Coming to America Edit

A big dog.

A big round of applause for Jackson Height's own

A man goes in to a restaurant. Are you listening?

A man goes into a restaurant. He sits down and has a bowl of soup.

A man has the right to change his name to whatever he wants to change it to.

A man's got a right to change his mind.

A man's got to put in overtime for me to get off.

A prince!

A prince. He's a prince!

A Queen to be forever

A thing that we have been denied for far too long.

A vision of perfection

A young man, that you all know as Joe the policeman

About this wedding ...

After the way you treated her, who could blame her?

Ah object of affection

Ain't nothing to do with your hair or your pocket.

Akeem came to America to ... sow his royal oats.

Akeem will not listen to me, he's gone quite mad.

Akeem, I want to show you the inside of McDowell's little castle.

Akeem, what happened to the rose bearers?

Akeem? Akeem.

Akeem. Come sit.

All I care about is you.

All the D.J. S want to feel my breasts

America is great indeed. A country so free, one can throw glass on the street.

And don't leave no streaks.

And don't pull that falling down the stairs shit on me. You're conscious.

And he helped Daniel get out of the lion's den.

And I want you to hold on to God's unchanging hand.

And if a man wants to be called Muhammad Ali,

And if loving the Lord is wrong, I don't want to be right.

And it's up to all of us to provide a place where children can express themselves.

And Lisa happily accepted.

And look what I have today.

And now you're a man who's about to be married.

And Reverend Brown.

And then I'm going to try an actress, 'cause people tell me I'm a natural

And we're not rich. We're ordinary African students.

And why are you so nice to Akeem all of a sudden?

And your friend, too.

And, Semmi, what is it now?

Anyone who throws roses at my son's feet will answer to me.

Anytime, Lisa McDowell.

Aoleon, please. It is out of our hands. The girl told him no.

Aoleon. Aeolon ...

Are you comfortable, Miss ... I'm not sure what to call you.

Are you going to say something?

Are you saying that no matter what I tell you to do, you will do?

As long as you're asking, why not go for a cool million?

As you know, Darryl and Lisa have been going together for quite some time.

At least give them the address.

At the rally, someone stuck a large amount of cash in one of the boxes.

Back to Queens.

Bark like a dog.

Be patient, my friend.

Beautiful, sexy ...

Because I want to be a pop singer, a rock singer, and write my own songs.

Behold, Semmi! Life. Real life.

Big Ed, my man!

Black Awareness Week is an opportunity for self expression.

Both the kids are here, together.

But baby, it's our engagement party.

But compared to Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano ain't shit!

But I always assumed you had sex with your bathers. I know I do.

But I don't think he's coming back, thanks to my African connections.

But I won't be pressured into marriage, not by Darryl, my father or anybody.

But I would like to know what you like. Do you have a favourite food?

But I'd like to cook for myself, dress myself, wipe my own backside.

But I've been watching you all evening, and I want to tear you apart.

But if there were no rose petals, I would still be the son of a king.

But if we're going to be married, we should talk and get to know each other.

But no one should marry out of obligation.

But over the years, I have grown to love your father very much.

But they can't make it. Only God above can make it for ya.

But they use a sesame seed bun. My buns have no seeds.

But to be truly, truly, truly, truly loved

But we'd rather get the kind that folds.

But what if I don't love her?

But when I look at these contestants for The Miss Black Awareness pageant,

But where in New York can one find a woman with grace and elegance?

But you are going to work today!

But you told me to come over.

But you'd rather have a woman who has an opinion?

But you're my lady. My lady doesn't have to work.

Can I get a "Amen"?

Champagne.

Champagne.

Cleo, I know you're proud of your daughters. We are, too.

Come in, have a seat, take a load off. Your son ought to be back in a minute.

Come in.

Come on in, gentlemen.

Come on! Stop stalling.

Come on. Don't stall me. All of it!

Come to my house and I'll fix you dinner. Patrice will be there.

