Something wrong with the clip?
Quote
Duke of Sutherland:
A sticky moment, George.
Lord Birkenhead:
Thank God for Lindsay. I thought the lad had us beaten.
Duke of Sutherland:
He did have us beaten, and thank God he did.
Lord Birkenhead:
I don't quite follow you.
Duke of Sutherland:
The "lad", as you call him, is a true man of principles and a true athlete. His speed is a mere extension of his life, its force. We sought to sever his running from himself.
Lord Birkenhead:
For his country's sake, yes.
Lord Birkenhead:
No sake is worth that, least of all a guilty national pride.

- A sticky moment, George.
- Hmm.
Thank God for Lindsay. I
thought the lad had us beaten.
He did have us beaten, F.E.,
and thank God he did.
- I don't quite follow you.
- Well, the lad, as you call him…
…is a true man of principle,
and a true athlete.
His speed is a mere extension
of his life, its force.
We sought to sever his
running from himself.
For his country's sake, yes.
No sake is worth that, F.E., least
of all a guilty national pride.
"Lindsay makes way for Liddell. Four
hundred meters for defecting Scot."
'Smacks of fanaticism,
' says official.
'Man of principle, ' says primate.
'We should be proud."'
