Playing Drunk: Hawkeye and B.J. pretend to be drunk while talking loudly about Charles's tape recorder to bait the real thief into making a move on it.
Aug 17, 2019 · Considered to be one of the series’ best episodes, the fourth season finale of M*A*S*H titled “The Interview” is well-known for its break from the usual format of the show. Instead of being in color, it’s done entirely in black-and-white. As the title implies, the episode revolves around a series of interviews conducted by a war correspondent to each member of …
Members of the 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital care for the injured during the Korean War and use humor to escape from the horror and depression of the situation. Among the 4077's people are Capts. Benjamin "Hawkeye" Pierce and "Trapper John" McIntire, Majs. Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan and Frank Burns, and Cpl. Walter "Radar" O'Reilly.

Klinger has his day in court but, no thanks to Charles, it may also be Klinger's last day of freedom, but Hawkeye and B.J. have cooked up a plan of their own to catch the real thief.
After telling Klinger of the severe sentence he would face if found guilty, Potter mentions that the whole thing could be called off if Klinger incriminated the suspected thief ring. Unfortunately, while Klinger would have done that in a heartbeat, he possessed no such knowledge.
This includes Corporal Maxwell Klinger, who says this quote.
Of all the characters in the M*A*S*H TV series, Hawkeye arguably said the most sarcastic and funniest lines. Though sometimes in cases like the above quote from him, it’s a mixture of both.
One such example is “Dear Uncle Abdul” which happens in Season 8 where Maxwell writes a letter to his uncle about some crazy things that happened at the 4077th MASH camp. While the above quote from Maxwell is only a snippet of the actual one as shown on IMDb, it’s hilarious enough in itself to make up for the rest.
So Hawkeye’s line becomes funny due to its relation to his state of mind as signified by the obvious sarcasm tone-wise.
Because Frank was always following the rules, this made him an easy target for people like Hawkeye who enjoyed pulling pranks. Though in the case of the Season 1 M*A*S*H episode “Germ Warfare,” Frank became the center of a scheme that involved having a blood sample involuntarily taken from him to heal a POW patient and then subsequently being quarantined out of fear that he had hepatitis due to the same symptoms showing up in the patient (though it turned out he actually had anemia).
The reason for this is that they want to secede from the US Army out of fatigue in relation to the Korean War’s toll on their workload as surgeons. So they declare Rosie’s Bar as its own nation with the motto being “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happy Hour.”.
Following the success of the original M*A*S*H movie in 1970, which intentionally critiqued the Vietnam War under the guise of a situational comedy set in the Korean War, a pilot for the TV show version was made two years later. With it came some noticeable changes between the film and the TV show such as Hawkeye sharing a tent with Major Frank ...
Captain Benjamin Franklin Pierce:#N#[to Clayton after Nurse Lacey motions to him in Post Op] Ah, would you excuse me for one second? Uh, it's, uh, a call to the wild.
And he was just kidding around... [emotions swill and finally peak] HE PUSHED ME! [sobs loudly] AAAH-HAAAAH! WHY'D HE DO THAT? I LOVED HIM! I LOVED HIM! I HATED HIM! WHY'D HE PUSH ME? I got back in the boat, and he said to me, "you're so clumsy. If it wasn't for me, you'd be dead." And I thanked him. He pushed me into the water, and I hated him so much for that, and all I could do was thank him.
Hawkeye:#N#[reading letter] "I want us to adopt him, honey. He'd be the son we never had. I know the girls would be out of their little minds to have a brother. This is a decision we both have to make. Think about it carefully. You know my feelings, now it's really in your hands." That's beautiful.
Hawkeye:#N#Frank, you know what a hero is? Ninety-nine times out of a hundred, he's somebody who's tired enough and cold enough and hungry enough not to give a damn. I don't give a damn. Come on.
Major Charles Winchester:#N#[to the nurses] Triage is a French word from the verb "Trier", meaning to sift or separate. There are three priorities: Those who need care at once in order to be saved, those who can wait, and those who are beyond hope.
Col. Potter:#N# Boy, you must think I am the biggest dunce since the monkey wrapped his tail around the flagpole. Don't you think that's what I told him? I can take care of my job. You go act like a sergeant, unless you want to try something lower.
Col. Potter:#N#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!
