Quotes:

Maj. Frank Burns: [Hawkeye just gave Frank a shot in the behind] Feels like you left a rock in there!
Hawkeye: Maybe one slipped down from you head?
Maj. Frank Burns: You broke a needle off in me, didn't you?
Hawkeye: Frank, these few moments with you have contributed more to my back pain than my army cot, and that's going some
Maj. Frank Burns: If you care anything for human life, you'll feel my lumps before you go.
Hawkeye: Leave 'em under my pillow. I'll give 'em a squeeze before I go to sleep.
