Trapper John McIntyre : [Atop the Titanic] Gonzo, I read your application. Your credentials are pretty impressive. Y'know, I did a hitch in a MASH Unit myself.
Dr. George Alonzo 'Gonzo' Gates : I know.
Trapper John McIntyre : Really?
Dr. George Alonzo 'Gonzo' Gates : Sure. That's why I came here for a job. Ol' Trapper John's kind of a legend, part of the MASH folklore.
Trapper John McIntyre : You're kidding?
Dr. George Alonzo 'Gonzo' Gates : Truth. You and your pal Hawkeye, you had the whole army in your pockets.
Trapper John McIntyre : [Wistfully] Yeah, we had it wired, alright. Why, I remember when the nurses' shower got plugged up once and we... Never mind. I want to know more about you.

Reverend Barnaby Box : [a white limo pulls up beside the Titanic, Rev. Box emerges excitedly] Doctors! Doctors! I've come to bid you good-bye. I'm leaving today for the Vatican. I have an audience with His Holiness the Pope!
Dr. George Alonzo 'Gonzo' Gates : Isn't he a little out of your league?
Reverend Barnaby Box : I had this vision last night. I want to discuss it with him. I know he'll be very interested! Arrivederci!

Dr. George Alonzo 'Gonzo' Gates : I think that clown's buckin' for sainthood. With our vision.
Trapper John McIntyre : Suppose he gets it? What does that make us?
