TV show quotes
Corporal, what's the proper procedure for filing a morning report?
Yes, sir. The proper disposition of daily data, as per army regulation D252 Section R, Paragraph 6, is to fill it out, file one copy, forward the others, and faint if they actually get there. [The officers are stunned] Well, how did I do?
[They applaud]
Gentlemen, before we adjourn, there is the matter of one Corporal Elmo Hitalski, a most worthy and deserving soldier.
Him again?
Admittedly, he's not perfect. But who is?
You're the one who wanted to turn a guy down because he had a Z in his name.
EEG?
Yeah, electroencephalogram.
How do you spell that?
I personally spell it EEG.
Klinger (seeing that the press has taken over his office): Speaking of drawers and sheets, I was hoping to strip down to one and slip between the other.
Charles, one of the things I've always liked about our relationship is we never let sympathy get in the way.
Where I have a father, you have a dad.
[As Hawkeye waits for word about his dad's surgery, Charles keeps vigil with him.]
Pierce, there is no sense in projecting the worst in this thing.
The worst is a distinct possibility. Dad and I are too close to…let this all suddenly end with silence 12,000 miles apart.
Pierce, you should be grateful that only distance is separating you. My father and I have been 12,000 miles apart in the same room.
Yeah?
The most intimate and personal communication at the Winchester household took place at the evening meal. Every night promptly at 7:15, we would gather at the dinner table. The soup would be served, and my father would begin with, "Tell us what you did today, Charles." As the elder of the two children, I was given the privilege of speaking first. I would then have until the salad to report the highlights of my day. Even now, the sight of lettuce makes me talk faster. I always assumed that's how it was in every family. But when I see the warmth, closeness, the fun of your relationship… My father's a good man. He always wanted the best for me. But where I have a father, you have a dad.
[touched] Charles, you never told me anything like this before.
Actually, Hawkeye…I've never told you anything before.
BJ (about Charles): I'll bet he has the largest record collection in all of Korea. Maybe all of Asia. Probably the world. You know, you'd think a guy with that many records wouldn't have a chance to play them all, but he does. It can be done if you have your phonograph on for every minute of every day. And night! But I like it!
I just wonder if I'm getting what this painting is really all about: the camaraderie, the affection we have for each other. Oh, I'm getting the bodies all right, but I wonder if I'm getting the souls. Maybe I bit off more than I can chew.
Uh, I have to go sir. (he leaves)
Of course son. You know, you people have been closer than kinfolk to me, you make it almost bearable being over here.
Excuse me sir please. (she leaves)
Surely. In a way, this painting is a way of sharing my Korean family with my family back home.
Of course. Of course. (he leaves leaving Potter at a table by himself)
It ain't easy telling people how close you are to 'em when they aren't here.
That does it, when this war is over I'm going home.
Would you like some Cognac?
Naw, I ain't hungry.
This must be the tent that made Milwaukee famous.
I'll make you a deal: I fix the autoclave. I go.
Fine.
Ok. Fine. Fine. Very simple. The hinge is bent, that's all. Takes three seconds.
Uh-huh.
One (hits it), two (hits it again), three...(hits it and the door falls off).
Well I did everything I could and I'd do the same thing all over again. There is no reason to put myself and everybody else through hell to satisfy some crazy notion that good is never good enough.
Maj. Winchester what is that?
That is a floor which astonishingly enough I am sweeping.
Plaster will not be sweeped off the floor. It has to be scrapped off with a razor.
Winchesters do not shave floors.
Do Winchesters heal quickly?
