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.

1:07:00
Third, we test each key
on the icebox padlock.

1:07:04
The one that fits
will give us the name of the owner.

1:07:07
-How do we know there's such a key?
-I say there's a key.

1:07:10
Captain, what's to prevent this boy
from tossing the key overboard?

1:07:14
No. He'd never toss it after he's gone
to all the trouble making it.

1:07:19
He may try to hide it,
but we'll find it.

1:07:22
I never thought of that.
1:07:24
Don't stand there.
Get on the ball.

1:07:26
We'll have a little fun,
now that we've detective work to do.

1:07:29
Yes, sir.
1:07:39
Turn me in if you want to,
but this is it. This is over the line.

1:07:42
Queeg is a paranoid
or there's no such thing as paranoia.

1:07:44
-I warned you.
-Can't you see what he's doing?

1:07:47
He's reenacting the big triumph
of his career :

1:07:49
The cheese investigation.
1:07:51
He wants to prove he's still
the red-hot Queeg of 193T.

1:07:55
There is no key.
1:07:57
-What happened to the strawberries?
-Does it matter?

1:07:59
Is it worth turning a ship
upside-down?
