Corporal Miller:
Everybody stay exactly where you are! The party's over. Somebody stepped on the cake!

[opens his case]

Corporal Miller:
Exhibit A: a clockwork fuse. Elementary and archaic, but they work. Only this one doesn't work, you know why? The clock's okay, but the contact arm's been broken off. This clock could tick away until Christmas, and it wouldn't set off a firecracker!

Corporal Miller:

Corporal Miller:
