Maj. Wolfgang Hochstetter: [hangs up] We've got him. We've got him.General der Infanterie Albert Burkhalter: We've got who?Maj. Wolfgang Hochstetter: Nimrod.General der Infanterie Albert Burkhalter: Nimrod? That British agent?Maj. Wolfgang Hochstetter: Yeah, that's right. The most wanted man in Germany and we've got him. No, we don't got him. They got him. But we can still get him.General der Infanterie Albert Burkhalter: What are you babbling about?Maj. Wolfgang Hochstetter: That phone call. It was a message. - Oh, excuse me a moment, general. [reads the lines he worte down] "Mairzy Doats, Little Boy Blue" [eats the paper] I realise this is hard to believe, general, but Klink-...General der Infanterie Albert Burkhalter: HOCHSTETTER! Take that paper out of your mouth.Maj. Wolfgang Hochstetter: [does so] Sorry, general. I got so excited. This news has me so excited. Here, read this.General der Infanterie Albert Burkhalter: You read it to me, please, major.Maj. Wolfgang Hochstetter: Well, it's in code. It's some kind of instructions fro Nimrod. I'll call headquarters and have them send over a cryptologist. No, wait a minute. I'm a cryptologist. I was the top man in my unit. This is no trick at all. [slide, Klink's desk is full of curdled-up papers] I got it. I told you. Didn't I tell you I could break this code.General der Infanterie Albert Burkhalter: For two hours you have been telling me that.Maj. Wolfgang Hochstetter: What they're using here i a variation on the old Fessenhoffer Cipher. Basic vowel substitutes. A becomes E if followed by P. When preceded by U, then E becomes B and U becomes P and sometimes Y except afert C. However, what they've done here-...General der Infanterie Albert Burkhalter: Just read the message.Maj. Wolfgang Hochstetter: The message is: "I am foul. Lurch let in cragnik."General der Infanterie Albert Burkhalter: This is the message? Obviously, it's not the code.Maj. Wolfgang Hochstetter: Yeah, that's not the code... Oh, it's the old double-look method. I will crack this in not time at all.General der Infanterie Albert Burkhalter: Why don't you call headquarters and let them send over an expert. This whole thing doesn't makes sense. The idea of Klink being a British agent is ridiculous.Maj. Wolfgang Hochstetter: Yeah, I could not believe it myself. But you were here. You heard the phone ring. You saw me write down the message. So you know I'm not crazy.General der Infanterie Albert Burkhalter: Yes, I heard the phone ring, I heard you say Mairzy Doats, and I watched you eat a wad of paper.
