- [Col. William Edwards can be seen speaking with Sgt. Baker, the latter who is smoking a cigar]
- Col. William Edwards: Okay, Baker. What's up?
- Sgt. Baker: Why, nothing, sir. Nothing at all.
- Col. William Edwards: [puts his jacket on the back of his chair] Now, don't kid me. With you, it's never nothing.
- Sgt. Baker: Oh, that's a very unfriendly remark, sir. Indicates a complete lack of trust and confidence.
- Col. William Edwards: [sarcastically] Oh, I'm terrible sorry I hurt your feelings, Baker.
- [Edwards sits down in his chair]
- Col. William Edwards: Now, what do you want?
- Sgt. Baker: [enters the Colonel's office] May I take that as permission to discuss this matter further?
- Col. William Edwards: All I have to do is breath and you take it as permission.
- [Col. William Edwards can be seen speaking with Sgt. Baker in the former's office]
- Sgt. Baker: Sir, what are extenuating circumstances?
- [Edwards looks up at Baker]
- Sgt. Baker: [catches himself] Oh, I don't mean that. I mean, couldn't something be extenuating circumstances to one person and not to another, sir?
- Col. William Edwards: That's always a matter of opinion, Baker.
- [at the headquarters, Colonel William Edwards can be seen speaking with Sergeant Baker]
- Col. William Edwards: How did... uh... Fleischacker know that Miller was in here?
- Sgt. Baker: You know, Fleischacker, sir. He's a one-man radar system.
- [Baker hangs up a piece of paper on a bulliten board]
- Col. William Edwards: Yeah.
