And here's the star of Says who, Henry Morgan. Thank you.
Joey Adams
Thank you very kindly and good evening. We have an interesting panel ready to play Says who. Before I introduce them to you, let's listen to these words of interest.
Henry Morgan
Hey, what do you think of my new swept Wing 58 Dodge? Ernie, ain't she a beaut? Boy, that's really a big car.
Joey Adams
Big.
Henry Morgan
I'll say she's big. I. I'll stay here by the grill and you go take a look at those swept wing fins at the rear.
Joey Adams
Okay.
Dagmar
This is the longest, lowest car I ever saw.
Henry Morgan
Come on back by the door, I'll show you the inside.
Dagmar
Okay.
Henry Morgan
Now look inside.
Dagmar
Wow, this Dodge is big inside.
Henry Morgan
Look how wide the seats are.
Joey Adams
Who are those people in here?
Henry Morgan
The neighbors. I'm charging them a dollar an hour to sit there. Come on.
Joey Adams
Wow, you really got a lot of car here.
Henry Morgan
And with all this, Dodge is priced below 59 different models of the low price field. Hey, you want to go for a ride?
Joey Adams
Let me sit down a minute. I'm exhausted. And now let's meet our panel. First, Joey Adams.
Dagmar
Well, good evening everybody.
Joey Adams
And next, Dagomar.
Orson Bean
Hello everybody.
Joey Adams
And Orson Bean.
Vincent Price
You know, from right to left, this panel looks like an egg sandwich.
Joey Adams
You're a nice looking slice of bread. And that is our panel. Panel, I know you know the rules, but what can I do? We play a voice which you try to identify the listener suggesting the voice gets $15. If you fail to come up with the right answer, we send the listener up. Ben, Russ. Wristwatch. Now, in case the voice goes by too fast for you, you have the text of what is said on a card in front of you. Let's play a little old says who. The first voice was suggested by Frida Marie Fructing of Hudson, New York.
Norma Shearer
Zetiganian, Irwin. 385 Br Broadway. Zadikov, John. 4646 Audubon, Zadikov, Jack. 200 West 94. Zadikov, Anna. Mrs. 310 Dykom. Street.
Joey Adams
May we have the offstage announcer identify that voice, please?
Henry Morgan
That voice belonged to the well known actor, Vincent Price. The panel doesn't know that Mr. Price is backstage and can hear everything they say.
Joey Adams
Very interesting. All right, panel, let's play a little. Says who? Joey Adams, why don't you start?
Dagmar
Well, it sounds like an undertaker taking.
Joey Adams
Orders on a good day.
Dagmar
It's a roll call of some kind.
Joey Adams
Yeah, in a way.
Dagmar
An honor roll? No, an onion roll.
Joey Adams
What do you call an onion roll?
Dagmar
Well, this fella sounds very sad, Henry. Is he an unhappy kind of a guy?
Joey Adams
You mean day in and day out or just when he was doing this?
Dagmar
Well, I mean, is this indicative of anything about him personally? No, when I say indicative, I'm using the subjunctive.
Joey Adams
I was following you with the imperative.
Orson Bean
I never know what they're talking about.
Dagmar
Now, this man, is he sad as a person?
Joey Adams
I don't think so.
Dagmar
Is he sad in what he was doing here?
Joey Adams
I guess it unnerved him a little.
Dagmar
Does it have anything to do with what he's reading here?
Joey Adams
No, it has nothing to do.
Dagmar
Reads everything starting with Z.
Joey Adams
It could be. Dagnar. You're on.
Orson Bean
Does he ever wear a uniform?
Joey Adams
Not to my knowledge.
Orson Bean
Is this man in show business?
Joey Adams
Yes.
Orson Bean
Is he an actor?
Joey Adams
Yes.
Orson Bean
Is he a movie star?
Joey Adams
Yes.
Orson Bean
He's not in sports then? He is in show business. Hmm. I was hoping it was Joe DiMaggio or somebody like that.
Joey Adams
Because he's an actor and he's in show business. That's a nice hope, dear.
Orson Bean
Well, is this a young man?
Dagmar
Can I tell you something, Dagba? You're talking and I don't understand you at all.
Orson Bean
I just wanted to see how it felt. Honey, is this man about 35 or 50?
Joey Adams
That's right. Is he a leading man in the sense that. What?
Orson Bean
Well, is he the star of the picture or is he the second lead?
Joey Adams
Which picture, dear?
