Well, speaking of horses...

Vivian: Well, speaking of horses, I like to play them myself. But I like to see them work out a little first, see if they're front-runners or come from behind, find out what their hole-card is. What makes them run.

Marlowe: Find out mine?

Vivian: I think so.

Marlowe: Go ahead.

Vivian: I'd say you don't like to be rated. You like to get out in front, open up a lead, take a little breather in the backstretch, and then come home free.

Marlowe: You don't like to be rated yourself.

Vivian: I haven't met anyone yet that can do it. Any suggestions?

Marlowe: Well, I can't tell till I've seen you over a distance of ground. You've got a touch of class, but, uh...I don't know how - how far you can go.

Vivian: A lot depends on who's in the saddle.

Spit the bit is a horse racing term

Flying down the stretch is more like it.

Freddie Mac Attack is in second and running well

Mae's Preferred Bluster is on the outside in 3rd place and losing steam.

Short Seller is galloping in circles 20 lengths back and has thrown her jockey, who's writhing in the dirt, hemorrhaging cash, and might be badly injured.

And they're ALL looking up ahead of the pack at the ass end of Fannie's Common Warrior!

Aaaaaaand DOWN the stretch they come!
