27. Yeah, man. Do it for Jamaica.
- You know what my grandfather says?Copy !req
28. What?
- Get back to work!Copy !req
29. - Booie, booie!Copy !req
30. Good luck, man. I'll see you

31. - Hi, Momma Coffie.
- Hi, Derice.Copy !req
32. - Derice, is Sanka ready?
- Who knows?Copy !req
33. That boy's never ready. He's a lazy,
crazy, sorry, no-good bag of bones.Copy !req
34. - So, what you laughing at?Copy !req
35. All pushcarts

36. - Ready, little man?
- Ready, big man.Copy !req
37. Kiss the lucky egg.Copy !req

65. - You caught me.Copy !req
66. - You have papers to grade.
- I'm just getting in one last run.Copy !req
67. Mm-hmm.Copy !req
68. Can't believe the trials
are finally here.Copy !req
69. - You nervous?
- I'm not nervous. I'm ready.Copy !req
70. I've been ready for this day
my whole life.Copy !req
71. I don't care how fast they run.
I'm gonna run faster.Copy !req
72. I don't care
how much they want it.Copy !req
73. I want it more.Copy !req
74. I'm goin' to the Olympics, baby.Copy !req
75. I feel it.
I'm gonna win the gold.Copy !req
76. Derice, are you nervous?Copy !req
77. - I'm terrified.Copy !req
78. It's my turn, Joy.
It's my turn.Copy !req
79. MAN ON P.A.: Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to the final event...Copy !req
80. of today's Olympic tryouts.Copy !req
81. We have now come
to the main event of our games,Copy !req
82. the running
of the 100-meter finals.Copy !req
83. We've had a most
successful afternoon...Copy !req
84. and I'd like to congratulate
all of the athletes...Copy !req
85. who have participated
in today's events.Copy !req
86. - You sure no one can beat him?
- Oh, sure, I'm sure.Copy !req
87. I'm just a little concerned
about that big baldy.Copy !req
88. Let me first congratulate our athletes
on a splendid performance.Copy !req
89. And let me remind them that
only the top four finishers...Copy !req
90. will earn the right
to represent Jamaica...Copy !req
91. in the forthcoming
summer games in Seoul, Korea.Copy !req
92. - W-Wait. You're Derice Bannock, right?
- That's me.Copy !req
93. Oh. I hope I make the team.Copy !req
94. It would be a real honor
to run with you.Copy !req
95. - Good luck to you.
- Good luck to you.Copy !req
96. Derice Bannock.
Hey, good luck to you too.Copy !req
97. Runners, take your marks!Copy !req
98. Get set!Copy !req
99. Mr. Coolidge, please.
You have to run the race over.Copy !req
100. I'm sorry, Derice,
nothing can be done.Copy !req
101. But I was born
to compete in the Olympics.Copy !req
102. Then you're gonna have to work
on your boxing or your cycling.Copy !req
103. Those are the only other two sports
in which Jamaica competes.Copy !req
104. I am not a boxer.
I am a runner.Copy !req
105. And it wasn't fair.Copy !req
106. It rarely is, my boy. It rarely is.Copy !req
107. Well, poppa, what do I do now?Copy !req
108. Look, Derice.
Let it go, will you? Let it go.Copy !req
109. You will have
another chance in four years.Copy !req
110. Yeah.Copy !req
111. Mr. Coolidge, who's the other man
in the picture with my father?Copy !req
112. Irving Blitzer.
He's an American who lives here.Copy !req
113. Unless, of course,
he's been arrested or shot.Copy !req
114. - Excuse me?
- Well, he's a bookie now.Copy !req
115. Takes his bets in a small pool hall
just past Sandy Bay.Copy !req
116. Isn't that a gold medal
around his neck?Copy !req
117. Oh, yeah. That lunatic
was an Olympic bobsledder...Copy !req
118. who tried to get your father
to switch sports.Copy !req
119. He had some theory about using
track sprinters to push the bobsled.Copy !req
120. Some ridiculous thing like that.
Can you imagine,Copy !req
121. a Jamaican bobsledder?Copy !req
122. And you sure this man,
he lives on the island?Copy !req
123. Oh, yes.Copy !req
124. - Mr. Coolidge, thanks a lot.
- Good, Derice.Copy !req
125. - Oh. Could I borrow this picture?
- Bring it back.Copy !req
126. Yes. Thanks a lot, Mr. Coolidge.Copy !req
127. - Oh. Just one more thing.
- Hmm?Copy !req
128. What's a bobsled?Copy !req
129. That's a bobsled!Copy !req
130. Oh! So a bobsled is
a pushcart with no wheels.Copy !req
131. - That's what it looks like here.
- Let me see that.Copy !req
132. All right. "The key elements
for a successful sled team...Copy !req
133. are a steady driver and three strong
runners to push off down the ice."Copy !req
134. Ice!Copy !req
135. Ice!Copy !req
136. Well... it's kind of
a winter sport, you know.Copy !req
137. You mean winter as in ice?Copy !req
138. Maybe.Copy !req
139. You mean winter as in igloos
and Eskimos and penguins and ice?Copy !req
140. - Possibly.
