Look, it's daylight again.

Fourteen hours.

Rough session.Very rough.

Somebody is using the US Armyfor target practice.

Come on, let's get somebreakfast and hit the sack.

I'm with you, big fella.

And this morning, it's two olives in my breakfast.

Would you tell me where I mightfind Colonel Blake's office?

Yes, Sergeant. You go straightdown there, you turn left,

and, uh, look for a broken-down,dirty old man and follow him.

Yes, sir.

-He'll take me to Colonel Blake?-That is Colonel Blake.

Thank you, sir.Young Hi?

Roger wilco, Sergeant Baker-san.

Find the noncom tent,organize a shower,

unpack my clean fatigues,and shine my other boots.

Draw rations fromthe mess tent and thenunpack all the other gear.

And be sure and keep themcigarettes under lock and key.

-Understood? -Roger wilco, Sergeant Baker-san.

What's she gonna do with the rest of the day?

Practice her shorthand.

The gooks,they don't mind workin'.

Uh, Sergeant.

I don't care for that word.

-"Gooks"? -Yeah.

-Nothing personal, sir.-Then knock it off.

Yes, sir.Thank you, sir.

OK, Young Hi, let's move.

What do you mean, his moose?

That's just the name for it,Hawkeye: moose.

It's from musume, Japanese for "girl."

Yeah? What's Japanese for "living together"?

Well, that might not be the case here.

She could be just his servant.

Yeah? With or without fringebenefits?

I talked to her.

The sergeant bought herfrom her family for $500.

Bought her? Is that whatyou said, or do we havea bad connection?

Some of the locals selltheir kids for the money,Hawkeye.

They have no other means.

-That's right. -Do you believe that?

That slob boughta human being!

Why doesn't the army do something?

They will bust a guy if they find out,

but they don't go looking for it.

The dislike I felt for that sergeant

has blossomed into instant hatred.

You know, I read someplace

the UN was here to liberatethese people.

Must have been a misprint.

I'm gonna do something about this.

-I'm talking to Henry. -Henry?

-Yeah. -Our Henry?

Thought you said you weregonna do something about it.

Of course it's illegaland immoral!

I mean, I can order Bakerto release her,

and he can pick her up againfive minutes after he leaveshere.

Well, then get in touchwith his own, Colonel.

Ask him to order her release.

Well, there's justone little thing wrongwith that fella.

-What? -Baker's colonelhas a moose of his own.

That's rotten. It stinks.

-Okay, okay. -Excuse me.

Things dry quickerin my tent.

-I never thought you'd chicken out like this. -Oh, come on!

If you haven't gotany more guts than that,then I'm not gonna work here.

I'll quit this outfit. I'll quit the war.

Really? Well,who's gonna break the newsto Truman and MacArthur.

Hey, Young Hi, can we, uh--can we talk to you for a minute?

-You got washing?-No, no, no, no. Uh...

You understand that it's wrongfor human beings to own eachother?

Roger wilco, Captain-san.

Yeah, but do you really understand?

Yes. I make English perfect.Speak very goodly.

Hello, Joe. What do you know?You got candy bar for mother?She sick.

That's goodly enough for me.

Why do you stay with this Baker?

Are you in lovewith that slob?

What mean "slob"?

It's a way of referring to another person.

-Yeah. -Roger wilco.

Don't love Baker slob-san.

Don't make monkey businesswith him.

Look, we can help you get awayfrom Baker.

You can go back to Seoulor anywhere you want.

To run away, I dishonor my family.

Sergeant pay money for me.

I can leave only when he say.

Is it possible this kidlikes her work?

No, she doesn't understand.She's too young.

I must work now. Must wash more socks,

press shirts, and shine boots.

Where were you whenI wanted to get married?

Go ahead,but tell Baker slob-san

that Captain Pierce wantsto see him on the double.

-You get it?-I get it, Captain-san.Roger wilco.

Sergeant,we've never had anybody

in this outfit who owned a moose.

We don't believe in it.It's very un-American.

It's un-Korean.It's un-everybody.

Therefore I order you to releasethis person you've bought.

-Sir...-That is a direct order.

-You heard the captain.-I want her off this post

and on the wayback to her family bytomorrow morning. Dismissed.

-Dismissed.-What are you guys doin'?

-Buckin' to be chaplains?-Stand at attention, soldier.

I've been in the army a long time,

and no meat-cutter with a temporary commission's gonna work me over.

So save that GI crapolafor the folks back home.

Crapola? Will you...

Make a note of thatfor his court martial.

You got a pencil?

I'm a transient.

Your authority over meis limited, and you know it.

So you can just stop tryin' to push me around.

Now, is there anything else, sir?

You know, you'rea pretty decent guyat that, Baker. Right?

-Uh, yeah. -Great.

And smart, too.Here, sit down.

Baker, would you be interestedin selling Young Hi?

Yeah, we've always wanteda moose of our own.