Come with me, I've got an easy job for you.

Come. Let's go for a stroll.

Completely free from infection

Dad isn't using the tickets for the Jets game. I thought you might enjoy them.

Darryl You're looking sharp.

Darryl, come by the house tonight. About 9 p.m.

Darryl, what happened?

Darryl, your mother gets lovelier every time I see her.

Did you want ice in that?

Do not alert him to my presence. I shall deal with him myself.

Do you think, just once, I might use the bathroom by myself?

Do you want me to renounce my throne? I will.

Do you want to buy some toothbrushes?

Do you want to go to Queens? Rich fellows should be in Manhattan.

Do you want to live better? Fine. Fix this place up.

Does every woman in New York have a severe emotional problem?

Does this make you happy?

Don't be ashamed to call his name.

Don't stall me, fat boy. Let's go.

Don't use the bucket. It'll just confuse you.

Don't worry about it, we'll work something out.

Even if she said yes, they still couldn' marry. It's against the tradition.

Ever since I was born, I have been trained to serve you.

Every month, the same damn thing ...

Every time I talk about boxing, a white man pulls Rocky Marciano out his ass.

Everybody shut up and do what I say.

Everything's fine. Excuse me for a moment, please.

Excuse me for a moment, please.

Excuse me if I was brusque, but we get boo boos in here without a dollar.

Excuse me, Father. And Mother.

Excuse me, I have to tidy up.

Excuse me, I need to be alone.

Excuse me, Imani, for a moment.

Excuse me.

Excuse me. I'll be back in a minute.

Excuse us for a moment.

Fascinating! Semmi, look at this.

Father ...

Fine girl, isn't she? I told you not to worry.

Fine. But I have to warn you. My home is very poor.

For the rest of my life.

Frank said, "Joe Louis is 137 years old".

From the "What's Going Down" episode of "That's My Momma".

Fuck you, fuck you and fuck you! Who's next?

Fuck you!

Fulfil every erotic desire, and in 40 days, you will marry Imani.

Get in good with the father, you home free.

Get out of here, dog.

Get the hell out of here before I bust that camera!

Get your Royal Engagement T shirt! Step up and get your Royal T shirt!

Girls, you can leave now. Thank you very much.

Give a big round of applause to my band, Sexual Chocolate.

Goddamn! What the hell have you done in here?

Good morning, your Highness.

Good news, Akeem. We've been rescued.

Good! What is your favourite food?

Goodbye, Akeem.

Goodnight, sweet prince.

Got a bit of an insect problem, but you boys from Africa are used to that.

Great! Tell you what, I'll buy the groceries.

Greetings, great Prince. Presenting Miss Imani Issi.

Have a good day, my son.

Have a seat. Chair number two will be ready in a second.

He beat Joe Louis' ass.

He can buy her anything he wants. How are you going to compete with that?

He certainly is quiet this morning.

He helped Gilligan get off the island. Lord!

He looks sad.

He says to the waiter, "Come, taste the soup".

He was better than Clay, Sugar Ray and that new boy Mike Tyson.

He was better than him, too. He'd whip all their asses!

He went out. How was your flight? Comfortable, I trust.

He'll always be Clay to me. I don' care what he change his name to.

He's been my reverend since I was a little boy, and I love him dearly.

He's got a point. Cassius Clay was a bad motherfucker.

He's the Prince.

Heads, New York. Tails, Los Angeles.

Hello, Babar.

Hello, King. Cleo McDowell here.

Hello.

Here are the keys. It's apartment 1A. Downstairs. First floor.

Here we are.

Here you go, King. Try one of these pigs in a blanket.

Hey, Akeem. Did you have a good time at the game?

Hey, Akeem. We need some more champagne over here.

Hey, fellas. I'm real proud of the job you did in there today.

Hey, Randy! Good to see you. Watch out for this guy.

Hey, Stu. Your rent's due, motherfucker.

Hey! Be careful

Hi ...