- See ya.Copy !req
141. - Where you goin'?
- I'm gonna take a hot bath.Copy !req
142. I'm gettin' cold just thinkin'
about all this ice.Copy !req
143. No, man! You're gonna be
part of my bobsled team.Copy !req
144. What you need me for?Copy !req
145. Who... is the best
pushcart driver...Copy !req
146. - in all of Jamaica?
- You're lookin' at him!Copy !req
147. - Then you're gonna do it?
- No!Copy !req
148. Hey, man, you could be famous.Copy !req
149. You could have your picture
on a Wheaties box.Copy !req
150. But you said no, and that's all right
because I don't need ya.Copy !req
151. Everybody is gonna want to be
on my bobsled team.Copy !req
152. Look, star, let me tell you
a little somethin', all right?Copy !req
153. When you need something from me, you
don't have to hand me a bunch of lines.Copy !req
154. All you have to do is
look at me in the eye and say,Copy !req
155. "Sanka, you are my best friend.Copy !req
156. We've been through a whole heap together
and I really, really need you."Copy !req
157. Sanka, you're right.Copy !req
158. And you are my best friend. And we've
been through a whole lot together.Copy !req
159. - Heap. Heap.
- Sorry, man. A whole heap together.Copy !req
160. And I really, really need you.Copy !req
161. And I really, really need you.Copy !req
162. Forget it!Copy !req
163. - But you just said if I said that, man...
- All right, all right,Copy !req
164. all right.Copy !req
165. All right, man.Copy !req
166. So, let's talk
about this "billsled" team.Copy !req
167. No. Bobsled team.
- Whoever.Copy !req
168. Now about the Wheaties box.
I'm gonna be on it by myself, right?Copy !req
169. No, man, you're gonna
be on it with me.Copy !req
170. And down the stretch
they come! Tumbleweed is holding on...Copy !req
171. - as Captain Video...
- Yes, Tumbleweed!Copy !req
172. - is still running on the outside.
- Yes!Copy !req
173. - ... is dropping back
- Come on!Copy !req
174. - as Tumbleweed holds the rail.
- That's it!Copy !req
175. Good Tumbleweed!
Good Tumbleweed!Copy !req
176. - Tumbleweed is slowing!
- No, Tumbleweed, no! Bad Tumbleweed!Copy !req
177. What are you doin'?Copy !req
178. Tumbleweed can't hold it as he
gets pinned against the rail.Copy !req
179. Don't do that! Let him out!Copy !req
180. - Tumbleweed is...
- Don't!Copy !req
181. - running gamely, but Captain Video...
- I need this one!Copy !req
182. - is just a little bit too strong.
- Please! Come on!Copy !req
183. - Here they come! Yes!
- No!Copy !req
184. Tumbleweed can't hold it
as Captain Video takes charge.Copy !req
185. What?Copy !req
186. And it's Brewster finishing
in second. Susan's Pride...Copy !req
187. finishes third and Tumbleweed
is nowhere in sight.Copy !req
188. But my, oh, my, the odds-on favoriteCopy !req
189. showed his true colors
with that late stretch run.Copy !req
190. Uh-huh.Copy !req
191. Tumbleweed held on momentarily,
but realistically,Copy !req
192. only a fool would put
their money on Tumbleweed.Copy !req
193. - That horse had no chance whatsoev...
- Uh-huh! Uh-huh! Uh-huh!Copy !req
194. Uh-huh! Uh-huh!Copy !req
195. That guy won two gold medals?Copy !req
196. I think so.Copy !req
197. That's Tumbleweed gone.
Okay, next race.Copy !req
198. Excuse, me.
Are you Mr. Irving Blitzer?Copy !req
199. Well, that depends
on who's asking.Copy !req
200. My name is Derice Bannock.
This is my teammate, Sanka Coffie.Copy !req
201. Greetings, sled god.Copy !req
202. We were just wondering
if you'd be interested...Copy !req
203. in coaching the first
Jamaican bobsled team.Copy !req
204. Derice, remember the radio?
Radio?Copy !req
205. Stick. Shooting
with the stick. Let's go!Copy !req
206. Let's go, Derice!Copy !req
207. Come on, coach.Copy !req
208. Just help me get started.Copy !req
209. - Oh!
- Greetings, sled god.Copy !req
210. - Sorry to bother you, but...
- Get out!Copy !req
211. - you're the only one who can help us.
- Get out!Copy !req
212. - Go away.
- Okay.Copy !req
213. Nice to meet you!Copy !req
214. - Maybe today is a bad day.
- Yeah.Copy !req
215. I'll come back tomorrow.
And the next day.Copy !req
216. And the next day. And the next day.Copy !req
217. - No! Look, whatever your name is...
