- What difference does it make?

Look, you better go back

to the nightclub and practice dancing.

I'll meet you for dinner. And don't

you worry about not being a big hit.

I'll shoot anyone

who doesn't like you.

Okay, kid.

Let's see, where were we?

- Peoria.

- Peoria.

- Peoria!

- Yeah.

Listen, Hotshot, eight years ago

in Peoria...

- Yeah?

...two private detectives...

LAWYER:

Mr. Laurel...

...I want you to think very carefully

before answering my next question.

Are you positive that this is the man

you identify...

...as the one who committed the crime?

It is quite important...

...that you answer

my question without prejudice.

Are you positive?

I'm positive

that I'm absolutely positive.

- Order in the court.

- I'm sorry, Your Honor...

...but I'm positively more positive...

...than he is positive.

Sit down, Mr. Hardy.

LAWYER:

Your Honor...

...that makes it doubly conclusive.

That closes the case.

Gentlemen of the jury...

...I leave the matter

entirely in your hands.

You've heard the evidence...

...the arguments by counsel

and last witness in rebuttal.

You may now retire.

- Your Honor, we've reached our verdict.

- Guilty!

You've convicted an innocent man!

I sentence you

to 20 years, hard labor.

I'm innocent, Your Honor,

I'm innocent!

I'll get you two guys...

...if it's the last thing I ever do.

- Ha-ha-ha-ha...

- Ha!

COLEMAN:
So you served 20 years

at hard labor, huh?

No.

After five years, the guilty man

confessed. I was released.

But I lost everything.

The lawyers took my fortune...

...my wife divorced me...

...my home was broken up.

Everything.

Those two bloodhounds

ruined my life.

I had to flee to Mexico

to start life anew.

But someday, I'll run across

them again...

...and when I do...

...I'm going to skin them alive.

- Uh-huh.

First, the little one...

...then the big one.

- I'm going to skin them alive.

- Take it easy, Richard K.

[WOMEN CHATTER INDISTINCTLY]

Oh, there is the great Don Sebastian.

[SPEAKING IN SPANISH]

Don't sit there, our other clothes

are not dry yet.

My hero.

Come on, snap out of it.

Wipe your mouth.

My key, please.

Look, Sebastian is here.

- Now pull yourself together.

- Welcome to Mexico City.

- Thank you.

- And to you too, sir.

- Thank you, sir.

- When did you arrive?

- We got in this morning.

- Why didn't you let me know?

- What for?

- What for?

I've got you billed over this town.

Don Sebastian, the greatest bullfighter

in the world from Barcelona, Spain.

I'm afraid you're mistaken, sir.

I'm Mr. Hardy,

and this is my good friend, Mr. Laurel.

- How do you do?

- How do you do?

Do you mean you're not Don Sebastian,
