Good morning, my neighbors!
Yes! Yes! Fuck you too!
Sir, did you happen to catch the professional football contest on television last night?
Oh sir, the Giants of New York took on the Packers of Green Bay. And in the end, the Giants triumphed by kicking an oblong ball made of pigskin through a big “H”. It was a most ripping victory.
But, father, what if I do not love her?
It would be wise for you to put the weapon down.
Please refrain from using any further obscenities in the presence of these people.
I’m warning you. I will be forced to thrash you.
I am not interested in Patrice.
I am not interested in Darryl either.
I am Akeem.
I have recently been placed in charge of garbage. Do you have any that requires disposal?
When it fills up, call me. I will take it out most urgently.
When you think of garbage, think of Akeem!
Of course. If you like, we can give it all up now.
I will not leave without Lisa.
Mother, I love her.
Oha, it is my twenty-first birthday. Do you think perhaps just once I might use the bathroom by myself?
To find something special.
No journey is too great when one finds what he seeks.
But when I marry, I want the woman to love me for who I am, not because of what I am.
I am a man who has never tied his own shoes before!
I am not sure if I am ready.
I want a woman that’s going to arouse my intellect as well as my loins!
In America!
What does dumb fuck mean?
Is it just me, or does every woman in Queens have a severe emotional problem?
Just for once, I would like to cook for myself and take care of myself, dress myself, wipe my own backside.
Yes, I know this. But I would like to know about you. What do you like to do?
What kind of music do you like?
Look, I know what I like. And I know that you know what I like because you were trained to know what I like, but I would like to know what you like. For instance, do you have a favourite food?
Good! What is your favourite food?
This is impossible. Listen, from this moment on, I command you not to obey me!
Listen, I know what I like, and I know you know what I like, because you were trained to know what I like, but I would like to know, what do you like?
So, you would share your bed, and your fortune, with a beautiful fool?
But how can a man get excited about a woman he’s never seen?
But it is also tradition that times *must* and always do change, my friend.
Only dogs are to obey.
“He who would learn to fly one day must first learn to stand and walk.” One cannot fly into flying. That is not mine. That is Nietzsche’s.
Does your apartment look poor?
Sir, where can one go to find nice women here?
Fascinating! Semmi, look at this! America is great indeed. Imagine a country so free, one can throw glass on the streets!
I have a date with Lisa! Isn’t that wonderful?
I wanted you to love me for who I am.
…Yes. Where I’m from, we have to be very aggressive.
Well, father, first of all it is things like this.
The rose petals.
Ah, but mother, if there were no rose petals I would still be the son of a king.
If you truly love your wife, you will value her opinion.