- Derice.Copy !req
218. All right, Derice. Let me lay out
some difficulties for you.Copy !req
219. Snow. You don't have any.
It's 900 degrees out there.Copy !req
220. Time. You don't have any.
The Olympics are in three months.Copy !req
221. And me. You don't have me.Copy !req
222. As far as I'm concerned, the sport
of bobsledding no longer exists.Copy !req
223. I don't want to do it,
I don't want to coach it,Copy !req
224. and most of all,
and I mean most of all,Copy !req
225. I don't want to be within
2,000 miles of anyone who does.Copy !req
226. Now, did you follow all that?Copy !req
227. Then how come you still have
that poster on the wall?Copy !req
228. Is that what's bothering you?Copy !req
229. There. Is that better?
Are you happy?Copy !req
230. Like I said...
my name is Derice Bannock.Copy !req
231. I'm Ben Bannock's son.Copy !req
232. I haven't seen this picture
in 20 years.Copy !req
233. Huh. Would you look at me then?Copy !req
234. Whoo. Would you look at me now.Copy !req
235. Please, Mr. Blitzer,
just give me a chance.Copy !req
236. If I don't have what it takes,
we'll forget the whole thing.Copy !req
237. Believe me, kid,
you do not have what it takes.Copy !req
238. - But you thought my father did.
- Your father was one of...Copy !req
239. the toughest competitors I ever saw.Copy !req
240. He ran the 100 meters in ten-flat.Copy !req
241. Well, I run it in nine-nine.Copy !req
242. Come on. Coach me.Copy !req
243. Sorry.
You're a couple decades late.Copy !req
244. Oh, I see. It might be easy
for you to walk away from me,Copy !req
245. Mr. Blitzer, but you can't
walk away from this:Copy !req
246. Twenty years ago
you came down here to see...Copy !req
247. if you could make a Jamaican sprinter
into a bobsledder,Copy !req
248. and you never got that chance.Copy !req
249. Look at me, Mr. Blitzer.
I'm your chance.Copy !req
250. Take it.Copy !req
251. All right.
Everyone quiet down.Copy !req
252. Nice group here.
Now, for two of you lucky people,Copy !req
253. our trip to the Olympics
starts right now.Copy !req
254. And I want to introduce you...
to Mr. Irving Blitzer...Copy !req
255. who's going to be
our expert bobsled coach.Copy !req
256. Sanka. Hit it, man.Copy !req
257. You're on the air, sled god.Copy !req
258. Gentlemen, a bobsled
is a simple thing.Copy !req
259. Yeah, so's a toilet!Copy !req
260. Thank you. Thank you very much.
Basically, what you're looking to do...Copy !req
261. is get your sorry rear ends from the top
of an icy chute to the bottom.Copy !req
262. You're ziggin', you're zaggin'.Copy !req
263. It's the biggest, coldest
roller coaster you've ever been on.Copy !req
264. Ice.Copy !req
265. Oooh. Ooh.Copy !req
266. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.Copy !req
267. I almost forgot, uh...Copy !req
268. One minor drawback
to this delightful winter sport...Copy !req
269. is the high-speed crash.Copy !req
270. That hurt. Ah.Copy !req
271. Always remember, your bones
will not break in a bobsled.Copy !req
272. No, no. They shatter.Copy !req
273. Eee!Copy !req
274. So... who wants in?Copy !req
275. Look. Baldy's here.Copy !req
276. Glad you could make it, man.Copy !req
277. - Don't touch me!
- No problem.Copy !req
278. - So what's your name?
- Yul Brenner.Copy !req
279. Well, it's good to have you
as a teammate, Brenner.Copy !req
280. Let's get one thing straight,
Bannock.Copy !req
281. We may be on the same team,
but I am no one's teammate.Copy !req
282. - Long as you come here to bobsled...
- Hey, listen, man,Copy !req
283. the only reason why I come here...Copy !req
284. is to get off
of this stinkin' island.Copy !req
285. If I have to take one of those bobsleds
to do it, then all right.Copy !req
286. - No problem.
Ah, yes.Copy !req
287. Yes, I have a problem. There's
no such thing as a three-man sled.Copy !req
288. You're one Jamaican short.Copy !req
289. Hey.Copy !req
290. The meeting start yet?Copy !req
291. Uh-oh.Copy !req
292. You! I'll kill you.Copy !req
293. Wait! Hold on!
- College boy, I'll kill you!Copy !req
294. Hey, think, man, think!
Easy! Whoa! Down, boy!Copy !req
295. Kill him
and we don't have a team.Copy !req
296. I'm not ridin'
in the same sled as that.Copy !req
297. He tripped me too, you know.
But in case you haven't noticed,Copy !req
298. there's no one else here.Copy !req
299. - You're crowdin' me, slinky head.Copy !req
300. Slinky head.
That's a good one.Copy !req
301. - What are you laughing about?
- Nothing.Copy !req
302. If it wasn't for you, rich boy,
I'd be in the Olympics right now.Copy !req
303. I don't know what you all are arguing
about 'cause Derice was gonna...Copy !req
304. - beat both of your butts anyway.
- What are you talkin' about?Copy !req
305. - How 'bout I beat your butt right now?