Hi, Mike. Good to see you. Enjoy, drink up. Lots more where that came from.

Hippopotamus shit! You're the heir to the throne of Zamunda.

His Highness desires

His Highness must be very excited today.

His momma named him Clay. I'm going to call him Clay.

Hop on one leg.

How about a Mick Shake? I believe strawberry is your favourite.

How can a man get excited about a woman he's never seen?

How come she always gets the good ones?

I ain't heard no woman give no man no lovin' 'cause his hair looks good.

I ain't saying Clay ain't bad.

I almost forgot that I was here in a domestic capacity.

I am Akeem.

I bet where you're from, women throw themselves at your feet.

I bet you learnt all that stuff fighting lions and tigers and shit.

I came to America to find my bride. I came to Queens to find you.

I came to see Akeem.

I cannot believe it.

I did not mean to hurt you.

I didn't come here to preach to you today.

I do not care about my crown.

I don't care about that. I'd love to see where you live.

I don't give a damn who you are. This is America, Jack.

I don't know how it is in Africa, but here rich guys get all the chicks.

I don't know how old he was, but he got his ass whooped.

I don't know what you've come to do, but I've come to praise His name.

I don't know whether to shake your hand, kiss it or bow or what.

I don't like any sport where you don't use your hands.

I don't love her. Why do you think I came here?

I don't want you to have to struggle like your mother and I did.

I doubt we will ever find your queen.

I fall on the ground. I look up, and it's Martin Luther King.

I feel good, 'cause I know there's a God somewhere.

I feel like break dancing.

I feel like I owe you a favour.

I go to the University.

I got four tickets to the St. John's game. Maybe your sister can bring someone.

I had a cup of coffee in my hand. You understand, right?

I have a date with Lisa. Isn't that wonderful

I have come for my son Akeem.

I have yet to experience what the outside world has to offer.

I hope Darryl didn't offend you. He can be pretty obnoxious.

I hope you don't mind me coming over and sitting down.

I just put some delicious hors d'oeuvres in the oven ... son.

I know we never had a talk about this,

I know what I like, and you know what I like, 'cause you were trained to know,

I know, but I'd like to know about you. What do you like to do?

I know. Bye, Daddy.

I like the boy.

I like the fries better at McDonald's, but I'd never tell Mr McDowell that.

I like your hair, it's natural

I love it. It's nice to be with a man who knows how to express himself.

I love the Lord. Do you understand what I'm saying? I love the Lord.

I met him in 1962 in Memphis, Tennessee.

I must admit, I was frightened, too.

I only wish Mrs McDowell could have lived to see it.

I received your telegram. Where is Akeem?

I renounce my throne!

I said, "Dr King." He said, "Oops, I thought it was someone else."

I said, "You hang out with Joe Louis. How old is he?"

I see the two of you are getting along.

I should kill you! I'm supposed to be a poor man.

I started on clean up just like you guys, but now ...

I suppose nobody in here ever heard of Cassius Clay.

I suspect that these are the people that have stolen our luggage.

I think my sister likes you.

I think there is no rat.

I tied my own shoes once. It is an overrated experience.

I understand, but when I marry,

I understand. In my country they arrange marriages,

I walk round the corner, and a man hits me in the chest.

I want a woman who will arouse my intellect as well as my loins.

I want the woman to love me for who I am, not because of what I am.

I want to ask you something.

I want to talk to you, now!

I want you and that young man to tie that knot. I'll pray for you.

I want you to put your hands together and welcome him to the stage.

I wanted you to love me for who I am.

I warned you, didn't l? Dottie, get him!

I was Joan of Arc in my former life.

I was remarking to my mother the other day what lovely skin the Queen has.

I was so nervous, I became nauseous.

I will be fine by myself.

I will cherish this experience for the rest of my life.

I will get out here.

I will not say a word.

I wish more children would wear their hair natural, like Martin Luther King.

I'd better get dressed. Make yourself comfortable 'til the guests arrive.

I'll be right back.

