"Attention, please." "May I have the attention of each and every personnel, please?" "This is your commanding officer, Colonel Blake." "I thought it was Major Bowes."

" Step behind the screen and drop your pants." "Step behind the screen and raise your skirt." "All right, girls." "Attention, please." "Now, I will give you the preliminary exam... and then the doctors will go to work on you." "Bear in mind that you are the cream of American military womanhood... serving your Uncle Sam and entitled to dignity." "No smart remarks... no insinuations, sex or smut-wise." "You are women, desirable women." "Most of you." "But army regulations forbid any doctor... to assist you from undressing into disrobement." "Further, they can do nothing, nothing, when you are alone with them... but give you a good going-over." "Now, when I call your name, please scream." " New girl in town?"

" That's my new tattoo." "It's an anchor." "Well, I mean, you're not in the navy." "I tried to get a red cross, but it was a buck fifty." "This was only 50 cents." "Radar, getting one of those is very unsanitary." "Oh, I washed my hands first, sir." "Right." "Let's audition your pump." " Can you make it go up and down?" " No, not yet." "But I hum when I do it." "All right, Mclntyre." "Time for your checkup." " Into your birthday suit." " Take a walk, Frank." " This is the army." " Then take a hike." "Are you refusing to take your physical from a superior officer?" "No, I'm refusing to take my physical from an inferior doctor." " What's all the adrenaline for?" " Mclntyre's refused to take his clothes off for me." "Well, not everybody is Major Houlihan, Frank." "Which is a relief to us all." "Out, Frank." "Excuse me, sirs."

"I'd rather be strung up by my Achilles tendon than agree with Major Disaster here." "Oh, fudge." "Refusing a checkup?" "It doesn't make sense." "It's basic." "There something you wanna get off your chest, or arms, or legs?" "Okay." "I got a problem in my belly... but I don't want it diagnosed here because I don't want to be treated in this pigpen." "Pain?" "Yeah, when I'm empty." "Feels better when I eat." " Wake you up at night?" " Yeah." "First I thought it was alcoholic gastritis." "You know, we've been hitting the sauce pretty good lately." "But the symptomology is wrong." "I've got heartburn that would light up the city ofToledo." "I've been taking this stuff here lately." " Antacid." "Does that help?" " A little, but not enough." "I think I got a duodenal ulcer." "What's the smile for?" "Trap, it's not just an ulcer." "If you've got one, that's your ticket home." "You've got a million-dollar hole in your belly." "Hey." "Hey." "Hey-hey!" "You see that crater?" "That's the money, Mclntyre." "Congratulations." "You've just given birth to a bouncing 1.2" " Centimeter ulcer." "You are going back to the world, my friend." "Before you know it, you'll be home sleeping on the couch... because you started talking in your sleep." "You know, I feel so terrible, I feel great." "You big, strong, dumb, silent types can't handle the tension." "All cool on the outside, but inside there's an acid factory in your belly." "Hey, we gotta have a snort on this." " A little something to irrigate the "inwards. "" " Hear, hear." " Scotch or bourbon?" " Right." " No, by me..." "Good boy." "Radar." "Radar, bring us some milk, will you?" "Who died?" "Yes, sir." "You better call home and let your wife know you're coming." "Right, you don't wanna walk in on anything." "Some of those 4-Fs run pretty big." "I can't tell you how much it'll mean to me to get back and see my two girls." " Daddy's home." " I bet they've grown." "Probably shaving now." " Is everybody all right?" " I'm going home, Radar." " He's got an ulcer." " Wow!" "You lucky pup... sir." " Join us, Radar." " Go get a sterile bottle and a clean nipple." "Oh, okay." " Henry, we gotta throw the kid a farewell bash." " "Absotively.