Orson Bean
Whatever one I'm trying to think of. Does he do musicals?
Joey Adams
I don't think so. And we go to Orson Dean.
Vincent Price
Does he always like to read the phone book?
Joey Adams
You're right. That was from the phone book.
Vincent Price
And he must have felt strong that day because he opened it way down at the end. I think I know Erwin Zakabouti.
Norma Shearer
Enough.
Vincent Price
Can I take a wild guess?
Joey Adams
I. You might as well.
Vincent Price
The name, the voice sounded familiar. It's not Vincent Price.
Joey Adams
Yes, it is. And here he is. Hello, Vincent. Mr. Price, you will forgive me if I send $15 to Frida Marie Fruchting of Hudson, New York. I will.
Vincent Price
That's a relative of Erwin Zuck Booty.
Joey Adams
And I must say I thought that was awfully nice of you to do the telephone book for us. I don't think it's going to be the hit record of all time.
Norma Shearer
No? I saw Jack Benny do it a couple of weeks ago.
Joey Adams
Yeah? Where?
Norma Shearer
He did it on a TV show. I thought it was a great piece of material.
Joey Adams
The phone book. Yes, I was out that night.
Orson Bean
I saw that. It was good. Vincent, it was so nice to see you.
Joey Adams
Dear Vin, you are very kind in joining our panel. Let's play a voice for you and see how this thing works out. Ladies and gentlemen and panel, the voice you heard at the beginning of the show is this one. And it was suggested by Mrs. Margaret Shirey of Beavertown, Pennsylvania.
Henry Morgan
Have you ever been in heaven? While I was last night.
Joey Adams
May we have our offstage announcer identify that voice, please?
Henry Morgan
The singer you just heard was none other than one of baseball's all time greats. The Yankee Clipper Joe DiMaggio.
Joey Adams
True. Let's play a little old. Says who? And Dagmar, dear, let's start with you.
Orson Bean
Was he singing this song in front of an audience?
Joey Adams
Not really.
Orson Bean
Was he alone on the stage when he sang it?
Joey Adams
No.
Orson Bean
Was he singing to a girl?
Joey Adams
Gee, I don't know.
Orson Bean
Did he do this in a movie?
Joey Adams
Yes, as a matter of fact.
Orson Bean
Does he play romantic leads?
Joey Adams
Yes.
Orson Bean
Does he usually wear a hat over one eye?
Joey Adams
You mean out in the street?
Orson Bean
No. When he's working in a movie?
Joey Adams
No, not when he's working in a movie. He doesn't.
Orson Bean
He doesn't play gangster movies?
Joey Adams
I don't think so.
Orson Bean
And we call me Victor Mature. I. I thought it might be Victor Mature.
Joey Adams
Does he wear a hat over one eye?
Orson Bean
Yes.
Vincent Price
Victor Mature wears a toga over one eye.
Orson Bean
Well, I didn't know how to say it. Thanks, sweetie.
Vincent Price
I wouldn't recognize him without his sheet.
Joey Adams
Missed that picture with the hat. Orson Bean.
Vincent Price
Is this fellow a professional singer? No, no, he was an actor who sang in this one picture. He was an actor? Well, to tell you the truth, he was a personality.
Joey Adams
That's right.
Vincent Price
But not primarily an actor.
Joey Adams
Not primarily.
Vincent Price
Was this a short feature?
Joey Adams
He was. No, it was a full length picture.
Vincent Price
He wasn't one of the Three Stooges or something?
Joey Adams
No, he's a personality.
Vincent Price
I see. Did he make. He didn't make a lot of pictures that I take it.
Joey Adams
No.
Vincent Price
Well, I mean, somebody like Will Rogers. No, he was an actor. Will Rogers?
Joey Adams
He was sort of an actor.
Orson Bean
Yeah.
Vincent Price
This fellow, was he a politician?
Joey Adams
No. And we go to Vincent Price.
Norma Shearer
Was this man famous for playing in a musical on Broadway with one leg?
Joey Adams
Could you give me the name of a musical with one leg?
Norma Shearer
I saw one last night. But this was another one. This was called Knickerbocker Holiday Time Ago.
Joey Adams
No, Vincent, I. I try very hard not to mislead anyone. He was essentially a personality.
Norma Shearer
A personality, huh?
Joey Adams
In a sense. In this picture that is.
Norma Shearer
Was it. He was never a politician?
