00:05the 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 wage of ladies catch me gambling thomas i heard if miss dodson wins the
00:45club takes in 60 of the gate and if she loses the club gets 40 but if miss dodson forfeits
00:51then
00:51mr renard gets the entire gate so put me down for five on dodson
00:55uh chapter
01:09ladies
01:12i 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
01:42frankly 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
02:02for miss dodson
02:03at all i just think she sets a bad example for the members especially the women she's always opposed
02:09to something 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
02:23sleeve if you can believe that let's go have a look at our challenger she is rallying with our
02:29gentleman's champion mr nicholas moore right now
02:47game to miss dodson miss dodson leads two games to one first set i guess i'll be making that bet
02:54after all
03:04i have to get the shoe off don't worry she knows what she's doing she's a professional
03:12i don't think you'll be playing tennis anytime soon your ankle is broken
03:18what a shame
03:21easiest money we ever made
03:24we need to get her inside yes of course
03:27dear if you'll just
03:48oh yes you play well you'll win the game
03:53i don't understand it i bought these shoes only last week they were expensive
03:57i'm afraid this has been tampered with what on earth do you mean would anyone care for some tea
04:03don't interrupt we are trying to have a conversation no i would like some really
04:12so she has you serving tea now and tending to the equipment room yes ma'am no need to call
04:18me ma'am
04:18violet will do what do you mean tampered with
04:23the soul has been sawn off and lightly blew back
04:27on it was only a matter of time before it broke on you that happening is a strong likelihood that
04:34you would hurt yourself
04:34thank you margaret as i was saying this is not down to some manufacturing defect
04:43i think someone tampered with it i should have known
04:45known what
04:47i found this in my locker yesterday
04:54you will regret it
04:56if you play this match
04:58withdraw now before it is too late
05:01and you chose not to take this seriously
05:03i just thought it a crank
05:05it was certainly not the first threat i have ever received
05:08the world is filled with men who believe that women should do nothing more than bake cakes and birth babies
05:16plenty of women too
05:18this is outrageous
05:21just give me my money so i can get out of this godforsaken town
05:25i will not

05:28this man is welching on a deal i was promised

07:14you cannot be serious
07:16i am indeed
07:17mr launch is an excellent player
07:19but even if she loses the match
07:21the club will still get a
07:22a portion of the gate money
07:23it'll be sufficient to tight us over
07:25she is not a good representation of our club
07:29she looks a good representation to me
07:32i am afraid that my wife does not approve of her attire
07:35short skirt
07:36short sleeves
07:37a sash instead of a hat
07:39you can't be serious
07:40all of that may be true but we need this match to go on
07:43what do you say thomas

10:09i can assure you that
10:10if you feel in any way uneasy about playing

10:15still
10:16detective watts will be at your side at all times
10:18consider him your personal bodyguard
10:21lucky day for me it appears
10:24now if you'll excuse me
10:25i need to get into my talks
10:27it's always fun to create a little scandal
10:33my god what a snake goes along with spunk
10:36alright get your tongue back in your mouth
10:49love you
11:18You'll never beat me with power alone, Mr. Lange.
11:21Get me on the run.
11:24That's it. Very good.
11:26She has some talent.
11:30And you are?
11:32No, Renard.
11:33U.S. Tennis champion, 1903-1906.
11:36Surely you remember.
11:38I do not.
11:40Aha!
11:42My shots! They're burning up.
11:45Has this happened before?
11:47Nope.
11:49She's got some talent, but no grit.
11:53Staying right here, I'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, just my racket.
12:10I mean, I was rallying with Mr. Moore, and my hands just started getting hotter and hotter until it was
12:16unbearable.
12:18Well, I'll need to take that. Detective, can you bundle it up?
12:21But I'm supposed to play.
12:23Oh, he won't be playing tennis any time soon.
12:26What's going on?
12:28Here's someone tempered with her racket.
12:30Well, I'll see if I can identify what caused the burns.
12:33Was 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.
