that any behaviour or action
on your part were causing her grief?

:01:05
Naturally, sir. I would, deeply.
:01:08
Good. I was sure of it.
:01:11
Here in Cambridge, we've always
been proud of our athletic prowess.

:01:15
We believe, we've always believed,
that our games are indispensable

:01:19
in helping to complete
the education of an Englishman.

:01:22
They create character.
:01:25
They foster courage, honesty and leadership.
:01:28
But most of all,
an unassailable spirit of loyalty,

:01:32
comradeship and mutual responsibility.
:01:35
- Would you agree?
- Yes, sir. I would.

:01:43
I'm afraid there is a growing suspicion
in the bosom of this university -

:01:47
and I tell you this without in any way
:01:49
decrying your achievements,
in which we all rejoice -

:01:52
that in your enthusiasm for success
:01:56
you have perhaps lost sight
of some of these ideals.

:01:59
May I ask what form
this disloyalty, this betrayal, takes?

:02:04
- Oh, hardly betrayal!
- The word grief was mentioned.

:02:08
It's said that you use a personal coach.
:02:11
Mr Mussabini, yes.
:02:13
- Is he Italian?
- Of Italian extraction, yes.

:02:17
- I see.
- But not all Italian.

:02:20
- I'm relieved to hear it.
- He's half Arab!

:02:27
Do we take it that you employ this
Mr Mussambini on a professional basis?

:02:32
Sam Mussabini is the finest, most advanced,
:02:36
clearest-thinking athletics coach
in the country.

:02:39
I'm honoured to be worthy of his atention.
:02:42
Nevertheless, he's a professional.
:02:44
What else would he be? He's the best.
:02:46
Ah, but there, Mr Abrahams,
I'm afraid our paths diverge.

:02:50
You see, this university believes
that the way of the amateur

:02:54
is the only one to provide
satisfactory results.

:02:58
I am an amateur.
