View Quote [Waking up Irv for the training run]
Sanka: Rise and shine.
Derice: It's butt whipping time.
View Quote Irv: Ok guys, tonight's the night. Now in a few minutes you'll get a chance to do something no one in your country has ever done. Now I was going to save this for the Olympics but I figure if we're going to convince these judges that we are world-class sledders, than we have better look like world-class sledders. [unveils team uniforms]
Sanka: [after examining his bodysuit] I freeze in this.
View Quote Sanka: So what are we going to name the sled?
Junior: How about, Taloola.
Rest of team: [Laughing] Taloola.
Sanka: Sounds like a two-dollar hooker. How'd you come up with that?
Junior: Hey, that's my mother's name. [Team converses in agreement]
Sanka: [to Derice] What's it gonna be, star? What are the people gonna be screaming when Jamaica takes the hill?
Derice: We say in kind, 'Cool Runnings.'
Junior: Beautiful, I like that.
Yul: Very strong.
Coach Irv: Very nice, but what exactly does it mean?
Derice: Cool runnings means, peace be to journey.
Team: [Toasting] Cool Runnings.
Sanka: [Toasting] To the man in the orange suit.
Messenger: Excuse me...
Sanka: [Toasting] To the messenger.
Coach Irv: [Ashen-faced, after reading the letter] We are officially...disqualified.
View Quote [At the IAWS meeting]
British Alliance Member: We must also be concerned about the potential for embarrassment.
Irv Blitzer: Oh, forgive me. I didn't realize that four black guys in a bobsled could make you blush.
Kurt: I think we've heard enough.
Irv: [pleads] Come on, Kurt, what you're doing is wrong, and you know it! Now if this is about you and me, let's get it straight right now. All right, 16 years ago, I made the biggest mistake of my life - I cheated. I was stupid. I embarrassed myself, my family, my teammates, my country... [points to Kurt] and my coach. If it's revenge you want, take it. Go ahead, disqualify me, banish me! Do whatever you want, but do it to me! It was me who let you down, Kurt! It wasn't my guys! They've done everything you've asked of them! And they did it with all of you laughing in their face. Hell, it doesn't matter if they come in first or fiftieth. Those guys have earned the right to represent their country. They've earned the right to march into that stadium and wave their nation's flag. That's the single greatest honor an athlete can ever have. That's what the Olympics are about. Sixteen years ago I forgot that. Don't you go and do the same. Sorry if I interrupted your meeting.
View Quote Irv: Now, a lot of coaches would be giving you one of those win-one-for-the-gipper speeches. I'm not good at that stuff, instead I thought I'd, uh, lead you in a psalm of inspiration. Let's bow our heads.
Sanka: Who's the gipper?
Irv: Our father who art in Calgary, bobsled be thy name, thy kingdom come, gold medals won. On Earth as it is in turn Seven. Liberty and justice for Jamaica and Haile Selassie, Amen.
View Quote Junior Bevil: [Murmurs] Pride, Power...[Stops elevator] Father, when you look at me, what do you see?
Whitby Bevil Sr: I don't have time for games. Junior.
Junior: Tell me what you see, please!
Whitby: Alright I'll tell you what I see. I see a lost little boy, who's lucky to have a father who knows what's best for him.
Junior: No, no, no, no you don't know what's best for me father. I am not a lost little boy father, I am a man and I'm an Olympian. I'm staying right here. [Elevator door closes with Junior's Father inside]
Yul: Junior Bevil. A bad-ass mother.
View Quote [Derice slaps the team as warm-up.]
Sanka: What are you doing?
Derice: Thats what the Swiss do to psych themselves up.
Sanka: They also make those little pocketknives too but I don't see you doing that.
View Quote Joy: That fool had better watch his mouth.
Momma Coffie: He'd better watch MORE than that.
View Quote [Rapping as a grand entrance before the second run]
