Dialogue

Abrahams: "If I can't win, I won't race!"

Gordon: "If you won't race, you can't win."

Mussabini: "Eric Liddell? He's no real problem..."

Abrahams: "You could have fooled me (Eric has already beaten Harold once)."

Mussabini: "Yeah he's fast! But he won't go any faster. He's a gut runner, digs deep! But a short sprint is run on nerves. It's tailor-made for neurotics."
