"How did you know it was a new code book?" "You wouldn't be so upset if it was an old code book." "Now, be honest, would you?" "I suppose not." "Schultz, search the men!" "Jawohl, Herr Kommandant." "Wait a minute." "I want to go on record as protesting this search, a violation of the Geneva Convention." "Your protest has been duly noted and rejected." "Go ahead, Schultz." "I would also like to point out you interrupted me." "I was just reading to the men from this book," "Mein Kampf, by Adolph..." "Hitler." "Oh, go on, Colonel Hogan." "You stopped at the most interesting part." "Yeah." "Tell us what happens after he says he's gonna conquer the world." "Boy, I can't wait to see how it ends." "See how anxious they are?" "Would you care to read a couple of chapters to them, sir?" "Some other time." "Schultz, I gave you an order." "Search the men!" "Jawohl, Herr Kommandant." "Schultz, don't tickle." "Shh!" "KLINK:" "Wait a minute." "That one over there, he was in my office." "Step forward." "Oh, oh, no, sir, please, please." "That tickles." "Never mind!" "Step back." "Schultz, search them all." "One of them has it." "Jawohl." "Ah, General Burkhalter, what a pleasure to see you again, sir." "Klink, I can get out by myself." "Of course you can, General." "I never doubted that for one minute, not for one minute, sir." "And, oh, how is your dear wife, the charming and delightful Frau General?" "In the first place, my wife is neither delightful or charming." "In the second place, this isn't a social visit, it's official." "It's official." "Yes, sir, it is official." "What are you doing?" "The code book." "Isn't that the new code book, Series G, Klink?" "Yes, sir, it is." "Well!" "You know the regulations." "This code book is not supposed to leave your office." "It didn't, sir." "No, what I mean is," "I don't know how it got into my hands." "I'll talk to you in your office." "Yes, sir." "Colonel Klink?" "Yes, what is it?" "Aren't you forgetting the apology you owe us, sir?" "What apology?" "Uh, for saying they stole it." "I don't know what apology!" "Nobody contradicts Colonel Klink!" "Around here I'm the supreme authority." "Nobody tells me what to do." "BURKHALTER:" "Klink!" "Yes, sir, General, I'm coming." "( telegraph pulsing )" "Kinch, have you reached headquarters yet?" "No, not yet, but I should pick them up any minute." "When you do reach headquarters tell them about the new code book." "Tell them we photographed it and we'll start transmitting it." "Carter?" "How long to develop that film?" "About an hour, Colonel." "I'll start on it right away." "Oh, you know, just to make sure," "I took two pictures of every page using a different exposure." "You know, because after all, with something as important as..." "Oh, no." "What's the matter, Carter?" "Don't you feel well?" "I may faint." "Why, what happened?" "No film in the camera?" "I forgot to put it in." "Boy, you can always depend on me to foul things up." "You'd be better off without me." "I-I'm no good." "I'm stupid." "Why don't you get rid of me?" "Because I can't spare a good man like you." "( telegraph pulsing )" "A good man?" "I ought to be court-martialed." "Don't tempt me." "KINCH:" "I've got headquarters, Colonel." "What should I tell them?" "Just what I told you, except there'll be a slight delay in getting it to them." "Right." "Colonel?" "How are we going to get another crack at that code book?" "Yeah, you can bet that Klink will keep it in the safe from now on." "Edison once said that genius was one-tenth inspiration, nine-tenths perspiration." "Well, that's great, if you're inventing the electric light, but what's that got to do with the code book?" "We'll supply the inspiration, let Klink supply the perspiration." "Klink, we've had some disturbing reports recently." "Yes, Herr General." "I understand that things have not been going too well at the Russian front." "But the Fuhrer will think of something." "He always does." "I'm not talking about the Russian front." "I mean right here in this camp." "Here in my camp?" "It may not be your camp much longer." "( laughing )" "General Burkhalter, please, don't joke about a thing like that." "I never joke." "Our monitors have been picking up" "Allied broadcasts, originating from Germany." "Oh, that's an outrage!" "Now those men should be caught and put into a prison camp." "We think they already are in a prison camp-- this one." "Here?" "That is absurd and ridiculous." "It is totally and completely impossible." "What?" "!" "I mean it isn't very likely." "How could anyone run a radio right under my nose?" "It would be the most obvious place." "Naturally, if such a radio is found here in camp, operated by prisoners, it would be very unpleasant for you." "You mean they might take my command away from me?"

"Jawohl, Herr Kommandant, to get rid of the radio transmitter right away." "But Herr Kommandant, what if he hasn't got one?" "Oh, I know, I know." "Tell him to get one right away."

"Klink, will you shut up?" "Yes, sir, I certainly will." "Oh, shut up." "Yes, sir." "I cannot understand it." "I was sure it was a radio signal we were picking up." "It never failed before." "Oh, sir, I wouldn't call that a failure." "It's a marvelous machine for tracking down coffee pots." "Phew, that was a close one." "I thought they had us." "They do have us." "We don't have the new code to send." "Even if we did, we wouldn't be able to send it with that signal beam just waiting for us to start using the radio." "Hey, what's going on?" "They've got a directional finder that spotted our radio." "We seem to have a couple of sticky wickets." "Let's take care of one sticky wicket at a time."

"One of the boys dropped a flash bulb." "Did it startle you?" "Of course not!" "I was just looking for my pen." "What are you doing here?" "What's that camera for?" "Colonel, I don't know whether you're aware of how the men in this camp feel about you." "So what?" "I feel the same way about them." "They know that." "That's why you're so popular and respected." "I am?" "And how." "They know your job isn't an easy one, and they-they admire your fairness." "Well, I..." "I always try to do my best." "You're right, Colonel Hogan, this is not an easy job." "Well, now, the men, they like me, do they?" "They even have a pet name for you, sir, just among themselves." "Oh, they do?" "What is it?" "They call you Klink the Fink." "Fink?" "What's that?" "It's short for "Firm, Impartial Nazi Kommandant." Fink." "Oh, that's very nice of them." "Klink the Fink." "Ooh, it has a nice sound to it." "Wait until I tell them about this at the officers club." "Yeah, yeah, well, anyway, you see, the fellows would like some pictures of you, you know." "Oh?" "To hang in their lockers, send home with their letters." "Would you mind posing for them?" "Oh, no, not at all." "Oh, good." "How about this?" "Uh, uh... no, the background's wrong, background's wrong." "Um..." "Yeah, that's more typical." "Why don't you sit in the chair?"

"Say "cheese."" "Cheese?" "Forget it." "Now one for the ladies." "Maybe a profile, huh?" "Uh-huh, uh-huh..." "Oh!" "This way, this way." "We want to get your best side." "Oh, yes." "All right now..."

"Look... if your toe is aching and somebody hits you on the head with a hammer, you'd soon forget about your toe, wouldn't you?" "Right." "What's that got to do with bombs?" "Don't you get it?" "We plant a phony bomb in the prison yard." "When they hear it ticking, they'll think it's a real one."

"Hey, looks like a bomb, doesn't it?" "It is a bomb." "One of yours." "Oh, come on, Colonel." "I wouldn't leave a bomb lying around." "You know the rules about littering."
