[Hawkeye and Carlye are talking about Carlye's marriage]
Capt. Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce : Any children?
Carlye Breslin Walton : No, not yet. We're still talking about that.
Capt. Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce : That's not how you get 'em. I just read a paper on that.

Capt. Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce : I hated you for a long time. Passionately. Hate: the real thing. If I'd met you during my celebrated blue period, I don't know what I'd have done.
Carlye Breslin Walton : I know I hurt ya, Hawk.
Capt. Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce : Hurt? You broke my legs. It really tore me apart when you left me.
Carlye Breslin Walton : There was no reason for you to feel that way, you know. You let it happen.
Capt. Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce : Well, I still felt betrayed. And mad as hell. Finally - finally, finally, finally, finally - I thought I'd gotten over it. I got over the hate, but I never got over the love. When you came into camp that first day, I heard this strange sound. It was my heart beating again. One look at you and it got a jump charge. I can't just *just* work around you.

[Carlye has decided to leave]
Carlye Breslin Walton : I can't stay here with you, with me, the way we are again.
Capt. Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce : "Be yourself," you said. Well, myself happens to love you. What can I do?
Carlye Breslin Walton : I love you.
Capt. Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce : Oh, *now* I understand! Since we're in love, there's no possible reason for us to stay together.

[Hawkeye poorly attempts to propose to Carlye]
Carlye Breslin Walton : Look at yourself! Looks where you are! You're trapped! You just proposed yourself into a corner.
Capt. Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce : So? However I did it, I did it.
Carlye Breslin Walton : You didn't propose to me. You proposed to yourself!
Capt. Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce : Well, I wanted to try it out on me first.

Carlye Breslin Walton : What have the other nurses said?

Capt. Benjamin Franklin 'Hawkeye' Pierce : Care for a bottle of khaki champagne?
Carlye Breslin Walton : My, there's lots of drinking over here, isn't there?
Capt. Benjamin Franklin 'Hawkeye' Pierce : Well, if truth is the first casualty of war, I guess sobriety is second. I bet Hannibal crossed the Alps on pink elephants.

Capt. Benjamin Franklin 'Hawkeye' Pierce : [Hawkeye and Carlye are saying goodbye] Do me a favor, huh?

Carlye Breslin Walton : [Carlye has put in for a transfer] I was going to tell you. I wouldn't have just slipped away.
Capt. Benjamin Franklin 'Hawkeye' Pierce : Well, it's always worked before.

Capt. Benjamin Franklin 'Hawkeye' Pierce : Last time turns out to be a warm-up for this time.
-
Carlye Breslin Walton : Doug was struggling when we got married.
Capt. Benjamin Franklin 'Hawkeye' Pierce : Struggling in ADVERTISING? What would've been the loss? One less huckster persuading America its breath is bad? That they're condemned to purgatory if their armpits don't smell like roses? I was training for medicine!
Carlye Breslin Walton : Maybe if you'd been just a little less good at it you might have needed me a little more. Doug is able to commit to something beyond his work. Happily, I am that something.
-
Carlye Breslin Walton : How about you?
Capt. Benjamin Franklin 'Hawkeye' Pierce : Children? No. I'm still my only child.
Carlye Breslin Walton : No one has gotten you to wear a topknot?
Capt. Benjamin Franklin 'Hawkeye' Pierce : Huh?
Carlye Breslin Walton : Is there a Mrs. Benjamin Franklin Pierce?
Capt. Benjamin Franklin 'Hawkeye' Pierce : My ring finger is clean. I remain un-betrothed, my bachelorhood intact. A solitary figure seemingly sentenced to singleness.
