Quotes 

• Capt. Steven J. Newsome : I remember once, we had dead men stacked up like cordwood.

  Capt. Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce : Never a dull moment, huh?

• Capt. Steven J. Newsome : This is quite a lovely spot you have here.

  Capt. Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce : It's not much, but we like to call it hell.

  B.J. : We just came for a weekend. Now we may never leave.

  Capt. Steven J. Newsome : You're probably here on the American plan.

  Capt. Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce : Now, see here, Newsome, that remark shows a complete lack of respect, for this man's army and all that it stands for. And I resent the fact that you beat me to it.

  B.J. : So do I.

• Capt. Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce : Ah, walking in your sleep. Good way to get rest and exercise at the same time.

  Capt. Steven J. Newsome : Just a little insomnia. But I'm not gonna lose any sleep over it.

• Capt. Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce : Steve, it's Hawkeye.

  Capt. Steven J. Newsome : [in shock]  The blood won't come off. No matter what I do, it just stays there.

  B.J. : Just take it easy.

  Capt. Steven J. Newsome : See what I mean? Look at that. Never gonna go away. No matter how hard I scrub or--how much I wash, it's gonna stay there. Where do they come from? What do they--What do they expect me to do?

  [long pause. Newsome quietly starts crying] 

  Capt. Steven J. Newsome : I can't. I can't.
