8 quotesA Conversation About Unrequited Feelings
Queen Aoleon
Are you all right, my dear?
Lisa McDowell
No, it's just that...I got to get out of here.
Queen
What did you say to her?
[after Lisa leaves]
King Jaffe Joffer
I told her the truth, that Akeem cannot be interested in her.
Queen
How can you be so sure?
King
Oh, come now. Our son cannot consort with such a girl.
Cleo McDowell
Now, wait a minute!
King
Oha. I know you have been inconvenienced and I am prepared to compensate you. Shall we say, one million American dollars?
[Oha writes in checkbook]
Cleo
No way.
King
Very well, then, two million.
[to Oha]
Cleo
You don't have enough money to buy my daughter off.
[tears away the check Oha's writing on]
King
Nonsense.
Queen
Jaffe, apologize to Mr. McDowell.
King
I will do no such thing. The man is beneath me and so is his daughter.
Cleo
I don't give a damn who you are. This is America, Jack. Now, you say one more word about Lisa, and I'll break my foot off in your royal ass!
[agitated]
King
Pardon me?

The Essence of Fatherhood and Existence
Thulsa Doom
My child, you have come to me, my son. For who now is your father if it is not me? Who gave you the will to live? I am the well spring, from which you flow. When I am gone, you will have never been. What will your world be without me, my son? My son.

The Day of Doom Approaches
Thulsa Doom
Purging is at last at hand! The Day of Doom is here! All that is evil, all their allies; your parents, your leaders, those who would call themselves your judges; those who have lied and corrupted the Earth - they shall all be cleansed! You, my children, are the water that will wash away all that has gone before. In your hand, you hold my light, the gleam in the eye of Set. This flame will burn away the darkness, burn you the way to paradise!

King

Queen
Well, it is a stupid tradition!
King
Who am I to change it?
Queen
I thought you were the King?

The Value of the Eye of the Serpent
Thulsa Doom
Where is the Eye of the Serpent? Rexor said that you gave it to a girl; probably for a mere night's pleasure. Such a loss. People have no grasp of what they do.