Joey Adams
No.
Norma Shearer
I mean, who left politics for show business or vice versa. You know, like John Cabot Lodge, none of that stuff?
Joey Adams
No.
Norma Shearer
Has he ever worked nightclubs?
Joey Adams
Not to my knowledge.
Norma Shearer
He doesn't sing professionally. That's obvious.
Joey Adams
All right, on that obvious note, we go to Joey Adams.
Dagmar
What's obvious about that?
Joey Adams
You're usually the one who criticizes singing.
Dagmar
Well, I like his singing.
Henry Morgan
You do?
Dagmar
Yeah. Not for a human being, but this fella is a singer and it was a full length picture.
Joey Adams
I didn't say he was a singer.
Dagmar
He sang in a full length picture?
Joey Adams
Yeah.
Dagmar
Didn't they make it into a short?
Joey Adams
They would have been well advised.
Dagmar
He's not an actor. He's not a singer. He's a personality. Is he an entertainer?
Joey Adams
No.
Dagmar
Is he of the sporting world?
Joey Adams
Yes.
Dagmar
As a sportsman or a sporting personality? Did he become an entertainer? Only because he was a great figure in sports?
Joey Adams
Yes.
Dagmar
Football?
Joey Adams
No.
Dagmar
Baseball?
Joey Adams
Yes.
Dagmar
Baseball figure. Is he popular today as an actor or in show business?
Joey Adams
Let's say this way, he's. He's well liked.
Dagmar
A well liked baseball player. Is he still active as a ball player? No, he's not active as a ball player. Was he in the outfield?
Joey Adams
Yes.
Dagmar
Is he living?
Joey Adams
Yup.
Dagmar
A living outfielder. I know him.
Joey Adams
Of course you do.
Dagmar
It's on the tip of my tongue. And I'm not going to let Dagmar read it either.
Orson Bean
Joe DiMaggio.
Dagmar
Oh, shut up.
Joey Adams
Dag. How did you ever get to read the tip of Joey's tongue?
Orson Bean
Just lucky, I guess.
Joey Adams
I guess so. So a lot of rail operating here. Well, that sends $15 to Mrs. Margaret Shirey of Beavertown, Pennsylvania. You see, Vincent, what a gyp game this is, Basically. And you see how honest I try to be. Yes. We'll get back to the game in a minute. In the meantime, here's something for coffee drinkers everywhere. Listen to this. Hello, folks, this is Price Wright, your shopping reporter.
Henry Morgan
About to welcome the thousandth customer here.
Joey Adams
At our new store in Sunken Heights.
Henry Morgan
And here she comes. Congratulations, madam.
Orson Bean
Step aside, Busty. You're blocking traffic.
Joey Adams
You don't understand.
Dagmar
I'm from the network.
Orson Bean
Network schmetwork. There's a big introductory sale in there on decaf.
Joey Adams
Yes, madam.
Henry Morgan
Now, if you'll just tell us your name, I'll.
Joey Adams
Look.
Orson Bean
Decaf. There's a sale. 10 cents off the regular size jar, so move.
Joey Adams
But, Mrs. Decaf, this will only take.
Orson Bean
I'm not decaf. It's the coffee. Nestle's Decaf. D, E, C, A, F. You know the feel. Wonderful coffee, 97% caffeine free.
Joey Adams
Yes, yes.
Henry Morgan
Well, Mrs. Decaf, did you know.
Orson Bean
Just step aside and we'll forget the whole thing.
Dagmar
But I'm trying to.
Orson Bean
Oh, scream.
Henry Morgan
Oh, madam, really, you wouldn't.
Joey Adams
Yes.
Henry Morgan
New instant decaf is something to shout about. Try decaf coffee now while you get 10 cents off the regular size. Supplies are limited, so hurry. Save 10 cents on decaf at your grocers now.
Joey Adams
All right, panel. This voice was suggested by Ben Blakeney of New York City, New York.
Orson Bean
Oh, Papa. Let us get this over and forget it. I can't forgive myself for having made the whole house miserable over a tankard of porter.
Joey Adams
May we have our offstage announcer identify that voice?
Henry Morgan
That was one of Hollywood's most famous names, Norma Shiro.
Joey Adams
Let's play a little old says who? And Orson Beam will start with you.
Vincent Price
Say, the crowd is abuzz. Is this from a Vitaphone feature?
Joey Adams
You're pretty close. Pretty close.
