You don't see the Swiss
team fightin', do you?
You don't see the Swiss team
drinkin' and carryin' on and such.
And you don't see the Swiss
team smilin' neither.
In fact, if one of those Swiss boys
ever come across a pretty girl...
he probably yell,
"Eins, zwei, drei..."
and try to push her
down some ice.
- What happened?
- Oh, I took care of the whole thing.
I told the owner of the bar
these guys were...
mentally disturbed, so he's
All right, sled god
does it again.
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.
Now, if we're even gonna
think about qualifying...
we're each gonna have to sit down
and take a nice, deep look inside.
I didn't come all this way
to get my butt whipped.
As a matter of fact, now that
I'm here, I thought I'd do
a little whippin' of my own.
Good night, gentlemen.
Rise and shine!
It's butt-whipping time.
Rise above it
Rise above it
Not bad.
Pick it up though.
Come on, come on, come on,
come on. Now, now, now!
Just rise above it
Come on and rise above it
- Good. That's it.
- Even though the road
seems very long and narrow
- Five more. Come on. Five more.
Push it, push it. Come on.
- Baby need to sharpen his pin
- Just like an arrow
- That's it, that's it.
- Got-a no place to go
- That's it. Good, good.
- Good. You're doin' fine.
You got anymore?
- Believe us, baby
Come on! Come on! Get in!
Oh! Wait! Hey! Help!
believe in yourself, yeah
Listen, little man, there ain't
nothin'you can't achieve if
you work hard and sacrifiice
- Hear me now
- If you've got a problem
- You've got to rise above it
Yes, you do
- Go, go, go, go, go! That's it.
- And when you face a challenge
- You gotta grip with your toes. Go! Go!
- You got to rise above it It's so large
- Now! Now!
reappear, oh, yes
You don't ever have to fear
Just rise above it
- You have got to
- Rise above it
I tell ya once
and I tell ya twice
You know, you're gonna have to
do this on your own one day.
Just one man
and a thousand eyes
Come now, come now
and take my advice
Rise above it
Rise above it
- Rise above it
- Go, go, go, go, go!
Now, now, now, now, now!
- Straight. Right.

- Rise above it
- That's it! That's it! That's it!
- Rise above it
- Rise above it
- You can do it
- Rise above it
- You can do it
Okay, guys.
Tonight's the night.
Now in a few minutes, you're gonna
get a chance to do something...
that no one in your country
has ever done.
I was gonna save this for
the Olympics, but I figure...
if we're going to convince
these judges...
that we are
world-class sledders...
then we had better look
like world-class sledders.
- Whoa, man.
- Yes.
Nice.
I freeze in this.
Bob in track.
Hello, gentlemen.
Irv, this is Karl Shindler.
He'll be watching the middle track.
- How do you do?
- And this is August Gremmer.
He'll be judging
the push starts.
- Hi.
- I'm your third official
up in the tower.
You. What happened
to Kroychzech?
He came down sick this morning.
I'm taking his place.
Oh, goody.
Oh, the Alliance has decided
to change the qualifying time...
from a minute-two
to a minute-flat.
Is that clear?
No problem, man.
Go get 'em, kid.
Track is clear
forJamaica One.
Eins, zwei, drei.
Go, go, go!
Now, now, now, now!
- All right, what was that time?
- 6.13.
Under 60?
Is it under 60?
I'm, uh... I'm sorry.
I'm outta here. That's terrific.
Derice!
- Ah, no, it's great.
- They couldn't beat us.
- I know we were the best.
- Yeah.
...inspired you guys, that's all.
- You were great, all of ya.
Nobody had that much fun
Fellas, here's to
followin' your dreams.
- Yeah, man.
- Followin' your dreams.
I said it to your father the first time
I met him, and I'll say it again.
Sprinters make
the best bobsledders.
Here's to sprinting.
So what are we gonna
name the sled?
How about "Tallulah"?
- That's hot. Tallulah.
- Tallulah. Tallulah.
Sounds like a two-dollar hooker.
How you come up with that?
Hey, you idiot,
that's my mother's name.
- It's a pretty name.
- Tallulah. I like that.
So what's it gonna be, star?
What are the people gonna be screamin'
I say we call it
"Cool Runnings."
- Beautiful.
- I like it.
- It's very strong.
- Nice. Very nice.
Uh, what exactly
does it mean?
"Cool runnings" means
"Peace be the journey."
- Peace be the journey.
- Peace be the journey.
- Cool runnings.
- Cool runnings.
- Cool runnings.
- E-Excuse me.
To the man
in the orange suit!
To the orange!
To the man in the orange!
- To the messenger.
- To the messenger.
- To the messenger.
We are officially
disqualified.
Excuse me, gentlemen.
Kurt, I really have to talk to you.
Excuse me, Irv.
I've nothing to say to you.
Yes, you do.
- I want to know why
you disqualified my guys.
- As you were told...
your team must compete in
an international race in order
to qualify for the Olympics.
But in an Olympic year...
the qualifiers count
as an international race.
That may have been true
in past Olympic years...
but this year, the Alliance
decided to change its policy.
Oh, please!
Change its policy?
The Alliance has the right to do
whatever they feel is in the
best interest of the sport.
We must also be concerned about
the potential for embarrassment.
Oh, forgive me.
I didn't realize...
that four black guys in
a bobsled could make you blush.
Come on, Kurt. What you're doin'
is wrong and you know it.
Now, if this is about
you and me...
then 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 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 50th.
Those guys have earned the right
They've earned the right...
to march into that stadium
and wave their nation's flag.
That's the single
greatest honor...
an athlete
could 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.
Hello. Yes?
Yeah.
Right. Good-bye.
- What?
- That was the Alliance.
- God.
- What did they say?
Oh, they said
we're back in.
Yes! Yes! Yes!
And a lot is expected
of the Italian team.
Did I miss it?
Did I miss it?
