Lauren Bacall - The Big Sleep - Horse Race Conversation lyrics

[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 cla**, but, uh...I don't know how - how far you can go." [Vivian] "A lot depends on who's in the saddle. Go ahead Marlowe, I like the way you work. In case you don't know it, you're doing all right." [Marlowe] "There's one thing I can't figure out." [Vivian] "What makes me run?" [Marlowe] "Uh-huh." [Vivian] "I'll give you a little hint. Sugar won't work. It's been tried."
