Prince Akeem: "But when I marry, I want the woman to love me for who I am, not because of what I am."
Jaffe Joffer: "And who are you?"
Prince Akeem: "I am a man who has never tied his own shoes before."

I don't know whether to shake your hand, or kiss it, or bow, or what. I feel like breakdancing.
