Time, once again, to play: Favorite Frank Burns Lines!
Edited on Wed Feb-13-08 04:49 PM by geardaddy
"I'm sick of hearing about the wounded. What about all the thousands of wonderful guys who are fighting this war without any of the credit or the glory that always goes to those lucky few who just happen to get shot."

"We're so lucky to be two of the few and not the many."

"I hope you realize that by trying to introduce more discipline, more order, I've hopefully made this a more enjoyable war for all of us."

1. 'Margaret... I get so excited when you say "excited"'
"Frank, you're paranoid."

"I am not!"

"When did you see this?"

"When I was checking my toothpaste for explosives."



"SNOT! SNOT! SNOT!"

2. I loved Frank Burns - those were the best episodes!!
Frank: I didn't come here to be liked.
Hawkeye: You certainly came to the right place.

Frank: Don't make me get unpleasant!
Hawkeye: I can't improve on nature, Frank.

Frank, moaning that no one likes him: I've gotten thank-you notes from people I said I'd never see again.

Trapper: That's an order!
Frank: A captain can't give a major an order!
Hawkeye: Then it's a threat.
Frank: Well, that's different. This was a great war until you guys showed up!

Frank: I'm a pretty fair doctor myself. Ask any of my patients!
Hawkeye: We can't dig people up just for that.

Frank: What I don't understand is why do people take an instant dislike to me?
Trapper: It saves time, Frank.

Frank: Anyone who needs psychiatry is sick in the head.

Frank: I'm taking this to a higher authority.
Trapper: Aw Frank, you're not gonna call your mother again!

Frank: Your picture's in my wallet and I'm sitting on it, and if that's not love then I don't know what is!

Frank: I think it was Napoleon who said, "Without discipline, an army is no more than a bunch of guys all wearing the same colour clothes."
Potter: Napoleon?
Frank: Could have been Mussolini.

Frank: Why don't you guys like me, huh?
Hawkeye: 'Cause you're a lousy doctor and a rotten person.
Frank: Aside from that.

Frank: I happen to believe in the sanctity of marriage, no matter how ugly or disgusting it gets!

3. I just found the rest of the "I hope you realize..." quote
"Leadership is a lonely business. Your Napoleons, your Kaisers, your Attilas the Hun, were alone there in the front office as I have been this week. I have thought of you. I know you have thought of me - but some of the notes in the suggestion box were really below the belt! I mean, why drag my mother into this?"

5. "There you go. There's your typical lounge lizard at war!"
Trapper: That one I gotta write down.
