Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFor advice on healing Potter's horse, B.J. calls his father-in-law who lives in Quapaw, Oklahoma. Mike Farrell's wife at that time was Judy Farrell who was born in Quapaw. Also, his father-in-law is named "Floyd Hayden" in this episode; "Hayden" is Judy Farrell's real maiden name.
- GoofsWhen Radar says he is looking for a Floyd Hayden and spells out H-A-Y-D-E-N. Hawkeye follows it up with M-O-U-S-E. However, The Mickey Mouse Club (1955) did not actually begin airing until 1955, two years after the Korean War ended.

Captain B.J. Hunnicut: [B.J. is calling his father-in-law in Oklahoma for help to treat Col. Potter's sick horse] Pa! Hi, it's B.J.!... No. No, I'm not at the bus station, I'm still in Korea... No, we're not still fighting the Germans, Pa, that was your war... Huh? Yeah, I get a letter from Peg every day.
Capt. Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce: Come on, come on.
Cpl. Walter 'Radar' O'Reilly: The horse.
Captain B.J. Hunnicut: Wha - Oh, look, Pa, I can't hang on too long, we need your help.
[to Radar]
Captain B.J. Hunnicut: Give me a pencil and paper.
[to Floyd]
Captain B.J. Hunnicut: We got a sick horse here. Yeah, a mare. She's down. Just a minute.
[to Hawkeye]
Captain B.J. Hunnicut: What's her heart rate?
Capt. Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce: Fifty.
Captain B.J. Hunnicut: Fifty. Uh-huh.
[to Hawkeye]
Captain B.J. Hunnicut: Too fast.
Capt. Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce: Well, look, uh...
Cpl. Walter 'Radar' O'Reilly: Could it be emotional?
Captain B.J. Hunnicut: Could be. Colonel Potter hasn't taken her out for a week.
Captain B.J. Hunnicut: Hold on a minute, Floyd.
[to Hawkeye]
Captain B.J. Hunnicut: Any growling in her stomach?
Capt. Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce: Silencio.
Captain B.J. Hunnicut: Not a sound. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh! Okay. Right. All right, thanks Pa. Listen, you take care of yourself now. Yeah, I miss you too. Oh, do me a favor, will you?
Capt. Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce: There's more.
Captain B.J. Hunnicut: Call Peg and tell her everything's fine. Except the horse. Right. Thanks
Cpl. Walter 'Radar' O'Reilly: What?
Capt. Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce: What? What? What?
Captain B.J. Hunnicut: Too much dry grass and not enough water. She's got colic.
Cpl. Walter 'Radar' O'Reilly: Oh, that's serious!
Captain B.J. Hunnicut: Floyd says it can kill her.
Capt. Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce: Colic?
Captain B.J. Hunnicut: Intestines are blocked. We gotta keep her on her feet so they won't twist. And... we gotta clean her out. Lots and lots of warm water.
Capt. Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce: I think I'll stroll up to the front to see how the shooting's going.
