and the gloty, for ever and ever. Amen.

- Amen.

- Amen.

God, protect our men on the field of battle,

that they may return home to their dear ones.

And, dear God, protect

our supreme commander on the field

and our commander in chief

in Washington DC.

Frank, were you on this religious kick

at home or did you crack up over here?

Frank, how long does this show go on?

lt gets longer all the time. Now l have

your soul to pray for and Captain Pierce's.

Onward, Christian soldiers

Marching as to war

With the cross of Jesus

Going on before

Christ, our royal master

Leads against the foe

Forward into battle

See his banners go

Onward, Christian soldiers

Marching as to war

With the cross of Jesus

Going on before

- Yeah?

- What's the line-up?

Four waiting for surgety, two for the lV

and two for the antibiotics to take over.

We can probably handle that

if there's no more choppers. Pickup.

Scissors.

- You can't go in the colonel's office.

- That's who we're lookin' for.

Henty, you gotta do something.

We have stuck it out for a week. Pretty girl.

Yeah, she kinda grows on you.

- What is it, men?

- That sky pilot. Get him out of our tent.

- Your tent?

- Yeah. Get that nurse in there.

She won't keep us awake all night praying.

l've been here a long time. l know what you're

ttying to pull, but you won't push me around.

Not for the world would l push you around,

but, look, there is one more thing.

- We need a chest cutter.

- We need a good one, or there'll be trouble.

No MASH unit has a chest surgeon.

We won't get one.

Sir, they're behind in the OR

and the pre-op ward is jammed up.

The helicopters and ambulances

are coming in full.

You have to work early today.

And add overtime to a 12-hour day?

The union'll raise Cain with you.

With those hours, you need rest.

You can't get it with Burns jabbering to God.

Burns will go in 24 hours.

Tell them Captain Pierce

and Captain Forrest are on the way.

- Henty, there's one more thing.

- l told you Major Burns will go in 24 hours.

- The chest cutter.

- No.

l'll tty. You can't ask more than that.

My operation was fine.

lt's the head wound that did him in.

Dish, get over here and hold this retractor.

Dish, let me have a long needle holder.

Dago!

Amen.

- Pull it back, Duke.

- Hell, l can't.

- Get hold of the other one.

- Dago, l want you to hold this retractor. Now.

- Please, come on. Now.

- Yes. l'm sorty.

- Hi, Dago.

- Hold on. Don't wiggle it. Just hold on.

Clamp.

Sorty, Dago, but this man's still alive

and that other man is dead, and that's a fact.

Can you hold it with two fingers, Dago?

Hell, did you see it?

- Where's Hawkeye?
