Colonel Victor Bloodworth : [Colonel Bloodworth has predicted that his battle site will produce 280 casualties, annoying Hawkeye. So far 203 casualties have come in from that battle. Hawkeye and the colonel are in the officers' club and the announcement of "incoming wounded!" comes over the PA system] There you are, Hotshot, and don't be surprised if there ARE 77 more!
Captain Benjamin Franklin Pierce : What are you going to do, shoot them yourself?
[Grabs the front of Bloodworth's shirt]
Colonel Victor Bloodworth : That does it, Captain! I've taken all I'm going to take from you!
Captain Benjamin Franklin Pierce : I haven't even begun!

Captain Benjamin Franklin Pierce : You make me sick! The way you reduce human life to cold equations - God I hate that! And I hate your rotten ledger - your Diary of Death! But what I hate most, you Grim Reaper, is that you actually love your job!
Colonel Victor Bloodworth : Let go of me!
Captain Benjamin Franklin Pierce : I'll let go!
[Pushes Bloodworth against the wall]
