Quotes 

• B.J. : [Earlier, Hawkeye barked at hospitalized Radar]  Gee, you have a marvelous effect on people.

  Col. Potter : [Enters the Swamp; to Hawkeye]  What the hell is the matter with you? Are you nuts?

  Hawkeye : I think I must be, yes.

  Col. Potter : I think you are. I no sooner give you a lecture on one patient, then you go in and try to destroy another! Maybe we should aim you at the Chinese.

  Margaret : [Enters; to Hawkeye]  I'd like to talk to you.

  B.J. : This oughta be good.

  Margaret : What is the matter with you?

  Col. Potter : Just a minute, Major, I have something to say on that subject myself.

  Margaret : Just hang on, you'll get your turn.

  Col. Potter : I'll get my turn? I'm the commanding officer!

• Father Mulcahy : [Hawkeye has just lost it with a hospitalized Radar]  I just left Radar. Now, Hawkeye, please accept this with the spirit intended. You're under enormous pressure here and I'm... I just want to know one little thing... Have you lost your mind?

  Hawkeye : Father, you don't know how sorry I am.

  Father Mulcahy : I mean tha - that boy is lying there in a hospital bed with tubes sticking out of body and you... You call him a ninny?

  Hawkeye : Father...

  Father Mulcahy : I'm incensed! I am outraged! Where is your decency, man? Your humanity? I am acrimonious! I am not a man given to physical demonstrations of emotion, but let me tell you, I am persuaded to violence!

  Hawkeye : Go ahead, Father.

  Father Mulcahy : Well, I think I will!

  [kicks down the stove] 

  B.J. : I'm glad you let it out, Father.

  Father Mulcahy : Well as a matter of fact, I found it *particularly* unsatisfying. And if you want to know the *truth*, it is entirely possible I have *broken* my toe!

• Radar : [confiding]  I don't think that this place is turning out to be that great an experience for me. I work under terrible pressures, and there's lots of death and destruction and stuff. But other than that, I don't think I'm getting much out of it.

  B.J. : I knew there was something wrong with this place.

  Radar : I mean, the army's supposed to... it's well, it's supposed to make a man out of you, isn't it?

  Hawkeye : It depends which sex you are to start with. You have to meet them halfway.
