Quotes
-
Capt. Benjamin Franklin 'Hawkeye' Pierce : You're turning down the chance to be seen with the Porfirio Rubirosa of Ouijongbu.
Nurse Carrie Donovan : What a tongue twister.
Capt. Benjamin Franklin 'Hawkeye' Pierce : Oh, you've heard about me.

Nurse Carrie Donovan : We didn't plan that. We're still human beings, you know, no matter how hard we try not to be.
Capt. B.J. Hunnicutt : Yes, I know, and I'm still afraid.
Nurse Carrie Donovan : Of what?
Capt. B.J. Hunnicutt : Of you. Because you're right here, and you're so attractive and so close.
Nurse Carrie Donovan : And so vulnerable.
Capt. B.J. Hunnicutt : Yes.
Nurse Carrie Donovan : You don't trust yourself.
[B.J. scoffs]
Nurse Carrie Donovan : B.J., just because I'm across the compound doesn't mean you can waltz into my tent whenever you want to. I needed you that night, and you were there. I'll always love you for that. It doesn't mean it's ever gonna happen again. I can work out my own problem. I don't expect you to be the answer to it. Does that make it easier?
Capt. B.J. Hunnicutt : Yes... and no.
Nurse Carrie Donovan : We can be friends.
Capt. B.J. Hunnicutt : Yes, we can.
Nurse Carrie Donovan : Closer than most.
[They both grin]
Nurse Carrie Donovan : Still friends.
Capt. B.J. Hunnicutt : Carrie... you're very special.
Nurse Carrie Donovan : I like you, too.

Capt. Benjamin Franklin 'Hawkeye' Pierce : Donovan, you look like a new woman. Not that there was anything wrong with the old one.
Nurse Carrie Donovan : Thanks. I feel better.
Capt. Benjamin Franklin 'Hawkeye' Pierce : Well, why shouldn't we all feel good? Our work is so rewarding. Always lending a helping hand. Doing unto others.
Capt. B.J. Hunnicutt : Hawk, your mouth runneth over.
Capt. Benjamin Franklin 'Hawkeye' Pierce : I'm just teasing. I mean, do I know what I'm saying? Whatever it is, I don't mean it. Should I go?
Capt. B.J. Hunnicutt : Just stop talking.
Capt. Benjamin Franklin 'Hawkeye' Pierce : I will as soon as I get my foot out of my mouth. I think I'll put it someplace else.
[He rises to leave]
Capt. Benjamin Franklin 'Hawkeye' Pierce : Ah, I'm being paged at the pool. Well, you two carry on.
[laughs]
Capt. Benjamin Franklin 'Hawkeye' Pierce : Strike that. This is me leaving. Here I go. Bye. So long.

Nurse Carrie Donovan : I know how you feel. You feel guilty. But you're blaming me.
Capt. B.J. Hunnicutt : No, I'm not. I'm blaming myself.
Nurse Carrie Donovan : Only partly. Look, I get your anger every time I come near you. I don't need it.
Capt. B.J. Hunnicutt : Carrie, I'm sorry, but you know what happened. I got this enormous attack of the guilts. I've never done that before. I'm hopelessly, passionately in love with my wife.
Nurse Carrie Donovan : What's wrong with that?
Capt. B.J. Hunnicutt : I don't wanna mess that up. I feel like I've betrayed her.
Nurse Carrie Donovan : Why? Because you were kind and considerate and sweet to me? Because I was in despair one night, and you helped me through it? Are you ashamed of it?
Capt. B.J. Hunnicutt : No, of course not, but there was more to it than that.
