[Trapper has just opened a can of Pabst Blue Ribbon beer] Hawkeye Pierce:
I see you are a beer drinker, sir. Would you care for a martini? Trapper John:
A martini? Yeah, I'd love a martini. Hawkeye Pierce:
[to Ho-Jon]
Ho-Jon, get the gentleman a martini. [to Trapper] Hawkeye Pierce:
I'm sure you will find them satisfactory. They're quite dry. [sips from his glass] Trapper John:
Don't you guys use Olives? Duke Forrest:
Olives? Where in the hell do you think we are, man? Hawkeye Pierce:
We have had to make certain concessions for the war; we ARE three miles from the front line. Trapper John:
Yes, but you really can't savor a martini without an olive, you know. [reaches into coat pocket and pulls out a jar of cocktail olives, while Hawkeye and Duke stare dumbfounded] Trapper John:
You see, otherwise, it just doesn't... quite... make it. [he drops the olive into the glass on the last word]
