Col. Sherman T. Potter:
[Half asleep] I have two grandchildren myself.

Maj. Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan:

Maj. Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan:
Wait a minute...Is this stupid P.A. on?! Klinger, you idiot!

Klinger:
Major, wait! Oh no, please don't. It took me three hours to fix that--[Smash!] [Camp continues laughing]
