"Dear Dad,
Copy !req
2. "Sorry I haven't
written sooner,
Copy !req
3. "but you know how the work
piles up around here.
Copy !req
4. "Korea's pretty much
the same story.
Copy !req
5. "The fighting goes on,
the hatred, the violence,
Copy !req
6. "the senseless brutality,
men behaving like animals.
Copy !req
7. "Then, of course,
there's the war.
Copy !req
8. "Business, unfortunately,
remains very brisk.
Copy !req
9. "I think you know by now
I'm not being flip,
Copy !req
10. "but doing meatball surgery,
you either develop
Copy !req
11. "a thick skin or you wind up
in the Tokyo Giggling Academy."
Copy !req
12. Oh, wow, what a mess.
Copy !req
13. Stomach...
Copy !req
14. kidney— liver...
Copy !req
15. What is this,
an organ recital?
Copy !req
16. Keep it down!
Copy !req
17. I'm doing something
very difficult, here.
Copy !req
18. Trying to tie your shoe
again, Frank?
Copy !req
19. Colonel Blake, could
we have some measure
Copy !req
20. of military discipline?
Copy !req
21. Good idea.
Copy !req
22. Everybody up
for callisthenics.
Copy !req
23. Care to join me for
some push-ups, Hot Lips?
Copy !req
24. Oh, really!
Copy !req
25. Knock it off!
Copy !req
26. "Luckily, we've got an extra
pair of hands these days.
Copy !req
27. "Captain Adam Casey.
Copy !req
28. "He's really a fine surgeon,
every bit as good as I am,
Copy !req
29. "and I'll get him
for it."
Copy !req
30. You wanna give me a hand
with these intestines.
Copy !req
31. - They're shot to pieces.
- Okay, gimme a retractor.
Copy !req
32. "The work may be
hard and ugly,
Copy !req
33. "but we can always count
on the North Koreans
Copy !req
34. "to hand us
a couple of laughs."
Copy !req
35. - Oh, what is that?
Copy !req
36. - MAN: They got the generator.
- We need some lights
in here.
Copy !req
37. All right,
nobody panic. Let's keep cool.
Copy !req
38. Well, who's panicking?
Who's panicking?
Copy !req
39. - HENRY: You're panicking, Frank!
- I can't see anything.
Copy !req
40. - So?
- But it's dark!
Copy !req
41. Shove any patients you
can't finish under a table.
Copy !req
42. - They'll be safe there.
Copy !req
43. How the hell did you get
in the army, Frank?
Copy !req
44. - 3-0 silk.
- 3-0 silk.
Copy !req
45. - Suture scissors.
- Suture scissors.
Copy !req
46. Snoo.
Copy !req
47. "Snoo?"
What's "snoo"?
Copy !req
48. Nothing much.
What's "snoo" with you?
Copy !req
49. Can't you ever
be serious?
Copy !req
50. I tried it once.
Everybody laughed.
Copy !req
51. "And so it goes.
Copy !req
52. "Here comes Corporal Klinger,
one of our orderlies.
Copy !req
53. "A nice guy whose only
purpose in life
Copy !req
54. "is to get out
of the army,
Copy !req
55. "a purpose shared by three
of four million of us,
Copy !req
56. "only Klinger,
he'll stop at nothing."
Copy !req
57. - Come in.
Copy !req
58. Captain, I have the X-rays
you wanted to look over.
Copy !req
59. Thank you.
Copy !req
60. Uh, Klinger...
Copy !req
61. Do you mind a little
constructive criticism?
Copy !req
62. No, sir.
Copy !req
63. First of all,
it's gorgeous.
Copy !req
64. It's so easy to go
overboard with one of those,
Copy !req
65. but that's tasteful
without being gaudy.
Copy !req
66. Thank you, sir.
Copy !req
67. Just one suggestion,
you must wear a slip.
Copy !req
68. With the sun behind you,
I could see clear through
Copy !req
69. to your shorts.
Copy !req
70. Of course, and I've got
so many slips in my tent.
Copy !req
71. Thanks for the x-rays.
Copy !req
72. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
73. May I ask where
you got that?
Copy !req
74. Mail-order
catalog, sir.
Copy !req
75. A white wedding gown?
Copy !req
