Capt. 'Trapper John' McIntyre : We're going to match the mother's blood type and the baby's blood type against yours.
Capt. Benjamin Franklin 'Hawkeye' Pierce : [checks Radar's dog tags] He's "B."
Cpl. Walter 'Radar' O'Reilly : Stop peeking at my blood.
Capt. 'Trapper John' McIntyre : And if the baby's blood type doesn't match yours, you're off the hook.
Cpl. Walter 'Radar' O'Reilly : And if it does?
Capt. Benjamin Franklin 'Hawkeye' Pierce : Then that means it's possible. In which case you either marry the young lady and take financial responsibility, or if you want the easy way out, we can adopt you and hide you in the attic.
