[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.
[Kurt stops for a moment as well as the IAWS. He expects a confession from Irv and isn't disappointed when he finally hears it from Irv.]
Irv Blitzer:
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 50th. 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.
