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.
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?
Junior Alright father, listen here. You see, I have made up my mind I am going to be a bobsledder. Thats right, a bobsledder. Oh really? Well I'm sorry you feel that way, fine cut off my allowance. Because you see father, a man has got to do what a man has got to do.

No problem, man. [punches Josef Grool]
So what are we going to name the sled?
Junior How about, Taloola.
Taloola.
Sounds like a two-dollar hooker. How'd you come up with that?
Junior Hey, that's my mother's name. [Team converses in agreement]
What's it gonna be, star? What are the people gonna be screaming when Jamaica takes the hill?
We say in kind, 'Cool Runnings.'

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 Junior's Father inside]
Junior Bevil. A bad-ass mother.
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.
Junior Bevil Yeah, but father, you know, I just–
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.
Junior Yeah, but the team needs me-
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.
