[Rapping]

Some people say you know them can't believe, Jamaica we have a bobsled team. We have a one Derice.

And a one Junior.

Yu... Sanka.

The fastest of the fastest of Jamaican sprinters.

Team

Go to Olympics fight for Jamaica.

Kids
[Sanka's pushcart chant.]

Who's the captain of our crew? Who's a friend to me and you? Kinda nice, good lookin', too! Sanka, Sanka, yeah Sanka!

Ha ha ha ha, now get back to work!

Who's the big hot bag of air? Who doesn't have to comb his hair? Who doesn't bathe, and doesn't care? Sanka! Sanka! Yeah, Sanka!

[the team has just crashed in the medal run]

Derice! You dead?

No, man, I'm not dead. [removes his helmet] We have to finish the race.

Irv
[pushing through spectators to reach the crash]

Excuse me, please. Excuse me.

[sees the team carrying the sled over the finish line, to applause and cheers from the crowd] [shakes Derice's hand]

Sehr gut, Jamaica. We'll see you in four years, ja?

Yeah, man.

Yul
[grabs Junior]

Junior Bevil! [kisses him on the forehead] That doesn't mean that I like you.

We split. [they laugh and hug each other]

All I'm saying, mon, is if we walk Jamaican, talk Jamaican, and is Jamaican, then we sure as hell better bobsled Jamaican.

All right, Derice. Let me lay out some difficulties for you. Snow: you don't have any. It's nine hundred degrees out there. Time: you don't have any. The Olympics are in three months. And me: you don't have me. As far as I'm concerned, the sport of bobsledding no longer exists. I don't want to do it, I don't want to coach it, and most of all, and I mean most of all, I don't want to be within two thousand miles of anybody who does. Now did you follow all that?

And you don't see the Swiss team smiling neither. In fact, if one of those Swiss boys ever came across a pretty girl he would probably yell 'eins, zwei, drei' and try to push her down some ice!

Come on, Kurt, what you're doing here is wrong, and you know it! Now if this is about you and me, let's lay it all down now. All right, sixteen years ago, I made the biggest mistake of my life: I cheated. I was stupid. I embarrassed myself, I embarrassed my country, my friends, my family, my teammates, [points to Kurt] and my coach. Hey, 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. Hey, it doesn't matter tomorrow if they come in first or fiftieth. Those guys have earned the right to walk 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 all about. Sixteen years ago I forgot that. Don't you go and do the same.
