"[Crickets Chirping]" "Oh..." "[Frank] No, no, operator." "Listen to me closely, please." "Well, I told you three times." "Will you get it straight?" "Not the Hairywood Hotel." "The Hollywood Hotel in Tokyo." "On Showadori Street." "Showa..." " Well, however you say it." " [Radar] Oh!" "Moron." "Major Margaret Houlihan." "I'll wait." "Margaret, it's me, Frank." "Well, I can't talk louder." "I'm in Radar's office... and he's sleeping just a few feet from me." "God knows what filth he's dreaming." "Margaret, puss, I've been trying to get you for five hours." " Are you all right?" "Where have you been?" " Oh, well... the nurses' seminar lasted forever." "Captain Parish gave a talk on earwax problems in the artillery." "Dr. Nyler gave a talk on peristaltic rhythm." "Last year he nearly won the Nobel Prize for dysentery." "And then he also gave a talk on suppositories..."The Bullet of Health."" " It's three in the morning." "I was getting worried." " Were you, Frank?" "Oh, I called and called." "I thought maybe you'd been in a rickshaw wreck." "You know, those drivers get running in the rain and their glasses steam up." "The glass." "Wash the glass." "Well, after the seminar, some of the girls, the nurses, and Fred..." " Fred?" " Went out for a bite on the Ginza." "Margaret, who's Fred?" "I thought it was a nurses' seminar." "He's a physical therapist." "Nice, but dumb." "He hasn't got a brain in his whole "bod-y."" "Margaret, why do you say "bod-y" like that?" "What do you know about his "bod-y"?" " "Bod-y."" " He's just a big, strong kid." "He crushed a beer can with two fingers." "Show-off!" "Once I killed a gopher with a stick." "What'd you do?" "Where'd you go?" " We all went to a bathhouse." " And where was Fred?" "Well, we didn't see much of him." "He likes to stay underwater. [Laughs]" "Margaret, I..." "What?" "All right, operator." "Right away." "They're going to cut us off, punkin." "Our time's up." "Oh, I miss you so much." "Hurry back." "I got a new Andre Kostelanetz record." "It's called Two Alone." "We'll put it on in your tent and I'll crush a beer can with my knees." "Margaret, I..." "Margaret?" "Margaret." "Oh, Margaret."

" All I need is a doggy bag... filled with our cook's famous unborn hash... and a jeep with a full tank." "I'll drive north up through Mongolia, take a right at Siberia." "I may have a little trouble crossing the Bering Strait." "But after that..." " it's downhill all the way." " Especially if you have the lights." " Right." " We'll set it up after lunch." " Can we have some quiet in here?" " Don't bleed so loud." "It's like operating with a broken record going around and around." "And "around and around."" " Colonel!" " Major..." "I do wish you'd exercise your command." "I only exercise it once a month." "I don't want to get muscle-bound." " Thanks a heap!" " [Metal Object Drops]" " Oh, terrific, Kelly." " Sorry, Doctor." " You think I dropped it, don't you?" " I didn't say that, sir." "It's obvious you thought so the moment I dropped it!" "[Laughs]" "Come on in here." "We can talk better." " Radar, no calls." " [Radar] Yes, sir." " Me too." " Gentlemen, I need your help." " Command me, sire." " If it's shorts you want, you can have my other pair." " They need a little work." " No horsin' around now." "I'm serious." "So am I. Take my shorts and let the chips fall where they may." "Frank Burns is driving everybody nuts." "Ever since Major Houlihan went to Tokyo." "He even made Klinger cry." " The cad." " Told him his platform shoes made him look like a tramp." "You've seen him in O.R. All thumbs." " And two of'em up his nose." " Colonel, you've only been around him for a few months." " He's been a boil on my butt for a hundred years." " Then let's lance that boil." " The man feels totally friendless." " He is." "As a favor to me and for the good of the unit, be nice to him." "Buddy up to him." "Treat him like a pal." "You must have something in common." " True." "We hate each other." " Hawkeye, B. J..." "I'm begging ya." "Who could resist those big Colonel eyes?"

