[while Prince Akeem is getting a bath]
Bather: The royal penis is clean, your Highness.
Cleo McDowell: What'd you say to my daughter?
King Jaffe Joffer: I told her the truth. That Akeem could not be interested in her.
Queen Aoleon: How can you be so sure?
King Jaffe Joffer: Oh, come now. Our son cannot consort with such a girl.
Cleo McDowell: Hey, now wait a minute!
King Jaffe Joffer: Oha.
[Oha gets out a chequebook]
King Jaffe Joffer: I know you have been inconvenienced and I am prepared to compensate you. Shall we say one million American dollars?
Cleo McDowell: No way.
King Jaffe Joffer: Very well then, two million.
Cleo McDowell: You
haven't got enough money to buy my daughter off.
King Jaffe Joffer: Nonsense!
Queen Aoleon: Jaffe. Apologize to Mr. McDowell.
King Jaffe Joffer: I will do no such thing. The man is beneath me and so is his daughter.
Cleo McDowell: I don't give a damn who you are! This is America, Jack. Now, you say one
more word about Lisa here and I'mma break my foot off in your royal ass!
King Jaffe Joffer: Pardon me?
[Prince Akeem is recognised by an awestruck Zamundan immigrant who has his photo taken with him]
Basketball Game Vendor: I will cherish this experience for the rest of my life. For the rest of my life.
Lisa McDowell: [after he leaves] Who was that?
Prince Akeem: Just a man I met in the restroom.
Telegraph Lady: You actually want to send this?
Semmi: Why? What is wrong? Read it to me.
Telegraph Lady: To His Majesty, King Jaffe Joffer, The Royal Palace, Zamunda. Sire, Akeem and I have depleted our funds. Kindly send 300, 000 American dollars immediately, as we are in dire straits. Your humble servant, Sem-i.
Semmi: [correcting her] Semmi.
Telegraph Lady: Semmi.
Semmi: Should I make it 400,000?
Telegraph Lady: You think that'd be enough?
Semmi: You are right. 500,000.
Telegraph Lady: As long as you're asking, why not go for a cool million?
Semmi: You do not think that would be too much?
Telegraph Lady: Naah.
[Prince Akeem has just given a wad of cash to a homeless man]