I'll be with you in a minute.

I'll get it.

I'll get you some ... coffee.

I'll let you boys stay in my apartment and I'll move up here.

I'll tell you when the time is right, but now I must go.

I'm all for that. Especially with women.

I'm also a concerned dad.

I'm following the game quite well.

I'm into the group thing.

I'm King Jaffe Joffer, ruler of Zamunda.

I'm more than the exalted ruler of this land and master of all I survey.

I'm not interested in a man unless he drives a B.M.W.

I'm not interested in Patrice.

I'm not sure if I'm ready.

I'm pleased to announce that Darryl just popped the big question.

I'm sick of living like a peasant. Look at this filth.

I'm staying at the Waldorf Astoria. When you see him, call me.

I'm trying to gain the interest of a certain young lady.

I'm walking down the street minding my own business.

I've been placed in charge of garbage. Do you have any that needs disposal

I've got a secret.

I've got a special treat for you this evening.

I've got it.

I've got some real fly personal hygiene products, and a hair dryer.

I've just heard some news that makes me a very happy man.

I've never heard of that.

I've never seen anybody take so much pride in mopping a floor.

I've warned you. I'll be forced to thrash you.

If I wanted a wealthy guy, I'd be with Darryl

If you have no more money, you can cause no more mischief.

If you have ruined my chances with Lisa, I will never forgive you.

If you're going to hang out with me, you've got to loosen up.

If you're really a prince, I'll marry you.

If you're the prince, then who am l

In 20 or 30 years, with hard work, maybe you could have a place like this.

In a year or two, I'll make assistant manager

In his face! In his face!

It feels so lovely to be here tonight. Give yourselves a round of applause.

It is not just that, it is everything.

It is time to find your queen.

It just wouldn't work out, we're too different.

It must mean all of these things

It shouldn', but l ...

It was a ripping victory.

It was very nice meeting you, too. Excuse me.

It would be wise for you to put the weapon down.

It's a damn shame what they did to that dog.

It's a place over on Queens Boulevard. I think he works there.

It's a very small university. We don't even have a basketball team.

It's also tradition that times must change.

It's better if I take you home.

It's good we're rid of those things. Let them wear our princely robes.

It's my natural hair. I've been growing it since birth.

It's nice to meet you, Akeem.

It's normal to feel anxiety about meeting your queen.

It's not that. I feel like I'm rushing you.

It's not that. I'm 21 years old, and I have never left Zamunda.

Jaffe, it has been a year.

Joe Louis always lied about his age.

Joe Louis came out of retirement to fight Marciano. He was 76 years old.

Just leave me alone!

Just two years, huh?

King Jaffe Joffer's room, please.

King, I was wondering if ... Hello, King?

Larry Flint, Hugh Hefner ... They can take the picture,

Leave Sunday night open. I'm having a get together at my house.

Leave us.

Let me go see if they're ready.

Let me tell you something. Rocky Marciano was good,

Let them wait! I'm talking to my son.

Let's go to my house. I'd like to cook for you.

Let's have lunch.

Let's see if you can defend yourself, you sweat from a baboon's balls.

Lisa will be home by then.

Lisa, please.

Lisa, please. I love you.

Lisa, where are you going? I want you to meet the Queen.

Lisa, you did it this time. You hit the jackpot!

Lisa!

Lisa? There's someone here to see you.

Lisa's in the back. She's waiting for you. Come on.

Listen! Stop right there a minute.

Lonely hours and moments of despair

Look at it this way. At least we learned how to make French fries.

Look who's here! Akeem, it's good to see you.

Look who's here! Come in, come in.

Look, I'm sorry. I can'. Goodbye, Akeem.

Look, Zamunda! That's where you're from, isn't it?

Lord, Lord ...

Make a noise like an orang utan.

Make sure everybody's glass is kept full.

Make sure you keep all the glasses full.

Man cannot make it like this.

Marry me, Lisa.

May I have everyone's attention, please.

