Vivian:
Speaking of horses, I like to play them myself. But I like to see them workout a little first, see if they're front runners or comefrom behind, find out what their whole 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 little 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 I don't know how, how far you can go.

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