When they're at the Black Awareness Rally and the plate gets passed.
"Donations fool! Donations!"
"I'm sorry I thought that was the trash!"
"Mr. McDowell, I was wondering if you happened to catch the professional football game on television last night?"
"No, I missed it."
"Oh it was very exhilarating. The Giants of New York played the Packers from Green Bay. They won the game by kicking an oblong shaped ball made of pigskin through a big yellow "H" It was a most thrilling victory." That may not be word for word but it's close.
So I've been a me-love-you-long-time lover/user (since 2000 but I didn't register until 2007)of IMDB and this is honestly my first post. I absolutely love this film and think that Landis's directing is tone-perfect, and the script is comedy pure-platinum, through and through in EVERY scene.
I don't think anyone has quoted one of my favorite lines (but feel fee to correct me if I'm wrong and missed it in a previous post)... that being Arsenio Hall (as the Reverend/M.C. at the Black Awareness Week rally) in which he gives the microphone to Lisa McDowell (played by the ever-sexy Shari Headley) and states: "Girl, you look so good someone oughtta put you on a plate and sop you up with a biscuit!" That line makes me laugh my ass off anytime I even think about this movie! Just brilliant... as is 3/4's of this script and ALL of the performances. Absolute hilarity.
