Coming to America Page #2

---

don't you think?

I'm not sure if I'm ready.

I know we never had a talk about this,

but I always assumed you had sex

with your bathers. I know I do.

It's not that. I'm 21 years old,

and I have never left Zamunda.

I have yet to experience

what the outside world has to offer.

- So you want to sow your royal oats?

- No, it's not that...

You're right! Get out, see the world.

Enjoy yourself.

Fulfil every erotic desire,

and in 40 days, you will marry Imani.

- But, Father...

- It is settled.

May I have your attention, please?

The wedding will proceed in 40 days.

You may go home now. Good night.

Oha. Prepare the royal baggage.

My son is going on a trip.

Prepare the royal baggage!

This trip is an excellent idea.

40 days of fornication.

Semmi. I have something else in mind.

I intend to find my bride.

What is wrong with the one you have?

Didn't you want to rip her clothes off?

I want a woman who will arouse

my intellect as well as my loins.

- Where would you find such a woman?

- In America.

The land is so big,

the choices so infinite.

Where shall we go?

Los Angeles or New York?

We'll let fate decide.

Heads, New York. Tails, Los Angeles.

We go to New York.

But where in New York can one find

a woman with grace and elegance?

A woman suitable for a king.

Queens!

Mr Frank Oznowitz. Please pick up

a white courtesy telephone.

No one here can know I am royalty.

I must appear as an average man.

I will not say a word.

Halt!

You dumb f***!

Take us to Queens at once.

Do you want to go to Queens?

Rich fellows should be in Manhattan.

Stay at the Waldorf or the Palace.

- Take us to the Palace.

- No, I want Queens.

And we're not rich.

We're ordinary African students.

Whatever you say, pal.

- What part of Queens do you want?

- Take us to the most common part.

That's easy. If there's one thing

Queens got a lot of, it's common parts.

What does "dumb f***" mean?

- Is this shitty enough for you?

- Yes, this is perfect.

Fascinating! Semmi, look at this.

America is great indeed. A country so

free, one can throw glass on the street.

You must be

out of your goddamn mind!

Listen. Real Americans.

Sugar Ray Robinson's

the greatest fighter that ever lived.

- What about Joe Louis?

- "The Brown Bomber".

- That was a great boxer.

- You're damn right.

I suppose nobody in here

ever heard of Cassius Clay.

He's got a point. Cassius Clay

was a bad motherf***er.

I ain't saying Clay ain't bad.

I stopped liking him when he changed

his name to Muhammad Ali.

Wait a second. Wait a second.

A man has the right to change his name

to whatever he wants to change it to.

And if a man wants to be called

Muhammad Ali,

you should respect his wishes
