Cool Runnings - A Father's Ultimatum to His Son
Whitby Bevil Sr:
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–
Whitby:
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-
Whitby: [Elevator door opens; Junior Bevil stands aside to usher his father into the elevator]
I don't want to hear any more about it. Go and get your things. I'll wait in the lobby.
Junior: [Murmurs; Stops elevator]
Pride, Power... Father, when you look at me, what do you see?
Whitby:
I don't have time for games, Junior.
Junior:
Tell me what you see, please!
Whitby:
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: [Stops elevator again; Elevator door closes with a sad Whitby Sr inside]
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: [having seen the exchange]
Hey, Junior Bevil. You're a bad-ass mother.
