Scenes with Yul Brenner
9 scenes Yul You're crowding me slinky-head.
Hehe, slinky-head, that's a good one.
Yul What are you laughing about?
Nothing.
Yul If it wasn't for you rich boy, I'd be in the Olympics right now.
I don't know what you all are arguing about because Derice was going to beat both your butts anyway.
Yul What are you talking about? How 'bout I beat your butt right now!
How about I draw a line down the middle of your head so it looks like a butt?
Yul You're going nowhere Sanka and you're thrilled to death about it. Well, you see me, you see me? I'm different, because I know exactly where I'm going. And after I, Yul Brenner win the Olympics and become famous I'm going to leave the island and live right down there.
[Laughing]
That's Buckingham Palace, you plan on living there you're going to have to marry the Queen.
Yul, thats where the Queen of England lives.
Maid service sir. Would you like your bed turned down? Mint? Perhaps I could dust your head?
Yul Whatever is wrong with you is no little thing.
Yul Brenner Now look in the mirror, and tell me what you see!
I see Junior.
Yul Brenner Junior, Junior. You see Junior? Well, you want to know what I see? I see pride! I see power! I see a bad-ass mother who don't take no crap off of nobody!
You really see all that?
Yul Yeah man. But it's not about what I see, it's about what you see. Now look in this mirror and tell me again what you see.
I see..
Yul Pride!...Power.
Power. I see..
Yul A bad-ass mother who-
-who don't take no crap off of nobody!
Yul AGAIN!
Now you listen me buddy. I will not be talked to that way so you better come up with a damn good apology or else...
Or else what? [shoves Junior Bevil] Eh Jamaica, or else what? Come on Jamaica, say something.
Yul No problem, man. [punches Josef Grool]
So what are we going to name the sled?
How about, Taloola.
Rest of team
[Laughing]
Taloola.
Sounds like a two-dollar hooker. How'd you come up with that?
Hey, that's my mother's name. [Team converses in agreement]
[to Derice]
What's it gonna be, star? What are the people gonna be screaming when Jamaica takes the hill?
We say in kind, 'Cool Runnings.'
Beautiful, I like that.
Yul Very strong.
Coach Irv
Very nice, but what exactly does it mean?
Cool runnings means, peace be to journey.
Team
[Toasting]
Cool Runnings.
Messenger
Excuse me...
Coach Irv
[Ashen-faced, after reading the letter]
We are officially...disqualified.
[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.
Tell me what you see, please!
Whitby
Alright 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.
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 Junior's Father inside]
Yul Junior Bevil. A bad-ass mother.
Whitby Bevil Sr [Junior Bevil is conflicted about his father coming to Calgary to fetch him]
Now you listen to me, boy. You might not have done what you were asked, but you will do what you're told. You're coming home.
Yeah, but father, you know, I just–
Whitby
But nothing!! I didn't send you to the finest school for you to... go around sliding on your back side! You must be mad.
Yeah, but the team needs me-
Whitby
I don't want to hear any more about it. [Elevator door opens] Go and get your things. [Junior Bevil stands aside to usher his father into the elevator] I'll wait in the lobby.
Whitby
I don't have time for games, 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.
[Stops elevator again]
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 [having seen the exchange]
Hey, Junior Bevil. You're a bad-ass mother.
No, man, I'm not dead. [removes his helmet] We have to finish the race.
[sees the team carrying the sled over the finish line, to applause and cheers from the crowd] [shakes Derice's hand]
Sehr gut, Jamaica. We'll see you in four years, ja?
Yeah, man.
Yul [grabs Junior]
Junior Bevil! [kisses him on the forehead] That doesn't mean that I like you.
We split. [they laugh and hug each other]
