3:05:04
I expect a full report by 08:00.
3:05:10
Pipe down. Let's get this done
so we can get some sleep.

3:05:14
Send in the stewards.
3:05:17
If only the strawberries had been
poisoned, we'd be done with this.

3:05:26
We've learned nothing further about
the missing quart of strawberries.

3:05:33
- Unsatisfactory.
- Sorry, Captain.

3:05:36
We kept the mess boys and the cook
most of the night. It's a dead end.

3:05:41
- We went over it all endlessly.
- You accomplished nothing.

3:05:46
I've thought the whole thing out.
3:05:49
Someone made a duplicate key
to the icebox.

3:05:53
- There's no indication...
- Some things we must assume.

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.