12:44We'll check on you in a little while.
12:46Can the detective stay?
12:55Well, Miss Delange won't be playing tennis any time soon, I'm afraid.
13:00Thank heavens for small mercies.
13:02Why do you say that?
13:03She is simply not the right representation for our club.
13:07Well, we need someone, or we're not going to have a club.
13:10Is that serious?
13:11Yes.
13:11If Mr. Renard walks away with the entire gate, we are going to lose this place.
13:15And there's a shark circling the waters.
13:18Who?
13:20That'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.
13:29However, 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?
13:44Let's have a word.
13:47I 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.
14:11Well, you best find another champion, Mr. Pearson.
14:15Or forfeit the gate.
14:17And you buy the cloak.
14:27You should have Merdot do this.
14:29No need.
14:31I'm more than capable.
14:32So what do you know?
14:34Strings have been damaged by a heavy soaking of potassium hydroxide, which dissolved the sheep gut.
14:40It's also all over the handle.
14:42So when Blanche held the racket, it burned her fingers.
14:44It was highly acidic.
14:46Is this lye we're talking about?
14:49Correct.
14:50Very common, easily attainable cleaning product.
14:52An accident?
14:54Hardly.
14:55No one would be cleaning their racket with a lye solution.
14:58Right, Watts.
14:59Come on.
14:59Let's get a move on.
15:00Good day, Miss Hart.
15:01I'd like to see if I can track down the origin of the stationery that was used for the letters.
15:08It's a good idea.
15:09It shouldn't be too difficult.
15:11There 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.
15:19She's convinced the lady's side will be victorious.
15:24Miss Hart, you won silly.
15:28I did.
15:30A new hobby.
15:32I heard you rehired Jack Pritchett.
15:34I did.
15:36Fire him.
15:37He's done this time.
15:39He burned down a man's shop.
15:41But a man who did not pay for our services.
15:44Then we withhold them.
15:45That's it.
15:47We do not attack members of our community.
15:51Of course.
16:06No notes on the Glover case.
16:10They did help to secure his conviction.
16:12Very good.
16:13Oh, I don't need a tip.
16:16I beg your pardon?
16:17I was...
16:19Oh.
16:23Is something troubling you?
16:25No.
16:27Yes.
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.
16:51Good lord.
16:53That'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.
17:06And I don't want to confront him unless I'm certain, which I am not.
17:12There are stiff penalties associated with gambling.
17:14I'm aware of that.
17:17Leave it to me.
17:19I'll make sure he's aware of it as well.
17:23Can you delay the tournament?
17:24No.
17:26If you can get someone to play the match, will you be able to save the club?
17:29I'm not much for specific numbers.
17:31Pepper?
17:31Well, I've been reviewing them all, actually.
17:35And if we take 40% of the gate, we can help stave off Mr. Lubbock and keep him from
17:39buying 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.
17:51Considering how much Margaret loves this club, I'd hate to see go under.
17:55Then what about your wife?
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.
18:11Oh, I don't think so.
18:13I'm sure Miss Hart is a very honorable person, but she just is not the right...
18:18What are you trying to say?
18:18Peppa, Peppa.
18:20She might be our only hoe.
18:24I have a question.
18:26Of course.
18:27How did you become a lady lawyer?
18:29Shouldn't you be at home raising children?
18:32If I was, they would be better behaved than you.
18:36As I was saying, there are stiff penalties involved with illegal gambling.
18:41What 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
18:48debts.
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.
18:56Can't wait.
18:58Good day.
19:04So, which one of us has a father in the constabulary?
19:12Me?
19:13I can't be...
19:15It's not like you to shirk a challenge, Miss Hart.
19:18Excuse me.
19:20Sorry for speaking.
19:22But you can do it, Miss Hart.
19:24See?
19:25You 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.
19:34Looks like you'll be getting your wish, Mr. Lubbock.
19:36Do you still plan on expanding?
19:39I plan on tearing it down.
19:42All right.
