- Frank Burns: Listen, Pierce, why don't you and I go out on the town tonight, hmm?
- Hawkeye: Well, this is so sudden, Frank, I don't have anything to wear.
- Frank Burns: Well, I mean, get a couple of nurses, go over to Rosie's bar, have a little fun.
- Hawkeye: Sounds good to me.
- Frank Burns: There's this little redheaded nurse who's had her eye on me. And tonight her wish will come true.
- Margaret: Do you mean that new girl with the freckles on her nose?
- Frank Burns: Yes, that's the one.
- Margaret: She's a little young for you, isn't she, Major Burns?
- Frank Burns: Oh, I don't know. I thought a little youth might be nice for a change.
- Capt. B.J. Hunnicut: The convoy just took a direct hit.
- Margaret: [miffed] If you'll excuse me, I'll just go finish my letter.
- Hawkeye: You need any help holding up your pen?
- Frank Burns: We got her on that one, didn't we?

- Margaret: Lips.
- Frank Burns: ...Lips aren't everything!

- Margaret: Oh yes. I couldn't love anyone who didn't outrank me.
- Col. Sherman T. Potter: How's Major Burns taking the news?
- Margaret: I haven't told him yet.
- Col. Sherman T. Potter: I have a suggestion. Break it to him over a cup of phenobarb.
- Col. Sherman T. Potter: [Margaret laughs] I'm not kidding.
