Chariots of Fire1981

Harold M. Abrahams:
[About Eric Liddel] I've never seen such drive, such devotion in a runner. He runs like a wild animal. He unnerves me.

Sam Mussabini:
As well he should. He frightens the living daylights out of me. [chuckles]

Harold M. Abrahams:
Yes, well, I want you to help me take him on.

Sam Mussabini:
[thinks a moment] Tell me, Mr. Abrahams, are you married?

Harold M. Abrahams:
No. Why?

Sam Mussabini:
Well, when the right woman comes along, how would you feel if she pops the question? [quiet laugh] Ya'see, Mr. Abrahams, like the bridegroom, it's the coach should do the asking.

Harold M. Abrahams:
[very serious] Mr. Mussabini...I can run fast. With your help I believe I can run even faster. I want that Olympic medal. Now I can see it there. It's waiting for me. But I can't get it on my own.