19:43I'll do it.
19:45Let it go.
20:04You've been suspended.
20:08I didn't do anything.
20:11You call this nothing?
20:14None of those are mine.
20:16These were found in your locker.
20:20I 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.
20:33I don't.
20:34I found this in your belongings.
20:37You were looking through my stuff?
20:38It fell out of your clothing while I was putting it away.
20:43Did someone plant this as well?
20:46I did place a bet.
20:47It won.
20:48It was just a lark.
20:50A one-time thing.
20:51Well, this one-time thing has landed you with your father for one week.
20:55Where we will be improving on your studies.
21:13Oh, she's quite good.
21:15Well, perhaps she'll get that blowhard Renard a good showing.
21:19Oh, speak of the devil.
21:23So, you think third time's the charm?
21:26Excellent shot, Miss Hart.
21:27Mind if I see what she's got?
21:29Not at all.
21:31You mind?
21:40You ready?
21:41Give me your best shot.
21:47I've never seen a serve like that.
21:50Overhanded, it's his signature move.
21:52You may want to work on her service returns.
21:55Excuse me.
21:57It's fine.
21:58It's all right.
21:59It's all right.
22:00It's fine.
22:00Would you accompany me to the station house?
22:02What?
22:04Okay.
22:04So, when it comes...
22:06What?
22:06I'm afraid it's not a request.
22:08Madam?
22:09What is the meaning of this?
22:11Jeptha!
22:12No apologies, but your wife is under arrest.
22:14I am fine.
22:15Never.
22:16Arrest?
22:17Yes.
22:17That is impossible.
22:19My wife has done nothing wrong.
22:22As you can see, Mrs. Pearson, the stationery on which these letters were written is quite
22:28exclusive.
22:29Made in England by J.Y. Sanders.
22:31It is sold here by a shop on King Street, Layton'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, and the proprietor distinctly remembers selling
22:45you a box of J.Y. Sanders notepaper.
22:48That 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.
23:06Had they participated in that match, the eyes of the world would have been upon us and
23:12them.
23:13We have been in operation for 30 years, and we have a certain standard to maintain.
23:22In this letter addressed to Ms. Dodson, you said you will regret it if you play this
23:27match.
23:27Same thing in this letter to Ms. 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 to renew their memberships.
23:36Is that it?
23:38Upon my honor, I did not touch either of those women.
23:4430 love, may I go?
23:50So, what are you going to teach me today?
23:53Least work?
23:55Hardly.
23:56I got these from your headmaster, and I've taken the liberty of putting together this test.
24:02I won't have you falling behind on your studies.
24:13Well, 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, Ms. Hart.
24:22Serve's 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!
24:34To the left!
24:35To the left!
24:35To the left!
24:36Take 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.
24:45As 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.
25:00Oh.
25:01I'm guessing she doesn't have much of a chance.
25:04I'm afraid not.
25:06She's a decent enough player when she gets going.
25:08But when Mr. Renard played professionally,
25:12he was known as Noah Ace.
25:14He won almost all his matches on service alone.
25:18If Ms. Hart can't handle the serve, then...
25:23But if she could...
25:26I'm the germ of an idea.
25:33Good.
25:36So we're finished for the day?
25:37Not quite.
25:39You'll be writing a 500-word essay
25:42on the trials and tribulations of Sir Giel,
25:45the Knight of Temperance.
25:47I don't know why we have to study
25:49all this old-timey stuff.
25:50What does it have to do with the present day?
25:52It will help you to pass English class
25:54in 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.
26:02Not at all.
26:03We're just about to take a break.
26:05Wonderful.
26:05Actually, watch.
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.
26:14Ms. Hart is good,
26:15but she's struggling to return faster serves,
26:18and Mr. Moore, her practice partner,
26:20is nothing compared to the man she'll face in the match.
26:22She needs to work on her timing.
26:24Timing?
26:26If she can anticipate the speed
26:28at which the ball will travel to her,
26:30then 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?