- How 'bout I draw a line...Copy !req
306. down the middle of your head
so it looks like a butt?Copy !req
307. Forget it, man, I'm gone.Copy !req
308. Fine. Stay here on the island.Copy !req
309. We're going to Canada.Copy !req
310. All right. I'll do it.Copy !req
311. But you better tell
this mama's boy...Copy !req
312. to stay the hell away from me.Copy !req
313. You understand?Copy !req
314. No problem.Copy !req
315. Hey, Irv.
Say hello to the first...Copy !req
316. Jamaican bobsled team.Copy !req
317. Oh, goody.Copy !req
318. Gentlemen,
this... is a bobsled.Copy !req
319. Sort of.Copy !req
320. All right, here's what
we're gonna do. Yul...Copy !req
321. Don't touch me.Copy !req
322. Of course. Sorry. You're
gonna be the second middleman.Copy !req
323. You're strong, you're fast
and you're gonna love that seat.Copy !req
324. Junior,
you're the first middleman.Copy !req
325. You're quick, you're sharp.
Hop in. Sanka.Copy !req
326. - I know. I'm the driver, right?
- No, you're the brakeman.Copy !req
327. - No, no, I'm the driver.
- No, you're not. You're the brakeman.Copy !req
328. - I'm the driver.
- You're not. You're the brakeman.Copy !req
329. You don't understand.
I am Sanka Coffie.Copy !req
330. I'm the best pushcart driver
in all of Jamaica.Copy !req
331. I must drive.
Do you dig where I'm coming from?Copy !req
332. - Yeah, I dig where you're coming from.
- Good.Copy !req
333. Now dig where I'm coming from.
I'm coming from two gold medals.Copy !req
334. I'm coming from nine world records
in both the two and four-man events.Copy !req
335. I'm coming from ten years
of intense competition...Copy !req
336. with the best athletes
in the world.Copy !req
337. That's a hell of a place
to be comin' from.Copy !req
338. You see, Sanka, the driver
has to work harder than anyone.Copy !req
339. He's the first to show up
and the last to leave.Copy !req
340. When his teammates
are all out drinkin' beer,Copy !req
341. he's up in his room
studying pictures of turns.Copy !req
342. You see, a driver must remain
focused 100% at all times.Copy !req
343. Not only is he responsible for knowing
every inch of every course he races,Copy !req
344. he's also responsible for the lives
of the other three people in his sled.Copy !req
345. Now, do you want
that responsibility?Copy !req
346. I say we make Derice
the driver.Copy !req
347. So do I, Sanka. So do I.Copy !req
348. Oh. The back is nice.Copy !req
349. All right, Father, listen here.Copy !req
350. Ya see, I've made up my mind.
I am going to be a bobsledder.Copy !req
351. That's right. A bobsledder.Copy !req
352. - Oh, really?Copy !req
353. - Well, I'm sorry you feel that way.Copy !req
354. Fine. Cut off my allowance,
because you see, Father,Copy !req
355. a man has got to do
what a man has got to do.Copy !req
356. - Just who I want to see.
- M-M-Me?Copy !req
357. - You know where I just came from?
- W-Where?Copy !req
358. I got you a job.
With Webster, Webster and Cohen,Copy !req
359. the biggest brokerage house in Miami.Copy !req
360. Oh, right.
Webster, Webster and Cohen.Copy !req
361. That's right.
And you start end of the month.Copy !req
362. - Yes, but I thought that I would...
- Look.Copy !req
363. We went along with
this track nonsense long enough.Copy !req
364. And we agreed that it's time
to get on with your real future.Copy !req
365. Right?Copy !req
366. - I know...

719. You and your stupid friend,
playing like you are bobsledders, ja.Copy !req
720. Why don't you tourists go back
to where it is you came from...Copy !req
721. and leave the bobsledding
to the real men.Copy !req
722. Well, um, I'm a real man.Copy !req
723. You want to say something, Jamaica?
Come on out with it.Copy !req
724. Come here, man. Out. Right now!Copy !req
725. Now, look in the mirror
and tell me what you see.Copy !req
726. - I see Junior.
- You see Junior.Copy !req
727. Well, you wanna know
what I see?Copy !req
728. I see pride. I see power!Copy !req
729. I see a badass mother who don't
take no crap off nobody!Copy !req
730. - You really see all that?
- Yeah, man.Copy !req
731. But it's not about what I see.Copy !req
732. It's about what you see.Copy !req
733. Now look in this mirror
and tell me again what you see.Copy !req
734. - Pride!
- Pride! Right.Copy !req
735. - Power!
- Power.Copy !req
736. - And I see...
- A badass mother...Copy !req
737. - who don't take no...
- Who won't take no crap off of nobody!Copy !req
738. - Again! Can't hear you!
- I see pride!Copy !req
739. I see power! I see a badass mother
who won't take no crap off of nobody!Copy !req
740. - Once again! Junior!
- I see pride!Copy !req
741. I see power! I see a badass mother
who won't take no crap off of nobody!Copy !req
742. - That's right!
