Stalag 17 Quote

Sefton : [ spoiler ] 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 chord. [ 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? [ /spoiler ]
