What did Commander Tom ‘Stinger’ Jordan from Top Gun say to the Englishman when he saw Lewis Collins chasing a food critic travelling on top of Emil Zatopek?

Your Egon’s riding Czechs your Bodie can’t catch.

(Emil Zatopek was a very good Czech runner who, I believe, even when weighed down by the heft of food critic Egon Ronay would still be more than a match for television and film actor Lewis Collins whose most famous role was as William Bodie in the hit late 70s and early 80s show The Professionals. Even though food critic Egon Ronay was Hungarian born, he lived the majority of his life in the UK and produced most of his seminal work there. Therefore it would be correct for the American Commander Jordan to refer to both Ronay and Collins as 'yours’ to the Englishman to whom he is speaking. It’s watertight)
