Sorry if this was already brought up
I don't know if any of you remember that hilarious scene at 4 - 26:30
when the attorney for the Spanish slave owners asks the court to return the ship Amistad to his clients "Jose Ruiz" and "Pedro Montes". He mistakenly points at Pedro and calls him Jose Ruiz. Jose then corrects him by saying "yo so Ruiz" which means "I am Ruiz". The attorney doesn't know any Spanish, he calls him "Yoso Ruiz" !!!
