** The official "premiere" of ''Dolemite'' is so successful that crowds are lined up round the block waiting to get in to see it. Rather than going to watch the premiere (since he's already seen it), Rudy decides to hang out with and entertain the waiting crowds, even giving a young fan his pimp cane and some encouragement to pursue his dreams.
-->'''Rudy''': ''(as Dolemite)'' Hello, all you motherfuckers! ''(cheers)'' Yes, ladies and gentlemen. I just want to say it’s a pleasure to have y’all come out here tonight, but I’m sorry to tell you, it’s going to be a bit of a wait! ''(groans)'' But don’t worry. Don’t nobody leave, because I promise you it’s going to be worth it! Because like I always say, ''Dolemite is my '''name''','' and rapping and tapping is my game. Yes, I’m young and free, and just as bad as I wanna to be! Take a look at me! I’m a rare specimen of a man, don’t you agree? I want you to live the life that you love and love the life that you live! From the frantic Atlantic, to the terrific Pacific, be the best of whatever you are. Shoot for the moon, and if you miss it, hang on to a motherfucking star.
