Velvet Brown
- Mr. Hallam: So you're to win the gelding, are you Velvet?
- Velvet: Oh, of course I'm to win.
- Mr. Hallam: There are ways of arranging it, aren't there? And your father's a clever man...
- Velvet: Oh, I didn't bother him, Mr. Hallam. I just arranged it with God.
- Velvet Brown: I want it all quickly 'cause I don't want God to stop and think and wonder if I'm getting more than my share.
- Mrs. Brown: Win or lose, it's all the same. It's how you take it that counts, and knowing when to let go; knowing when it's over and time to go on to the next thing.
- Velvet Brown: The next thing?
- Mrs. Brown: Things come suitable to the time, Velvet. Enjoy each thing, then forget it and go on to the next. There's a time for everything. There's a time for having a horse in the Grand National, being in love, having children; yes, even for dying. All in proper order at the proper time.
- Velvet: He's beautiful, Mr. Ede. What's his name?
- Farmer Ede: Name? He's a murderous pirate, not deserving of a name.
- Velvet: Oh no, not pirate. He's a gentle one. I'll just call him Pi.
- Mr. Herbert Brown: [Velvet is pretending she's riding The Pi] Who's this Pi? A new one?
- Velvet Brown: Oh, Father, you should see him, he's beautiful. He never puts a foot wrong.
- Mr. Herbert Brown: Who?
- Velvet Brown: Mr. Ede's new horse. I'm in love with him.
- Mr. Herbert Brown: You're a fickle woman. I've heard you say that about other horses.
- Velvet Brown: Who's been in my box?
- Donald Brown: Me.
- Edwina Brown: [correcting him] "I."
- Donald Brown: You, too?
- [Mi is trying to tell Velvet the "tricks" for the Grand National]
- Velvet Brown: Don't, Mi! No matter what you say or do everyone else out there will know more than me. It's no use, Mi.
- Mi Taylor: Do think a race like this is won by luck?
- Velvet Brown: No, by knowing the Pi can win and telling him so!