Vincent Price
This girl was a leading lady, I presume?
Joey Adams
Absolutely.
Vincent Price
She sounds kind of lovey and all like that. Like she might have been making love to William Powell or one of them. Splendid, fellas.
Joey Adams
I will go to Vincent Price and see does this thing fall apart.
Norma Shearer
Well, I must say, the dialogue sounds like it was a silent picture. But it didn't. But was it a costume picture?
Joey Adams
It was of its period.
Norma Shearer
Was she a drunkard in the picture?
Joey Adams
No, this lady made the whole picture sober.
Norma Shearer
She made the. And she got an Academy Award for it. That's for sure.
Joey Adams
I'm not even sure they had Academy Awards then.
Norma Shearer
Was this girl a beauty?
Joey Adams
Yes. Abigail. To Joey Adams.
Dagmar
She says, I can't forgive myself for having made the whole house miserable over a tankard of porter. Did she spill it?
Joey Adams
No, she drank it.
Dagmar
She's the porter that got tanked. Is that.
Joey Adams
No, I. Vincent, you can drink a tank of porter without being stiff. You know.
Dagmar
You're talking to me.
Joey Adams
Oh, I'm sorry. You're right. You can't.
Dagmar
You're talking to me and you're answering him. I don't get it?
Joey Adams
Shows you what a two faced guy I am.
Dagmar
I like them both though, Henry. Now let's get to this. Would I distinguish her from any other actress? In other words, was she the kind of a girl played all dramatic heavy parts like with long tankards and things or whatever it is? Or was she a bright gay girl? Like what I know from certain mannerisms away or a caricature or a face or. Or something that hung down or stood up or anything.
Joey Adams
Yes. And we go to Dagmar.
Dagmar
Go ahead. Now read my lips.
Orson Bean
All right, I'll do that. Did she ever play in a movie where the court sent her to the Giller ring?
Joey Adams
Just a moment. I have to speak to my lawyer. Joey, what does your friend mean?
Dagmar
She means margarine.
Orson Bean
No, Gillerine. I don't like to say it because they chop their heads off. It's an ugly picture, huh? Did she ever play in a picture.
Joey Adams
Like that in the Gillerine?
Orson Bean
Where they sent her to the Gill?
Joey Adams
I think so. Dag.
Orson Bean
Is she a tall girl?
Joey Adams
Oh, she did my information services for her. She did have a gillerine.
Orson Bean
I did get the. From the tip of your tongue. Is she a tall girl with high cheekbones?
Joey Adams
Just a minute now. She's a medium sized girl with medium high cheekbones.
Dagmar
I know. A tall girl with a short built. Is that anything?
Joey Adams
She's built shorter after the Gillerine.
Dagmar
Marjorie.
Joey Adams
No, it's guillory that makes it slippery. And we go to Orson Beam.
Vincent Price
Was this girl in A Tale of Two Cities?
Joey Adams
Was this girl in a Tale? No.
Vincent Price
How many pictures were the guillerine was.
Joey Adams
There this girl happened to be in a Gillerin picture? Boy, am I tired of that word. I'm tired of that picture. I'm pretty tired of the girl too. Vincent Price.
Norma Shearer
Did she play in. She's retired now.
Joey Adams
Yes, she's retired.
Norma Shearer
Yes. And did she. She was a very good actress, I think. Correct. My. She was a beauty too. But she was a better actress than. She was a beauty.
Joey Adams
Right?
Norma Shearer
She played in a picture called Mary Antoinette.
Joey Adams
She did that.
Norma Shearer
And her name was Norma Shearer.
Joey Adams
Absolute.
Norma Shearer
It was that Gillerine that gave it away to me, you know.
Joey Adams
Well, just wait.
Norma Shearer
You're great, dad.
Orson Bean
Thank you, darling. You're so right, mister.
Norma Shearer
She might be the only woman who could confound the Gillerin, you know.
Dagmar
We've been here 36 weeks. Vincent Price comes in, guesses the first one who needs him.
Joey Adams
I'll tell you the truth. We do. Which sends $15 to Ben Blakeney of Gillerine, New York. If you folks at home Would like to suggest a voice for says who. Here's Hal Sims. To tell you how you can do it.

Joey Adams
All right, Hal. Okay, panel, this voice was suggested by Mary Hollingsworth of Columbus, Ohio.
Henry Morgan
Well, I'm still trying to be one, although I'm getting a little old now, and joints are getting a little creaky as I go around the joints.
