:26:01
In your country and your king.
Your loyalty to them.

:26:04
Hear, hear.
In my day, it was king first, God after.

:26:09
And the war to end wars
biterly proved your point.

:26:12
God made countries. God makes kings
:26:15
and the rules by which they govern.
:26:19
And those rules say that the Sabbath is his.
:26:24
And I for one intend to keep it that way.
:26:29
Mr Liddell.
:26:31
You're a child of your race... as I am.
:26:34
We share a common heritage,
a common bond, a common... loyalty.

:26:39
There are times when
we are asked to make sacrifices

:26:42
in the name of that loyalty,
:26:45
and without them our allegiance is worthless.
:26:48
As I see it, for you,
:26:51
this is such a time.
:26:53
Sir...
:26:57
God knows, I love my country.
:27:00
But I can't make that sacrifice.
:27:09
Come in!
:27:12
Your Royal Highness... Lord Lindsay.
:27:19
Your Highness, Cadogan, gentlemen.
:27:22
I do apologise for barging in like this.
:27:25
The fact is
I am fully aware of Eric's dilemma.

:27:28
I wondered if I could be so bold
as to suggest a possible solution.

:27:33
Do.
:27:35
Yes.
:27:37
Another day, another race.
:27:39
What the devil's that supposed to mean?
:27:41
It's quite simple as a mater of fact, sir.
:27:43
The 400 metres. It's on Thursday.
:27:45
I've already got my medal.
:27:47
So why don't you let Eric
take my place in the quarter?

:27:54
I think that's a splendid idea.
:27:56
Can we allow him to change events
at such short notice?
