But enough for

fertile valleys,

towering mountains

and abundant plains.

Another of nature's precious

gifts to this great land...

is its vast

mineral wealth.

Hundreds of millions have been

taken out of the silver mines.

But there's still more

where those millions came from.

Private surveys show that even though

many of these mines were abandoned...

modern equipment can still

produce more millions from them.

This is truly

the land of opportunity.

Before I close, I would like

to take a fine statement...

from one of your statesmen

of many years back,

Pedro de la Cruz Franco

Poncho-la Wa Wa...

from Chihuahua,

who said these never

to be forgotten words...

quote... I thank you...

unquote.

Lambert, I'm ready to do

business on that mine...

Mr. Lambert, you spoke

to me about a silver mine...

Mr. Lambert, I'd like a

chance to bid on that mine.

If you're prepared to issue stock,

I'd write a check immediately.

There's no rush. Perhaps

you'll consider a partnership?

I have holdings in South

America. We'll talk that over.

Mr. Lambert and I were on

the verge of closing a deal.

Mr. Clark, gentlemen,

please.

I want to be fair and square.

Share and share alike.

No doubt you're all going to

Acapulco on the Amigo Americano Tour.

We'll see that you all share

equally in this bonanza.

Ah-ha!

Pretty little thing.

With all the tourists,

boy, we'll hit the jackpot!

The last time you used this machine, I got

in trouble. This machine will get you out.

I don't think anything's

gonna get me out. Why worry?

I let you buy the ink. Yes, sir.

To clean up that mess in Iowa, I'm

giving you 50% of the profits, am I not?

To prove I'm on the level,

I've got the mine in your name.

That's got me worried.

Putting the mine in my name.

Wait. You sold oil stock

without having an oil well.

But here you have a real silver mine!

There's one thing I'd like to ask.

What is that?

Is this on the level?

Are you an honest man?

You bet your life I am.

Would an honest man make phony

stock? He certainly would not.

Who made this? Who signed it? Me... I did.

Then it's got to be on

the level. That's right.

Sign the rest of them and remember

your name is Humphrey Fish.

How can I

ever forget it?

Well, my sales force!

Come right in.

Hello, Mr. Lambert.

Hi, Mr. Lambert.

Finest little sales force

this side of the border.

How'd we do today?

We did wonderful.

Get a load of this!

Wow.!

Great idea hiring girls

instead of men.

That's what I call

using psychology.

That's beautiful

psychology.

Well, girls,

here's a new batch.

There you are.

Good luck to you.

Senor, would you like

to buy some stock?

Oh. Stock?

That's $100.

That'll be four shares.

Thank you, senor.

Get a load of that.

I no more than turn my back

and she makes a sale.

They belong on the desk.

What are you doing with 'em?

Remember, for every five shares you

sell, you get one share for yourselves.

Understood? On your way.

Good luck.

Boy, oh, boy!

Give me that! I'm supposed

to take charge of the money.

Do you want some smooth-talking

crook to take it from you?

No, that's why I'm gonna keep

it. Watch out for that dough.

I'm very busy today, Harry.

Don't worry about the money.

I'm warning you!

See you later, Harry.

I've got to find a place to hide

this money so Harry don't find it.

Behind the mirror! Good idea.

Hurry up!

Oh, Harry,

no fair peeking!

I can read the lines. You got

troubles, no? I got troubles, yes!

Dagmar, find out where the Amigo

Americano has hidden that dough.

What's the big hurry? More

money's coming in. I can't wait.

Uh-huh! Maybe it's going

to be a little double-cross.

Maybe you steal the money and...

take it on the scram.

You've got me

all wrong.

I just don't trust that guy. Ah, sure.

You're just like Gus Adamson,

nice and honest.

Okay. I'll find out tonight.

That's swell. I knew you'd do it.

Stop it!

Stop.

Please stop it.

Stop it.

Stop the music.

Stop it!

Stop the music,

will ya?

As I stand beneath

your window

I wish

I were a bird

I would fly

into your window

If you would say

the word

Then we'd fly away

together

And we'd build

a little nest

Just tell me

that you're willing

And love will do

the rest

Is it yes

Or is it no

Do you love me

do you hate me

Should I stay

or should I go

Here am I

with my love

Waiting all aglow

Is it yes

Or is it

No

Oh I'm really out

to get you

No matter where

you'll be

And the moment that

I'll get you

I'll never let

you be

Bring your heart out

in the open

Oh, there you are, Amigo!

Try and hide it

if you can

You are looking at

a woman

Who's out to get

her man

A-ooo-a

ooo-a ooo-a

Is it yes

Or is it no

Do you love me, do you hate me

should I stay or go Stop it, stop it.

My life all depends how the

wind will blow Stop the music.

Is it yes or is... Please stop the samba.

Please don't let 'em

play the samba.

'Cause my life

all depends

How the wind

will blow

Don't!

Is it yes

Or is it no

Fellas, please.

Quiet, will you, fellas?

No more samba.

Please, fellas, quiet.

I've got two arms

to hold you

To hold you here

tonight

Tell me what have

you got arms for, huh

Unless to hold me tight Oh, don't.

Darling, what would be

your answer

If I begged you

for a kiss

Ah, you wouldn't

have to answer

If you could feel

like this

Whoo-whoo!

Is it yes

Or is it no

Do you love me, do you hate me

should I stay or go Stop the music.

Do we do, do we don't

turn the lights down low

Is it yes

Or is it no

Whoo!

So it's you. You take a

shortcut? Kiss me, my little fish.

You have set my blood on fire.

I'll call the fire department.

All day I try to control

myself, but it's no use.

Kiss me.

No.

I got my good name to think

about... two names to think about.

Come on.

Make like this.

Like a prune,

huh?

Was you a bugler in the Girl

Scouts? Come on! Come on!

Don't you know Dagmar

is crazy nuts for you?

Kiss me. Kiss me!

Oh, oh.

Ohhhhh!

What's the matter?

Do I affect you this way?

Dagmar? Dagmar!

My hand.

Why don't you

leave me alone?

I'm in a hurry to get to the

fiesta. You're handsome...

beautiful,

irresistible.

I'm like putty in your hands.

Come on. Kiss me.

No. If I was to kiss you,

you'd lose your respect for me.

But Dagmar is crazy mad

for you!

For you I would slave.

I would work my bones

to the fingers.

I would

sew on buttons.

A torn pocket

I would mend.

A ripped lining

I would fix.

Your suits I would keep

nice and ironed.

I would make everything

comfortable!

Always in order,

the pillows I would keep.

An extra pillow for your

head to rest on, I would have.

The pillows I would always

keep puffed for you.

Look, under the cushions, dust.!

This I would not stand for.

Your couch, look!

A tear!

I would have everything

the best for you!

Dagmar?

Yes?

I don't mean to be inquisitive. Uh-huh.

Neither do I wish

to be impolite,

but what

are you doing?

I'm doing all this