May I have your attention, please?

May I talk to you alone for a moment, please?

Maybe I've stayed with him because everyone expected me to.

Maybe we will have a chance to talk again on a professional level

Me and the McDonald's people, we've got this little misunderstanding.

Miss Lisa McDowell. Lisa, come up here, baby girl

Mortimer, we're back.

Most amusing, sir. Wipers!

Mother, I love her.

Mr and Mrs Jenks, would you join me? Mother Jenks, you come up here, too.

Mr Frank Oznowitz. Please pick up a white courtesy telephone.

Mr Randy Watson! Randy Watson.

Much better.

My blessing is granted. Let the courtship commence.

My daughter Lisa might know where he went. They've gotten quite close.

My friend Semmi has altered the apartment, so we would like to change.

My name is Peaches And I'm the best

My servant.

My son works?!

No journey is too great, when one finds what he seeks.

No one here can know I am royalty. I must appear as an average man.

No way. He lives off his father's invention.

No, but I'm bringing a young lady up, and she can't see me living like this.

No, he's not. The Prince is in love with me.

No, it's just that you seem so educated.

No, it's just that you seem so educated.

No, it's totally empty.

No, you're not.

No.

None, only juices and berries.

Not you.

Now, my son ... Have you grown a moustache?

Now, wait a minute!

Now, where were we?

Obviously, you gentlemen came in on another boat.

Of course. If you like, we can give it all up now.

Oh, man. You ain't never met no Frank Sinatra.

Oh, my goodness! Oh, my goodness, it is you!

Oha ...

Oha, it is my 21st birthday.

Oha. Prepare the royal baggage. My son is going on a trip.

OK, fellas. Give them a ticket, take their keys and park the cars down the street.

Okay, get going. Get out of here. Go on.

Okay, see you later.

Okay, what's going on?

Once again, you have judged correctly.

Once, Frank Sinatra sat in this chair.

One, two, three ...

Only dogs are to obey. If you love your wife, you'll value her opinion.

Only God can give that woman that kind of joy.

Or this place, where I'm going tonight. The Black Awareness Rally.

Our home weave products are really taking off.

Pardon me. Step aside, please. Coming through. Excuse me. Out of the way!

Patrice ...

People love you.

People will see us.

Perhaps I should cut off my prince's lock.

Perhaps some other time, I have to get going.

Please refrain from using any more obscenities in front of these people.

Please welcome one of the organisers of tonight's festivities.

Please! Please, may I just have my picture taken with you?

Prepare the royal baggage!

Prince Akeem is the sole heir to the throne of Zamunda.

Probably went for a pizza. You know these youngsters.

Put your feet up.

Put your hands together for Mr Randy Watson.

Queens!

Randolph! Randolph!

Read it to me.

Really? We've got an extra ticket for the St. John's game. Want to come?

Remember, you must not tell a soul

Rose bearers!

Say you never loved me, and I won't bother you again.

See that he puts on some decent attire. And bathe him thoroughly.

See, I'm washing lettuce. Soon, I'll be on fries. Then the grill.

See, that's the problem. I can't find a man that can satisfy me.

See, they're "McDonald's". I'm "McDowell's".

Semmi ...

Semmi, don't you have somewhere you should go?

Semmi, look. There she is.

Semmi, please ...

Semmi!

Semmi.

Semmi.

Semmi. I have something else in mind. I intend to find my bride.

Sexual Chocolate. They play so fine, don't you agree?

She will fall into your arms, and we can leave this god forsaken place.

She will give you much pleasure, don't you think?

She's your Queen to be

She's your Queen to be

Since she was born, she was taught to walk, speak and think as a queen.

Sir, did you catch the professional football contest on television last night?

Sit down, I'll be right back with that drink.

So as it turns out, this has become an engagement party.

So why did you lie to me? Why didn' you just tell me you were a prince?

So you can have a woman who will obey your every command,

So you do care for her?

So you know about his wife in Zamunda?

