"Does that big ass of hers move around a lot, Frank, or does it sort of lie there flaccid?" "Hawkeye's questioning the major on a point of anatomy." "Very professional." "Would you say that she was a moaner, Frank?" " What is Burns saying?" " Major Burns isn't saying much of anything." "He's formulating the answer." "Seriously, Frank." "Does she go..." "Or does she lie there quiet and not do anything at all?" " Keep your filthy mouth to yourself." " Or does she go..." "Get him off me!" " Get him off me!" " Frank, is that lesson one?" "Frank Burns has gone nuts!" "I'm wearing glasses, for God's sake!" "Watch out for your goodies." "He's a sex maniac." "I don't think Hot Lips satisfied him." "Don't let him kiss you, Hawkeye." "The time has come for us" "To say sayonara" "My heart will always" "Be yours for eternity" "I knew sometime we'd have to say sayonara..." "Colonel, fair's fair." "If I nail Hot Lips and punch Hawkeye, can I go home?" "I'll remember our romance" "Until the day that I die" "I'll see your face in the moon and stars in the sky" " Hawkeye!" " Be there in a minute." " Hawkeye!" " Oh, shit." "OK." "Seidman, get another guy." "We gotta take this into the OR just on the stretcher." "Hold on, you're gonna be just fine, fella." "OK." "I can't move my hand." "Come on." "Have you got the cutdowns?" "You're gonna go to sleep." "You'll be fine." " Hot Lips, let me have a sterile knife." " I'm gonna need two vascular clamps and an arterial suture." "As soon as you give me the clamp I want you to gown and glove me." "All right?" "Ready?" "OK." "Here we go." "It's gonna spurt a bit." "OK." " You got it?" " Ah, yeah, you baby." " Clamp." " Yeah." "OK, gown." " Gloves." "You got an arterial suture ready?" " Yeah." "OK." "Ugly, move out of the way cos I'm working over there." "Baby, we're gonna see some stitching like you never saw before!" "Attention." "Attention." "This is ColonelBlake's office." "The American Medical Association has just declared marijuana a dangerous drug." "Despite earlier claims by physicians that it is no more harmful than alcohol, this is now found to be the case." "That is all." "When did you get them?" "Let me try it on you." " Yeah?" " Yeah." "Hey, Dago Reddo!" "Hi." "You're just in time for cocktails." " Come on in." " No, thank you." "I can't, really." " Hawkeye." "Hawkeye." " OK, Red." " Could I speak to you?" " Yeah, sure." "No, outside." " What?" " I have to talk to you outside." "Hiya, Pup-Pup." " Sorry to drag you away from the gang, but..." " What?" "This'll only take a moment." "There's a problem with Walt Waldowski." "Painless?" "You got a toothache?" "He's good." "No, no, it's not my problem." "See, it's his problem." " What do you mean?" "What is it?" " Well, what is it..." "That's..." "It's difficult to talk about, you see, because I learned about his problem in confession." " Oh, and you can't..." " I can't divulge." "Can you give me a hint?" " Just an idea?" " Well, no." "But I can tell you how serious it is." "He and the boys were playing poker and one of the boys turned to him and asked him for a ruling on one of the hands." "And Walt said, he said "What does it matter?" "It's only a game."" "Painless said "What does it matter?" "It's only a game"?" "Poker, only a game?" "Yeah." " Yeah, that's what I thought." " I guess I better go see a man about a tooth." "Thank you." " See, I didn't know what to... do." " Pup-Pup." "You see, there are some..." "There are some things that absolution just..." "Well..." "Seven, eight, jack." "Three on a low." "Four, three..." "Hawkeye, there's an empty chair here looking for a player." "Baby, I've got a toothache like you can't believe." "Why do you bring that dog in here?" "Last time you did I lost $30." "Why do you have to sit behind me?" "It makes me nervous." " It brings me a lot of luck." "Sit there, Boone." " Come on." "Let's play, men." "Deuce." "Ace." " Can I take some Scotch?" " Sure." " You want some?" " No." " How you feelin'?" " No, don't touch me." "Look, if a... lf a man isn't a man any more," "what's he got left that he should be living for?" "OK, tell me about it." "What's the story?" "Well, you know that little nurse that was through here last night with the 325th?" " The little one with the big... boobs." " Yeah, I know." "Yeah." "Well, anyway, I..." "I wasn't gonna fool around out here because I got these..." "I got these three girls that I'm engaged to back home." "And you wanted to be faithful." "Baby, you are 7,000 miles from home." "Well, anyway, I took her out last night and I..." "I failed." " You mean she wouldn't put out?" " She wanted to, but it was me." "I couldn't..." " Oh, you couldn't..." "It wouldn't..." " Yeah, nothing happened." "Not at all." "That happens to everybody." "It's happened to me four or five times..." "Yeah, well, it's never happened to me before." "Come on." "You're the best-equipped dentist in the army." " You're the dental Don Juan of Detroit." " That's just a cover-up." " What's a cover-up?" " Don Juanism." " I've been reading about it." "It's a cover-up." " It's a cover-up for what?" "Well..." "I'm a fairy." "A victim of latent homosexuality." "I've turned into a fairy." " Have you... have you done anything?" " No, but it's only a matter of time." "I just can't face it." "Look, Hawkeye, suppose that you found out that you were one, huh?" " One...?" " Yeah." "You wouldn't like telling your wife." " No, I can see that that would be a problem." " I got the same problem, only multiplied." "Well, you know, Man o' War, after they retired him from racing, they put him out to stud." "And he had an average of about 120, 130 foals every year." "And he lived to be 36." "And then when he died they did an autopsy and found out that he was a raving queen." "No, that's a little-known fact, but it's the truth." " Painless has a couple of years left in him." " Maybe more." "He hasn't started raving