"There's no paperwork that can't wait until tomorrow."
Hawkeye is trying to play a game of chess with Major Winchester. Colonel Potter enters the Swamp and announces that battalion aid needs a surgeon. BJ is getting a haircut in Seoul and it is his turn. Hawkeye has to go in his place. When BJ returns, he is angry with himself for not being there. Then he learns that a doctor had been killed up at the aid station. BJ mourns Hawkeye until he finds one of Hawkeye's sutures in a patient. Meanwhile, Hawkeye, at the aid station, is making out his will and having flashbacks. He remembers drinking with Winchester and how they dressed the major in a skirt when he passed out. He remembers how Father Mulcahy ruined General Kratzer's gourmet dinner. He remembers making jokes with Margaret as they are doing inventory in the supply hut. He remembers sharing fishing stories with Colonel Potter and how Klinger traded some salami for an issue of Life Magazine that featured Maine. Hawkeye can never come up with anything appropriate to give BJ.
Trivia: What was General Kratzer eating for dinner?
Bonus: How big was the fish that got away from Hawkeye?
Hawkeye's will:
I, Benjamin Franklin Pierce, being of sound mind and endangered body, hereby decree this to be my last will and testament. I bequeath to my father all my worldly possessions with the exception of the following:
To Charles Emerson Winchester III, who during the dark days of war made himself available. You've been the victim of an endless stream of dumb jokes. Though we may have wounded your pride, you never lost your dignity. I therefore bequeath to you the most dignified thing I own -- my bathrobe. Purple is the color of royalty.
To Father Francis Mulcahy, I leave five cents. You are a man of God and I know worldly possessions mean little to you, Father. So I leave you a nickel, along with something I value more highly than anything I own -- my everlasting respect.
To Margaret Houlihan. To you, Margaret, I leave my treasured Groucho nose and glasses. Maybe they'll remind you of how much I enjoyed that silly side you show all too infrequently.
To Sherman Potter. You not only knew what to say, but what not to say. My Dad's a little like that. it makes me miss him a little less knowing you're around. My father called me Hawkeye after the character in Last of the Mohicans. It was his favorite book. I'd like you to have the copy he gave me.
To Maxwell Q. Klinger. You may be one of the all-time greatest scroungers, but when it comes right down to it you'd give the shirt off your back. So the least I can do is leave you the shirt off mine; and not just any shirt, but my beloved Hawaiian shirt. I hope you'll wear it even if someday it does go out of style.
To Erin Hunnicutt. I leave you a list of all the young men your daddy took care of while he was in Korea. Many of them have him to thank for being alive today. I want you to understand why he had to be away from you those first years of your life. I hope I have the chance to give you this in person. But around here, you never know.
This concludes my last will and testament.
Benjamin Franklin Pierce
In "Aid Station" (S3), Hawkeye already has a will. None of the flashed incidents occurred in any other episode of M*A*S*H. Hawkeye's fish stories might be believable if he had not specifically referred to Sockeye Salmon. These are found only in the Pacific Northwest, not in Maine (where the St. Croix River is) and the largest they get is about 15 pounds, much smaller than Hawkeye claims). This is James Emery's second appearance on M*A*S*H. This is the first of two appearances for Larry Ward.
An OK episode.