- That's right! Junior Bevil!Copy !req
743. Where ya... Where he going?Copy !req
744. Pride. Power. Pride.Copy !req
745. Now you listen to me, buddy.
I will not be talked to that way,Copy !req
746. so you better come up with
a damn good apology... or else.Copy !req
747. - Or else what?
- Ow!Copy !req
748. Eh, Jamaica?Copy !req
749. - Or else what?
- Whoa!Copy !req
750. Come on, Jamaica.
Say something.Copy !req
751. No problem, man.Copy !req
752. Excuse me, missy!Copy !req
753. Yippee-ki-yooo!Copy !req
754. Oh, come on, that hurt.
Let me go. Oh-oh.Copy !req
755. - I can't believe this.Copy !req
756. I just can't believe this.Copy !req
757. Didn't one of you have the sense
to know better? Go on, laugh.Copy !req
758. I wanna see who's laughing
when Irv gets here.Copy !req
759. Now, wait, wait.Copy !req
760. When that East German fellow
go out and push my teammate,Copy !req
761. and blood fire,
we have to fight back.Copy !req
762. You don't see the Swiss team
fightin', do you?Copy !req
763. You don't see the Swiss team
drinkin' and carryin' on and such.Copy !req
764. And you don't see the Swiss team
smilin' neither.Copy !req
765. In fact, if one of those Swiss boys
ever come across a pretty girl,Copy !req
766. he probably yell,
"Eins, zwei, drei, "Copy !req
767. and try to push her down some ice.Copy !req
768. - What happened?
- Oh, I took care of the whole thing.Copy !req
769. I told the owner of the bar
these guys were...Copy !req
770. mentally disturbed, so he's
not gonna press any charges.Copy !req
771. All right,
sled god does it again.Copy !req
772. Just shut up, Sanka.Copy !req
773. Now maybe you haven't noticed,Copy !req
774. but we aren't exactly winning
any popularity contests here.Copy !req
775. They hate me, they hate you,
they hate us.Copy !req
776. Now, if we're even gonna
think about qualifying,Copy !req
777. we're each gonna have to sit down
and take a nice, deep look inside.Copy !req
778. I didn't come all this way
to get my butt whipped.Copy !req
779. As a matter of fact,
now that I'm here,Copy !req
780. I thought I'd do
a little whipping of my own.Copy !req
781. Good night, gentlemen.Copy !req
782. - Aaah!Copy !req
783. - Rise and shine.
- It's butt-whipping time.Copy !req
784. Not bad. Pick it up though.Copy !req
785. Come on, come on, come on, come on!
Now, now, now, now!Copy !req
786. Good.Copy !req
787. That's it.Copy !req
788. Five more. Come on, five more.Copy !req
789. Push it, push it, come on.Copy !req
790. That's it, that's it.Copy !req
791. That's it. Good, good.Copy !req
792. Good. You're doin' fine.Copy !req
793. You got any more?Copy !req
794. Come on, come on. Get in!Copy !req
795. Oh! Hey!Copy !req
796. Go, go, go, go. That's it.Copy !req
797. That's it.Copy !req
798. Gotta grip with your toes!Copy !req
799. Go, go, go!Copy !req
800. Now, now!Copy !req
801. You're gonna have to do this
on your own one day.Copy !req
802. Go, go, go, go, go!
Now, now, now, now, now!Copy !req
803. - Straight. Right.
Turn six.Copy !req
804. Turn seven. Turn eight.
- Straight. Right.Copy !req
805. That's it, that's it!Copy !req
806. Okay, guys,Copy !req
807. tonight's the night.Copy !req
808. Now, in a few minutes,
you're gonna get a chance...Copy !req
809. to do something that no one
in your country has ever done.Copy !req
810. I was gonna save this for the Olympics,
but I figure if we're...Copy !req
811. going to convince these judges
that we are world-class sledders,Copy !req
812. then we had better look
like world-class sledders.Copy !req
813. - Oh, man, yes.
- Oh, man. Nice.Copy !req
814. I freeze in this.Copy !req
815. MAN ON P.A.: On the track.Copy !req
816. Hello, gentlemen.Copy !req
817. Irv, this is Karl Shindler.
He'll be watching the middle track.Copy !req
818. How do you do?Copy !req
819. And this is August Gremmer.Copy !req
820. - He'll be judging the push starts.
Hi.Copy !req
821. I'm your third official
up in the tower.Copy !req
822. You? What happened
to Kroychzech?Copy !req
823. He came down sick this morning.
I'm taking his place.Copy !req
824. Oh, goody.Copy !req
825. Oh. The Alliance has decided
to change the qualifying time...Copy !req
826. from a minute-two
to a minute-flat.Copy !req
827. Is that clear?Copy !req
828. No problem, man.Copy !req
829. Go get 'em, kid.Copy !req
830. MAN ON P.A.:
Track is clear for Jamaica One.Copy !req
831. Eins... zwei... drei.Copy !req
832. Go, go, go!
Now, now, now, now!Copy !req
833. - All right, what was that time?
