If I run this, it works: 

#!/usr/bin/expect

set passwd [lindex $argv 1]
set password passwd
spawn /usr/bin/ssh [lindex $argv address@hidden $argv 2]
expect {
    -re ".*Are.*.*yes.*no.*" {
        send "yes\n"
        exp_continue
        #look for the password prompt
    }

    "*?assword:*" {
        send $passwd
        send "\n"
        interact
        #The expect command will now return
    }
}

Hmm, I see, so how am I supposed to run it?;)
