Capt. Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce:
You're not eating, Father. You know something I don't know?

Father Mulcahy:
Something's troubling me.

Capt. Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce:
Think of me as your mother, Father.

Father Mulcahy:
May I make a confession?

Capt. Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce:
As long as you don't use any real names.

Father Mulcahy:
For some time now, I've been comparing the disparity of our callings - Doctor versus priest. You fellows are always able to see the end result of your work. I mean, you know immediately if you've been successful. For me, the results are far less tangible. Sometimes... most of the time... I honestly don't know whether I'm doing any good or not.

Capt. Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce:
I used to have a professor in med school who always said, "God cures the patients, but the doctor takes the fee."

Father Mulcahy:
Do you think that's true?

Capt. Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce:
I'm able to do a lot of things in surgery that I'm not really good enough to do.

Father Mulcahy:
Thanks, Hawkeye.