So you would share your bed, and your fortune, with a beautiful fool

Some guys go an hour, hour and a half. That's it.

Someone ought to put you on a plate and suck you up with a biscuit.

Someone to care Someone to share

Someone to kiss Someone to miss

Son, and I'm just going to tell you this one time.

Sorry things didn't work out between you and me, but you understand.

Stay at the Waldorf or the Palace.

Stay out of this, Dad.

Straw.

Sugar Ray Robinson's the greatest fighter that ever lived.

Take care of this, will you?

Take the money out! All of it.

Take us to Queens at once.

Tell her you sent her the 500,000 dollar pair of earrings.

Tell me, Semmi. Honestly ... How do I look?

Thank you, you're too kind. Semmi, move our things.

Thank you, your Majesty!

Thank you.

Thanks for listening to me, Akeem. I really appreciate it.

Thanks.

That ain't nothing but Ultra Perm. How do you want it cut?

That'll be 8 dollars.

That'll be nine bucks.

That's easy. If there's one thing Queens got a lot of, it's common parts.

That's good to know.

That's one of the things I want to talk to you ...

That's their one, that's their one. "Rocky Marciano, Rocky Marciano!"

That's very considerate of you. Thank you!

That's what I mean. The guys that work here don't quote Nietzsche.

The children are our future,

The cooking, the pampering, the dressing, the bathing ...

The first thing we have to do is get you out of these wet clothes.

The Giants of New York took on the Packers of Green Bay.

The Giants triumphed by kicking an oblong pigskin ball through a big "H".

The guests are waiting, your Majesty.

The land is so big, the choices so infinite.

The life of a goat herder is easy, the goats take care of themselves.

The next time you and my father plan my life, let me in on it.

The royal penis is clean, your Highness.

The song makes a good point.

The truth. That Akeem could not be interested in her.

The University of the United States.

The wedding will proceed in 40 days. You may go home now. Good night.

The window faces a brick wall. I used to rent it to a blind man.

Their son, the Prince, loves your sister, but the King can't handle it.

Then go after her.

Then I want you to wash all the windows. Real good, too.

Then I'm going to write and direct my own stories, produce the movies ...

Then it is settled. From this day forth,

There you go.

There's a big rat inside.

There's a God somewhere.

There's a God somewhere.

There's going to be some fine women there. Clean girls.

There's only one bathroom on this floor, so you have to share it.

There's some people here to see you.

These are the best women Queens has to offer. Pick one, and let's go home.

They smell good. Darryl must be spending a fortune on flowers.

They're the frozen kind, but you'd never know it.

They've got the Big Mac. I've got the Big Mick.

They've got the golden arches. Mine are the golden arcs.

Thief! Stop thief! Come back, thief!

This here is my showplace. It pretty much speaks for itself.

This is Akeem's father. The King!

This is beautiful What is that velvet?

This is impossible. I command you not to obey me.

This is King Jaffe Joffer, ruler of Zamunda.

This is my favourite part of the game. Will you excuse me for a moment?

This is the first date Teresa and I have been on since the doctor separated us.

This is the greatest day of my life.

This is the place that I was telling you about. It's real fucked up.

This is where you're going to be working tonight.

This must be your lovely wife. How are you today?

This stuff ain't hot, is it?

Time flies. It seems only yesterday I ordered your first diaper changed,

To America!

To be loved, to be loved Wow! What a feeling

To be loved, to be loved Wow! What a feeling

To be used at your discretion

To quench your royal fire

To the bride and groom!

To the bride and groom.

Today is your 21st birthday. It means you meet your wife to be.

Turn around, ladies.

Ushers are passing with donation baskets, so please give all you can.

Very well, thank you.

Wait a minute, wait a minute! Stop right there.

Wait a second. Wait a second.

Wait in the car. I will be right back.

Wait right there, Akeem.

Wait! We cannot go in.

Wait. Sit down and keep me company.

Waiting only for your direction

We both got two all beef patties, sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles and onions.

