Col. Sherman T. Potter : It's amazing how much I can get done without even showing up. Thank you, son.
Col. Sherman T. Potter : Oh, uh, yes, sir. There's one other thing. When you were reachin' for the phone, you knocked over your wife's picture, and you broke the glass.
Col. Sherman T. Potter : It's okay. I'm sure I didn't mean to.
