History Funny / CoolRunnings

* Yul says Sanka will be just another deadbeat in Jamaica while Yul will be famous and live in a fancy building from a postcard. Junior laughs and replies that it's the White House, "if you plan on livin' there, you gonna have to evict the goddamn president." Yul is visibly embarrassed at his mistake.

-->'''Sanka Coffie''': You don't understand, I am Sanka Coffie, I am the best pushcart driver in all of Jamaica! ...I must drive! Do you dig where I'm coming from?

** Derice and Sanka then set up a "Kissing Booth" where women can pay a dollar to kiss them. Derice has a ''long'' line of women; Sanka doesn't. Then Derice's wife and her DeathGlare show up and drag Derice away, allowing Sanka to happily take over...and his smile collapses when the next woman in line is an old lady with no teeth, causing Sanka to break down in tears.

-->'''Irv''': Y'see, Sanka, the driver has to work harder than anyone. ''[[[MeaningfulLook continues talking to Sanka, but looks at Derrice]]['' He's the first to show up, and the last to leave. When his buddies are all out drinking beer, he's up in his room studying pictures of turns. Y'see, a driver must remain focused 100% at all times. Not only is he responsible for knowing every inch of every course he races, he's also responsible for the lives of the other three people in the sled. Now do you want that responsibility?

-->'''Sanka:''' You winter as in igloos and Eskimos and penguins and...''ice''?!

-->'''Sanka:''' 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.

-->'''Sanka:''' Let me see that. ''(reading)'' "The key elements to a successful sled team are a steady driver and three strong runners to push off down the ice..." ''Ice?!'' Ice?
-->'''Derrice:''' ''(shrugs)'' It's kind of a winter sport, you know.

-->'''Sanka:''' ''(drops the book)'' [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere See ya.]]

-->'''Sanka Coffie''': (''{{Beat}}'') That's a hell of a place to be coming from!
-->'''Irv''': Y'see, Sanka, the driver has to work harder than anyone. [''[[MeaningfulLook continues talking to Sanka, but looks at Derrice]]''] He's the first to show up, and the last to leave. When his buddies are all out drinking beer, he's up in his room studying pictures of turns. Y'see, a driver must remain focused 100% at all times. Not only is he responsible for knowing every inch of every course he races, he's also responsible for the lives of the other three people in the sled. Now do you want that responsibility?

-->'''Sanka:''' ''(raises a finger)'' Ah but you don't the Swiss team smiling, neither. In fact, if one of those Swiss boys ever comes across a pretty girl he'd probably yell "eins, zwei, drei" and try to push her down some ice! ''(he, Junior and Yul collapse into giggles)''.
* The morning after he chews them out for getting into trouble in the bar brawl, saying that "I didn't come here to get my butt whipped, and maybe it's time I start doing a little whipping of my own!", Irv is shocked awake by an alarm clock being held next to his ear.

----> '''Irv:''' You know you're gonna have to do this on your own one day.

* Sanka knocks on the door of Yul and Junior's hotel room in a maid's hat complete with feather duster.
-->'''Sanka''': Maid service, sir! Would you like your bed turned down? Mint? Perhaps I can dust your head?
-->'''Yul''': Whatever is wrong with you is no little thing. ''(closes the door)''

* Sanka knocks on the door of Yul and Junior's hotel room in a maid outfit complete with feather duster.

--> '''Sanka''': OH DERICE, I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU!!!

-->'''[[BaldOfAwesome Yul]]:''' How 'bout I beat your butt right now?

* Fed-up with Josef Grool's taunts, Derice asks Irv what his problem is:

* The entire sequence of our boys arriving in the freezing Canadian weather, wearing light jackets and sweatshirts. Plenty fine for Jamaica where "cold" means about 20 degrees, but not for the Calgary blizzard they walk into. Their expressions of [[OhCrap pure shock]] just sells it.

* The entire sequence of our boys arriving in the freezing Canadian weather, wearing light jackets and sweatshirts. Plenty fine for Jamaica where "cold" means upper 60's (F), but not for the Calgary blizzard they walk into. Their expressions of [[OhCrap pure shock]] just sells it.

* The entire sequence of our boys arriving in the freezing Canadian weather, in beachwear. Their expressions of [[OhCrap pure shock]] just sells it.
** Not exactly beachwear - they are wearing light jackets and sweatshirts. In other words, clothing for "Jamaica cold". Plenty fine for a winter in Kingston (average January low temperature being 73 degrees Fahrenheit), but not for the Canadian blizzard they walk into.

-->'''Sanka:''' ''(reading)'' "The key elements to a successful sled team are a steady driver and three strong runners to push off down the ice..." ''Ice?!'' Ice?

-->'''Sanka:''' 'Ice?!' Ice!

-->'''Sanka:''' You mean winter as in ice?

-->'''Sanka:''' You winter as in igloos and eskimos and penguins and...ice?!
-->'''Derrice:''' Maybe.

* Irv getting ready to throw snowballs at the guys when they run past him. . .only to have them do exactly that to him.

-->'''Irv:''' Always remember: your bones will not break in a bobsled. No, no. They shatter.

-->'''Irv''': Y'see, Sanka, the driver has to work harder than anyone. [''[[MeaningfulLook continues talking to Sanka, but looks at Derrice]]''] He's the first to show up, and the last to leave.

-->'''Derice''': Sanka man, what's 'cha smokin'?
-->'''Sanka''': I'm not smokin', I'm ''breathin'!''

* Sanka, just Sanka in general, from turning up at a hotel room door wearing a maid's hat and brandishing a feather duster. To happily joining in a couples style Rodeo Dance ("howdy patna"), and later a bar room brawl, to kissing his "lucky egg".
** Sanka freezing in the ice cream truck's freezer, having one of his 'locks snap from brittleness, Sanka rushing back inside the airport to get dressed for the cold weather, Sanka not getting the chance to relieve himself before their turn.... Oh yeah!
** The aforementioned rodeo dance scene is funny enough when Sanka can barely keep up with the woman he's attempting to dance with... Then they cut back to him later in the same scene, and suddenly his steps are perfectly in time and he and his dance partner have swapped hats.

* "Will ya shut up about the damn Swiss?"

* When the team has their first run down an actual bobsled track, [[ScreamsLikeALittleGirl Sanka is screaming like a little girl]] the ''entire'' way.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZIt7Blx7zQ This scene.]]

*** Sanka, of course, can barely do one leg press without tiring and when attempting to do a pull-up he can barely get himself a few inches off the floor.
