thing, madam.
36:17Mr. Lubbock, Pippa Pearson, and young Eamon Mosley.
36:25None of them had the opportunity to injure all three women.
36:28But they would all benefit if the match were to be called off.
36:31But none more so than Mr. Renard himself.
36:35He's such an arrogant git.
36:36I doubt he would find it necessary to injure an opponent.
36:39The match is on.
36:41What?
36:41No, Renard's latest opponent is Miss Lily Handley.
36:45I saw her practicing earlier.
36:46She's quite something.
36:48Is that right?
36:51Well, she would have had access to the ladies' locker room.
36:54She could have damaged Miss Dodson's shoe and Miss Delange's racket.
37:03I may have bitten off more than I can chew.
37:07She doesn't look like one to four of it.
37:08Miss Lily Handley?
37:19Detective Murdoch, Toronto Constabulary.
37:21We'd like a word.
37:24Is she being arrested?
37:26Why did you do it, Miss Handley?
37:31I'm a better player than all of them.
37:34And yet they treat me like dirt.
37:36Throw their dirty clothes on the floor.
37:38Never a kind word.
37:40So you should injure them?
37:42They don't deserve to represent women athletes.
37:44What about Miss Hart?
37:49I didn't touch Miss Hart.
37:51She was the only kind soul here.
37:54Someone tried to run her over with an automobile.
37:56I wouldn't harm Miss Hart.
37:58Besides, do you think I could really afford an automobile with what they pay me here?
38:01Still, someone you know could have...
38:03No!
38:07I will admit to the things I did wrong.
38:09Don't ask me to confess to the things I did not do.
38:12Chief Constable, you might want to take a look at what your wife is up to.
38:17Oh.
38:26I've had five opponents since arriving here.
38:29Three of them were injured due to their innate frailty.
38:33Another arrested.
38:35And now, I face one due for the retirement home.
38:39Don't listen to Ann-Margaret.
38:41You can do this.
38:42You cannot do this.
38:43And why not?
38:44Because you get beat, that's why.
38:46I don't doubt that, but I can last out the match.
38:49If I do that, I save the club.
38:51You'll be humiliated.
38:53If the club still stands, I don't care.
38:55Now go sit down and let me play.
38:58The battle of the sexes will finally begin.
39:01Service goes to our visitor, Mr. Noah Renard.
39:06Three-time U.S. tennis champion.
39:08Noah Renard.
39:09Well aware of that fact, sir.
39:12As is everyone in attendance.
39:15Do you think what happened to Miss Hart was an accident?
39:19Possibly.
39:20Toronto is being absolutely overrun by reckless drivers.
39:24This will not be pretty.
39:25Not good on her for her standing up for herself.
39:28Come on, Margaret.
39:29You can do this.
39:32Come on, Margaret.
39:33Come on.
39:40At least the pain will be short-lived.
39:44It's very close to my body.
39:54And then...
39:55Oh, it's hard.
39:58I can't bear to watch this.
40:01It comes towards me.
40:03It's all right.
40:04It's all right.
40:08Time.
40:09Time.
40:09Oh, yes.
40:14A word of advice.
40:15Yes.
40:16Concede now?
40:17No.
40:17Oh.
40:18He seems to be serving exclusively to the center of the court.
40:22Yes.
40:22Your right hand.
40:24Get your racket out the moment he begins his backswing
40:28and hold it very firmly.
40:29Uh.
40:30Uh.
40:32Godspeed.
40:33Exactly what I taught you.
40:35Nervous Mr. Renard.
40:36Oh, dear.
40:50Mr. Renard.
40:51I'm not a major.
40:52I don't think I can continue.
40:54It's no use.
40:55I'm out for the count.
40:57I give up.
40:58I cannot continue.
40:59Are you sure?
41:00Of course I am sure.
41:01I'm injured.
41:02Help me.
41:03I hereby declare that this match has been forfeited.
41:07The winner is York Tennis Club's own Margaret Brackenridge.
41:10Oh.
41:15I did it.
41:16I did it.
41:17I did it.
41:18I did it.
41:18I did it.
41:19I did it.
41:20I did it.
41:21I did it.
41:22Congratulations.
41:23I did it.
41:24I did it.
41:25I did it.
41:26I did it.
41:27You've been kind.
41:28You've been kind.
41:29Ha, ha, ha.
41:30Are you all right?
41:45A little tender, but I'll live.
41:47Whose car is that?
41:49Jack Pritchett.
41:50He came, pleading for his job back.
41:53And did he mention how he tried to run me over?
41:56No.
41:58Nothing.
41:58That was the car that hit me.
42:00I know it.
42:01The bumper was damaged.
42:02I don't know what to tell you.
42:04I guess you've made an enemy.
42:08I trust that's the only one that I've made.
42:16I thought you said cards were a waste of time.
42:19They are.
42:20But mathematics isn't.
42:22Well?
42:23I'll take a card.
42:24You have a 10 under there, don't you?
42:25What if I do?
42:26Well, then if you do, your odds of winning are 60% if you hold.
42:27And those odds drop to 50% if you have a 9 under there.
42:31So what will it be?
42:32A hold.
42:33Bust.
42:34Very good.
42:34What are we playing for?
42:3550 cents.
42:3650 cents.
42:3750 cents.
42:37Ah, ah, ah.
42:38If you can correctly tell the odds of winning are 60% if you hold.
42:39And those odds drop to 50% if you have a 9 under there.
42:44So what will it be?
42:45A hold.
42:46A hold.
42:51Bust.
42:52Very good.
42:56What are we playing for?
43:0250 cents.
43:03Ah, ah, ah.
43:04If you can correctly tell me the odds of winning on your next 10 hands, it's all yours.
43:11All right.
43:16Well?
43:2170%.
43:27Very good.
43:29That's one.
43:31I do hope you don't plan on wearing that hat outside.
43:35Nope.
43:46Exactly.
43:49All right.
43:52Very good.
43:53Do you see the years now?
43:57See you soon?
43:58See you soon.
43:59Bye-bye.
44:00Bye-bye.
44:01Bye-bye.
44:04Ka-bye.
44:05Bye.
