Hawkeye: (waking up with a hangover; talking in a normal voice) Trapper? Trapper?
Trapper: (also waking up with a hangover) I'm not gonna talk unless you stop screaming. (edit) Trapper: Why don't we have an incubator here so we can do our own tests?
Nurse: Because it would save time, and effort, and it would make sense.
Hawkeye: We can't have any of that in the Army.
(edit) (regarding the requisition of the incubator being denied)
Hawkeye: We're not asking for a jukebox or a pizza oven.
Sloan: Oh, those I can let you have.
Henry: No kidding? Hey, those would be great on movie nights! Uh, you got any pizza requisition forms?
Sloan: Just use the standard S- 1798 and write in 'pizza' where it says 'machine gun.' (edit) (After hearing that Radar got them an incubator)
Trapper: And we went all the way up to a General.
Hawkeye: And a little corporal shall lead them.
Radar: You just gotta learn to start at the top! (edit) Reporter #1: What exactly is an incubator?
Trapper: It grows germs.
Reporter #2: General, are we involved in germ warfare?
Gen. Mitchell: That's a lie! (edit)

General Mitchell said the US army was the best equipped fighting force since the Romans crossed the Alps into Spain, but the Alps are in Italy. The Pyrenees are what they would have had to cross to get into Spain. (edit) Hawkeye demands a bag of ice from a nurse and his hair is tousled. In the next scene his hair is suddenly combed.
(edit) The first operational B-52 (B-52B 52-8711)was delivered by Boeing on 29 June 1955, after the end of hostilities in Korea. (edit) According to the Chief Historian at Nellis AFB, B-52s were used in Korea in the early 50s. (edit) The base commander says that given a few days, he can get anything, even a B-52. B-52s were not around until after the Korean War. (edit)

Hawkeye: And a little corporal shall lead them.

An allusion to the often used biblical/Christian phrase “And a child shall lead them”
