A distance traditionally
recognised as one of 188 paces.
:12:06
I say, Abrahams, what have you got
on your feet? Rockets?
:12:09
The challenge will commence on the...
:12:11
- Abrahams, you haven't got a chance!
- Do it for Israel!
:12:15
The challenge commences
on the stroke of one.
:12:17
The challenger must finish
before the stroke of 12.
:12:20
Come on, Abrahams, you swank!
:12:23
Will the challenger make himself ready?
:12:32
This Abrahams.
What do you know about him?
:12:35
Repton chap.
:12:37
Jewish.
:12:39
- His father's a financier in the city.
- Financier?
:12:42
What's that supposed to mean, I wonder?
:12:44
I imagine he lends money.
:12:47
Exactly.
:12:49
And what do they say about the son?
:12:51
Academically sound. Arrogant.
:12:54
Defensive to the point of pugnacity.
:12:57
As they invariably are.
:12:59
Yet possessing
a keen sense of duty and loyalty.
:13:06
Do they say he can run?
:13:08
Like the wind.
:13:14
Gentlemen, would you draw back, please?
Away from the course.
:13:17
Thank you.
:13:19
Mr Abrahams, your position, please.
:13:22
Owing to the absence
of any other challenger,
:13:24
Mr Abrahams will run alone.
:13:26
Not so, Mr Starter!
:13:32
Your name and college, if you please, sir.
:13:34
Lindsay. I race beside my friend here.
:13:37
We challenge in the name
of Repton, Eton and Caius.
:13:44
- I didn't know you ran.
- Nor I you.
:13:46
Some chap just told me about this.
I thought I'd come and push you along.
:13:50
- Delighted.
- Splendid.
:13:52
Good luck.
:13:53
Gentlemen, to your marks, if you please.
:13:58
Now remember, on the first strike of 12.
