AKEEM:
Today, we celebrate
17
00:02:28,274 --> 00:02:31,777
30 years of Zamundan prosperity,
18
00:02:31,861 --> 00:02:35,531
30 years of service
to our great nation
19
00:02:35,614 --> 00:02:39,535
and 30 years
of delicious fast food.
20
00:02:39,618 --> 00:02:43,122
-We want to welcome you all to
McDowell's Zamunda. -(cheering)
21
00:02:46,208 --> 00:02:49,044
The McDowell's menu is in no way
22
00:02:49,128 --> 00:02:51,505
influenced by
the McDonald's menu.
23
00:02:51,589 --> 00:02:53,424
They've got Egg McMuffins.
24
00:02:53,507 --> 00:02:55,301
We've got Egg McStuffins.
25
00:02:55,384 --> 00:02:56,969
MAURICE:
We are also celebrating
26
00:02:57,052 --> 00:03:02,391
the arrival of our new
Beyond Big Mick Burger!
27
00:03:02,474 --> 00:03:06,312
And it's all part of my lovely
granddaughter's campaign
28
00:03:06,395 --> 00:03:08,522
to reduce our, uh... our what?
29
00:03:08,606 --> 00:03:10,149
Carbon footprint.
30
00:03:10,232 --> 00:03:13,360
And without using
any animal by-products.
31
00:03:13,444 --> 00:03:16,238
It's just
good old-fashioned grass.
32
00:03:18,449 --> 00:03:20,451
-So there's no meat?
-There's no meat.

Beautiful, leafy taste.
34
00:03:24,830 --> 00:03:26,916
So delicious.
35
00:03:26,999 --> 00:03:29,043
Maybe it would taste
much better with a...
36
00:03:29,126 --> 00:03:31,795
(coughs) Pepsi.
37
00:03:31,879 --> 00:03:35,799

of McDowell's Zamunda.

You look tired, Father.
43
00:04:05,162 --> 00:04:07,623
Maybe he needs a nap.
44
00:04:11,001 --> 00:04:13,045
I am the heir
to the throne of Zamunda.
45
00:04:13,128 --> 00:04:15,339
I shall not be shamed
by my two daughters.

Behold! Prince Akeem
in his natural element,
52
00:04:40,614 --> 00:04:43,826
cowering at the mercy
of the women in his life.
53
00:04:43,909 --> 00:04:45,869
Semmi, perhaps you would like
to spar with my daughters
54
00:04:45,953 --> 00:04:47,538
and teach them
some combinations.
55
00:04:48,580 --> 00:04:49,999
(chuckles) No doubt, you are
56
00:04:50,082 --> 00:04:51,500
their best teacher,
Your Majesty.
57
00:04:51,583 --> 00:04:52,876
It is my daughters that teach me
58
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:54,211
in the languages
of the modern world.
59
00:04:54,294 --> 00:04:55,921
For instance,
60
00:04:56,005 --> 00:04:57,631
are my princely robes
not on fleek?
61
00:04:57,715 --> 00:05:00,259
Oh, my God, Father.
To be on fleek is no more.
62
00:05:00,342 --> 00:05:01,885
Really?
63
00:05:03,512 --> 00:05:05,014
I rather enjoyed being on fleek.
64
00:05:05,097 --> 00:05:06,557
SEMMI:
Your father has sent for you.
65
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,892
He has an urgent matter
to discuss with you.
66
00:05:08,976 --> 00:05:12,021
Tell me, Semmi,
this urgent matter--
67
00:05:12,104 --> 00:05:14,648
does it concern
my marriage to a suitor
68
00:05:14,732 --> 00:05:17,151
who shall one day sit
on the throne of Zamunda?
69
00:05:17,234 --> 00:05:19,028
I will talk to Father alone.
70
00:05:24,324 --> 00:05:26,452
And how is my father today?
71
00:05:26,535 --> 00:05:29,079
He has already ordered
my execution three times.
72
00:05:29,163 --> 00:05:31,415
Oh, then he must be
feeling better. (chuckles)
73
00:05:31,498 --> 00:05:32,666
Prince Akeem!
74
00:05:32,750 --> 00:05:34,418

75
00:05:34,501 --> 00:05:36,462

my father still breathes.

Why have you come here, General?
96
00:07:01,463 --> 00:07:03,841
30 years ago,
you left my sister at the altar.