76. I'm entitled.
Copy !req
77. I'm a virgin.
Copy !req
78. "I guess the sanest guy
in the outfit
Copy !req
79. "is Father Mulcahy.
Copy !req
80. "It's a wonder
he doesn't go deaf
Copy !req
81. "from the sound of
all the commandments
Copy !req
82. "breaking around here."
Copy !req
83. Father?
Is everything all right?
Copy !req
84. It's my back.
Copy !req
85. You throw it out?
Copy !req
86. No, but
I'd sure like to.
Copy !req
87. Let's go in the tent.
I'll take a look at it.
Copy !req
88. Thanks.
Copy !req
89. Thanks, Captain Casey.
Copy !req
90. Do you have a history
of back trouble?
Copy !req
91. Started in Jesuit school.
All that kneeling.
Copy !req
92. You stay with your back
toward me, Father,
Copy !req
93. and just relax.
Copy !req
94. How's that feel?
Copy !req
95. Better.
Copy !req
96. My back really
feels better.
Copy !req
97. Good, good.
Copy !req
98. Now you just try and take
it easy for a few days,
Copy !req
99. and stay off
your knees.
Copy !req
100. Thank you very much,
Doctor.
Copy !req
101. - Father?
- Yes?
Copy !req
102. It's all right.
Copy !req
103. Oh, doctor, one good turn
deserves another.
Copy !req
104. Father...
Copy !req
105. Can we consider this
a confessional?
Copy !req
106. I am a priest.
Copy !req
107. I'm...
not a doctor.
Copy !req
108. Ooh! Ooh!
Copy !req
109. "I don't want you to think
this is a madhouse, Dad.
Copy !req
110. "We're nowhere near
that organized.
Copy !req
111. "What we are mainly
is bored.
Copy !req
112. "Bored right out
of our skulls."
Copy !req
113. Nothing fazes
anybody here!
Copy !req
114. - What's the matter with you?
- Zero! Everybody's a cipher.
Copy !req
115. - An army of walking zilches.
- All of a sudden—
Copy !req
116. I'm telling you, I could
walk around this compound—
Copy !req
117. I bet you I could walk
into that mess tent,
Copy !req
118. order lunch,
stark-naked,
Copy !req
119. nobody would pay
any attention to me.
Copy !req
120. Are you crazy?
Copy !req
121. I betcha 50 bucks.
Copy !req
122. A little drink
before lunch?
Copy !req
123. I don't mind if I do.
Copy !req
124. One for the road,
as it were.
Copy !req
125. I have always relied upon
the kindness of strangers.
Copy !req
126. We don't usually serve
people without neckties.
Copy !req
127. Shall we?
Copy !req
128. After you.
Copy !req
129. 50 bucks.
Copy !req
130. I left my pockets
back in the Swamp.
Copy !req
131. Now, that's tasteful
without being gaudy.
Copy !req
132. "It's very quiet at
the moment, Dad.
Copy !req
133. "The only man in sight
is Radar O'Reilly,
Copy !req
134. "an amazing kid.
Copy !req
135. "I've never put much
stock in ESP,
Copy !req
136. "but if it is possible
for one person
Copy !req
137. "to read another
person's mind,
Copy !req
138. "Radar has that ability,
the little fink."
Copy !req
139. Is that a nice
thing to say?
Copy !req
140. "I don't know what Henry Blake
would do without Radar.
Copy !req
141. "And I don't know what
we'd do without Henry.
Copy !req
142. "But I can't wait to get
home and find out."
Copy !req
143. Uh, sir?
Copy !req
144. - Yes, Radar?
- Are you busy?
Copy !req
145. No, no-no, no.
Copy !req
146. - Uh, sign these, please, sir.
- Righty-o.
Copy !req
147. Oh, for...
Copy !req
148. My dad's pen.
Copy !req
149. Oh...
Copy !req
150. What's this, Radar?
Copy !req
151. That's personal, sir.
Copy !req
152. Well, you can tell me.
Copy !req
153. My name's on it.
Copy !req
154. Well, I'm, uh, taking
this correspondence course
Copy !req
155. from the Triple-A
High School Diploma Company
Copy !req
156. of Dellavin, Indiana.
Copy !req
157. - The Triple-A—
- High School Diploma Company

