:09:04
Yeah.
:09:06
Yeah, it does.
:09:13
And strong though the temptation may be
:09:16
to disport your newly acquired finery
around the streets of Paris -

:09:21
if they aren't temptation enough -
:09:24
may I ask you on behalf
of the Olympic Commitee

:09:27
to save your sartorial splendour
:09:30
until at least after the opening ceremony.
:09:32
May I remind you,
:09:34
you are the favoured few.
:09:37
You constitute what is without doubt
:09:39
the most powerful athletic force
ever to leave these shores.

:09:43
You are to face the world's best -
:09:46
brown and yellow, white and black,
:09:48
young and ardent as yourselves,
:09:50
fleet of foot and strong of limb,
:09:53
from every civilised nation
on the face of the earth.

:09:58
I have no doubt
:10:00
that you will acquit yourselves
honourably and... with distinction.

:10:07
Good luck to you all.
:10:25
Your mind's not with us any more.
:10:28
It's full of sprinting and starting
and medals and pace.

:10:31
It's so full of it,
you've no room for standing still!

:10:33
Jennie, Jennie! Don't fret yourself.
:10:36
I do fret myself, Eric. I'm frightened for you.
:10:40
I'm frightened what it all might do to you.
:10:46
- Do you know what day it is?
- Yeah. Sunday.

:10:49
The Sabbath's not a day
for playing football, is it?

:10:55
It's an awful step you're taking, Liddell.
:10:58
The whole of Britain will be watching you.
