Sanka: So what are we going to name the sled?
Junior: How about, Talulah.
Rest of team:
[Laughing] Talulah!
Sanka: Sounds like a two-dollar hooker. How'd you come up with that?
Junior: That's my mother's name.
[Embarrassed silence, then Team converses in agreement that Talulah is a good name]
Sanka:
[to Derice] What's it gonna be, star? What are the people gonna be screaming when Jamaica takes the hill?
Derice: I say we call it, 'Cool Runnings.'
Junior: Beautiful, I like it.
Yul: Very strong.
Coach Irv: Nice, very nice, but... what exactly does it mean?
Derice: Cool runnings means, "peace be the journey."
Team:
[Toasting] Cool Runnings.
Messenger: Excuse me...
[gives Coach Irv a letter and leaves]
Sanka:
[Toasting] To the man in the orange suit.

[Junior Bevil is conflicted about his father coming to Calgary to fetch him]
Junior Bevil:
[Murmurs] Pride, Power...
[Stops elevator] Father, when you look at me, what do you see?
Whitby Bevil Sr: I don't have time for games. Junior.
Junior: Tell me what you see, please!
Whitby: All right, I'll tell you what I see. I see a lost little boy, who's lucky to have a father who knows what's best for him.
Junior: No, no, no, no, you don't know what's best for me, Father. I am not a lost little boy, Father. I am a man, and I'm an Olympian. I'm staying right here.
[Elevator door closes with a sad Whitby Sr inside]
Yul: Junior Bevil. You bad-ass mother.

[Coach Irv has reprimanded the team over their run earlier in the day]
Derice: You know, when the Swiss want to ge....
[Team groans]
Sanka: Ah, will you shut up about the damn Swiss! I mean, it was all that
eins zwei drei nonsense that got us all nervous in the first place.
Derice: Hey, man, look here, I'm just trying to get us off on the right foot.
Sanka: Well, the right foot for us is not the Swiss foot. I mean, come on, Derice, we can't be copying nobody else's style. We have our own style.
Derice: Kissing an egg is no kind of style. It's the Olympics here, it's no stupid push-cart derby.
[Long pause]
Sanka: Let me tell you something, rasta, I didn't come up here to forget who I am and where I come from.
Derice: Neither did I. I'm just trying to be the best I can be.
Sanka: So am I, and the best I can be is Jamaican. Look, Derice, I've known you since Julie Jeffreys asked to see your ding-a-ling
[Derice smiles] and I'm telling you as a friend...if we look Jamaican, walk Jamaican, talk Jamaican and IS Jamaican, then we sure as hell better bobsled Jamaican.
