say you'll give him hawaii

Hawaii? What's that? Oh, wait, is that one of those dang island territories, you can never remember those. Honestly, you probably could give it away to him, it's not like you'd miss it... but on the other hand, you can't pass up the opportunity to put one over on an unsuspecting foreigner.

So you head over to the stand and offer the guy Hawaii in exchange for all his guns and balloons. He stares at you and asks what a Hawaii is. Confound it, he knows even less about American territories than you do, and you'd probably just confuse him if you tried to explain it.

Well, you are trying to pull the wool over his eyes, so maybe you can just make something up.

hawaii is a secret spice

You tell him that Hawaii is a potent spice that's a well-kept American secret, but you can hook him up with a supply of it. And all you're asking in return is his entire stock. How can he pass up a once-in-a-lifetime offer like that?

He stares at you and asks why you can't just buy the guns and balloons like a normal customer. They're on sale, even!

But you don't have any Panamanian dollars. Of course they use dollars because everyone does in this uncreative universe. It's just that they use different dollars in each country. And since this guy doesn't seem to be falling for your brilliant con job somehow, you may need to get some actual money to pay him in.

How are you going to do that?
