View Quote Derice: Thats a bobsled.
Sanka: Oh, so a bobsled is push-cart with no wheels.
Derice: Thats what it looks like here.
Sanka: "Let me see that...Alright, the key elements to a successful sled team are a steady driver, and three strong runners to push off down the ice." ICE? Ice?
Derice: Well, it's kind of a winter sport, you know.
Sanka: You mean winter, as in ice?
Derice: Maybe.
Sanka: You mean winter, as in igloos and eskimos and penguins and ICE?
Derice: Possibly.
Sanka: See ya.
Derice: Where you going?
Sanka: I'm going to take a hot bath, I'm getting cold just thinking about all this ice.
View Quote Sanka: Look star, let me tell you a little something alright. When you need something from me you don't have to hand me a bunch of lines. All you have to do is look at me in the eye and say, "Sanka you are my best friend and we have been through a whole heap together and I really, really need you."
Derice: Sanka alright, and you are my best friend, and we've been through a whole lot together.
Sanka: Heap, heap!
Derice: Sorry man, whole heap together.
Sanka: And I really, really need you.
Derice: And I really, really need you.

View Quote 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 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.
View Quote What I am saying to you, is that you are the kind of club-toting, raw-meat-eating, Me-Tarzan-You-Jane-ing big bald bubblehead that can only count to ten if he's barefoot or wearing sandals.
View Quote Derice: I can't believe your still cold man.
Sanka: Cold?! I'm freezing my royal Rastafarian nay-nays off!
View Quote Sanka: I know, I'm the driver right?

Sanka: No, no I'm the driver.
Irv: No you're not, you're the brake man.
Sanka: I'm the driver.
Irv: You're not, you're the brake man.
Sanka: You don't understand, I am Sanka Coffie, I am the best push-cart driver in all of Jamaica, I must drive. Do you dig where I'm coming from?
Irv: Yeah I dig where you're coming from. Now dig where I'm coming from. I'm coming from two gold medals, I'm coming from nine world records in both the two and four-man events. I'm coming from ten years of intense competition with the best athletes in the world.
Sanka: Thats a hell of a place to be coming from.
View Quote Our Father, who art in Calgary, Bobsled be thy name. Thy kingdom come, gold medals won, on Earth as it is in Turn Seven. With Liberty and Justice for Jamaica and Haile Selassie. Amen.
View Quote Irv: Now, a lot of coaches would be giving you one of those win-one-for-the-gipper speeches. I'm not good at that stuff, instead I thought I'd, uh, lead you in a psalm of inspiration. Let's bow our heads.
Sanka: Who's the gipper?
Irv: Our father who art in Calgary, bobsled be thy name, thy kingdom come, gold medals won. On Earth as it is in turn Seven. Liberty and justice for Jamaica and Haile Selassie, Amen.

Junior: Yul, thats where the Queen of England lives.
View Quote Derice: I can't believe the trials are finally here.