00:07:03,924 --> 00:07:05,300

AKEEM:
General, throughout the years,
105
00:07:25,445 --> 00:07:27,990
we have tried to help
Nexdoria many times.
106
00:07:28,073 --> 00:07:30,951
I would like nothing more
than to help your country
107
00:07:31,034 --> 00:07:32,828
relieve its burden of poverty.
108
00:07:32,911 --> 00:07:36,081
Zamunda can only afford so much.
109
00:07:36,165 --> 00:07:38,625
I did not come here for money.
110
00:07:38,709 --> 00:07:41,128
I came here for blood.
111
00:07:43,505 --> 00:07:45,299
But not the murder kind.
112
00:07:45,382 --> 00:07:47,801
No, no, no, family blood.
113
00:07:47,885 --> 00:07:50,220
Marriage blood, yes?
114
00:07:51,930 --> 00:07:57,060
Has your daughter considered
the proposal from my son?
115
00:07:57,144 --> 00:07:59,396
Hey, Prince-o. (chuckles)

Hey!

00:08:02,941 --> 00:08:04,860
Yes.
119
00:08:04,943 --> 00:08:07,946
I do not think that he and Meeka
will ever happen.
120
00:08:10,199 --> 00:08:12,409
Ever.

There is Bopoto, my daughter.

00:08:20,751 --> 00:08:22,544
Perhaps your son can be...

Uh, ay... (scoffs)
124
00:08:24,379 --> 00:08:26,465
But you don't have one.
125
00:08:26,548 --> 00:08:28,634
The shame must be unbearable,
126
00:08:28,717 --> 00:08:31,094
as a man, as a king,
127
00:08:31,178 --> 00:08:33,972

00:08:36,642 --> 00:08:39,144
Thank you for your visit,
General.
130
00:08:39,228 --> 00:08:40,938
Seeing you brings to mind
131
00:08:41,021 --> 00:08:43,190
all of my father's
favorite curses for you.
132
00:08:44,775 --> 00:08:48,153
To call you a shit stain
brought him much joy.
133
00:08:48,237 --> 00:08:51,031
I advise you
to reconsider my offer.
134
00:08:51,114 --> 00:08:54,618
It is better to be bound
by blood and marriage
135
00:08:54,701 --> 00:08:58,997
than be divided
by blood and war.
136
00:09:00,791 --> 00:09:02,459
Eh?

Please don't leave us so soon,

You don't have to suck up
to me anymore.

00:09:29,361 --> 00:09:30,821
I'll be dead soon.

Why couldn't it be you, Semmi?

BABA:
Yes, Your Majesty.
149
00:09:34,866 --> 00:09:36,868
His life is far too worthless.
150
00:09:36,952 --> 00:09:39,913

The throne must pass

AKEEM:
Yes, Father.
155
00:09:47,296 --> 00:09:48,672
A male heir.
156
00:09:49,673 --> 00:09:51,383
Once again, I apologize to you
157
00:09:51,466 --> 00:09:54,011
for all of the shame
and disappointment
158
00:09:54,094 --> 00:09:56,555
that my offspring's
genetic makeup has caused you.
159
00:09:56,638 --> 00:10:01,768
My son, it appears
your shortcomings in masculinity
160
00:10:01,852 --> 00:10:04,104
have turned out to be unfounded.
161
00:10:04,187 --> 00:10:06,273

I seen it
162
00:10:06,356 --> 00:10:08,150
in a vision.
163
00:10:09,526 --> 00:10:11,528
You gots a son.
164
00:10:13,947 --> 00:10:15,115
It is true.
165
00:10:16,283 --> 00:10:18,702
You have a son, Akeem.
166
00:10:20,704 --> 00:10:22,205
A bastard son.
167
00:10:22,289 --> 00:10:24,291
That is impossible.

I have ever lain with is Lisa.

Hmm?

00:10:42,267 --> 00:10:46,146
Remember in Queens,
night after night,
174
00:10:46,229 --> 00:10:48,315
you were looking
for the perfect woman?
175
00:10:48,398 --> 00:10:49,775
Yes.
176
00:10:49,858 --> 00:10:53,153
Well, I too was--
how can I say this?
177
00:10:54,738 --> 00:10:57,908
I was looking
for the perfect vagina.
178
00:11:00,452 --> 00:11:01,953
Or any vagina.
179
00:11:03,622 --> 00:11:07,084
We scoured the far reaches
of that loathsome city,
180
00:11:07,167 --> 00:11:09,753
searching rather unsuccessfully
for the woman of your dreams.