Copy !req
158. - I see.
- Mm-hmm. Uh-huh.
Copy !req
159. Well, uh...
It's final week—
Copy !req
160. And you want me to take you
to the senior prom, right?
Copy !req
161. Oh, no...
Copy !req
162. Oh, no, uh...
Copy !req
163. That says that I passed
my final exam.
Copy !req
164. How do I know you
passed your final exam?
Copy !req
165. You must, sir.
You signed it.
Copy !req
166. Uh, easy, Radar.
Copy !req
167. Now, you know me.
I'll sign anything army.
Copy !req
168. I mean, uh, I'll sign
the surrender papers.
Copy !req
169. But I've got a reputation
and a civilian practice
Copy !req
170. to think about,
Copy !req
171. and the last thing I need
in this world is trouble
Copy !req
172. from the Triple-A
High School Diploma Company
Copy !req
173. of, uh, Dellavin, Indiana.
Copy !req
174. I'm sorry, sir.
Copy !req
175. You know, if you want,
you could give me the test.
Copy !req
176. I just didn't want
to take up your time.
Copy !req
177. Oh, that's no problem.
Copy !req
178. I mean, the war's, uh,
pretty slow right now.
Copy !req
179. Where's the test?
Copy !req
180. Oh, it's here, sir, in this
officially sealed envelope.
Copy !req
181. The seal's broken.
Copy !req
182. Oh?
Copy !req
183. Well, that must
have been the censor.
Copy !req
184. They're always on the lookout
for a dirty question.
Copy !req
185. Now, let's see here.
Copy !req
186. All right, Radar,
take a piece of paper,
Copy !req
187. and a pencil,
and, uh, sit down.
Copy !req
188. Comfortable?
Copy !req
189. C-O-M-F-O—
Copy !req
190. - No, no, no, no, no, no.
- R—
Copy !req
191. That was just
a rhetorical question.
Copy !req
192. Oh.
Copy !req
193. Well, I don't
study those.
Copy !req
194. Study what?
Copy !req
195. Rhetoricals?
Copy !req
196. Come on, Radar.
Stop horsing around.
Copy !req
197. Um, I, uh...
I'm very nervous, sir.
Copy !req
198. Well, look, um, uh,
take a deep breath.
Copy !req
199. That makes me throw up.
Copy !req
200. Look, just settle down.
Copy !req
201. Uh, now, this is not
gonna be difficult.
Copy !req
202. There.
Good boy.
Copy !req
203. Okay?
Copy !req
204. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
205. First question.
Copy !req
206. Um, "what is

