Thanks hombre

Thanks for the reasoning, everyone.

Mare, dead carp, grouse and beef (6) M-T---.
Fan painted Celtic quibbling (8) ----N-I-.
One dollar hidden in China cow (10) -N-I------.

THANKS IN ADVANCE! NOT MY DAY!!!

Intimate - China = pal + ID (one dollar = intimidate - cow?

Mutter (M + Utter for dead)
Pedantic - anagram of Pained + C(eltic)
Intimidate IN + I D for dollar/China = mate as in China plate rhyming slang. This is a breeze compared to the top half of the Mephisto.

Painted + C = pedantic- quibbling?

Could it be m for mare + Utter as in "dead" giving carp grouse and beef- mutter? Seems thin.......

Apologies, did not see film fan's post.

Mephisto? Mephisto?? Ah now Ted........steady on there........

25a, (10) not as healthy after wound-being without a source of relief ?
