Classic Double Entendre Repartee in The Big Sleep

Added on by C. Maoxian.

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 whole card is. What makes them run.

Find out mine?

I think so.

Go ahead.

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.

You don't like to be rated yourself.

I haven't met anyone yet that could do it. Any suggestions?

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

A lot depends on who's in the saddle.