"Why don't you get in the game with us?" "Oh, thanks a lot." "I know when I'm not wanted." " No, come on." "We really want you." " Me?" " Yeah, come on, Frank." " We don't mind." " Get Frank a drink, B. J." " Yes, sir." "Park it right here." "I don't know much about poker." "Louise and I mostly played whist at the Moose Hall." "I read that in Cholly Knickerbocker." "Go easy on that rotgut." "It'll pickle your giblets." "Uh-huh." " Half-a-buck ante, Frank." " Mm." " [B.J.] A snapper purse?" " Oh, it says "no" to pickpockets with a capital "N."" "Get Mr. Ravenal a refill." "Anybody else for pickled giblets?" "Oh, no, thank you." "That's all right." " Straight draw, Frank." " Well, I don't know much about the game." "You get five cards." "Keep your best." "You know, pair, three of a kind, et cetera." "Then you draw, discard your garbage and keep your best five." "Any dumb Dora knows that." "It's nice and lemony." " You had lemons in there?" " We threw in a couple of cough drops." " Is this jacks or better?" " Si, senor." " I can't open." " Nope." " [Hawkeye] Father?" " I open for a dollar." " Bye-bye." " I'm in." " Frank?" " Well, what do I say if I want to say I think I can win?" " How about "So long"?" " Just say call." " Then I say call." " Me too." "How many cards you want, Radar?" "Two." "Three." "Uh, four." "Brilliant devil." "He's obviously got one of a kind." " [Hawkeye] Klinger?" " Two beauties, please." "Can I have another lemon squash?" " Comin' up, Tex." " Best keep your wits about you, Major." "Oh, don't worry about me, sir." "I got a hollow head." " Father?" " I'll take two, please." "One off the top, if you don't mind." " Frank?" " Don't bother me now." "I'm busy." " How many cards do you want?" " These will suit me just fine." " Watch him." " Uh-oh." " He's bluffing." " Dealer takes three." "Father, you opened." "I'll bet a dollar." "And up a half." " Frank?" " Fifty dollars!" " Fifty dollars?" " Five-dollar limit, poker face." " Well, five dollars then." " Okay, I'm in." "Gee, I was gonna buy a war bond." "What's more important?" "The card game or the war?" " [B.J.] You can play war anytime." " Okay, I'll stay." " I'll stay." " Oh, dear." "That's 5.50 to me." "I'll call, and may the Lord have mercy on my cards." "Same deal for me, Lord." "[Mouths Words]" "What do I do now?" "Can I bet again?" " [All] No!" " No, you can't." "Always wants to bet."

"Major Burns has got the duty and I can't find him anywhere." " Try the latrine." " I did." "He hasn't even taken the wrapper off his new National Geographic." "He's not in camp." "Gee, maybe he's been captured." "Let's find that enemy soldier and give him a nice tip." "What's ten percent of Frank Burns?" " You try Major Houlihan's tent?" " Yeah, it's got a big padlock on the door." "Well, does it look like it's been cried on?" "I remember you guys carried him back in here." " We dumped him on his bed." " He was sound asleep."

"He's out cold, but his dog tags read, uh, "Frank Burns."" " What?" " Skinny guy... uh, no chin, big pores?" " Is he wounded?" " No wounds." "Uh, but his toe tag reads, uh, "Emotionally exhausted and morally bankrupt."" "Whatever the hell that means." ""Emotionally exhausted"?" "And morally bankrupt." "You guys pull a fast one, put a toe tag on Burns last night?" "We addressed him, but we didn't mail him." "I'd appreciate it mightily, Nick, if you'd ship him back down here to us." "I'd like to help you, but we're short on wheels here." "We only have room for the wounded." "If you want him, you're gonna have to get him." "Okay, Nick, I understand." "So long." " They do not deliver." " Can they hold him on layaway?" "They've got their hands full." "Somebody's got to go get him." "I need two volunteers..." "Pierce and Hunnicutt." "Why don't we go tell them?" "Practical jokes." "I'm glad I'm not one." "Hey, come on!" "Why do you always keep me waiting?" "You know I hate to be late." " Sorry." " And that's what you're wearing?" "That looks terrible." "You wore that the last time we went to the front." "I thought we might need some Fig Newtons." "Oh, good idea." "We can spit seeds at the enemy." "Let's move, Kato."

"Close your eyes." "[Breathing Heavily]" "Oh, Margaret!" "Glazed plums!" "I saw them in a window." "I said, "That's Frank."" "You're mad." " Margaret, I'm on fire." " What can I do to put you out?" "I gotta go on hospital duty." "Oh, well, there's always later." "I hear the peace talks are going badly." "We can only hope." "And then we went to see a play at the Kabuki." "I can't pronounce it in Japanese, but it means..." ""Geisha girl, the samurai have arrived to take you to the dance."" " We?" "You mean you and the girls?" " And Fred." "Fred." " Fred Fred?" " Fred, Frank." "Anyway, he understands Japanese... and has the most beautiful samurai sword." "Samurai sword?" "Well, where'd you see it?" "Does he wear it around or what?" "He has a picture of it in his wallet." " Trouble in paradise?" " One can only hope." " Suppose a rabbit died?" " Looks to me like she's having lunch with him."
