Cool Runnings quotes

View Quote 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.

View Quote Just shut up, Sanka. Now maybe you haven't noticed, but we aren't exactly winning any popularity contests here. They hate me; they hate you; they hate us!

As a matter of fact, now that I'm here, I thought I'd do a little whipping of my own! Good night, gentlemen!

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.
