SOPHIE: Clutches, they don't make them how they used to.
KEVIN: Do you want something?
SOPHIE: You know, you've not been running for ages.
KEVIN: Yeah, well I've not had time.
SOPHIE: You still doing the half marathon?
KEVIN: I don't know.
SOPHIE: I blame Molly.
KEVIN: What?
SOPHIE: Well when she's here, you're always out training and doing your stretches and
eating healthy. And now she's away, all you've been doing is laying on the couch, scoffing
chips and watching telly.
KEVIN: Yeah well, I'm going to reconsider my career as a long distance specialist.
SOPHIE: I mean it's a shame that, if you give up. You're always telling me to finish things
I started.
KEVIN: Uh, you've only got your schoolwork to worry about. I've got a full-time job and
a family.
SOPHIE: I didn't know you were a quitter.
KEVIN: I'm not a quitter.
SOPHIE: Prove it.

SOPHIE: Dad, I've been on the computer.
KEVIN: Oh yeah?
SOPHIE: Yep, and I've done this for you.
KEVIN: What is it?
SOPHIE: Well, I've set up a sponsorship webpage, and I'm your first sponsor and I've sponsored
you 50p a mile.
KEVIN: Oh, I don't know. I might have to pull out, but I can make a donation.
SOPHIE: Why?
KEVIN: I think I've pulled a muscle or something in my leg.
SOPHIE: Well are you alright?
KEVIN: Yeah it's just a...just a tweak.
SOPHIE: Well it's got to be more than a tweak, dad, if you're pulling out. You've been training
for ages.
KEVIN: Yeah, I know.
SOPHIE: Well what about Molly?
KEVIN: I don't know.
SOPHIE: Well why don't you just go and see a doctor or a physiotherapist or something?
KEVIN: You know what? You're right, I'm not going to pull out. Why should I? I want to
run, for you.
SOPHIE: For me?
KEVIN: I'll finish this race if it kills me.
SOPHIE: Oh God, don't go that far.
KEVIN: I won't let you down! I was born to run.
SOPHIE: Bruce Springsteen.
KEVIN: Well done!
SOPHIE: I know dad music.