- 6.13Copy !req
834. Under 60. Is it under 60?Copy !req
835. - Yes! Derice... Bannock!Copy !req
836. Whoo-hoo, 59 points!Copy !req
837. Oh. I'm, uh, I'm sorry.
I'm outta here. That's terrific.Copy !req
838. Derice!Copy !req
839. Ah, it was great.Copy !req
840. They couldn't beat us.
I know we were the best.Copy !req
841. inspired you guys, that's all.Copy !req
842. Nobody had that much fun
in a sled since Santa Claus.Copy !req
843. Fellas, here's
to followin' your dreams.Copy !req
844. - Yeah, man.
Followin' your dreams.Copy !req
845. I said it to your father the first time
I met him, and I'll say it again.Copy !req
846. - Sprinters make the best bobsledders.
- Here's to sprinting.Copy !req
847. So, what are we gonna
name the sled?Copy !req
848. How about "Tallulah"?Copy !req
849. Tallulah.Copy !req
850. Tallulah.Copy !req
851. Sounds like a two-dollar hooker.
How you come up with that?Copy !req
852. Hey, you idiot,
that's my mother's name.Copy !req
853. - It's a pretty name.
- Tallulah. I like that.Copy !req
854. So, what's it gonna be, star?Copy !req
855. What are the people gonna be screamin'
when Jamaica takes the hill?Copy !req
856. I say we call it "Cool runnings."Copy !req
857. Beautiful.
- I like it.Copy !req
858. - It's very strong.
- Nice. Very nice.Copy !req
859. Uh, what exactly does it mean?Copy !req
860. "Cool runnings" means
"Peace be the journey."Copy !req
861. Peace be the journey.Copy !req
862. - Cool runnings.
Cool runnings.Copy !req
863. - Excuse me.
