Col. Sherman T. Potter : I'll see if there's somebody floating around in the typing pool we can use as a clerk pro tem.
Maj. Charles Winchester : Perish the thought. The very least I can do is perform this noble lad's duties whilst he's on the mend.
Col. Sherman T. Potter : Well, that's mighty Samaritan of you, Major, but I don't see you as the typing type.
Maj. Charles Winchester : Ha! Colonel, you're just saying that because you think clerking is beneath me. Well, it is, but I insist.
Col. Sherman T. Potter : Hmm. Well, seeing as how it's Klinger 1, Winchester nothing, I suppose I ought to give you a chance to even the score. Do you take shorthand?
Maj. Charles Winchester : Of course not.
Col. Sherman T. Potter : Do you know the filing system?
Maj. Charles Winchester : Bite your tongue.
Col. Sherman T. Potter : Can you make coffee?
Maj. Charles Winchester : In an emergency.
