What is a syllable?

You don't mind if I get a word in here,

do you? Go ahead. I'm getting hoarse.

A syllable is a sound.

How is the sound formed?

It's formed by letters placed in

juxtaposition one to the other.

See what I mean?

No, I'm telling you.

How many letters in the alphabet? About...

Not about. There's a definite

number. New rules, huh?

No, there's always been

a definite number.

Are they all alike? Nooo. Nooo.

I got that one in.

Of course!

There are consonants and vowels.

Can you name the consonants?

North America, South America,

Paterson, New Jersey.

No, the consonants are 21

in number and five vowels.

Twenty-eight? I was

close. No. Twenty-six.

What do you form?

Syllables.

Syllables form words,

words form sentences.

Then people talk or do what you've

been doing. What have I been doing?

Making a fool of yourself.

Trying to attack me, hey? Look!

After I treat you like a

gentleman, you get antagonistic.

I dare you to hit me

once more!

Oh, using both hands.

You ought to be ashamed.

Oh, trying to pull a knife.

Let me give you advice.

When a reporter asks you for an

interview, don't talk so much!

Me and

my big mouth.

We'd rather have a cute one

than a smart one.

Sit down, amigo.

Excuse me.

Sorry.

Come right in.

Senor, we are going to

show you the sights. Wow!

We will try to make your

stay a pleasant one. Wow!

Mary! I'm sorry. I

didn't know you were busy.

Don't go, Mary. Girls, do

your waitin' on the outside.

Go ahead. Vamos.

Andale, andale.

I'll see ya.

Mary, please don't believe

what you just saw.

When I was with them,

I was thinking of you.

Gosh, I'm glad you've

come to see me. Really?

I didn't think you'd be

anxious to see me again,

Mr. Joe Bascom,

alias Humphrey Fish!

Mary? Stop calling me Mary!

Here I'm known as Montana.

But Mary's such a grand

old name. Then you use it!

Me use it.

Mary Fish.

That don't sound good.

The guys... Oh, that's silly.

Oh, stop it!

I'm sorry.

Mary?

Mary, if you

didn't like me,

why did you make me the Amigo

Americano? That was an accident.

When I saw you, I got so mad

I had to throw something!

And I thought you liked me. I like you.

Then will you please do me

a favor and get out of Mexico?

Joe, if you're arrested and they find

out I knew you, I'm in an awful mess.

Excuse me, please.

I'm sorry. I got

better manners than that.

Mr. Fish? I'm David

Winthrop from the embassy.

Come right in. Thank

you. I just dropped by...

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to intrude.

I didn't know you knew each

other. This is Mar... Miss Montana.

Yes, I know.

How do you do?

I just came up to congratulate

the Amigo. I was just leaving.