26:45I do.
26:48Come with me.
26:56All right.
26:57Add another one here.
27:02Good.
27:03What are we doing anyway?
27:05Giving Ms. Hart a practice partner
27:07that won't tire out.
27:09That should do it.
27:20That was your brilliant idea?
27:41I'm here.
27:43It's all rigged up.
27:45All right.
27:45Get ready to send one my direction.
27:51Um, excuse us
27:53Uh, we may need to reduce the tension a bit
28:02The red knob on the side
28:05All right
28:12Maybe 10% more
28:20Fire
28:24All right, that should work
28:27Let's set this up for Ms. Hart
28:28Do I get a try?
28:30Not until you've written your essay
28:37Are you ready, Ms. Hart?
28:41Yes
28:45Try another
28:47You're swinging too late
28:51Try to track the ball
28:55Very good
28:58Oh
29:00Better
29:05Excellent work, Ms. Hart
29:07Oh, thank you, Detente
29:09I have every confidence you will win
29:12I hope so
29:13Shh
29:13Let's go
29:14Good night
29:16Uh
29:16Oh, that machine was incredible
29:18You were amazing today
29:21Well, thank you, Margaret
29:22But I still don't think I can win
29:24Well, a respectable showing is good enough
29:26Both for the club and for womankind
29:29Well, I'm not sure I feel comfortable representing womankind
29:32Then represent yourself
29:33You stay in the match
29:34You save the club
29:36I'll see you in the morning
29:37I'll see you in the morning
29:40Violet, look out!
29:44Violet!
29:46Are you all right?
29:47No, I can't move my heart
29:53Well, I won't be playing
29:55My shoulder's dislocated
29:56And you didn't see who was driving?
29:59Headlights 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
30:12Right
30:12Well, do you recall anything about the automobile itself?
30:16Uh, it was black
30:18Anything else?
30:19I believe it hit something as it drove by
30:21That's right!
30:23Stop dragging your feet
30:24I'm not
30:25Aye, aye, what do we have here?
30:28Good day, Constable
30:31I demand you place this young man under arrest
30:36I also retrieve these
30:39Right, why not simply send a constable?
30:42I wanted to show him what a lady lawyer could do
30:53Can 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
31:03That doesn't matter
31:05You may still be looking at jail time
31:08Jail? It's just a bit of fun
31:09Gambling is an illegal activity
31:13What's this?
31:15It's a bet
31:17I'm aware of that
31:18I'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
31:26No lady will make it through
31:28They'll quit before it's even over
31:31What makes you say that?
31:32My uncle believed it
31:33My uncle believed it
31:33And 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
31:46You 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?
32:01I have one more question
32:03Did you put cards and betting slips in my son's locker?
32:07I did
32:08Why?
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
32:14Shut him up?
32:16Yeah
32:16He's always bragging about how great you are
32:18My father did this, my father did that
32:21I'm just sick of it
32:28Excuse me
32:33500 words on the tribulations of Sir Guyan
32:37Harry, I'm so sorry
32:40It's alright, the verse wasn't that bad actually
32:42No, I 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
32:54And what happens to Eamon?
32:55I suspect he'll be expelled
32:58Again, I'm sorry
33:01Eh, it's alright
33:03Your copper makes you a suspicious sort
33:11Thomas, I am speaking for woman co-
33:14Bobbage!
33:26She's actually quite good
33:29Surprisingly
33:35What did I tell you?
33:37The weaker sex has no place in the sporting world
33:40Especially when someone is trying to attack them
33:45Attack?
33:47This is nothing more than a series of accidents
33:50Look at him, wandering around like he already owns the place
33:53Why not?
