Dick Francis: Blood Sport (1989 TV Movie)

Ian McShane: David Cleveland

Quotes 

• David Cleveland : [to Geoffrey]  I was planning to be on a plane tonight. I've got better things to do than swan around like a fairy.

• David Cleveland : [to Teller]  Whatever Geoffrey has been telling you, bringing horses back from the dead is not my specialty.

• Eunice Teller : There's only one thing you have to know about horses.

  David Cleveland : What's that?

  Eunice Teller : They make damn fools out of us.

• Walt Prensala : The best things in life are free.

  David Cleveland : It's been said before.

  Walt Prensala : Yeah, by people with no money.

• [Earlier Eunice nearly shot David with his revolver when she accidentally fired it while she was drunk. Now she comes to David's bedroom in the middle of the night] 

  Eunice Teller : I was thinking. Maybe we got off on the wrong foot this afternoon.

  David Cleveland : It wasn't boring.

  Eunice Teller : Harry said to tell you anything you want, I'm to make sure you get it. But under the circumstances I don't think we should take that too literally. Do you?

  David Cleveland : No.

  Eunice Teller : But maybe we could be friends.

  David Cleveland : [non-committally]  Yes.

  Eunice Teller : I've got a sneaking suspicion, Cleveland, that Lynnie likes you. So let me just tell you this. If you don't treat her right, we can't be friends... because then you'll be dead.

  [she leaves]
