Dashing boy?

One of my favourite scenes in the whole movie is the scene in which Byrne comes up with "Dashing Boy" as the name of the 'pretend' horse he has running in the plate. I just love watching Byrne and Strang in this scene. Byrne is so funny, as if he doesn't realise how stupid he sounds and Strang's reaction to the name Dashing Boy. I imagine that Strang is thinking- "Seriously, couldn't you think of anything better than Dashing Boy" :)

Anyway, just in case you don't own the film or haven't seen it in a while. Here is my, rather poorly scripted, version.



Anne:
"Do you have a horse running today, Mr Byrne?"
Byrne:
"Yes I have indeed, a fine gelding! Perhaps you would like to see him" (turns to Strang) "Strang! Why don't you show Miss Anne Dashing Boy" (smiling he turns back to Anne) 
Strang:
              
             (turns to Byrne and in somewhat of a quizzical tone) "Dashing Boy" (?)

Byrne:
"Yes, right! Dashing Boy" (nods head and smiles)
Strang:
"Right" (in a slightly sarcastic voice) "Dashing Boy?" (smiles and turns to Anne) "Miss"

Much Love,

Mel
