: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.
:03:00
You're being trained by a professional.
:03:02
You've adopted a professional atitude.
:03:04
For the past year, you have concentrated
on developing your own technique
:03:09
in the headlong pursuit,
may I suggest, of individual glory.
:03:13
Not a policy very conducive to
the fostering of esprit de corps.
:03:17
I am a Cambridge man first and last.
:03:21
I am an Englishman first and last.
:03:25
What I have achieved, what I intend
to achieve, is for my family,
:03:29
my university and my country.
:03:33
And I biterly resent
your suggesting otherwise.
:03:36
Your aim is to win at all costs, is it not?
:03:39
At all costs, no.
But I do aim to win within the rules.
:03:43
Perhaps you would rather
I played the gentleman and lost?
:03:46
To playing the tradesman, yes.
:03:52
My dear boy, your approach has been,
if I may say so, a litle too plebeian.
:03:57
You are the élite
:03:59
and are therefore expected to behave as such.
