Lt. Col. Henry Braymore Blake:
[answering phone] MASH 4077th, Colonel Blake here. When? How? Wow!

Cpl. Walter Eugene 'Radar' O'Reilly:
[curious about the phone call] What is it?

Lt. Col. Henry Braymore Blake:
[covers phone] Oh, a Korean national on a bicycle, his family, their furniture and a pig made a bad turn and sent one of our ambulances over an embankment. [on phone] Was anyone hurt? Yeah? Yeah. [covers phone] Well, they pulled six business girls out of the ambulance, they're ok, but the General's dead. He's been killed. [on phone] General Who? Kelly?

Cpl. Walter Eugene 'Radar' O'Reilly:
Wow!

Lt. Col. Henry Braymore Blake:
General Kelly's been killed!

Capt. Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce:
You'd think the girls would have broken his fall!

Lt. Col. Henry Braymore Blake:
Lord, he was just here! Well, what's he doing in an ambulance? I didn't know he was sick!

Colonel Wortman:
[takes phone from Col. Blake] Colonel Wortman here, General Kelly's aide. Now listen carefully, this is an order. Take the General's body, put it in a Jeep, and drive it up to G sector.

Cpl. Walter Eugene 'Radar' O'Reilly:
Uh, sir, there's no fighting there, just diarrhea.

Colonel Wortman:
[covers phone] I'll provide the fighting. [on phone] Get on with it! [talking to Radar again] Get me Kimpo Air base. I want a squadron of jets. And get me the Navy for some offshore bombardment. Major General Robert "Iron Guts" Kelly is gonna perish in a full-scale, blazing, all-out glorious, star-spangled bannered death.

Lt. Col. Henry Braymore Blake:
[walks over to talk to Hawkeye and Trapper] Hey guys.

Army Capt. "Trapper John" McIntyre:
Yes, Henry.

Lt. Col. Henry Braymore Blake:
Is he talking about killing a General who's already dead?

Army Capt. "Trapper John" McIntyre:
That's right, Henry.

Lt. Col. Henry Braymore Blake:
Well, uh, isn't that sort of crazy?

Colonel Wortman:
[on phone] And rockets! I want plenty of rockets!

Capt. Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce:
That's for the red glare.
