A different god.
:05:05
A different mountain top.
:05:20
Harold! Harold! We're in.
:05:22
All of us!
You, Henry, Andy and me, we're all in!

:05:27
You 100 and 200, Andy 400 and hurdles,
:05:29
Henry the mile, and me the steeplechase.
:05:32
Paris, here we come!
:05:35
Eric Liddell's picked too.
:05:37
Rivals under the same flag.
:05:39
Your chance to get even, eh?
:05:41
I can't wait.
:05:43
Welcome to Dover, my Lord Birkenhead.
:05:46
Lord Birkenhead,
are the Yanks so well trained

:05:49
that they'll wipe the floor with our boys?
:05:51
It's certainly true that
the Americans have prepared seriously,

:05:55
some would say too seriously,
to gain success.

:05:57
But we feel we may, in our
unsophisticated way, have their match.

:06:02
Sir, do you think
the British team stand a chance

:06:05
against such great American athletes as
Charlie Paddock and Jackson Scholz?

:06:09
You Americans have a number of men
who are rated as world-beaters,

:06:13
but this contest is in Europe,
not in the rarefied climes of the United States.

:06:18
Parisian conditions are bound
to be more robust,

:06:20
more combative and certainly more cavalier.
:06:23
Lord Birkenhead,
are the Yanks so well trained

:06:26
that they will wipe the floor with our boys?
:06:29
Gentlemen, Abrahams, Liddell and Lindsay...
:06:32
We have the men who could
give them a run for their money.

:06:39
Eric!
:06:42
Sandy! You haven't come all the way
from Scotland just to see me off, have you?

:06:46
I have not. I'm seeing myself off.
:06:48
Come on, or we'll miss the boat.
:06:50
Hey, Mr Liddell! What do you think
of your chances against Abrahams?

:06:54
I'll do my best. Can do no less.
:06:56
Mr Liddell, sir!
:06:58
What about the qualifying heats on Sunday?
