M*A*S*H · Season 9

Klinger and Charles in “Death Takes a Holiday”

Ah, Major Winchester, the party of one. Dinner is served.

[irked] What is this?

Well, let me see: For your appetizer, the last of the macadamias, followed, by a mixed grill of Lebanese salami, sugar-cured ham, and hog jowls; we have seconds on those. Sorry sir, no smoked oysters; I just smoked the last one.

But I didn't-

And for dessert, fresco fudge, and nutty fruitcake.

All laced with hemlock, I'm sure.

Sorry, sir, no hemlock. But I can get you some ketchup.

And what, pray tell, is the catch of the day?

[heading for the tent door] Oh, just one catch, Major.

Ah?

The source of this Christmas dinner must remain anonymous. It's an old family tradition.

[Deeply moved, Charles turns around; Klinger smiles]

Thank you, Max.

Merry Christmas. Charles.
