- Winchester: Where did Klinger put the post-op files?
  Margaret: I don't know, look under "p".
  Winchester: Post-op under "p"? That is the one place I know it would not be. These were not filed by a homosapien. The last files I found were under "g" for "getting better".
  Margaret: Than what do you think we should do?
  Winchester: Burn the damn place down and take a tax loss.

  Col. Potter: Padre, go ask a pig and a horse. Whichever one gives you a better answer, that's the one. Now let me in my blessed office! I've never rassled a priest before, but God knows you're giving a reason to.(He pushes the door open and sees the mess) What in Samuel Hill hit this place?!
  Margaret: This is not as bad as it looks.
  Col. Potter: NOTHING could be as bad as this looks!