We cannot anger Mr McDowell. Things are going so well with Lisa.

We don't spend enough time talking.

We go to New York.

We need to rebuild Lincoln Park.

We require a room that is very poor.

We will take the room.

We'll let fate decide.

We're about to make a very special announcement.

We're happy to get the kind of money that jingles,

We're in New York now. Let us dress as New Yorkers.

We've already chosen his bride. So you see ...

We've been hit by that guy five times,

We've been to every bar in Queens.

We've gone through a lot of trouble to select for you a very fine wife.

Wearing clothes must be a new experience for you.

Welcome to Casa de McDowell's. Come right in.

Welcome to my humble abode.

Well, at least I know who gave me these.

Well, Father ... Just a moment.

Well, I have to get back to my sanitation duties.

Well, it is a stupid tradition.

Well, then you're a putz. The three of you. Three putzes.

Well, you know, baby, I'm almost single. My husband's on Death Row.

What about Darryl

What about Patrice?

What about the woman you are supposed to marry?

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

What are you doing? It's just the half time?

What are you involved in? You can't afford this on your salary.

What are you looking at, buddy?

What can I do for you?

What can I do you for?

What did you say to my daughter?

What does "dumb fuck" mean?

What is this "McDowell's"?

What is wrong with the one you have? Didn't you want to rip her clothes off?

What kind of chemicals you got in there?

What kind of games do you play in Africa? Chase the monkey?

What's that? Some kind of weave or something?

What's the matter, baby?

What's up, brother? You're a little late for the Christmas pageant.

Whatever food you like.

Whatever you like.

Whatever you say, pal

When I grew up, nine of us lived in a shack no bigger than this room.

When I met your father, I was terrified.

When I tell you he's got his own money, I mean the boy has got his own money.

When it fills up, don't be afraid to call me. I'll take it out urgently.

When you get through here, you take out the trash.

When you think of garbage, think of Akeem.

When you're away Through here, gone each day

When you're finished, come inside and help out in the kitchen.

Where is your daughter? I must speak to her at once.

Where shall we go? Los Angeles or New York?

Which leaves a man with a great deal of time to read.

Which one?

Who in the hell is that?

Who the fuck is this asshole?

Who told you that?

Who's going to clean up the flowers?

Who's responsible for the fine food and beverage here tonight.

Why are you hugging him? He's just the servant.

Why did you come here?

Why do you worry about how you look?

Why don't you marry Darryl He dresses nice, he treats you good.

Why don't you take off your jacket, Akeem?

Why not?

Would you really have given this up for me?

Would you sign here, please?

Wrong! You're a prince who's never tied his shoes.

Yeah, one more time! Randy Watson, how about it!

Yeah!

Yes, I did.

Yes, I was about to take the birthday boy for his daily workout.

Yes, Lord!

Yes, sir.

Yes, where I'm from, we have to be very aggressive.

Yes, yes. Does it surprise you?

Yes, you are going to work today.

Yes, your Highness.

Yes! In the face!

Yes! Yes! Fuck you, too!

Yes.

Yes.

Yo, man! Get the big bag.

You ain't never seen Martin Luther King with no messy curls on his head.

You are being unreasonable.

You are right. 500,000.

You can double date with me and Darryl

You can keep them, 'cause I don't want them ...

You can see Lisa, and Mr McDowell, at McDowell's Restaurant,

You can't go to no bar to find a nice woman.

You got to go through her papa. People don't know that about American women.

You have been inconvenienced, and I'm prepared to compensate you.

You have the most amazing effect on people.

You know me. Anything for the kids.

You know there's a God who sits up high, and looks down low.

You know, I can appreciate the way you handled that dude with the gun.

You know, you can be all the things you've always wanted to be.

You look especially radiant today, your Grace.

You may enter.

You must be out of your goddamn mind!

You only like Darryl because he's rich.

You say one more word about Lisa, and I'll break my foot off in your ass.

