Sefton:
Okay, Herr Preisshoffer, let's have the mailbox. Price:
The what? Sefton:
The one you took out of the corner of your bunk and put in this pocket! [pulls a black queen out of Price's jacket] Sefton:
Let me show you how they did it. They did it by mail. Harry Shapiro:
Mail? Sefton:
That's right. Little love notes between our Security officer and Von Scherbach, with Schulz the mailman. [gestures to a lightbulb hanging above a table] Sefton:
Here's the flag. They used to put a loop in the cord. [does so] Sefton:
Did you ever notice? And Here's the mailbox. Hollow black queens. [pops the two queens open] Sefton:
Cute, huh? They delivered the mail or picked it up whenever we were out of the barracks, like for appell. And when there was a special delivery, they'd pull a phony air raid to get us out of here, like last night for instance. There wasn't a plane in the sky. Or was there, Price?
