A scene from The Nutty Professor 1996
Buddy Love

[arriving to "The Scream" for his date]

You are too fine to be giving me curbside service!

Carla Purdy

[angrily]

I'm not, I'm leaving.

Buddy Love

What are you talking about leaving? We just got here!

Carla Purdy

No, you just got here, I've been waiting for you for almost an hour!

Buddy Love

Hey, now they say anticipation helps make the appetite grow stronger, if you know what I mean.

Carla Purdy

Anticipate the night alone.

Buddy Love

Hey, hey, let's just have a meal together! Why you leaving? Hey-what, do you want me to beg you?! I get down on my knees! I'm begging in front of all these people! You think I care that all these people are watching? I'm sorry! I'M SORRY!!! I WANT THE WORLD TO KNOW THAT I WAS LATE, AND I'M SORRY!!! My car ran out of gas! I needed fresh drawers! My mother's sick! The car broke down on the street! I'm so sorry!

Carla Purdy

[embarrassed]

Buddy, get up.

Buddy Love

No, listen, you gotta hear me out! Now, I am sorry! I don't know why this happened tonight! Of all nights, this has to happen to me tonight! WHYYYY?!

Carla Purdy

Okay.

Buddy Love

WHYYYYYY?!

Carla Purdy

Okay!

Buddy Love

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!

Carla Purdy

Okay, okay, okay!!!

Buddy Love

[instantly changes mood]

Okay good, let's eat! I am SO hungry. Hey, don't let the tears fool you, I'm a tooth chipper.
