"I thought it was atrociously organised." "That whole kerfuffle with the shuttle bus - we almost missed the heat." "I'm so glad you said that." "Yes." "Anyway, I had a word to them."

"Keep going." "Coach?" "I can't train today." "I don't know how it worked at your other school, but unless you have broken your arm, then you can swim." "I got detention." "I hit Scooter." "You can't swim, you can't be on the team." "Hey, I was just defending myself." "Scooter's been at me since I got here." "Hey, YOU said give it back." "And this is what you think I meant, to hit someone?" "Hm?" "Go back to class." "You're off the team." "Come on, let's go." "Keep going." "Where are you going?" "It's automatic suspension!"

"Going to that school is a very special opportunity, and I'm going to do everything I can to support him." "He's going to be one of the greats." "He's going to be a champion." "And what if...?" "What if what, love?" "You know what I'm going to say." "I want him to win too, but what if he's not good enough?" "What if he doesn't make it, what then?" "(SHUTS DOOR)" "I need to see Judd and Wilkinson." "Training, sir." "Thank you, sir." "I'm sorry, Coach." "Yeah, well, it's too late for that." "I'm faster than them." "You want to win at Albury, right?" "You're not going to win without me." "Is that right?" "Yeah." "And you're faster than them?" "Yeah." "OK." "Come with me." "OK, boys, take a break." "Danny's here because he thinks he should be in the team instead of one of you." "He says to me he's faster." "Who you faster than?" "You know." "I'll tell you what I know." "I know I have a group of men here, busting a gut, and I have a boy here with a big mouth." "So, who are you faster than?" "'Cause if you're right, I have to cut one of these men." "Who is it?" "Tsitsas." "Tsitsas?" "Are you sure?" "Yeah." "Yeah?" "You have your costume?" "Yeah." "Yeah?" "Tsitsas, grab your goggles." "The rest of you, sit down." "You're going to swim." "Gutless."

"Torma said you could be the best." "I think he's wrong." "You ARE the best." "OK?" "Never forget that." "Mr Torma?" "Danny." "You're early." "Cool garden." "You like it, huh?" "(LAUGHS)" "Come through to the left, and put your bag down." "Is that your dad?" "You cheeky little...!" "That is me, before I left Hungary." "And that... ..that is my coach." "You know, he used to hit us with a cane if he thought we were being lazy." "You see, a coach, he recognises potential." "That is all we have." "But there is something else that makes a champion beyond potential." "Is he the boy who pushes to the front of the line, the boy who has to win?" "You know, Danny, I've never had an Olympian." "I've come very close, but..." "You make me believe." "I could be an Olympian?" "You won't be anything if you can't be part of this team." "I was giving it back, like you said." "You were doing exactly what they wanted you to do." "You are stronger than them, you are faster than them." "You must believe you deserve to be here, and then those boys, they will be begging you to swim with them." "I promise." "(DOORBELL)" "And that will be them." "(BOYS LAUGH AND TALK)" "Hello, boys."

"Who'd have thought?" "(LAUGHS)" "OK, enough, enough." "So, who's going to win the 1,500 at the Atlanta Olympics?" "Perkins." "Mm, KP's done." "Seriously - he only just made the team." "Maybe." "But you've got to remember, Wilco, he's a champion." "What about you, Kelly?" "Who will win, Kowalski or Perkins?" "Perkins has been on top for a long time, but no-one stays on top forever." "Kowalski's going to win." "(DRUMS TABLE) My man, Kelly!" "Mm!" "You're going to have to wash your hands now." "TORMA:" "Hey!" "You're always fucking laughing and pointing and giggling like girls, and I'm sick of it!" "All of you, look at me, and listen." "There's one team here, OK?" "Not two teams, not ten, one." "So all this squabbling and bullshit between you all, it stops here, tonight, do you understand me," "or no-one will be going to Albury." "Is that what you want?" "Hm?" "Is that what you want, Danny?" "No, Coach." "Is that what you want, Martin?" "No, Coach." "Alright." "Then, enough." "Sorry for giving you so much shit recently." "We've just known Tsitsas since Year 7, so it's hard having someone new come in." "We cool?" "That was very well said, Martin." "That's why I'm making you the team captain." "Legend!" "Now, you understand what I said?" "SCOOTER AND MARTIN:" "Yes, Coach." "OK." "OK, finish up." "I've got something I want to show you." "Danny." "What is it?" "It's grappa."

"Torma's not lonely." "He's got us." "Oh, shit!" "Did I do that?" "What?" "Those bruises." "Shit!" "Doesn't hurt anymore." "Fuck!" "(LAUGHS)" "How popular would I be if I cracked the rib of our best swimmer?" "I'm not the best swimmer, you are." "Isn't that why Torma brought you here... ..'cause you're better than us?" "Don't worry about it." "I'm cool with it." "You're a great swimmer!" "Coach reckons I'm getting lazy." "He reckons that I've got too comfortable." "Well, I could help you." "I'll push you a bit." "What?" "Like, you'd help me get better?" "Yeah, for sure." "One team!" "Yeah." "Wow." "Get off my bed though." "Sorry, dude." "I said, get your filthy wog feet off my mattress."
