He may be your best friend, Sandy,
but he's my best brother.

:16:24
I'm thinking of him
and not your blessed athletics team.

:16:27
His heart's set on following Father
in the mission.

:16:30
Do you not think he's busy enough
without taking up racing?

:16:33
He's fast, Jennie.
You've seen him with a ball in his hands.

:16:36
I've seen him with a Bible in his hands.
:16:38
And I know which is the most important.
:16:41
You can't deny him the chance.
:16:43
Get him on the track, I'm telling you...
:16:45
Don't tell me, Sandy. I don't want to hear.
:16:48
Eric's special to me. Precious.
:16:50
I don't want his work spoilt
with all this running talk, do you hear?

:17:02
There you are. Well done.
:17:13
You know, ladies and gentlemen,
:17:15
one of the compensations
of achieving a certain notoriety,

:17:19
if only as a rugby player,
:17:20
is that occasionally
you're asked to give things away.

:17:25
It's often said that giving beats receiving.
:17:28
Let me tell you -
:17:30
the look of delight
on those litle boys' faces

:17:32
was worth ten of the tin pots gathering
dust on my Edinburgh sideboard.

:17:38
When we were in China, my father here
:17:41
was always waxing lyrical
about his wee home in the glen.

:17:45
But being oriental-born myself,
:17:48
like my brothers and my sister here,
:17:50
I suffered from a natural incredulity.
:17:54
But looking about me now -
:17:56
the heather on the hills -
:17:59
I can see he was right.
