Love quotes

[Akeem chases Lisa in the subway train]

Prince Akeem: Lisa, please. I did not mean to hurt you.

Lisa McDowell: Well, at least I know who gave me these. [Removes earrings] Well, you can keep ’em. I don’t want them [throws earrings at Akeem] and I don’t want you!

[Akeem and Lisa walk to another car]

Akeem: Lisa, Lisa-

Lisa: Look, just leave me alone!

Akeem: Lisa, please. I love you.

Lisa: What about the woman you’re supposed to marry?

Akeem: I do not love her. Why do you think I came to America?

Lisa: Oh, your father told me to sow your royal oats!

Akeem: Oh, no. I came to America to find my bride. I came to Queens to find you.

Lisa: So why did you lie to me? Why didn’t you just say that you were a prince?

Akeem: Because I wanted you to love me for who I am.

Lisa: I’m not sure who you are anymore.

Akeem: I’m the man you fell in love with. Should it matter that I am a prince?

Lisa: You shouldn’t, but I-

Akeem: Just tell me you didn’t love me when you thought I was a goat herder, and I will never bother you ever again.

[short pause]

Lisa: It just wouldn’t work out, we’re too different. You’re royalty, for God’s sake!

Akeem: You want me to renounce my throne? I will. [calls out to passengers] From this moment on, I renounce my throne. I’m no longer the prince of Zamunda. I renounce my throne! [back to Lisa after passengers feel indifferent] Does this make you happy?

Lisa: [looks at nearby passengers] I can’t let you do that.

Akeem: I do not care about my crown. All I care about is you. Marry me, Lisa.

Black Man: So what do you think? [talking to white woman]

White Woman: Go on, honey. Take a chance!
