Col. Klink: What are you waiting for? Cut the wire.
Col. Hogan: That’s the problem. One of these wires disconnects the fuse, the other one fires the bomb. Which one would you cut, Shultz?
Sgt. Schultz: Don’t ask me, this is a decision for an officer.
Col. Hogan: All right. Which wire, Colonel Klink?
Col. Klink: This one. [points to the white wire]
Col. Hogan: You’re sure?
Col. Klink: Yes.
[Hogan cuts the black wire; the bomb stops ticking]
Col. Klink: If you knew which wire it was, why did you ask me?
Col. Hogan: I wasn’t sure which was the right one, but I was certain you’d pick the wrong one.
