: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.
:04:11
Thank you, sir,
:04:14
for your hospitality.
:04:17
The evening has been most illuminating.
:04:21
Good night to you, sir.
:04:25
You know, gentlemen,
:04:28
you yearn for victory, just as I do.
:04:31
But achieved with
the apparent effortlessness of gods.

:04:35
Yours are the archaic values
of the prep school playground.

:04:40
You deceive no one but yourselves.
:04:43
I believe in the pursuit of excellence...
:04:47
and I'll carry the future with me.
:04:59
Well, there goes your Semite, Hugh.
