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?
