The very idea!

Huh!

Oh!

Will you come quietly, Bascom? Bascom?

My name is Fish, Humphrey

Fish. Why did you run away?

Why were you chasing me? Because

you ran away. Why'd you run?

Because you were chasing me. Just a minute.

You made a mistake.

I happen to know Mr., um... Fish.

I'd rather call myself a crook. So would I.

Who are you? That's Mr. Harry Lambert.

He goes wherever I go,

don't you, Mr. Lambert?

We think he's Joe Bascom. You swear he's

Humphrey Fish? Got a picture of Bascom?

No. He took it on the lam

before he could be mugged.

That's Humphrey Fish.

Release him immediately.

Something wrong, Mr.

Lambert? Yes, Mr. Winthrop.

These men think my pal, Humphrey

Fish, is Joe Bascom, a fugitive.

A case of mistaken identity.

That's a lot of malarkey.

This guy adds up toJoe Bascom.

Bascom is short and dumpy.

Like you? Like me. And

he's got a roly-poly face.

Like you? Like me! And he's

got short, fat, stumpy legs.

Like you?

Yeah, like me!

Arrest that man!

Let's go, boys.

iViva el Amigo Americano.!

Hold it.

That's wonderful.

Girls, how about

a little kiss, a smile?

Hold it, hold it.

Thank you, senoritas, senor.

And I want

to thank you, senor.

Girls, thank you for having

your picture taken with me.

Do not thank us. We are with the

compliments of the chamber of commerce.

We are your

ladies-in-waiting.

Senor, es un placer

estar con usted.

This kid I can

never understand.

It would be bad publicity

if you were to get lonesome.

Senor, queremos que

su visita aqu sea muy feliz.

Muy feliz. iMuy feliz.!

I'm lost again.

Mr. Fish, I'm waiting

for my interview!

I forgot all about you.

Excuse me, girls.

On behalf of the Amalgamated Press,

I'd like to ask a few questions.

How do you feel about

this responsibility...

in making you the Amigo

Americano? Well, it's...

You are all alike.

Would you say the

relationship exemplified...

by your lackadaisical

efforts to promote goodwill...

could possibly accomplish anything? Well...

You sound

like an egotist.

Why do you attempt to use

polysyllabic conversation...

when your intelligence

quotient is minus nil?

Stick to words of one syllable.

Do you know what a syllable is?

What's a syllable? Are you

sure you know? A syllable...

Give me your definition. Go

ahead. Take it easy. A s...

One word at a time.

You're sure you know?

Don't get excited.

Will you get out!

Tell the girls

so the girls will know.

What's a syllable?

Don't rush yourself.

I want the girls to know

you're a smart man.

What's a syllable exactly? A syllable is...

You're sure you know

what a syllable is?

Give a simple explanation. If you

give it to me it's bound to be simple.
