“Pros and Cons,” · Season 1, Episode 3

In this episode: Murdock (4), B.A. Baracus (2), Face Peck (1), Hannibal Smith (1)

Murdock is being shown Rorschach ink blots by a prison psychiatrist. The first picture is a butterfly

Tractor.

PPsychiatrist

You don't really see a tractor, do you, Murdock?

(smiles) You're right. I was just guessing.

PPsychiatrist

Well, don't guess. What does it look like?

Ink. It looks like ink. See, I have done this most of my life off and on and I don't see nothin', so I just guess.

PPsychiatrist

It looks like a butterfly, don't it? See, there's the wings and there's the head.

Hey, yeah. Yeah! I see that. Yeah, it's a butterfly!

PPsychiatrist

Good. Butterfly. Now what is this?

(Psychiatrist puts another picture on the table.)

Garbage bag. Empty garbage bag.

(Psychiatrist rolls eyes and motions for the guard to take Murdock away.)

I'd like a trash bag, please, if you have one. I really could use a trash bag.

(from inside padded cell) TRAAAAASH BAGS! I want TRAAAAASH BAGS! I want 'em! I want 'em!!

PPsychiatrist

(To guard) Do we have any trashbags? Maybe he'll put his head inside and suffocate.

TRAAAAAASH BAGS! I want TRAAAAAASH BAGS! (gets one and stops shouting)

PPsychiatrist

We give him one, and he shuts up for a couple of hours.

Hmmm. Interesting. If I could talk to him, I might be able to determine if it's a genuine neurotic fixation or if our boy is trying to section eight his way into the soft walls of a prison psych ward.

PPsychiatrist

I sure would appreciate that. None of us can get any sleep around here.

Murdock and Hannibal are seated in chairs will trash-bag balloons tied to them

Murdock, how'd I let you talk me into this?

I don't know, I have intermittent memory loss!
