Please don't go. I'd like to talk

to you. I'll only be a moment.

I dropped by to point out

that during your tour...

you will be an ambassador

of the United States.

Me an ambassador?

Uh-huh.

I'm only a little boy!

An ambassador of goodwill.

Your every move

will be watched.

The embassy didn't want

the tour to be a strain...

so we've taken the liberty of preparing

your speeches. Here's the one for Taxco.

Mr. Fish, do you think you can

deliver a speech? And why not?

I used to deliver newspapers

and they're heavier than this.

Shall we go,

Mr. Winthrop?

Allow me!

If there's anything else you want

to know, check with Mr. Lambert.

Unfortunately,

I can't locate him.

He's probably all tied up.

Good-bye.

Wait a minute.!

Ambassador.

Oh!

Harry, do you think there's any

future in me being an ambassador?

Oh.!

I forgot.

Why didn't you tell me

you were goin' on a tour?

How could I say anything?

You had me hogtied!

What's the idea? I just wanted

to make sure that you hang around.

If I get pinched, I want to

make sure the cops get you too.

Wait a minute,

you birdbrain!

Thanks to me, they think

you're Humphrey Fish.

Before they can arrest you, they've

got to prove that you'reJoe Bascom.

I'm not gonna tell 'em.

Furthermore, just who

is this guyJoe Bascom?

You'll find out soon enough.

How am I gonna find out?

Look at here.

"J.B."

Did you ever see "Fish"

spelled with a "B"? Barracuda.

Don't give me that

barracuda!

That's expensive. Wait a minute. "J.B."

You can't show

those initials.

Why can't I?

You can't afford to.

You're Fish now, notJ.B. I'm Fish?

Let me see the inside

of your coat.

"J.B."

Take that coat off.

You want to get us in

trouble? Don't get so rough.

Look at this...

on the pocket, "J.B."

Wait. Have you got your

initials on your watch? No, sir.

That's fine. I got my full name on it.

Your full name? Can you

imagine that? Joe Bascom.

Don't break the watch. You

want to get us in trouble?

Harry, don't!

Get this.

"J.B." On your belt.

Take it off.

You can't haveJ.B. anywhere.

You want to expose us?

Take it off! Don't take...

Take the pants...

Now I got everything

with the initials J.B. on it.

Harry, I'm not sure, but it's

worth a look. What's the matter?

"J.B."J.B.!

Take it off!

Come on. Get it off.

We can't take any chances.

Leave the arms on, Harry.

Never mind the arms.

Get out of my way. Hurry

up before anyone comes in.

I don't know what

you're excited about.

Ah viene

el senor americano.

A gift for the

senor americano.

Gracias.

That means thank you.

La canasta ms bonita

en todo Mxico. S, senor.

Look, a gift for

the senor americano.

Ah, gracias, gracias.
