• Colonel Sherman T. Potter : Driver, what ignoramus is responsible for this?

  Sgt. Hacker : Ah, any one of a dozen, sir. Would you mind signing this, please?

  Colonel Sherman T. Potter : Sign nothin'. We can't use any of this, Sergeant.

  Sgt. Hacker : It's all yours now.

  Colonel Sherman T. Potter : Mule fritters! You've gotta haul it back to H.Q.!

  Sgt. Hacker : I'm sorry, Colonel. I'm not authorized for returns. Would you mind signing this, please? I'm overdue at the 8063.

  Colonel Sherman T. Potter : Let 'em get their inflatable pool and swim fins an hour later. Didn't you wonder why you were delivering ice cream churns to a MASH unit in the middle of winter?

  Sgt. Hacker : Yeah, I used to wonder about stuff like that but it was keepin' me up nights, givin' me worry lines, so I cut it out.

  Colonel Sherman T. Potter : Very wise.

  Sgt. Hacker : Y'know, Colonel, if I was you, I would try and look on the bright side.

  Colonel Sherman T. Potter : [sarcastically]  There's a bright side?

  Sgt. Hacker : Oh, yeah. Summer is just six months away.