- To the man in the orange suit!Copy !req
864. To the messenger!
To the messenger.Copy !req
865. We are officially...Copy !req
866. disqualified.Copy !req
867. Excuse me, gentlemen.Copy !req
868. Kurt, I really
have to talk to you.Copy !req
869. Excuse me, Irv.
I've nothing to say to you.Copy !req
870. Yes, you do. I want to know
why you disqualified my guys.Copy !req
871. As you were told, your team must competeCopy !req
872. in an international race to qualify
for the Olympics.Copy !req
873. But in an Olympic year, the qualifiers
count as an international race.Copy !req
874. That may have been true
in past Olympic years,Copy !req
875. but this year the Alliance
decided to change its policy.Copy !req
876. Oh, please. Change its policy?Copy !req
877. The Alliance has the right to do
whatever they feel is in the...Copy !req
878. best interest of the sport.Copy !req
879. We must also be concerned about
the potential for embarrassment.Copy !req
880. Oh, forgive me.Copy !req
881. I didn't realize that four black guys
in a bobsled could make you blush.Copy !req
882. I think we've heard enough.Copy !req
883. Come on, Kurt. What you're doin'
is wrong and you know it.Copy !req
884. Now, if this is about you and me,
then let's get it straight right now.Copy !req
885. All right, 16 years ago,
I made the biggest mistake of my life.Copy !req
886. I cheated. I was stupid.Copy !req
887. I embarrassed myself,
my family,Copy !req
888. my teammates, my country
and my coach.Copy !req
889. If it's revenge you want, take it.Copy !req
890. Go ahead.
Disqualify me, banish me.Copy !req
891. Do whatever you want,
but do it to me.Copy !req
892. It was me who let you down, Kurt.
It wasn't my guys.Copy !req
893. They've done everything
you've asked of them.Copy !req
894. And they did it with all of you
laughing in their face.Copy !req
895. Hell, it doesn't matter
if they come in first or 50th.Copy !req
896. Those guys have earned the right
to represent their country.Copy !req
897. They've earned the right
to march into that stadiumCopy !req
898. and wave their nation's flag.Copy !req
899. That's the single greatest honor
an athlete could ever have.Copy !req
900. That's what the Olympics
are about.Copy !req
901. Sixteen years ago,
I forgot that.Copy !req
902. Don't you go and do the same.Copy !req
903. I'm sorry
if I interrupted your meeting.Copy !req
904. Hello?Copy !req
905. Yes.Copy !req
906. Yeah.Copy !req
907. Right. Good-bye.Copy !req
908. What?Copy !req
909. Oh, it's the Alliance. God.Copy !req
910. What did they say?Copy !req
911. Aw, they said we're back in.Copy !req
912. Yes! Yes, yes!Copy !req
913. And a lot
is expected of the Italian team.Copy !req
914. Did I miss it? Did I miss it?Copy !req
915. No, child,
you didn't miss a thing.Copy !req
916. Jamaica
made it all the way here to CalgaryCopy !req
917. to compete in the bobsled event.Copy !req
918. Their flag bearer is
the sled captain Derice Bannock.Copy !req
919. Derice's father, Ben Bannock,
was a gold medalist in the 200 meters...Copy !req
920. at the Summer Olympic Games
over 20 years ago.Copy !req
921. And perhaps there's gold
in two generations of this family.Copy !req
922. That's quite a story.
The Jamaican bobsled team.Copy !req
923. It's a beautiful afternoon in Calgary,
and there is a lot more coming up.Copy !req
924. So stay tuned for more exciting coverage
of the opening ceremonies...Copy !req
925. of the 15th Winter Olympiad
from Calgary, Alberta, Canada.Copy !req
926. Gentlemen, let's go check
into our new home. Come on, Junior.Copy !req
927. Junior! Hey!Copy !req
928. Junior!Copy !req
929. Now, a lot of coaches
would be giving you...Copy !req
930. one of those "Win one for the Gipper"
speeches.Copy !req
931. I'm not good at that stuff.
Instead, I thought I'd, uh,Copy !req
932. lead you in a psalm
of inspiration.Copy !req
933. Let's bow our heads.Copy !req
934. - Who's the "Gipper"?
- Shh.Copy !req
935. Our Father who art in Calgary,
bobsled be Thy name.Copy !req
936. Thy kingdom come,
gold medals won...Copy !req
937. - on Earth as it is in turn seven.Copy !req
938. With liberty and justice
for Jamaica and Haile Selassie.Copy !req
939. - Amen.
- All right.Copy !req
940. - Respect.Copy !req
941. - All right.
- Jah Rastafari.Copy !req
942. Junior?Copy !req
943. Now, you listen to me, boy.Copy !req
944. You might not have done
what you were asked,Copy !req
945. but you will do
what you're told.Copy !req
946. - You're coming home.
- But, Father, you know I just want...Copy !req
947. But nothing.Copy !req
948. I didn't send you to the finest school...Copy !req
949. for you to go around
sliding on your backside.Copy !req
950. - You must be mad.
- Yeah, but the team needs me.Copy !req
951. - I don't want to hear any more about it.Copy !req
952. Go and get your things.Copy !req
953. I'll wait in the lobby.Copy !req
954. - Pride. Power.Copy !req
955. Father, when you look at me,
what do you see?Copy !req
956. - I don't have time for games, Junior.
- Tell me what you see, please!Copy !req
957. All right, I'll tell you what I see.Copy !req
958. I see a lost little boy...Copy !req
959. who's lucky to have a father
who knows what's best for him.Copy !req
960. No, no, no, no, you don't know
what's best for me, Father.Copy !req
961. I am not a lost little boy,
Father.Copy !req
962. I am a man.
And I'm an Olympian.Copy !req
963. I'm stayin' right here.Copy !req
964. Hey, Junior Bevil.Copy !req
965. You're a badass mother.Copy !req
966. - Here, I got a couple.
- I like this one, yes.Copy !req
967. Oh, Canada, indeed. This is Al Trautwig
along with John Morgan.Copy !req
968. We're live at Olympic Park,
the brand-new bobsledding venue...Copy !req
969. just a few miles outside
of downtown Calgary.Copy !req
970. - Everybody, shut up. It's starting.
- ... extremely intense,Copy !req
971. exciting competition
for the next three days.Copy !req
972. I am feeling very Olympic today.
How about you?Copy !req
973. This sport, as we
well know, is made up of athletes...Copy !req
974. who go to the edge and sometimes beyond,
and it is why we believe...Copy !req
975. the next three days is going to be
extremely competitive and exciting.Copy !req
976. And already, John, on day one,Copy !req
977. we're starting things off
with a gold medal favorite.Copy !req
978. Well, the Swiss were fortunate enough
to draw number one in the competition.Copy !req
979. We gotta make them the odds-on favorite
to win the gold.Copy !req
980. But the East Germans, they're coming off
the gold medal win in 1984.Copy !req
981. The Canadians, it's their home track.
You gotta favor them, too.Copy !req
982. And they've been doin'
very well in practice all week.Copy !req
983. - Eins, zwei, drei.
- Eins, zwei, drei.Copy !req
984. One, two, three, go!Copy !req
985. Eighty miles an hour
or close to it.Copy !req
986. You know, Al, I'm looking
at the times here,Copy !req
987. and the course is gettin' extremely fast.Copy !req
988. I was worried about
the Austrian team's safetyCopy !req
989. in that last big 180 degree whip-aroundCopy !req
990. that draws four G's of force
on the athletes.Copy !req
991. Well, if you were worried about them,Copy !req
992. what are you thinking
about our last and next team?Copy !req
993. Yes, it certainly seems strange that
surrounded by the ice and snow of Calgary,Copy !req
994. we are about to watch a team
from the tiny island of Jamaica.Copy !req
995. - Yeah, from Jamaica!Copy !req
996. Quite a story for them to even get here.
They came out of nowhere.Copy !req
997. And you know, there's a lot of teams
up here on top of the hill...Copy !req
998. that sort of feel that Jamaicans
don't belong here.Copy !req
999. - Hey! Hey! What are you doin'?
