I'm sorry for being so young.
That's all right, you'll grow out of it.
What he's trying to say is, correct me if I'm wrong...what's he trying to say?
That Rosie's is an oasis, a bamboo security blanket, a neutral country all its own.
Yeah a country!
(The surgical threesome as they enter the Swamp)
(grunt) 23 hours of O.R.
So?...23 hours...It's not like we were in there all day.
I feel like Dorian Grey's picture. Does anyone mind if I relax to some Beethoven?
Yes! (simultaneous with B.J.)
Aww...not tonight! (simultaneous with Hawkeye)
Alrighty, since you insist (starts the record player)
(sarcastically) We-hell, at least he had the decency to ask.
My body is so tired it's suing me for running a sweatshop.
Why am I wide awake?!? I know, how 'bout a brisk walk?
I can see us all sitting at a reunion ten years from now.
Yeah, the war's been over for a month, we all have gray hair, Charles has his in a box.
(Klinger has just photographed Williamson in a compromising position with Margaret in her tent. BJ, Hawkeye, and Charles burst in.)
Will someone please tell me what's going on here?
We thought your wife might like some pictures of your fact-finding tour.
Suitable for hanging.
(Col. Potter walks into the Swamp)
Either of you seen Radar?
Last I saw him he was in the Officer's Club having a touch of the grape.
Why? What's wrong?
Plenty. I just got a wire from the boy's mother in Iowa. Radar's Uncle Ed passed away.
Oy.
Yeah, oy.
Do you, Chuck Emerson Winchester III, take this lovely if gullible young woman as your un-lawful, un-wedded un-wife?
I undo.
And do you, Donna Marie Parker Winchester the Third, take this pickled amnesiac as your un-lawful, un-wedded, un-hubby?
I undo, too.
Now with the power invested in me by the state of intoxication, I pronounce you man and woman. You may now ignore the bride.
Now, Father- we understand this ceremony may be against the tenets of your religion
(drunk) I didn't know tennis was a religion!
We're 3 1/2 minutes over! Damn it!!
Maybe the hypothermia bought us some time.
Yeah, on the other hand, maybe it didn't.
Hawk, we saved his life.
Yeah, well I guess that's something.
It's more than something, it's everything.
(The patient is wiggling his toes, proving he's not paralyzed. Hawkeye, BJ, and Margaret jump for joy. A blood-drained Charles rests nearby)
WE DID IT! WE DID IT! Do you know what we DID?!
We made a man who's part George and part Harold!
And part Winchester.
That's right! When he wakes up, he won't know whether to be brave, generous, or pompous!
(in the lab preparing tetanus shots for the Korean children)
OK, ten shots, one every two hours.
Ah, a mere twenty hours 'til we are released from the munchkin horde.
Charles, have you been hoarding munchkins again?
You two baboons spoiled a swell movie!
No, we didn't! It's been here so long, it's spoiled by itself.
Yeah!
I've seen better film forming in my soup.
Yeah? Well I happen to think this is a fine piece of celluloid. As a matter of fact, it's mine and Mildred's favorite. Mildred loves Charles Boyer. This is a war, you know! Be grateful that we got a talkie!
We are, but don't you think we deserve a little decent entertainment?! God knows everything else around here stinks!
(discussing a surprise birthday party for Hawkeye in the Swamp)
What about we do something civilized?
Like what?
Like sipping sherry while musicians play a string trio by Franz Josef Haydn. Or perhaps, someone with a trained voice could read selections from Edna St. Vincent Millay.
This is for Pierce?
Oh he'd love it once we got him tied to the chair.
That's the stupidest thing I ever heard. I don't wanna be entertained by somebody with three names unless it's Gypsy Rose Lee.
This cultural commentary is brought to you by Maxwell "Swinish" Klinger.
BJ (reading from a letter): "Dear Doctors, You live a great life, I am jealous of you."
Je- He what?! Jealous.
BJ (still reading): "You guys get to camp out every night, eat real Army food, boy you're lucky."
I... just... Give me that! (takes the letter) Get to camp out, eh? (writing) "My dear diminutive correspondent, Your misinformation is exceeded only by your ahhh-trocious grammar.
Leave it to Charles to be the world's first poison pen pal.
You are great with scissors (talking to Bill the lawyer), you could be a doctor or a barber.
This is so unprofessional, I really must object.
Objection overruled
Relax Margaret. The lawyer is only here on a trial basis
Haven't you ever heard of anyone ever practicing medicine?
And besides, the case is closed and the patient rests
OR is now adjourned (Hits an emesis basin with a hammer)