00:19:28,835 --> 00:19:31,504
the strength of our ancestors,
I shall know he is of my blood.
360
00:19:31,588 --> 00:19:33,548
Then he must come back
to Zamunda
361
00:19:33,631 --> 00:19:35,216
and take the princely test.
362
00:19:35,300 --> 00:19:37,969
Heir to the throne of Zamunda,
363
00:19:38,052 --> 00:19:40,138
born in America...
364
00:19:41,890 --> 00:19:43,892
...land of opportunity.
365
00:19:46,895 --> 00:19:49,188
What kind of man
do you think he is?
366
00:19:49,272 --> 00:19:51,858
This bastard.
367
00:19:51,941 --> 00:19:55,028
If he has Joffer blood
running through his veins,
368
00:19:55,111 --> 00:19:58,197
I'm sure he's destined
for greatness.
369
00:20:02,827 --> 00:20:04,829
-(phones ringing)
-(quiet chatter)
370
00:20:06,164 --> 00:20:08,082
You think you look respectable?
371
00:20:08,166 --> 00:20:09,792
I just want to look employable.
372
00:20:09,876 --> 00:20:11,502
Ain't nobody gonna hire you
over all these
373
00:20:11,586 --> 00:20:13,129
Mitt-Romney-looking-ass
shmiggas.
374
00:20:13,212 --> 00:20:15,882
LAVELLE:
Why not? I got sales experience.
375
00:20:15,965 --> 00:20:17,967
Which reminds me--
St. John's is at the Garden.
376
00:20:18,051 --> 00:20:19,969
Now, I want you to take
these tickets up there.
377
00:20:20,053 --> 00:20:21,971
Sell 'em at full freight
until tip-off.
378
00:20:22,055 --> 00:20:24,766
I can't do this shit
no more, man. I really can't.
379
00:20:24,849 --> 00:20:27,310
This hand-to-mouth shit,
it's got to stop, all right?
380
00:20:27,393 --> 00:20:28,645
I got to get solid.
381
00:20:28,728 --> 00:20:30,063
I'm in my 30s now.
382
00:20:30,146 --> 00:20:31,689
Since when?
383
00:20:31,773 --> 00:20:33,107
Today!
384
00:20:34,108 --> 00:20:35,693
(quietly):
Today.
385
00:20:35,777 --> 00:20:37,236
Today is my birthday.
386
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:38,863
And you forgot.
387
00:20:38,947 --> 00:20:41,741
Listen to me, young Jedi, okay?
388
00:20:41,824 --> 00:20:43,618
What you need to do
is learn to relax.
389
00:20:43,701 --> 00:20:45,244
I'm your uncle.
390
00:20:45,328 --> 00:20:47,455
You stay on the ground with me.
You dig it, son?
391
00:20:47,538 --> 00:20:48,665
Uh, L. Junson.
392
00:20:48,748 --> 00:20:51,376
Don't use white voice.
393
00:20:51,459 --> 00:20:53,002
Present.
394
00:20:54,295 --> 00:20:55,672
I do know smartphones.
395
00:20:55,755 --> 00:20:57,507
I know technology, all right?
396
00:20:57,590 --> 00:21:00,259
I'm well-versed
in emerging trends.
397
00:21:00,343 --> 00:21:02,595
And I'll tell you this, too.
398
00:21:02,679 --> 00:21:05,348
If you hire me,
I won't let you down.
399
00:21:05,431 --> 00:21:07,308
That's really inspiring.
400
00:21:07,392 --> 00:21:09,936
So, uh, just give me a chance,
Mr. Duke.
401
00:21:10,019 --> 00:21:11,938
Oh, my God, please.
My father is Mr. Duke.
402
00:21:12,021 --> 00:21:14,857
Uh, and my, uh, grandfather
and great-uncle,
403
00:21:14,941 --> 00:21:17,193
who founded Duke & Duke.
404
00:21:17,276 --> 00:21:19,237
-Uh, please just call me Calvin.
-All right.
405
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:20,488