Vincent Price
And I don't do as much chasing.
Joey Adams
May we have the offstage announcer identify that voice, please?
Henry Morgan
You were listening to the voice of Earl Wilson, whose popular column appears in the New York Post and other papers throughout the country.
Joey Adams
Anybody want to play a little Old Says who? Joey Adams. Why don't you start?
Dagmar
This man with the creaky joints, has he ever been arrested?
Joey Adams
It's possible, but I. I never read of it.
Dagmar
Does he mean by joints, illegitimate places?
Joey Adams
I don't think so.
Dagmar
Would this guy be creaking in my house?
Joey Adams
Well, these days he'd be creaking almost anywhere he went. According to him. That's what he says.
Dagmar
Well, would he come to your home?
Joey Adams
If invited?
Dagmar
Would you invite him to your home? Yes, Then I would invite him to my home. No. Why? We got the same mutual people that we like, and yet still we don't like. And if you don't want them, I don't want them.
Joey Adams
I was looking at the other way. I was figuring he'd come to my house. But, oh, well.
Vincent Price
You have a nicer house, Henry.
Dagmar
I'll be glad to clean it up.
Joey Adams
Your house?
Dagmar
No, my joints.
Joey Adams
And we go to Dagmar.
Orson Bean
When he's in joints. Does he do what he does in front of everybody?
Joey Adams
How's that?
Orson Bean
You're talking about joints. But I'll tell you something. Does this man always have a lot of pencils with him?
Joey Adams
You're going to tell me something. Does this man have a lot of pencils with him? Yes, he has pencils with him.
Orson Bean
And he travels around quite a bit. I recognize that man's voice. I'm pretty sure I knew who this man is. This man writes a column?
Joey Adams
Yeah, for the Post.
Vincent Price
Does he sell something?
Orson Bean
This man is a very dear friend of mine. Adore him. It's Earl Wilson.
Joey Adams
You're absolutely right, Joey.
Dagmar
He's been in my home many times.
Joey Adams
I know it, Joey. He told me. And he's pretty tired of your house.
Vincent Price
He's been at my house, Henry. He tried to sell me some pencils.
Orson Bean
He is a darling fella. I love Earl.
Dagmar
Do you get rid of those creeks.
Joey Adams
Do you care to make a remark about Earl? Before we.
Norma Shearer
I thought it was Gary Cooper. So.
Dagmar
You get one more laugh.
Joey Adams
I'm more than you, Toby.
Henry Morgan
Hold it.
Joey Adams
Sends $15 to Mary Hollingsworth of Columbus, Ohio. Here's a dinger. Each week we give people at home a chance to play. Says who? We play a voice. The panel asks a couple of questions and you take it from there. If you think you know whose voice it is, you're asked to mail us a postcard. Let's listen to just a portion of the voice we played for you last week.
Orson Bean
I remember that it happened in the moonlight.
Joey Adams
And I'll never know exactly how I. That was the voice of an all time favorite in show business, Charlotte Greenwood. And the card we received with the right answer and bearing the earliest postmark belonged to William J. Weiss, P.O. box 61, San Mateo, California. Very good work, Doc. You're $25, which isn't much, but it's nice, isn't it? It is on its way. Now, here's another chance for everybody at home to play. Says who? Listen to this voice.
Henry Morgan
Though the Mayor could no longer be seen, you could hear him yelling, trap. Run for your lives. Kruglemaus leaped from the top of the cheese right down into the crowd, shouting its. And even though Hannibal and the professor pulled the Mayor out of the hole.
Dagmar
Almost immediately, he too leaped into the.
Henry Morgan
Crowd, yelling, it's a trap. A man made trap. Run for your lives. And the mice flat in all directions.
Joey Adams
It's for people at home. We can't identify the voice, but maybe, panel, you could give people at home a few clues. Vincent, do you want to try?
Norma Shearer
Well, does this man draw for a living or did he start out as a draftsman, a cartoonist?
Joey Adams
He may have. I wouldn't know.
Norma Shearer
That's a great answer that gives.
Joey Adams
You can't find more honest answers.
Norma Shearer
I know.
Joey Adams
Look, Vincent, if you want wonderful answers, go back on the $64,000 thing. We go to Joey Adams, Vincent.
Dagmar
This is the only program where the quiz master knows less than the quizzers.
Joey Adams
Well, it does give it a certain charm, doesn't it?
