Maxwell Klinger, Colonel Sherman T. Potter:
[chanting] . Om, Mani Padme Hum.

Captain Benjamin Franklin Pierce:
Colonel?

Colonel Sherman T. Potter:
Yes, Pierce.

Captain Benjamin Franklin Pierce:
[looking at his CO & Klinger upside down chanting, bewildered & irritated] . Well, I had come in here in the hope of finding someone with whom I could have a nice, intelligent conversation but I see you're in no position to do that.

Colonel Sherman T. Potter:
[calm & collected] Pierce, you seem a trifle edgy.

Captain Benjamin Franklin Pierce:
[Wound up] I've gone over the "edgy." There's an international conspiracy to drive me crazy. Back in the Swamp, the upper crusts are toasting each other. Meanwhile, the head nurse is busy trying to yump on someone's yiminy. And I come in here only to find my complaints are falling on deaf feet.

Maxwell Klinger:
[calm & philosophical] Forgive me, Captain, but only through accepting others for what they are will you find true inner tranquility.

Captain Benjamin Franklin Pierce:
[sarcastic] You have to respect a man who looks you square in the toes when he talks to you.

Capt. Ramurti Lal:
[in agreement] The great guru Ramdas could not have said it better, Max. Uh, your neck? Has it improved?

Maxwell Klinger:
[relaxed] A lot. Never had an energy flow like this.

Captain Benjamin Franklin Pierce:
[sighs] Why fight it? I might as well go crazy and be inconspicuous.
