  Cpl. Walter 'Radar' O'Reilly : [to Hawkeye and Trapper]  Boy, I don't mind telling you now, boy I was really scared on that bridge. I hear if they take you prisoner, they hit you in places that are better left un-hit. Oh, you guys were really great with those casualties, though. You know, I was thinking I'd like to be a doctor when I get back to the real world. But I don't like being around sick people that much, so I guess that would be a drawback. I'm, uh, packing your pajamas. Maybe I shouldn't even bother, huh? You guys are really something. I don't know how you do it. I mean, 16 hours of surgery, 36 hours before that, a trip to the bridge and back, and now you're going to Tokyo. Well if you ask me, you guys are like Supermen. You're all set.

  [Radar turns around to see Hawkeye and Trapper have fallen asleep in exhaustion. He puts them to bed] 

  Cpl. Walter 'Radar' O'Reilly : [Whispering]  Good night, Supermen.

• Cpl. Walter 'Radar' O'Reilly : Sign here, Colonel.

  Lt. Col. Henry Blake : Radar, I spent the entire morning signing my name. Why didn't you have me sign this while I was signing all those other things I was signing my name to, which I didn't know why I was signing them either?

  Capt. Benjamin Franklin 'Hawkeye' Pierce : Signing.

• Lt. Col. Henry Blake : Radar, I'll need a driver and a corpsman.

  Cpl. Walter 'Radar' O'Reilly : Volunteers, sir?

  Lt. Col. Henry Blake : Thank you, Radar. I knew I could count on you.

  Cpl. Walter 'Radar' O'Reilly : [Moments later]  Uh, sir?

  Lt. Col. Henry Blake : Yo.

  Cpl. Walter 'Radar' O'Reilly : Uh, excuse me, but I think you volunteered me a little quick there.
