| 3 | * The intro with the running-along-the-beach scene, shown again at the end, to a choir singing "Jerusalem." It is ''powerful.'' |
| 4 | * Eric Liddell is knocked down by another runner, and the pack leaves him far behind. Eric gets up, runs after everyone else and wins the race - and then collapses in exhaustion. And no, it's not a marathon, or a half-marathon, or even a mile - it's a ''440 yard sprint.'' The man is simply ''that fast.'' |
| 5 | * Liddell standing up to the ''Crown Prince of England.'' |
| 6 | -->'''Cadogan''': There's only one way to resolve the situation. That's for this man to change his mind, and run!\ |
| 7 | '''Prince of Wales''': Don't state the obvious, Cadogan. We have to explore ways in which we can help this young man to reach that decision.\ |
| 8 | '''Liddell''': I'm afraid there are no ways, sir. I won't run on the Sabbath, and that's final. I intended to confirm this with Lord Birkenhead tonight, even before you called me up in front of this inquisition of yours.\ |
| 9 | '''Cadogan''': Don't be impertinent, Liddell.\ |
| 10 | '''Liddell''': The impertinence lies, sir, with those who seek to influence a man to deny his beliefs! |
| 11 | * The sermon which Liddell delivers while the race he refused to participate in is being run. |
| 12 | * Liddell, via voice over, as he breaks out in his famous pose. |