You see, my son, there's a fine line between love and nausea.

You see? He has accepted us as equals.

You should change the name from "My T Sharp" to "The Three Putzes".

You should respect his wishes and call the man Muhammad Ali.

You told me my son was here.

You told me yourself. He's a goat herder.

You two kids have a good time, you hear?

You want to keep working here, stay off the drugs.

You will confine yourself to our royal suite at the Waldorf Astoria.

You wouldn't happen to know who that was, would you?

You'd better not be wasting my time. You got money?

You're a very special man. Reverend Brown! Reverend Brown.

You're above anything petty. It's almost regal

You're an unusual guy.

You're fine. Beautiful

You're out of your mind! Joe Louis is the greatest boxer that ever lived.

You're right! Get out, see the world. Enjoy yourself.

You're right. How could I even have considered marrying a guy like Darryl

You're so ashamed of your apartment you can't even let me see it.

You're so ashamed of your apartment you can't even let me see it.

You're still not speaking to me.

You're the son of a king, why shouldn' you walk on the petals of roses?

You've disgraced yourself, and you must be punished.

You've got to go to nice places, like the library and church.

You've got to mop the food prep area twice a day.

Your father told me to sow your royal oats.

Your goat herder makes Darryl look like a welfare case.

Your Highness. We have not come to that part yet.

Your Highness. Your Highness!

Your job was to look after Akeem. How could you let this happen?

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty. What are you doing here?

Your secret is safe with me, your Highness. Bye ...

Your wife need only have a pretty face, firm backside and big breasts.

2432 Derby Avenue, Jamaica Estates. Right.

8507, Queens Boulevard.

2 million. You can't buy my daughter off.

Akeem! I forbid you. Put a sock in it, Jaffe. The boy's in love.

And who are you? A man who's never tied his shoes.

And why can't I find my own wife? Aha! So that's it?

Are you able to follow the game? Oh, yes!

Are you all right, my dear? I'm sorry. I have to get out of here.

Are you all right? I'm fine.

Are you all right? Yes, Mother. I'm fine.

But, Father ... it is settled.

Can I get a "Amen"? Amen, brother!

Can you make my hair look like this? Why would you want that?

Can you tell us where he might be? He's out with my lovely daughter Lisa.

Cleo, I'd like to talk to you alone. Sure. Excuse us.

Come on! Excuse me for a moment.

Come with me. Where are we going?

Dad! Okay, Lisa. He's rich. He is rich!

Daddy ... He's a real fine young man.

Daddy ... You two make a beautiful couple.

Delivery for Miss Lisa McDowell. I'll take it, I'm her sister.

Do not worry, I have a plan. To mop your way into her heart?

Do you actually want to send this? Why? What is wrong?

Do you know how to mop? Yes, of course.

Do you think I overreacted? The first reaction is often correct.

Do you think they're real They couldn't be.

Does everyone in Africa talk like you? Why, do you not like it?

Does your apartment look poor? It's a real shithole. You'll love it.

Donations. Donations! I thought it was the trash.

Enjoying the show? Enjoy, young man.

Ever open a champagne bottle? I have seen it done before.

Excuse me. Hey, it's Kunta Kinte.

For your trouble. Thank you, your RoyaIness.

Goddamn, that boy can sing. You must be crazy.

Good morning, my neighbours! Fuck you!

Greetings, your Highness. Please, stop bowing.

Happy birthday, your Highness. Yes, it is my birthday.

He can't leave! What is going on?

He cannot help it. Sit down, take a break for a minute.

He must work very hard. The Prince of Soul Glo?

He's married? No, but he will be soon.

He's searching for his son Akeem. Your son?

Hello! Hi!

Hey, Akeem! This is my sister, Patrice. Hello, how are you?

Hi! Hello.

Home free. Like a bird.

How can you be so sure? Our son can't consort with such a girl

How's everything at Soul Glo? Fine.

I am a loyal citizen of Zamunda. You will spill your beverages.
