Sam Craig : No.
Tess Harding : Why not?
Sam Craig : Because you're incapable of doing them, that's why. You can't expect Seabiscuit to stop in the middle of the stretch, drink a glass of water, and count to seven at the same time, you know. That takes training.
Tess Harding : Well, I'm not Seabiscuit.
