[during roll call] Major Frank Marion Burns.
[snickers] Marion.
His folks wanted a boy.
Thank, you Colonel. Sorry, Captain. Sorry, patient, you have a temperature of 109 stroke 10. I'm afraid you can't have an incubator but you can have a pizza with everything on it to go. Unless, of course, you go first.
Let's stay on the ground, shall we, Pierce?
[to Sloan] Does the book allow us any ground, Captain? Otherwise I'm afraid I'll have to ask you all to take a step up.
Into Limbo!
No, you can't have any Limbo. In fact, you can't have - anything - stroke nothing, which is not approved by STATQUOPAC. Which is enough to make you reach for AIRSICKBAG.
Well everybody, happy days, stroke cheers.
Holy cow! (Reading charges) "Insubordination! Conduct unbecoming officers! Violations of Articles 13 through 27 with a repeat on 26!"
That must be altering salute by placing thumb on nose.
Henry there's something you should know about those charges.
Yes. We're guilty.
I'll tell you what else you are: Your under arrest. General's orders.
Swell. What do we tell the casualties? We only operate on visiting days?
You gonna lock us up Sheriff?
If you guys didn't outclass every bit of surgical talent in Korea, your tails would have been in handcuffs a long time ago.
Henry its no crime, or it shouldn't be for doctors to try to get decent medical equipment.
Did you really yell "Give me an incubator or give me death"? Wow. Did you really call a one-star general a "NINCOMPAC"?
You have a lot of trouble with women, don't you?
Every chance that I can!
Henry, the guy could have died!
He was bleeding, Henry. And Frank, here, who studied medicine under General Rommel was too chicken to operate. He was afraid that under anaesthesia the lieutenant might give away Harry Truman's hat size!
I can't believe it. I couldn't wait till she got here, and now I'm glad she's gone.
It's for the best, Henry.
Yeah. If you had sucked your gut in one more time, your belly button would have fallen out your backside.
You're asking me to let a pervert out of the Army?!
Oh, by all means, Frank. Let's leave the perverts in the Army.
Anyway, Klinger's not a pervert.
How do you know?
Because I'm one--and he's never at the meetings!
[seeing available selections in "nose" catalogue] Gee, I never knew how hard it was to pick a nose.
[pointing to one selection] This one paid for two Cadillacs.
Now that's what you call "paying through the nose."
The wit in this room flows like molasses.
[listening to Radar play the piano] Hey Radar, don't you know another song?
He doesn't even know THAT one. [Radar continues to play.] Radar, if you keep this up, you could be arrested for felonious fingering.
[Trapper is knocking on Margaret's door, Margaret and Frank are eating a stolen ham] Who is it?
The heat inspector!
You can't come in!
Then we'll huff, and we'll puff, and we'll blow your nurse down!
I found out something about someone that is very interesting--very interesting.
Let us guess.
Is this person a well-stacked U.S. Army major nurse who's bigger than a breadbox that you're seeing on the side?
No... [realizes what Hawkeye said] ...no!
The man is not normal!
What's normal, Frank?
Normal is everybody doing the same thing.
What about individuality?
Well, individuality is fine--as long as we all do it together.

[Both Pratt and Flagg are planning to arrest Frank]
Arrest me?? What for, for heaven's sake!
You're a communist!
He's a facist!
I'm not either! I'm nothing!
We'll vouch for that.
What did he die of?
Myocardial infarction.
What does that mean?
It means his pearl-handled pistols are up for grabs.
