3:06:00
When I was an ensign on a cruiser,
five pounds of cheese was missing.

3:06:06
Everybody forgot about it but me.
3:06:09
I found out a chow hound had made
a wax impression of the icebox key.

3:06:15
He confessed and I got a letter of
commendation. It's the same here.

3:06:21
We can't be sure there's a key...
3:06:24
I've got a simple plan. We tag every
key on board with the owner's name.

3:06:31
Then we strip all hands
to make sure we have all the keys.

3:06:35
Then we test each key
on the icebox padlock.

3:06:39
- The one that fits is the thief's.
- We don't know there's such a key.

3:06:44
- I say there's a key.
- The thief could toss it overboard.

3:06:49
He wouldn't do that after going
to the trouble of making it.

3:06:53
- He may hide it, but we'll find it.
- I never thought of that, sir.

3:06:59
Get on the ball. It should be fun
doing some detective work.

3:07:11
Steve, turn me in if you want to.
But this is over the line.

3:07:16
Queeg is a paranoid.
Can't you see what he's doing?

3:07:21
He's re-enacting his big triumph,
the cheese investigation.

3:07:25
He wants to be as hot as the young
Ensign Queeg. There is no key.

3:07:31
- What happened to the strawberries?
- Does it matter?

3:07:36
Would anyone but a crazy man care?
3:07:41
Steve, are you familiar with
Article 184 of Navy regulations?

3:07:46
Vaguely.
3:07:54
Listen to this. On the Caine
it's required reading. Article 184:
