Lt. Elroy Carpenter (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0368561/): [enters Binghamton's office] Oh, Sir. Sir, you found my salami.
Captain Wallace B. Binghamton (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0283499/): Yes, I did.
Lt. Elroy Carpenter (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0368561/): Where was it?
Captain Wallace B. Binghamton (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0283499/): Uh, where was it? It was filed under S. Where else would it be?
Lt. Elroy Carpenter (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0368561/): Under S, Sir?
Captain Wallace B. Binghamton (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0283499/): Yes.
Lt. Elroy Carpenter (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0368561/): Well, no wonder I couldn't find it. I thought I had filed it under M - for meat.
