• Patrice McDowell : What's everybody yelling about?

  Cleo McDowell : Their son, the Prince, is love with your sister, but the King here, he can't handle it!

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

  [Akeem and Semmi arrive] 

  Queen Aoleon : Are you all right?

  Prince Akeem : Yes, mother, I'm fine.

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

  [points at Semmi, who is shaking his head at her] 

  Patrice McDowell : He's the Prince.

  King Jaffe Joffer : Who told you that?

  [everyone looks at Semmi, who backs away, guiltily] 

  Patrice McDowell : You mean Akeem's the Prince?

  Cleo McDowell : Yeah. And he's in love with Lisa.

  Patrice McDowell : How come she always gets the good ones?

• Patrice McDowell : Darryl, what happened?

  Darryl Jenks : [soaking wet from rain]  Lisa dumped me.

  Patrice McDowell : Oh, I know. You poor thing. The first thing we have to do is get you out of these wet clothes.

  [Patrice takes off Darryl's jacket and starts unzipping his pants] 

• Patrice McDowell : Somebody's messin' around!

  Lisa McDowell : I am not.

  Patrice McDowell : I don't care how much a man admirers you, he's not going to give you earrings like that unless you givin' him a little *booty*.