I'm calling you Calvin.
406
00:21:20,571 --> 00:21:23,282
I noticed here,
under education, that--
407
00:21:23,366 --> 00:21:26,035
did it say that
you-you didn't graduate college?
408
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:27,704
Well, yeah, see,
I was three credits short
409
00:21:27,787 --> 00:21:29,080
from getting my, uh,
business degree,
410
00:21:29,163 --> 00:21:30,915
but then my mom got laid off,
and, uh,
411
00:21:30,999 --> 00:21:33,626
you know, I had to, uh,
drop out to help with the rent.
412
00:21:33,710 --> 00:21:36,129
-Is she addicted to drugs or...
-What?
413
00:21:36,212 --> 00:21:38,506
-She have gambling issues or...
-No, man.
414
00:21:38,589 --> 00:21:40,842
Pops, uh, in the picture or...
415
00:21:42,176 --> 00:21:44,595
-My dad was not in the picture.
-Ah.
416
00:21:45,930 --> 00:21:47,390
You know, I went
to boarding school,
417
00:21:47,473 --> 00:21:49,058
so there were months
where I didn't see
418
00:21:49,142 --> 00:21:52,228
my parents, except for breaks,
and, uh, it can be hard.
419
00:21:52,311 --> 00:21:55,440
I mean, I've read
a lot of studies that say
420
00:21:55,523 --> 00:21:57,900
that not having
a dominant male figure at home,
421
00:21:57,984 --> 00:22:00,028
it's so detrimental to a child.
422
00:22:00,111 --> 00:22:02,613
-Do they say that?
-Yeah, they say that.
423
00:22:02,697 --> 00:22:04,490
-Who?
-Scientists.
424
00:22:04,574 --> 00:22:06,951
-Bill Nye did a...
-The Science Guy.
425
00:22:07,035 --> 00:22:08,536
Your guy, uh,
Neil deGrasse Tyson.
426
00:22:08,619 --> 00:22:10,830
-(exhales sharply)
-Do you think that not having
427
00:22:10,913 --> 00:22:15,418
that kind of male role model
could put you at a disadvantage?
428
00:22:15,501 --> 00:22:18,629
No more of a disadvantage
than having a father
429
00:22:18,713 --> 00:22:20,673
who handed you your position.
430
00:22:20,757 --> 00:22:22,175
"Handed"?
431
00:22:22,258 --> 00:22:24,719
I-I was not handed anything.
432
00:22:24,802 --> 00:22:26,971
So you're saying
Daddy never donated a building
433
00:22:27,055 --> 00:22:29,015
to get you into
an Ivy League school?
434
00:22:29,098 --> 00:22:30,641
No. Yeah.
435
00:22:30,725 --> 00:22:33,519
Well, there was
a small off-campus library.
436
00:22:33,603 --> 00:22:36,064
And Daddy never
had to sneak you into
437
00:22:36,147 --> 00:22:38,024
an overpriced rehab facility
438
00:22:38,107 --> 00:22:40,109
to cover up
a cocaine addiction, Calvin?
439
00:22:40,193 --> 00:22:42,403
It was oxy, and my mom took me.
440
00:22:42,487 --> 00:22:44,322
(sighs)
441
00:22:44,405 --> 00:22:45,782
Kiss my ass, Calvin.
442
00:22:45,865 --> 00:22:47,200
Hey, you know something?
443
00:22:47,283 --> 00:22:48,868
You've been judging me
since I walked in here.
444
00:22:48,951 --> 00:22:51,537
Which sucks because
I am so motivated.
445
00:22:51,621 --> 00:22:53,414
You know what, I-I just
can't wait for them to find
446
00:22:53,498 --> 00:22:55,875
blackface photos of you
from the office party.
447
00:22:55,958 --> 00:22:58,795
I was
Will Smith's Aladdin, okay?
448
00:22:58,878 --> 00:23:00,296
Peace, Calvin.
449
00:23:00,379 --> 00:23:02,298

