Like any normal 31-year-old, Prince Harry has seen 'Ace Ventura' one too many times.

If you can quote lines from Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, then you have something in common with the person who's fifth in line for the English throne: Prince Harry.
The prince got a chance to toss the football with former Dolphins quarterback Dan Marino this week, however, he seemed to way more excited about the fact that he was playing catch with one of the stars of Ace Ventura.
While the two were tossing the football, Harry yelled out, "Laces out, Dan."
That's Prince Harry (in the middle) yelling "laces out, Dan!" while playing catch with Dan Marino. #NFLUK https://t.co/YuVyEQTsAZ

Because he knows that line, Harry has now moved up my list of favorite people in the British Royal Family. He'll move up even further if he marries Pippa Middleton.
Anyway, if you've never seen Ace Ventura, here's a quick synopsis of the movie: A kicker named Ray Finkle misses a 26-yard field attempt as time expires in Super Bowl XVII. He blames the miss on Marino because Dan didn't hold the ball laces out.
A kidnapped dolphin is also featured prominently in the movie.
So why were Marino and Prince Harry even hanging out together?
With the Dolphins in England to play the Jets this week, Marino made the trip over to London to take part in a charity event called "Walking with the Wounded."
As part of the initiative, Prince Harry and Marino walked 7.5 miles with war veterans from both England and the United States.
At some point during the walk, the group stopped to play catch.
"We took a little break and threw the football around in a sheep pasture, I guess," Marino said, via the NFL's UK Twitter page. "It was fun, we did that for probably about 15 minutes. I got my throwing in for the day. [Prince Harry] was great. He was really athletic."
