The King of Comedy - A Long-Awaited Proposal at a Wedding Ceremony
Rita Keane: [to Pupkin]
You call me up all junior and senior year. Night after night after night, right? And every time I'm wondering when is this guy going to stop talking and ask me out? Well, now I know the answer. August twelfth, nineteen seventy-six. It only took you ten, eleven years to work up to it.
Official:
We are met here in these extraordinary circumstances to join this man and this woman in holy wedlock. But, before we begin, let me voice a personal word of thanks to you, Rupert and to you, Rita, for choosing me to perform this prestigious ceremony. Because we are on prime time, I am going to discard my customary remarks in favor of a few personal reflections. When I was principal at Clifton High and these two were students, I had very little faith that Rupert here would amount to very much. But like his teachers and his fellow students, I underestimated this fine young man. Some say that this misjudgment is directly tied to my recent dismissal as head of the Clifton School System. But let me take this opportunity to set the record straight. Knowing that Rupert and Rita here were most certainly destined for a great career and a lifetime of happiness, I voluntarily stepped down. I would only here add my own wishes to those of millions of viewers for their continued health, wealth and boundless success. We'll be back to marry them in a minute, right after this word.
Wilson Crockett:
I just don't buy the idea that there are that many people out there crazy enough to spend their lives in prison for a few minutes on television.