CLARENCE: Floyd "Money"
Mayweather ain't shit!
463
00:23:40,795 --> 00:23:42,421
He beat that Filipino boy ass.
464
00:23:42,505 --> 00:23:44,298
"Pack-a-quando," "Pack-a-mondo."
465
00:23:44,382 --> 00:23:47,593
Wh-Whatever his name is,
he beat that boy ass, Clarence.
466
00:23:47,677 --> 00:23:51,180
And he beat that meshuggener
Conor McGregor, the Irishman.
467
00:23:51,264 --> 00:23:53,558
Yeah, 'cause he had to do that
for the blacks.
468
00:23:53,641 --> 00:23:55,560
In this political climate,
Black man can't be taking
469
00:23:55,643 --> 00:23:56,978
no ass-whipping
from no white man.
470
00:23:57,061 --> 00:23:58,104
Would've caused a riot.
471
00:23:58,187 --> 00:23:59,397
I was ready to riot anyway.
472
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,149
I wanted to get me
one of them flat-screen TVs.
473
00:24:01,232 --> 00:24:03,526
(laughter)
474
00:24:03,609 --> 00:24:05,862
(entry bell jingles)
475
00:24:05,945 --> 00:24:08,573
Well, I'll be damned!
Look who done come up in here.
476
00:24:08,656 --> 00:24:11,701
Hey, it's Kunta Kinte and Ebola.
477
00:24:11,784 --> 00:24:14,328
-Famine and Blood Diamond.
-Nelson Mandela and Winnie.
478
00:24:14,412 --> 00:24:16,873
(Morris laughing)
479
00:24:16,956 --> 00:24:18,499
Those hungry babies
with the flies on their face.
480
00:24:18,583 --> 00:24:20,168
-Hey. Oh, oh, oh, oh.
-SAUL: Whoa, whoa.
481
00:24:20,251 --> 00:24:21,711
CLARENCE: That's too much, man.
You stepped over the line, now.
482
00:24:21,794 --> 00:24:23,212
We don't be talking that kind
of shit about the hungry babies.
483
00:24:23,296 --> 00:24:25,256
You gonna have to get out my
chair talking that kind of shit.
484
00:24:25,339 --> 00:24:26,674
Politically incorrect.
485
00:24:26,757 --> 00:24:28,467
Somebody need to whip your ass.
486
00:24:28,551 --> 00:24:30,511
Mm-hmm.
Get up and whip him, Sweets.
487
00:24:30,595 --> 00:24:32,305
Hey, don't be putting the money
in my hand all rough.
488
00:24:32,388 --> 00:24:33,806
Take your ass out of here.
You buy you a Flowbee
489
00:24:33,890 --> 00:24:35,433
and cut your own damn hair
from now on.
490
00:24:35,516 --> 00:24:37,977
Right now I could rip
a new ass in that kid.
491
00:24:38,060 --> 00:24:39,103
It is so good to see you.
492
00:24:39,187 --> 00:24:41,105
Your neighborhood
seems to be thriving.
493
00:24:41,189 --> 00:24:42,273
Oh, that's that gentrification.
494
00:24:42,356 --> 00:24:43,941
You know,
when the colored man here,
495
00:24:44,025 --> 00:24:45,276
this neighborhood
didn't have shit.
496
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:46,986
When the white man move in,
497
00:24:47,069 --> 00:24:49,447
they got their coffeehouses
and their dog parks,
498
00:24:49,530 --> 00:24:53,159
and my brownstone on Foch
Boulevard is worth $10 million.
499
00:24:53,242 --> 00:24:55,828
Your brownstone ain't worth
no ten million.
500
00:24:55,912 --> 00:24:57,538
-My brownstone is, too, worth
$10 million! -(Morris laughs)
501
00:24:57,622 --> 00:25:00,166
And I'm gonna sell it
and get me a Tesla.
502
00:25:00,249 --> 00:25:01,959
America has certainly changed
since our last visit.
503
00:25:02,043 --> 00:25:05,880
Your Black president finally
united this great country.
504
00:25:05,963 --> 00:25:07,590
Yeah, but it's all
gone to hell now.
505
00:25:07,673 --> 00:25:10,218
We all gonna die.
Just don't know how.
506
00:25:10,301 --> 00:25:11,802
SAUL:
It's gonna be the Nazis.
507
00:25:11,886 --> 00:25:13,471
Nazis are back,
508
00:25:13,554 --> 00:25:16,224
but now they dress
like the Best Buy Geek Squad
509
00:25:16,307 --> 00:25:18,351
and they want to kill people.
510
00:25:18,434 --> 00:25:21,896
Anybody could be a Nazi.
You ever notice that, Prince?
511
00:25:21,979 --> 00:25:23,814
Akeem now is an African king.
512
00:25:23,898 --> 00:25:25,066
CLARENCE:
Well, I'll be damned.
513
00:25:25,149 --> 00:25:27,735
You got any kids? I got kids.
514
00:25:27,818 --> 00:25:30,947
In fact, I got one granddaughter
used to be my grandson.
515
00:25:31,030 --> 00:25:33,407
They can turn your penis
into a vagina now.
516
00:25:34,533 --> 00:25:35,785
It's science.
517
00:25:35,868 --> 00:25:37,328
MORRIS:
I bet they could fix
518
00:25:37,411 --> 00:25:39,372
them long, sloppy titties
y'all got in Africa.
519
00:25:39,455 --> 00:25:40,957
You can't even
squeeze a tit nowadays.
520
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:42,291
It'll get you fired.
521
00:25:42,375 --> 00:25:44,418
I'm so sorry you can
no longer indiscriminately
522
00:25:44,502 --> 00:25:46,545
touch a woman's body
at your every whim.
523
00:25:46,629 --> 00:25:49,006
Oh, it's okay.
I got it in when I was young.
524
00:25:49,090 --> 00:25:51,092
(laughter)
525
00:25:53,678 --> 00:25:55,012
(wheezing laugh)
526
00:25:55,096 --> 00:25:57,682
So what you doing back here,
Idiot Amin?
527
00:25:57,765 --> 00:25:59,475
I am actually here
with a purpose.
528
00:25:59,558 --> 00:26:02,019
I have just discovered
that I may have a bastard son
529
00:26:02,103 --> 00:26:04,397
here in this land,