33:54He likely soon will
33:56Begging your pardon, Chief Constable Brackenreed
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
34:09Given the circumstances, I can't think of a single woman prepared to take on Mr. Renaud
34:13And a good thing, too
34:15I have found this entire event to be rather disappointing
34:19Thank you, Murdoch
34:20That's interesting
34:23It will not be long now
34:25Mr. Lubbock
34:26I believe you have some questions to answer, sir
34:30Please, 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
34:59And since Mr. Renaud has no opponent
35:02It 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
35:13Same with Mr. Lange
35:15I could not
35:16Now charge me or release me
35:18I have a tennis club to take possession of
35:22Get out
35:23Go on
35:27The club will be closed by day's end
35:34I hope you enjoyed your brief time in high society
35:41Don't say a word
35:46This is a clear violation of the terms of our agreement
35:49It is not
35:50I am to play a member of this club
35:53He does have a point
35:54And now Miss Hanley is a member of the club
35:56The charter clearly states that a new admission can be nominated by four members of good standing
36:02One, two, three, four
36:05Four
36:07And so now she is your opponent
36:11Well, I'll need some time to limber up
36:13Are you sure you don't mean sober up?
36:15They amount to the same thing madam
36:20Mr. Lubbock
36:21Pippa Pearson
36:22And young Imon 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
36:40What?
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?
36:50Well, she would have had access to the ladies' locker room
36:53She could have damaged Miss Dodson's shoe and Miss Delange's racket
37:03I may have bitten off more than I can chew
37:06She doesn't look like one to four of him
37:16Miss Lily Handley?
37:18Detective Murdoch, Toronto Constabulary
37:20We'd like a word
37:24Is she being arrested?
37:28Why did you do it, Miss Handley?
37:31I'm a better player than all of them
37:33And yet they treat me like dirt
37:36Throw their dirty clothes on the floor
37:38Never a kind word
37:39So you should injure them?
37:41They don't deserve to represent women athletes
37:46What 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!
38:06I 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
38:34And now, I face one due for the retirement home
38:39Don't listen to Anne Margaret
38:40You can do this
38:42You cannot do this
38:43Then 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
38:50You'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 is an accident?
39:18Possibly
39:19Toronto is being absolutely overrun by reckless drivers
39:23This will not be pretty
39:25Not quite good on her for standing up for herself
39:28Come on Margaret, you can do this
39:31Look
39:32Come on Margaret, come on
39:34Thank you
39:42At least the pain will be short-lived
39:54I can't bear to watch this
40:00It comes towards me
40:03It's alright, it's alright
40:08Time, time
40:10What?
40:12Oh, yes
40:13A word of advice
40:16Concede now?
40:17No, he seems to be serving exclusively to the center of the court
40:22Your right hand
40:24Get your racket out the moment he begins his backswing
40:28And hold it very firmly
40:31Godspeed
40:32Thank you
40:33Exactly what I taught you
40:34Service
40:35Right
40:35Mr. Renard
40:49Oh dear, Mr. Renard
40:51I don't think I can continue
40:54It's no use
40:55I'm out for the count
40:56I give up, I cannot continue
40:58Are you sure?
40:59Of course I am sure I'm injured
41:02Help me
41:03I declare that this match has been forfeited
41:06The winner is
41:07York Tennis Club's own
41:09Margaret Brackenry
41:11Oh!
41:16That's what I did!
41:20I did it!
41:22I did it!
41:25I did it!
41:26I did it!
41:26You've been kind!
41:43You've been kind!
41:44Ah-ha-ha-ha!
41:44Are 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, I know it
42:00The 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
42:15I thought you said cards were a waste of time
42:19They are
42:20But mathematics isn't
42:27Well?
42:28I'll take a card
42:30You have a 10 under there, don't you?
42:33What if I do?
42:34Well then if you do, your 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?
42:46A hold
42:51Bust
42:52Very good
42:55What are we playing for?
43:0250 cents
43:04If you can correctly tell me the odds of winning on your next 10 hands, it's all yours
43:11Alright
43:20Well?
43:2370%
43:27Very good
43:30That's one
43:31I do hope you don't plan on wearing that hat outside
43:35Nope
43:45I do hope you like the most part in your next 10-90s
44:10I'll see you guys next time
44:10We'll see you next time