Hey, what are you doin', man?Copy !req
1000. That's what the Swiss do
to psyche themselves up.Copy !req
1001. They also make them little pocketknives,
too, but I don't see you doin' that.Copy !req
1002. All right, guys, we're up. Come on. Hey,
knock it off. Knock it off, will ya?Copy !req
1003. Okay, let's go. Come on.
Get in your start positions.Copy !req
1004. Remember, we don't have
to win the gold in the first day.Copy !req
1005. It's just like any other run.Copy !req
1006. Except this time,
100 million people watchin'.Copy !req
1007. Derice, did you forget
something? Thank you.Copy !req
1008. - Ready.
- Ready.Copy !req
1009. Ready.
Ready.Copy !req
1010. Eins... zwei...Copy !req
1011. drei.Copy !req
1012. Go! Go, go, go! Go! Go!Copy !req
1013. - Get in! Get in!Copy !req
1014. AL: The Jamaican team attempts
its first ever Winter Olympic event.Copy !req
1015. And look at this.
They've got to get into that sled.Copy !req
1016. I've never seen anything like this. I know
it's not funny, but how embarrassing.Copy !req
1017. Thank goodness. For a minute, I didn't
think they'd ever get all four of them in.Copy !req
1018. And that could have been
a disaster.Copy !req
1019. Well, most importantly
here, when you do get in the sled,Copy !req
1020. you have to get in with catlike
movements; you need to get relaxed.Copy !req
1021. Look at the high line in Omega! He bounces
off the wall, ricochets like a pinball.Copy !req
1022. The driver here, Derice Bannock, looks
like the sled's really drivin' him.Copy !req
1023. - That fool better watch his mouth.
- He better watch more than that.Copy !req
1024. This is the time when this team
may be thinking,Copy !req
1025. "This may not have been
such a great idea."Copy !req
1026. Their heads are bouncing around.
This is amazing.Copy !req
1027. Like rag dolls as they
come through the finish...Copy !req
1028. at a time of 58.04,Copy !req
1029. which will be good enough
for last place.Copy !req
1030. You choked. It was yours
for the taking and you choked.Copy !req
1031. You were ready and you choked.Copy !req
1032. Well, maybe we should
go over the turns again?Copy !req
1033. You know the turns. You know everything
there is to know about this sport.Copy !req
1034. I'll tell you something.Copy !req
1035. You had all better figure out
how to stay loose out there.Copy !req
1036. That's something
I can't help you with.Copy !req
1037. I'll see you tomorrow
on the hill.Copy !req
1038. You know...Copy !req
1039. - when the Swiss want to get relaxed...Copy !req
1040. Oh, will you shut up
about the damn Swiss?Copy !req
1041. I mean, it was all that "eins,
zwei, drei" nonsenseCopy !req
1042. that got us all nervous
in the first place.Copy !req
1043. Hey, man, look here. I'm just tryin'
to get us off on the right foot.Copy !req
1044. Well, the right foot for us is not
the Swiss foot. I mean, come on, Derice.Copy !req
1045. We can't be copyin' nobody else's style.
We have our own style.Copy !req
1046. Kissin' an egg is no kind of style.Copy !req
1047. This is the Olympics here.
It's no stupid pushcart derby.Copy !req
1048. Let me tell ya somethin', Rasta.Copy !req
1049. I didn't come up here to forget
who I am and where I come from.Copy !req
1050. And neither did I.
I'm just tryin' to be the best I can be.Copy !req
1051. So am I. And the best
I can be is Jamaican.Copy !req
1052. Look.Copy !req
1053. Derice, I've known you since Julie
Jeffries asked to see your ding-a-ling.Copy !req
1054. And I'm tellin' you
as a friend...Copy !req
1055. if we look Jamaican,
walk Jamaican,Copy !req
1056. talk Jamaican and is Jamaican,Copy !req
1057. then we sure as hell
better bobsled Jamaican.Copy !req
1058. Greetings from Jamaica.Copy !req
1059. - Thank you.
- ♪ Yul Brenner and the man SankaCopy !req
1060. - All right, gentlemen, this is it.
Respect.Copy !req
1061. - All right.
- Whoo, let's go!Copy !req
1062. AL: We now come to the second chance
for the four intrepid men from Jamaica.Copy !req
1063. What do they have to do, John?Copy !req
1064. In reality, Al,
I don't think the JamaicansCopy !req
1065. have any chance of winning a medal.Copy !req
1066. Dear God, just let them
be better than yesterday.Copy !req
1067. Ready?
Ready.Copy !req
1068. Feel the rhythm, feel the rhyme,Copy !req
1069. get on up, it's bobsled time!Copy !req
1070. - Cool runnings!Copy !req
1071. MAN ON P.A.: On the track.Copy !req
1072. That's a hair faster
than the Swiss.Copy !req
1073. That's a real big difference
from yesterday.Copy !req
1074. AL: This is an absolute shock
in the making.Copy !req
1075. Yesterday, they were falling down
at the start.Copy !req
1076. - Now they slide into place.Copy !req
1077. Yesterday, their heads
were bobbing everywhere.Copy !req