Oh! That's a damn lion, bruh!
1050
00:49:01,356 --> 00:49:04,692
Only when you can retrieve
the whiskers from a resting lion
1051
00:49:04,776 --> 00:49:06,527
will you be ready
to become prince.
1052
00:49:07,654 --> 00:49:11,157
(laughing)
1053
00:49:11,240 --> 00:49:12,450
This is a joke.
1054
00:49:12,533 --> 00:49:14,243
(stammering):
This is a joke, 'cause I know
1055
00:49:14,327 --> 00:49:16,120
your soft ass ain't never
do nothing like that.
1056
00:49:16,204 --> 00:49:17,872
Oh, yes, I did.
1057
00:49:17,955 --> 00:49:20,833
-On my very first attempt.
-Well...
1058
00:49:20,917 --> 00:49:23,836
Yes. First attempt. Very brave.
1059
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:26,047
AKEEM: You will need the courage
of all your ancestors...
1060
00:49:26,130 --> 00:49:28,174
A machete? A rocket launcher?
What you got?
1061
00:49:28,257 --> 00:49:30,635
...and the cunningness
of your Western ways.
1062
00:49:30,718 --> 00:49:33,096
And these.
1063
00:49:35,765 --> 00:49:37,767
(lion growling)
1064
00:49:39,936 --> 00:49:41,729
Thank you.
1065
00:49:47,860 --> 00:49:49,862
(growling softly)
1066
00:49:51,406 --> 00:49:53,282
Ain't this a bitch.
1067
00:49:54,492 --> 00:49:55,702
(thunder crashes)
1068
00:49:55,785 --> 00:49:57,203
LAVELLE:
I just don't belong here.
1069
00:49:57,286 --> 00:49:59,831
You are the son
of the king of Zamunda.
1070
00:50:01,708 --> 00:50:03,584
You come from a long line
of Joffers, and...
1071
00:50:03,668 --> 00:50:06,671
I come from a long line
of broke-ass nobodies.
1072
00:50:08,131 --> 00:50:11,300
What the hell I was thinking
that I could have this?
1073
00:50:11,384 --> 00:50:13,386
Or any of it?
1074
00:50:14,595 --> 00:50:17,014
Hey, for real, just...
cut this off, all right?
1075
00:50:17,098 --> 00:50:18,725
Just cut it off.
1076
00:50:18,808 --> 00:50:20,351
(Mirembe sighs)
1077
00:50:20,435 --> 00:50:23,146
You want to get rid of
the royal princely braid?
1078
00:50:24,397 --> 00:50:26,858
Well, this is fair.
1079
00:50:26,941 --> 00:50:30,361
To be honest, it wasn't
a great look on you.
1080
00:50:31,696 --> 00:50:34,782
Just one of the many
backward Zamundan traditions.
1081
00:50:36,284 --> 00:50:38,077
Hell yeah.
1082
00:50:38,161 --> 00:50:40,705
How long have you felt that way?
You know how itchy this is?
1083
00:50:40,788 --> 00:50:42,749
-It's a rat tail.
-(laughs)
1084
00:50:42,832 --> 00:50:45,293
(laughs) And what's up
with y'all and lion whiskers?
1085
00:50:45,376 --> 00:50:47,128
Like, be for real--
what's up with that?
1086
00:50:47,211 --> 00:50:48,838
(Mirembe laughing)
1087
00:50:48,921 --> 00:50:51,674
Hey, yo, I-I can't do this
right now, man.
1088
00:50:54,469 --> 00:50:56,471
Yo, look where I'm at.
1089
00:50:58,181 --> 00:51:00,224
I'm not supposed to be here.
1090
00:51:01,267 --> 00:51:03,102
You know, my whole life,
I had dreams
1091
00:51:03,186 --> 00:51:05,021
that my pops
would show up and take
1092
00:51:05,104 --> 00:51:07,231
me and my mom away
to a whole new life.
1093
00:51:07,315 --> 00:51:09,233
And come to find out,
he's a king.
1094
00:51:09,317 --> 00:51:11,027
To a whole damn country.
1095
00:51:11,110 --> 00:51:13,154
And the only way
to meet his expectations
1096
00:51:13,237 --> 00:51:16,866
is to walk with a stick
up my ass or get myself killed.
1097
00:51:18,993 --> 00:51:20,953
This-this ain't my way, Mirembe.
1098
00:51:21,037 --> 00:51:24,624
And I-I-I can't... I can't be
what he wants me to be.
1099
00:51:26,334 --> 00:51:30,087
Then perhaps
be not as King Akeem
1100
00:51:30,171 --> 00:51:32,423
but as Prince Akeem.
1101
00:51:34,091 --> 00:51:35,927
Ain't that the same brother?
1102
00:51:37,094 --> 00:51:38,846
You haven't heard the story.
1103
00:51:38,930 --> 00:51:41,390
Everyone in Zamunda knows
1104
00:51:41,474 --> 00:51:45,228
the legend of Prince Akeem
1105
00:51:45,311 --> 00:51:48,815
-in the land of Queens.
-(thunder crashes)
1106
00:51:48,898 --> 00:51:51,442
Prince Akeem was
a dutiful prince
1107
00:51:51,526 --> 00:51:53,152
and loyal son of Zamunda.
1108
00:51:53,236 --> 00:51:54,278
AKEEM:
Hello, Babar.
1109
00:51:54,362 --> 00:51:55,863
MIREMBE:
But he believed that a man
1110
00:51:55,947 --> 00:51:57,907
must walk his own path
and follow his heart.
1111
00:51:57,990 --> 00:51:59,742
I intend to find my bride.
1112
00:51:59,826 --> 00:52:01,577
What is wrong
with the one you have now?
1113
00:52:01,661 --> 00:52:03,496
-Bark like a dog.
-(barking)
1114
00:52:03,579 --> 00:52:05,164
AKEEM:
I want a woman that's going to
1115
00:52:05,248 --> 00:52:07,041
arouse my intellect
as well as my loins.
1116
00:52:07,124 --> 00:52:09,085
MIREMBE:
He flew across the sea
1117
00:52:09,168 --> 00:52:10,586
to find his true love.
1118
00:52:10,670 --> 00:52:11,838
Now there,
1119
00:52:11,921 --> 00:52:14,924
in the barbaric land of Queens
1120
00:52:15,007 --> 00:52:18,344
did Prince Akeem battle
bug-eyed burglars,
1121
00:52:18,427 --> 00:52:20,221
foul-mouthed barbers
1122
00:52:20,304 --> 00:52:23,099
and sexist men of the cloth
1123
00:52:23,182 --> 00:52:25,476
to win the heart
of his true love,
1124
00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:28,271

