Quotes 

  • Maj. Frank Burns : [Frank catches Hawkeye rummaging through his things]  What are you doing there?

    Hawkeye : Oh, I just wanted to borrow your Bible, Frank.

    Maj. Frank Burns : Since when are you interested in the Bible?

    Army Capt. 'Trapper John' McIntyre : I peeked at the end, Frank. The Devil did it.

    Maj. Frank Burns : Shut up! Get off of there!

    [grabs Hawkeye and pulls him down off the bed] 

    Hawkeye : Hey, don't get physical, Frank. You'll blow your sainthood.

  • Maj. Frank Burns : Your conduct in there was not only unbecoming an officer, it was equally reprehensible as a medical man!

    Hawkeye : Frank, I happen to be an officer only because I foolishly opened an invitation from President Truman to come to this costume party. And as for my ability as a doctor, if you seriously question that, I'm just gonna have to challenge you to a duel.

  • Hawkeye : [General Hammond has put Hawkeye and Trapper under arrest]  What's the charge, General?

    Brig. Gen. Charlie Hammond : Breaking orders by having this party.

    Lt. Col. Henry Blake : And handing out unauthorized passes!

    [Takes the passes from Hawkeye] 

    Hawkeye : [Sees Frank, swathed in bandages, led in by Margaret; speaks mimicking Peter Lorre]  Uuuuuh! The mummy strikes!

  • Hawkeye : Sorry, baby.

    Margaret : That's Major to you!

    Hawkeye : Sorry, Major baby.

  • [Everyone has just come out of a long OR session] 

    Margaret : [angrily]  You're dismissed.

    Hawkeye : Thanks, Mother. We've gotta get up early, anyway, and fix MacArthur's hernia.

  • Hawkeye : Aw, great, we screwed up in reverse.

  • Hawkeye : Ya know we gotta do it someday. Invite all the jokers from the north and the south for a cocktail party... Last man standing on his feet at the end wins the war!

  • Hawkeye : Henry, you have no idea what it's like sharing a tent with a guy who thinks he's all twelve disciples!

  • [after literally kicking Maj. Burns out of The Swamp] 

    Hawkeye : I thought he'd never leave.

  • Hawkeye : [to Hot Lips]  Why don't you stop worrying about Elmer Gantry? Grab yourself a partner and give him a dancing physical.

  • Brig. Gen. Charlie Hammond : [Seeing Margaret Houlihan, with whom he once had a relationship]  Hot Lips!

    Hawkeye , Army Capt. 'Trapper John' McIntyre : [Turning to each other]  Hot Lips?

  • Army Capt. 'Trapper John' McIntyre : Bad news from my wife. She still loves me. Would you believe this? She still thinks I got sent to Korea as part of some secret plot to cheat on her.

    Hawkeye : Well, didn't you?

    Army Capt. 'Trapper John' McIntyre : Yeah, but how did she figure it out.

  • Army Capt. 'Trapper John' McIntyre : How are ya, Henry?

    Hawkeye : How are ya, Henry?

    Lt. Col. Henry Blake : That's not what you guys came to ask. I mean, the last thing you wanna know when you say, "How are you?" is how am I.

  • Hawkeye : Hey, Ho-Jon, come here. I got a letter from Dean Lodge.

    Army Capt. 'Trapper John' McIntyre : Is that a good place to stay?

  • Hawkeye : Frank's gone over to the enemy. They offered his a hundred more dollars a week and a royalty on bedpans.
