William Faulkner, Leigh Brackett and Jules Furthman - The Big Sleep - Horse Race Conversation [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[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. 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."