" Just a little bit ofheaven." " Come in, Frank." "Hi, sweets." "You realize what Mclntyre's leaving means, don't you?" "No, Frank." "What does it mean?" "He'll be gone and he'll be here." " They won't be them anymore." "They'll only be him." " Right." "From now on, Margaret, instead of two against two..." " it's us against him, two against one." " Fine." "Of course..." " I prefer one against one." " Oh, please, Frank." " Why so irritable, princess?" " I'm not irritable, Frank." "I'm just... fat." "You have a fat, fat princess." "That just means there's more of you to love." "Then you agree I'm fat?" "No, Margaret." "Not fat, fat." "You're sort of halfway between fat and thin... leaning a little bit to the not fat, but rather the thin side... of fat." " In other words, fat." " No, you're actually thin... for a person that weighs as much as you do." "I'll tell you how thin I am... not very." "Margaret, you're what I like to think of as... full-bodied." " Is that what you like to think of, Frank?" " All the time." "You're all nice and round and mushy and soft." "Unlike a certain person back home on whom I used to cut myself." "Hey, Frank." "What do you have to do this afternoon?" " Well, I'm garbage officer." " The garbage can wait." " The garbage can wait." "Do you realize, you lucky bugger, in a few days... you're gonna be eating unpowdered food?" "Wearing clothes made for humans?" "Sleeping on clean sheets?" "I don't think I can sleep on clean sheets anymore." "Why don't you take home a set of dirties?" "The Garden of Allah." "And to think that I could call this home." "Fungus grows on you." "After you go, I'm having the place done over in deep-pile germs." "And I won't be here." "I'll make you a doggy bag of bacteria for the plane." "Here." "Take this." "I've read it eight times." "Sirs, you're looking at a dying man." "I got 20 minutes to live, tops." "My blood pressure is 200 over 310." "Stuffing cigars up your armpits again?" "When it gets to 400, sell." "For now, exit laughing." "Sir, you're getting out on an ulcer." "How did you do it?" "What did you think about?" "How did you get it?" " I'm fertile, that's all." " And he just didn't take any precautions." " Bye, Klinger." " "Bye, Klinger. "" "Every five minutes, "Bye, Klinger. "" "Well." "It's all yours, Hawk." "Gonna move out?" "Be a good chance to get away from Frank." "No, I'll stay." "I wouldn't want a room without a Bible." "Thanks, Trap." "What?" "You made it bearable." "I was lucky." "You were honest and open... and let me lean on you." "No charge." "And if I'm ever back this way..." "I'll keep a light burning for you in a bedpan." "Uh, yes, sir." "I'm writing it down." "Well, not really shorthand, sir." "Sort of long shorthand." "Yes, sir." "Hey, the troops are really doing it tonight, huh?" "Where's Radar?" "Anybody seen Radar?" "Afraid somebody will step on him?" "I got something for you, sir." "Save the present for the party, Radar." "No, it's a message from H.Q." "They got your X ray and your medical file and they approved your ulcer." "That's damn nice of them." "Uh, yeah." "Well, you report to Tokyo General... for three weeks of therapy, antacid, planned diets, tranquilizers..." " the works." " Is this some kind of an army screwup?" "I'm going home." "No." "They said they don't send you home with an ulcer." "After you're cured at Tokyo General, they ship you off to another unit." "I could wind up in a place worse than this?" "There's no place worse than this." "Well, they give you the choice of staying where you are and being cured." "This place gave me the ulcer." "It gave me the runs." "Look, Radar, don't say anything about this to anybody, okay?" "I'll take care of it." "Oh, sure." "Listen, I'm sorry you're not going home, Trap." " But I'm glad you're back." " Thanks, Radar." "I'm driving down to Seoul tomorrow night if that's of any interest to you." "I don't go out with married men, Colonel." "Well, neither do I." "Henry's at 6,000 feet and holding." "You can do an appendectomy on him without an anaesthetic." " Hey." " Hey." "Here's the graduating class." "Pierce, we're losing our boy." "Well, we knew he'd leave us one day." "One of the best darn cutters in the whole shootin' match." "Both of you." "Won't be the same without you." "He's leaving." "You either." "Uh, Margaret, I should warn you." "Alcohol is quite fattening." "It's all right, Frank." "I plan to throw up later." "Could you do me a favor when you get stateside, sir?" "I need a black evening bra." " No man should be without one." " I'll pay for it." "I got my mad money here someplace, sir." "Hold on to it, Klinger." " Beat it." " Yes, sir." "There you are, you." "You "aminal. "" "The major's a little snoggered." "How can you tell?" "Well, Mclntyre." "I guess this is it." "I just wanted you to know I've always admired you." " Always liked you." " Thanks, Frank." "But I'm glad you're going." "Quiet, Frank, or I'll tie you to Emily Post." " Frank." "We're having a little entertainment later." " Mm-hmm." "Oh, good." "I understand you play "America, the Beautiful" on the spoons." "Oh, well." "It's nothing really." "I'm sure." "If you come to my tent, I'll keep my flaps up." "I've been waiting a long time to tell you something, Captain Trapper "John-Intyre. "" "Really, Margaret?" "I always watch you." "You wouldn't know that." "And every time you look when I'm looking, I watch something else... so that you can't see that I've been looking when you're watching." " I see." " Especially when you play football in your bathing trunks." "And now, you're leaving." "And I'm stuck with needle-nose." "Hold it down, everybody." "Hold it down, everybody." "Let me have your attention." "Henry." "Yo." "As you all know, this is TrapperJohn's last party with us." "While we're all saddened that he's leaving... we're gladdened that he's going home to the land of the all-night generator." "Good friend... good companion." "He's taken a lot of the rottenness out of the war for all of us." "We'll miss his stupid laugh." "We'll miss his two good hands." "Honey, marriage has nothing to do with sex." "Now a few presents for the bar mitzvah boy." "From the nurses..." "From the nurses, a pair of all-weather pajamas, tops only." " Hey." " You'll get the bottoms a week after you're home." "From the enlisted men, a matched pair of cockroaches... bronzed and suitable for use as cuff links." "You just killed my cuff links." "And from the hospital staff... a record album for those quiet evenings after the day's surgery has been botched." "Sonja Henie Sings Figure Eights For You." "Speech, speech, speech." "Speech." "Thanks." "Thanks, really." "I, uh, I appreciate it." "But as someone once said, no good deed ever goes unpunished." "I'm staying." "That's right, no joke." "The army in its infinite insanity says I can't go home." "They've given me several options... the least objectionable of which is staying here with... with you idiots in this upholstered men's room." "And as for you, Margaret, I'll see you tomorrow night." " Trap, you're kidding." " I can kid better than that." "I'm buying." "Milk for everybody." "Awful." "That's awful." "Time for your medication." "Yeah." "Three more weeks, that's all." "You'll be up and playing the violin again." "Swell." "And I'm a ballerina." " What's that?" " Tranquilizers." "They make you relax completely." " They don't work." " They do so." "Try it." "You first."