yet." "Painless is a dentist, and a dentist shouldn't read." "That's his problem." "His problem is that he believes it." "He is convinced." "It's an obsession and it is a vital force." " Here he comes!" "The jawbreaker." " He's not gonna break anything." "Just act natural." "All right, Painless?" "How's she goin'?" "Something in a marshmallow?" "No, it's OK, fellas." "I know you've been talking about me, and..." "Well, I came over to tell you that I've decided that I'm... going to commit suicide." "Well, if you're really gonna go ahead and do it, do you think you could leave me your record player?" " Oh, sure." " Thank you." "Gonna miss you, Painless." "How do you plan to do it?" "A .45 between the eyes?" " That's awful sloppy." " It's reliable though." "Well, that's another thing I wanted to ask you." "I'm sort of new at this game and..." "Do you have any particular method you'd recommend?" "I don't know." "I think my colleagues and I could come up with something" " to relinquish the vital forces of their..." " Black capsule." " Black capsule." " Of course." "That's neat." "What's a black capsule?" "You have any?" "Does it work?" "It worked for Hitler and Eva Braun." "It should work for you." "Hawkeye, I really must..." "I should check with the military vicar's office." "I cannot give absolution to a man who is about to commit suicide." "It's a mortal sin." "Look, Dago, he is not committing suicide, only intending to." "So you're not dealing with an act, but with an intention." "If it works, he will not commit suicide, so therefore you're preventing a mortal sin." "OK?" "Well, I should check." " Well, you check on it." " Well, there's..." "All right, where you at?" "There you go." "Now, then, you've all come here to say your final farewell to ol' Walt here." " Farewell, Walt." " Dear ol' Walt." "You know, I got an idea that maybe it's not such a final farewell after all." "I think maybe ol' Walt's goin' on into the unknown to do a little recon work for us all." " Huh?" " I just wanna say one thing." "Nobody ordered Walt to go on this mission." "He volunteered for certain death." " That's true." " It's what we award our highest medals for." " That's beautiful." " That's what being a soldier is all about." " Oh, yeah." "Hear!" "Hear!" " Yes." "Yes." "Gentlemen, I think there's only one person who has anything to add to that." " And that's Dago Red." " Oh, the padre." "Let's hear it for the padre." "Walt, here's... here's your black capsule." "Look, this thing works pretty fast, doesn't it?" "I think I better go lie down over there." "Walt, that'll help you." "Through early morning fog I see" "Visions of the things to be" "The pains that are withheld for me" "I realize" "And I can see" "That suicide is painless" "It brings on many changes" "And I can take or leave it if I please" "The game of life is hard to play" "I'm going to lose it anyway" "The losing card I'll someday lay" "So this is all I have to say" " That suicide is painless" " Wherever you go, take this." "Good luck." "It brings on many changes" " It's out there." "And I can take or leave it if I please" " I'll always remember you just like this." "The only way to win is cheat" "And lay it down before I'm beat" "And to another give my seat" "For that's the only painless feat" "Painless." "Suicide is painless" " It brings on many changes" " Nice party." "Thanks for asking me." " And I can take or leave it if I please" " Thing is... you're throwing your whole education away." " And you can do" " Good night, Jawbreaker." "The same thing" "If you please" "Hi, baby." " Hi." " I'm glad you could come." "Sorry it was so late." "That's OK." "I really couldn't sleep anyway." "I'm so nervous." "You leavin' tomorrow?" "Yeah." "I'll be on my way in less than 12 hours." "I suppose who it's going to be really roughest on though is your husband." "Why are you all of a sudden so concerned with him?" "A man would be more considerate to his wife." "He wouldn't go home a nervous wreck." " Stop using logic cos you're just proving..." " It could be an impersonal thing." "..why I shouldn't go to bed with you." "I didn't mean me." "You have the rare privilege that happens to chief executives of states or nations." "You have the privilege of restoring a human being's life by a tender act of mercy." "What is this?" "Oh, Hawkeye, is he dead?" "No, no." "He's not dead." "Not yet." "Painless has a psychological problem, and you're the only person who can help him." "Oh, no, Hawkeye." "Oh, no." "Come on." "No, Maria." "You've gotta look on this as a nurse." "Painless needs it for therapeutic value." "It will help him, and it wouldn't do you any harm either to think about it for a bit." "If you think that your virtue is more important than Painless's life, that's fine." "I just want you to stay here and be with him for a minute." "Just look at him." " Just stay close to the whole man..." " Oh, Hawkeye!" "and look at him." "Hawkeye!" "Oh, this is ridiculous." "You forgot your hat!" "You wouldn't wanna leave without a souvenir." "Have a good trip." "Lieutenant Schneider, you forgot your travelling orders." "Wait." "You're supposed to pick..." "These are your travelling orders." " Morning, Painless." " Oh, hi, Hawkeye." "How's she goin'?" "Slept like a doll last night." "Well, can't waste time." "Big day." "Got two jaws to rebuild." "Come on, Seidman." "Have a good day." "Attention." "Attention." "Religious services for Yom Kippur will be held... will not be held this Friday, due to mitigating circumstances." "For those who wish to observe said holiday, Sunday has been reserved." "That is all." "Trapper, this one's for you, babe." " That man is a prisoner of war, Doctor." " So are you, but you don't know it." " It's in pretty deep." " I think that was my finger." "I need your help, Hawkeye." "It's hit more than a lung." " What do you think?" " I don't know." " Hey, Radar." " Yes."
