Hawkeye: Why are we here? Why is this war going on? Why does North Korea want to invade America? Is it because of something we said or something we didn't say? What do they want from us? We have guns, they have guns, we have tanks, they want tanks. (edit)
Henry: (to Trapper) You know what? If we had any guts, you, me, and (pointing at Hawkeye) the Masked Marvel there would take the next latrine out of here and go home. (edit)
Trapper (to Hawkeye): Why don't you go to sleep? You're turning into a hundred and seventy pound fruitcake. (edit)
Henry: Do we have enough sherry and ginger ale for the general?
Radar: Oh, nobody does, sir.
Henry: Well fine, then, if nobody does, we don't have to. But make sure we do, just in case we don't. (edit)
Henry: I'm gonna be frank with you, Pierce.
Hawkeye: You're gonna be frank with me?
Henry: I mean blunt.
Hawkeye: Oh, that's good, otherwise Frank would try to be Henry with me. I don't think I could stand that. (edit)