and beautiful and magical.
1130
00:52:42,660 --> 00:52:45,454
A new dawn had arised
in Zamunda,
1131
00:52:45,538 --> 00:52:46,873
a new sense of hope
1132
00:52:46,956 --> 00:52:48,583

If it pleases Your Majesty,
1149
00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:48,643
I present to you Kareem Junson,
1150
00:53:48,726 --> 00:53:52,313
aka Uncle Reem,
1151
00:53:52,396 --> 00:53:54,357
my royal consigliere.
1152
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:56,525
That's Italian
for "mack daddy mentor."
1153
00:53:56,609 --> 00:53:59,779
You need no other teacher
than your king and your father.
1154
00:53:59,862 --> 00:54:02,198
No, no, no, no. See, you watch
your bottom lip, money grip,
1155
00:54:02,281 --> 00:54:03,824
'cause you understand,
while y'all was out here
1156
00:54:03,908 --> 00:54:05,618
riding elephants
and chasing Tarzan,
1157
00:54:05,701 --> 00:54:08,913
I was schooling this boy
on the streets of Queens.
1158
00:54:08,996 --> 00:54:10,873
-All right, well, that's...
-No, 'cause he don't know me.
1159
00:54:10,957 --> 00:54:13,250
-You do not know me.
-No, you don't know me.
1160
00:54:13,334 --> 00:54:14,377
You do not know me.
1161
00:54:14,460 --> 00:54:15,753
-You don't know me.
-I will cut you.
1162
00:54:15,836 --> 00:54:17,004
Enough of this.
1163
00:54:19,173 --> 00:54:23,469

you're welcome in my kingdom.

