Tonya Harding

• What's people's impression of me? Um... That I'm a real person. You know, I--I never apologized for growing up poor or being a redneck, which is what I am. Um, you know, in a sport where the friggin' judges want you to be this old-timey version of what a woman's supposed to be. For being the first U.S. woman to land a triple axel. So fuck 'em.

Dialogue

Diane Rawlinson: I am so sorry, but there's no smoking on the ice.

LaVona Golden: Oh. Well, I'll smoke it quietly, then.

LaVona Golden: Concentrate. You call that a clean skate, for Christ's sake?

Skater Mom: Do not swear in front of the kids, please, LaVona.

LaVona Golden: I didn't swear, you cunt.

---

LaVona Golden: No, I made you a champion, knowing you'd hate me for it. That's the sacrifice a mother makes. I wish I had a mother like me instead of nice. Nice gets you shit. I didn't like my mother either. So what? I fucking gave you a gift!

Tonya: You cursed me.

Shawn: People don't take me seriously, Jeff, but I am in control of the situations. I proved that today.

Jeff: This was not the-- Better think it-- Not in control!

Shawn: Relax. Everything is great. Yes, my parents did tape over my favorite episode of "Star Trek" to record the CNN coverage, but I'm keepin' it together.

Jeff: You're a fucking idiot!
