Bill Bowerman:
George Young is in town.
Steve Prefontaine:
So?
Bill Bowerman:
So, he holds the world record in the two mile.
Steve Prefontaine:
Well we're running the 5,000 at the trials, Bill. What... you don't think I can beat George Young?
Bill Bowerman:
He's got one hell of a finishing kick. Now you're not gonna run away from him... flat out.
Steve Prefontaine:
Ah shit, we're back to front running again?
Bill Bowerman:
Nothing would please George Young more... or the crowd. You'd be giving the crown the performance they want and him the one he expects.
Steve Prefontaine:
Well you could call a race any goddamn you want, but I wouldn't call it a performance.
Bill Bowerman:
What would you call it?
Steve Prefontaine:
A work of art!
Bill Bowerman:
If you can't beat George Young, you can't win in Munich. Beating George Young is gonna take some kind of time.
Steve Prefontaine:
O.K... what kind of time?
Steve Prefontaine:
13:23? 13:23? That's seven seconds faster than the American record, MY American record!
Bill Bowerman:
Your American record.
Steve Prefontaine:
How do I do that?
Bill Bowerman:
You wear him out. Decending series... negative splits.
Bill Bowerman:
Slowly, you go a little faster than he thinks your going. By the time he figures it out, he won't have enough left to hurt you.
