• Henry Stallard : [the athletes are playing cricket in the ballroom of their hotel. Henry Stallard is the umpire; Aubrey Montague bowls a delivery to Eric Liddell, batting]  No ball!

  Harold M. Abrahams : [desperate to get into bat]  Come on, Aubrey, the old leg-break!

  Harold M. Abrahams : [Aubrey bowls another delivery, which deceivingly appears to have gotten Eric out]  HowZAT!

  Henry Stallard : Not out!

  Harold M. Abrahams : What do you mean, not out? You could"ve heard it from bloody Bournemouth! Come on, Liddell, my innings.

  Eric Liddell : I didn"t touch it, I swear it, must"ve been the crack of my wrist!

  Harold M. Abrahams : He"s out I tell you, you"re all deaf - deaf and bloody blind! Aubrey I ask you, for God"s sake!

  Harold M. Abrahams : [No response from Aubrey, dramatic pause] 

  [punching the air] 

  Harold M. Abrahams : It"s not FAIR!

  [the athletes break into laughter, Abrahams eventually joining them]
