1:05:06
Have any of you an explanation
for the quart of missing strawberries?

1:05:12
There can be no doub t
someone finished them for us.

1:05:15
You are all appointed
a board of investigation...

1:05:17
to find out who's responsible
for this theft.

1:05:20
Mr. Maryk, you are the senior member.
1:05:22
You mean in the morning?
1:05:25
Now does not mean in the morning.
1:05:27
It means 0147.
1:05:29
I expeot a full report by 0800.
1:05:36
All right! Pipe down. The faster we get
this done, the faster we get sleep.

1:05:40
-Send in the stewards, one at a time.
-Yes, sir.

1:05:43
If the strawberries had been poisoned
our problems would have been solved.

1:05:49
Strawberries, anyone?
1:05:58
-Unsatisfactory.
-I'm sorry, Captain.

1:06:01
We kept the mess boys and the cook
most of the night.

1:06:04
They may be lying, but it's a dead end.
1:06:06
We couldn't keep covering
the ground endlessly.

1:06:08
You spent the entire night
and accomplished nothing...

1:06:11
while I've thought
the whole thing out very clearly.

1:06:14
Did it ever occur to you that some boy
made a duplicate key to the icebox?

1:06:19
There's no indication--
1:06:21
There's some things we must assume
in order to be a good officer.

1:06:26
Baok in '3T when I was
a lowly ensign on a cruiser...

1:06:29
five pounds of cheese was missing.
1:06:32
Everybody was willing
to forget about it. But not me.

1:06:35
I snooped and found some chowhound
had made a wax impression of the key.

1:06:40
I made him confess and got myself
a nice letter of commendation.

1:06:44
This looks to me
like exactly the same situation.

1:06:46
-We can't be sure there's--
-You've tried every other solution.

1:06:50
I've worked out a very simple plan.
1:06:52
First, we collect every key on this ship
and tag it with the name of the owner.

1:06:56
Second, we strip all hands
to make sure we've got all keys.
