B.J.:
A big glass of fresh, ice cold milk.

Hawkeye:
For me, a banana. And of course, what's a banana without a piece of chocolate cake?

[Some other people in the O.R. laugh]

Hawkeye:
What are you laughing at? It's wonderful.

Maj. Margaret Houlihan:
It is delicious - I'm going to take a three-hour bubble bath.

Nurses:
Oh, yeah.

Maj. Margaret Houlihan:
How about you, Colonel - what's the first thing you want when you get home?

Col. Potter:
Well, I like fresh corn. I mean real fresh corn. So I think maybe I'll just take a hot plate out to the garden, make a pot of boiling water, then I won't even pick that corn - I'll bend that stalk till the ear dips into the water, and I'll eat it right there standing up. Scrumptious!

Maj. Margaret Houlihan:
How about you, Charles, what are you looking forward to?

Maj. Winchester:
I am looking forward to a hemostat.

Maj. Margaret Houlihan:
[handing Winchester a hemostat] Hemostat - there's no need to bite my head off.

Maj. Winchester:

Maj. Margaret Houlihan:
[handing Winchester a sponge] Sponge. You know, I just don't see why some people can't be grateful if other people try to help them.

Maj. Winchester:
Don't you?

Maj. Margaret Houlihan:
I think a person is lucky if somebody cares enough to help. Where would I be without my father's help?

Maj. Winchester:
Oh, where indeed? He's pulling in three different directions, if you get any luckier, there's going to be a piece of you in every corner of the world.

Maj. Margaret Houlihan:
Maybe some people just can't feel gratitude.

Maj. Winchester:
Maybe some people like having other people run their lives, but some people don't.