Dagmar
Not quizzers, I should say. Quizzees. I'm a quizzee if you're the quizmaster. Right.
Joey Adams
Exquisite.
Dagmar
All right. This man is in show business, sir. I beg your pardon?
Joey Adams
Oh, I thought. I thought I had said something.
Dagmar
Is he in show business?
Joey Adams
You bet.
Dagmar
Is he an actor?
Joey Adams
You bet. Well, you are.
Dagmar
Does he do voices?
Joey Adams
Mainly his. And we go to Dagmar.
Orson Bean
Does this man ever read Dark?
Dagmar
He mainly does his voice.
Joey Adams
Well, yeah, mainly.
Orson Bean
Does he write children's books?
Joey Adams
No, he doesn't. And I think, really, at this point, since we've given people at home so much help that they can barely stand anymore, I think you're right. This is gonna be guessed by somebody who knew the voice. That's about the size of it. And I'm afraid that's as far as we ought to go. Now, if you think you know the right answer, would you write it on a card and put down your name and address and mail it to says who? Contest Post Office Box 2150, Grand Central Station, N.Y. 17. The correct answer with the earliest postmark wins $25. Remember, only postcard entries are eligible. You must mail your card no later than midnight this Wednesday. Duplicate prizes will be awarded for ties and good luck. Now, let's try another one. Before my voice gets out next week, you'll have to guess who I am, if I live. This voice was suggested by Richard G. Polk of Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania.
Vincent Price
And one of our friends said to Congressman Judd, you know what's the matter with you Americans? And Congressman Judd was, of course, interested. And he said, now, tell me, what is it? He said, you are too aggressively friendly.
Joey Adams
May we have the offstage announcer identify that voice, please?
Henry Morgan
The voice you heard was that of General Carlos Romulo, former president of the Philippines.
Joey Adams
Very interesting little round this time. And, Dagmar, Would you start it, old girl?
Orson Bean
He sounds like he's from a foreign country, so I'll ask, is he an American?
Joey Adams
No.
Dagmar
Wait a.
Joey Adams
Well, that's right. That made sense.
Norma Shearer
All right. Sure.
Orson Bean
Thank you. Does he spend a lot of time in America?
Joey Adams
Yes, he does.
Orson Bean
Is he from India, that man? Chris Aminuen?
Joey Adams
You want to go back to the guillotine for a minute? Chris Aminuin?
Orson Bean
Yes.
Joey Adams
No, dear. And we go to Orson Bean.
Vincent Price
Is he an ambassador of some kind?
Joey Adams
Sort of.
Vincent Price
Is this fellow from India?
Joey Adams
No.
Vincent Price
Is he from Russia?
Joey Adams
No, sir.
Vincent Price
Is he from behind the Iron Curtain?
Joey Adams
No, he ain't.
Vincent Price
Does this program go behind the Iron Curtain?
Joey Adams
I. They may slip it under because I.
Vincent Price
Was gonna say lots of luck.
Joey Adams
Yeah, I know. I know that. We'll do anything to confuse him. Can you. Can you imagine this thing in Moscow? We'd be shot on the way in.
Orson Bean
They'd adore us.
Joey Adams
They'd adore you, dear. Because in some things they have great taste.
Norma Shearer
This man is not an actor.
Joey Adams
No.
Norma Shearer
He was in ambassador work. But he wasn't employed by the government, was he? As a sort of ambassador of goodwill?
Joey Adams
No.
Norma Shearer
No.
Henry Morgan
Bad will, huh?
Joey Adams
Well, when he was working for us, he wasn't an ambassador.
Norma Shearer
He wasn't. Was he a liquor salesman?
Henry Morgan
No.
Norma Shearer
This is completely irrelevant.
Henry Morgan
That's right.
Joey Adams
You pass. And we go to Joey Adams.
Dagmar
He talks about the Americans being aggressively friendly. He's a foreigner. He came to America as an ambassador. One of the South American countries.
Joey Adams
No.
Dagmar
Connected in any way with that type of country.
Joey Adams
In a way. Let's say that where he comes from, they share lots of things in common with some of our South American neighbors.
Dagmar
That's very clear.
Joey Adams
I wanted to make that easy.
Dagmar
Is he. Is he like the Philippines or any of those kind of countries? Yeah, the Philippines, Yeah. Or the other kind of country.
Joey Adams
The Philippines Sea.
Dagmar
The Philippine Sea.
