• Yul Brenner : Look in the mirror, and tell me what you see!

  Junior Bevill : I see Junior.

  Yul Brenner : You see Junior? Well, let me tell you what I see. I see pride! I see power! I see a bad-ass mother who don't take no crap off of nobody!

• Sanka Coffie : So what are we gunna name the sled?

  Junior Bevill : How about "Tallulah?"

  Sanka Coffie : Tallulah! Hahaha! Tallulah! Sounds like a 2 dollar hooker! Where you come up with that?

  Junior Bevill : That's my mother's name.

• Yul Brenner : Say whatever it is that you want 'cause you're just like every other fool on the island. You're going nowhere, Sanka, and you're thrilled to death about it. But you see me? You see me? I'm different, 'cause 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.

  [Pulls out picture of Buckingham Palace] 

  Sanka Coffie : [laughing] 

  Yul Brenner : What are you laughing about? What are you laughing about?

  Sanka Coffie : That's Buckingham Palace. You plan on living there, you're going to have to marry the Queen.

  Junior Bevill : Yul, that's where the Queen of England lives.

  Sanka Coffie : Face it, Yul Brenner you can start calling yourself Madonna but you're still going to end up in an outhouse shanty like every other dock working nobody.

  Junior Bevill : Mm, says who?

  Sanka Coffie : Says me, rich boy. What do you know about it?

  Junior Bevill : Well, I know my father started off in a one room hut. Now he lives in one of the biggest homes in Kingston.

  Sanka Coffie : Well, he ain't your father.

  Junior Bevill : He doesn't have to be. All he has to do is know what he wants and work hard for it. And if he wants it bad enough, he'll get it. Look, believe me, Sanka the more Yul Brenners we got making it in this world the better off this world will be, especially for Jamaicans. Go ahead, Yul Brenner. Go get your palace.

  Junior Bevill : Tell me what you see, please!

  Whitby Bevil - Sr. : 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 Bevill : 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.

  Yul Brenner : [watching]  Junior Bevil. You bad-ass mother.

• [Junior marches up to Josef Grul and spins him around] 

  Junior Bevill : Now, you look! I will not be talked to that way! So you'd better come up with a damn good apology or else!
