"You dislike me enough to wish me transferred to another base, preferably an enemy base." "But let us not forget Major Houlihan." "Tough, ambitious, yet greasy Major Houlihan." "Why think of only one culprit?" "Why not a pair of sweethearts in crime?" "You are sick!" "Still another colleague resents me... because of his consistent losses at the gaming tables." " The man's a fruit cake!" " And yet you, Lieutenant, also had a motive of jealousy, because I share my affections among the ladies." " You told me I was the only one!" " Ha!" "Of course, my legendary prowess with the fairer sex... was cause for envy on the part of..." "Dr. McIntyre!" "Legendary?" "I've seen you strike out in a geisha house."

"Let us not overlook the possibility of a mastermind... who commands others to do his bidding, right, Henry?" "Ah, sign what, Radar?" "I'm sorry, Pierce." "It's going very well." "A most perplexing riddle, calling for the most ingenious of solutions." "Thus I made it publicly known that there were fingerprints... to be found on the stolen articles, thereby tempting the criminal to repeat his crime... and retrieve his ill-gotten booty, or his ill-booten gotty." "Which he has done!" "However, in so doing, he has exposed himself." "Because I took the precaution of treating the stolen articles... with hydrochloric-alpha-terracin." "What's hydrochloric-alpha-terracin?" "A chemical which is at this moment... coloring the culprit's fingernails..." "blue." "Look... no blue." "Yeah, I know, there couldn't be." "I was bluffing."