REEM: Benson, y'all got
some crab cakes, man?
1166
00:54:27,014 --> 00:54:28,057
I need some protein.

-Benson is you.

1173
00:54:39,819 --> 00:54:40,820
See his feet?
1174
00:54:40,903 --> 00:54:42,113
-Yes.
-See where his hand at?
1175
00:54:42,196 --> 00:54:43,864
-Mm-hmm.
-See how he moving?
1176
00:54:43,948 --> 00:54:46,617
Yes. There's a fluidity to it.
1177
00:54:46,701 --> 00:54:49,620
Yeah, it's like Bruce Lee said,
"Be like water."
1178

LAVELLE:
That's Hebbe Joffer.
1179

Legend has it
he could speak to animals,
1180
00:54:52,999 --> 00:54:54,208
and people thought he was crazy
1181
00:54:54,291 --> 00:54:56,002
until he made a giraffe

TOTATSI (over TV):
It appears a royal wedding
1183
00:54:59,296 --> 00:55:00,965
may soon be upon us.
1184
00:55:01,048 --> 00:55:02,842

we are joined by Semmi.

00:55:02,925 --> 00:55:04,260
Good to see you, Totatsi.
1186
00:55:04,343 --> 00:55:07,763
According to our ZNN source
inside the palace,
1187
00:55:07,847 --> 00:55:09,765
we are hearing-- and I quote--
1188
00:55:09,849 --> 00:55:13,769
"The boy been balling
on this princely-ass test
1189
00:55:13,853 --> 00:55:18,607
ever since his handsome
and mad smart uncle showed up."
1190
00:55:18,691 --> 00:55:21,152
That is absurd, Totatsi.
Who is your source?
1191
00:55:21,235 --> 00:55:23,112
What the deal? What the deal?
1192
00:55:23,195 --> 00:55:25,239

Are you trying to say
I'm out of pocket?
1704
01:19:19,755 --> 01:19:21,883
What I am saying is, when a
person is drunk, they may say
1705
01:19:21,966 --> 01:19:23,426
-something that they regret...
-So, whenever a woman
1706
01:19:23,509 --> 01:19:24,927
speaks her mind, including
our daughter, then you just...
1707

you mind your tongue!

change things.

You were supposed to bring this
kingdom to the 21st century,
1711
01:19:39,609 --> 01:19:43,946
but instead,
you push our daughter aside,

someone who has dedicated
her life to this country.
1713
01:19:49,118 --> 01:19:51,621
And because she's a woman,
1714
01:19:51,704 --> 01:19:53,915

hundreds of years of tradition.

1717
01:19:58,753 --> 01:20:00,421
I must be strong.
1718
01:20:05,343 --> 01:20:06,761
I get it.
1719
01:20:08,262 --> 01:20:10,431
You're the king.
1720
01:20:10,515 --> 01:20:12,642

in this castle.

from my own bedroom?

It was simple,
and it made sense.
1733
01:21:23,004 --> 01:21:25,923
Every day, I have moved
closer to the comfort of life,
1734
01:21:26,007 --> 01:21:28,050
and now my eyes are open,

diplomatically.

the main event, young folks.
1911

Lavelle Junson, do you take...
1912
01:29:58,227 --> 01:30:00,354
Stop!
1913
01:30:01,855 --> 01:30:04,733
Did you run here
all the way from Africa?
1914
01:30:04,817 --> 01:30:07,152
Lavelle, you cannot do this.
1915
01:30:07,236 --> 01:30:09,530

on your family.

something! -Oh! (stammers)

-Don't "son" me!
1923

as brave as you, Lavelle Junson,
1932
01:31:18,348 --> 01:31:21,059
but I know true love.
1933
01:31:21,143 --> 01:31:26,940
When I told my mother that
my true love was my Queen Lisa,
1934
01:31:27,024 --> 01:31:29,151
she urged me to go to her,
1935