Copy !req
207. "with two equal sides?"
Copy !req
208. The Gettysburg Address.
Copy !req
209. "For which speech
is Abraham Lincoln
most remembered?"
Copy !req
210. The isosceles triangle.
Copy !req
211. Something wrong?
Copy !req
212. No, no, no.
Copy !req
213. No, your answers
are right.
Copy !req
214. Oh...
Copy !req
215. You just memorized them
in the wrong order.
Copy !req
216. Well, I just peeked
at the first few.
Copy !req
217. That's cheating.
Copy !req
218. It's my only chance.
Copy !req
219. Nonsense, Radar.
Copy !req
220. Now, you're smart enough
to get through this
Copy !req
221. on your own.
Copy !req
222. - Okay?
- Okay.
Copy !req
223. Now, uh, I'm gonna

246. "and Frank was only
interested in her bones.

I never liked you.
Copy !req
258. Hiya, Chuckles.
Copy !req
259. I gotta hand it
to you, Frank.
Copy !req
260. You got all the gaiety
of an impacted wisdom tooth.
Copy !req

Copy !req
265. A drink?
You, Frank?

266. A double.
Copy !req
267. Frank, if you have a drink,
you'll loosen up.
Copy !req
268. You might even smile.
Copy !req
269. Frank, you could break
your face!
Copy !req
270. And leave out
the olive.
Copy !req
271. You want to talk
about it, Frank?
Copy !req
272. I don't want to talk

You're very handsome.
- Honest?
Copy !req
303. - Honest.
- Really?
Copy !req
304. - Do you think
he looks like a weasel?
- Who?
Copy !req
305. Ferret Face!
Copy !req
306. Hey, I had a brother
used to call me that.
Copy !req
307. Frank, go to sleep.
You look beautiful.
Copy !req
308. Say, you sure you don't
love me just for my body?
Copy !req
309. Believe me, Frank,
that's the last thing
Copy !req
310. we love about you.
Go to sleep.
Copy !req
311. Come on, you guys,
let's do something!
Copy !req
312. Hey, knock it off over there!
Copy !req
313. Oh, yeah? How'd you like
to step inside and say that?
Copy !req
314. Come on, fellas.
Let's do something.
Copy !req
315. We don't want to do anything.
Copy !req
316. Then I'll do something.
Copy !req
317. - What should I do?
- Fall down, Frank.
Copy !req
318. Right.
Copy !req
319. - How do you like the color?
- I love it.
Copy !req
320. Can I see you for
a second, Hawkeye?
Copy !req
321. I told you not
to disturb me during
the Korean War.
Copy !req
322. You know, I love
your blood type.
Copy !req
323. I've always liked girls
with your blood type...
Copy !req
324. Uh, it's important.
Copy !req
325. Go away!
Copy !req
326. This young lady of
the nurse persuasion and I
Copy !req
327. are discussing
the possibility
of a surrender.
Copy !req
328. She's giving me
her terms right now.
Copy !req
329. Why don't we go back
to my place and—
Copy !req
330. Uh, I think you're gonna
want to see this.
Copy !req
331. W-w-where are you
going right now?
Copy !req
332. - To the nurses' shower.
- Good, then I'll see you.
Copy !req
333. Unless they plugged up
the hole.
Copy !req
334. - Important, huh?
- Yep.
Copy !req
335. It better be, or I'm putting
your appendix back.
Copy !req
336. Terrific.
Copy !req
337. Captain Casey, huh?
Copy !req
338. - I'm gonna go talk
to him right now.
- After the choppers.
Copy !req
339. - What choppers?
- RADAR: Wait for it.
Copy !req
340. Attention, all personnel.
Copy !req
341. Incoming choppers
with wounded.
Copy !req
342. Report to the hospital,
all personnel.
Copy !req
343. - Very good work, Captain Casey.
- Thank you, Father.
Copy !req
344. I'll give you
a hand here.
Copy !req
345. It's all right,
Captain.
Copy !req
346. Better let me give you
a hand, Sergeant.
Copy !req
347. The provost marshal has
a circular out on you.
Copy !req
348. You're hot, fella.
Copy !req
349. Are you gonna blow
the whistle?
Copy !req
350. Be off the base in
24 hours, and never, repeat,
Copy !req
351. never touch a patient again
without a licence.
Copy !req
352. And contact me
the minute you get one.
Copy !req
353. You're a damn
good surgeon.
Copy !req
354. On the level?
Copy !req
355. Next to you, Frank Burns
is an alterations lady.
Copy !req
356. Thanks.
Copy !req
357. I gotta ask you
one question.
Copy !req
358. "Why?"
Copy !req
359. Well, I've passed myself
off as a teacher,
Copy !req
360. a lawyer, an engineer.
Copy !req
361. I can do it all.
Copy !req
362. I just never had
the patience
Copy !req
363. to go through it
by the numbers.
Copy !req
364. I guess I never
had the drive
Copy !req
365. to get the diploma,
the permit, whatever.
Copy !req
366. Try it once.
Copy !req
367. You'll be great, Casey.
Copy !req
368. Schwartz, actually.
Copy !req
369. "I forgot to thank you for
sending me your old tuxedo.
Copy !req

372. Thank you, thank you,
