Eddie Murphy, Football Prophet?


...posted by Anthony De Rosa...

From the classic Eddie Murphy movie, Coming To America…

Prince Akeem: Sir, did you happen to catch the professional football contest on television last night?

Cleo McDowell: No, I didn’t.

Prince Akeem: Oh sir, the Giants of New York took on the Packers of Green Bay. And in the end, the Giants triumphed by kicking an oblong ball made of pigskin through a big “H”. It was a most ripping victory.

Cleo McDowell: Son.

Prince Akeem: Yes?

Cleo McDowell: If you want to keep working here, stay off the drugs.

Prince Akeem: Yes.

Thanks to TaxMan for alerting me of this in the first place.
