Col. Wilhelm Klink : [there's a knock at his office door] Come in.
[Colonel Hogan enters]
Col. Wilhelm Klink : Ah, Colonel Hogan. Colonel Hogan, this is Major Kuehn. He is temporarily second... He's second in command.
Major Hans Kuehn : I am the new executive officer. And you are the famous Colonel Hogan, whose men have unable to escape in 293 attempts.
Col. Robert E. Hogan : 291. Don't give me credit for the two guards.
Col. Wilhelm Klink : We cover that.
Major Hans Kuehn : Colonel Hogan, I want to warn you. If anything should happen to Colonel Klink...
Col. Wilhelm Klink : Happen?
Major Hans Kuehn : An accident. Or a replacement in the noble course of military routine. At any rate, Colonel Hogan, if anything should happen to Colonel Klink, you will find yourself against an even more iron-willed adversary.
Col. Wilhelm Klink : Impossible!
Col. Robert E. Hogan : Uh, who might that be?
Major Hans Kuehn : Myself, Colonel. I will show you the kind of men you will be dealing with. Beginning tonight, I took the liberty of doubling the guards outside the perimeter.
Col. Wilhelm Klink : Now, just a minute!
Col. Robert E. Hogan : If there haven't been any escapes, why double the guards?
Col. Wilhelm Klink : Yes, why?
Major Hans Kuehn : To put an end to those attempts.
Col. Wilhelm Klink : Now, see here, Major. May I remind you that *I* am the kommandant here, and as such, *I* make the decisions?
Major Hans Kuehn : Very interesting. I must remember to mention it to my dear Uncle Karl when I write him.
Col. Wilhelm Klink : Uncle Karl?
Major Hans Kuehn : Yes, uh, Field Marshal Karl Von Streicher of the General Staff. His specialty is military protocol. Have you read his book on the chain of command?
Col. Wilhelm Klink : No.
Col. Robert E. Hogan : I have. Not a laugh in the book. Well, look, I've gotta be moving along. You probably want to get started on a letter to your dear Uncle Karl.
Col. Wilhelm Klink : Just a minute! As I said, I make the decisions here, and I have decided to tighten security by doubling the guard around the perimeter.
Major Hans Kuehn : Very wise, Colonel. Perhaps the letter to my uncle can wait. Good day, Colonel Hogan.