-A good transportation moose.-A one-owner-type moose.

You just got finishedgiving me a lecture...

You gotta swingwith the times.

-Now, look, you paid $500for her, right? -Yeah.

-We'll give you six. -For Young Hi?

-You're outta your mind.-Have a martini.

Oh, thanks. I taught that kidlaundry, cooking, sewing...

Well, I realize she's notjust another pretty face.

I could get double thatfor her in Seoul.

But I ain't interested.

-Time's a-wastin'. -Whoa. Stick around.

-We'll buy you more drinks.-I'll take a rain check.

See ya, gentlemen.

Do you believe that creep?

Yeah, he's your basic moose owner.

Think it would looktoo suspicious

if he got run over bya jeep in the shower?

I could say I took a wrong turn.

I don't believewe can beat this joker.

Then what the hell are we doing here?

Why do we spend 18 hours a dayin that lousy operating room

putting people back together?

Doesn't that have any meaning?

What's the purpose of that? Practice?

We gotta get that kid away from him.

How?

What do we do best? Think.

How do we get her by drinkin' gin?

I mean our real,if only, talent.

-Operate on him. -Right.

Ten bucks.

Too rich for me.

Your ten. I bump 50.

-That puts me away. -Yeah, me too.

What do you say, Doc?

Just a minute, handsomestranger.

He's got a pair of kings...

an ace,

and garbage.

Got that?

Any time, Doc.

Uh, your 50 and 50 more.

I call the raise.

I'll take two.

Two good ones, off the top.

He kept the kings and the ace kicker.

He bought a deuce and another ace.

He's got aces and kings.

I bet 100.

And another 100, sweetheart.

You're bluffin'.

I call.

Aces up.

No good.

Three deuces.

You bet 150 bucks on three lousy deuces?

I'm putting my sister throughbarber college. Any questions?

He workin' on an open-endstraight flush.

All diamonds. He's got the two, three, four and five,

and a jack of... spades.

I need a top card.

Dealer takes one.

Shuffling, shuffling...

The card he bought is...

Hey, wait a minute.Something's blocking me.

Whaddaya say, Doc? What's your bet?

What's your rush?

You got another war to go to?

Uh, I'm still blocked.

Oh boy, am I blocked.

-Bet or check, Doc. -I'm thinking.

Okay, the trouble's in the shower.

I mean, the trouble's fixed.I'm... I'm unblocked.

The card he bought is a six of clubs.

No flush, but a baby straight.

Okay, partner, how much moneyyou got there in front of ya?

-About 750 bucks. -Then that's the bet.

-If I call, it cleans me.-It's only money.

-Baby straight. -No.

A teensy-weensy flush.

You got over 1,000 bucks of my dough.

And let's not forget this littleol' IOU for 1200.

Oh, I'm good for it. I'll pay ya.

The understanding,before we started,was a cash game.

-You took my IOU. -Only because you're a fine human being.

Now pay up,fine human being.

I ain't got the money right now.

You wanna get even, Baker?

Get your IOU back and1,000 of the money you lost?

Who do I have to kill?

Pick that up and put downyour pink slip on Young Hi.

She's all yours, Doc.I explained the whole deal.

-You understand, Young Hi?-Roger wilco, Hawkeye slob-san.

Boy, once she learns somethin'...

Well, this is it, Young Hi.

You're a good kid.If you ever need a reference--

-Okay, yeah, fine, Baker. -Yeah.

-Well, you take it easy, kid.-Shove off.

Yes, sir. Good-bye, kid.

Okay, now listen, Young Hi. You understand?

You don't belong to Baker any more.

Roger wilco.I belong to you.

No, no, no. Now you can go back to your family.

I paid the money. There's no dishonor.

Go? I be good moosefor Hawkeye slob-san.

Make shave for you,shine shoes,

make laundry,cooking on stove.

-You see. You be very satisfied. -No, wait a minute.

I get my gear.Start work. You see.

Everything be okay.You be happy like hell.

-Young... Young Hi! -Yes, I come back.

Don't worry, Hawkeye-san.I never leave you.

"Dear Dad, we hada little poker game here today,

and it seems I won a person."

"Dear Dad, I know you alwayswished I had a sister..."

"Dear Dad..."

Hey, there's Captain Pierce,

well-known surgeon and moose owner.

-Really? -He's the man who coined the phrase

"No moose is good moose."

Drop dead, singly and/or collectively.

Told you he's oneof the great phrasemakers.

Holy cow!

-We must be in the wrong tent.-Hey, Hawkeye, come in here!

Yeah, get your butt in here.

Yes?

Hawkeye, somebody sneakedin here and committed a neatness.

-Young Hi. -Can you believe it?

The clothes are hung up,the garbage is off the floor,the place is clean.

-It's sickening. -All right.

Okay, calm down.I'm as offended as you areby this repulsive tidiness.

It's all arranged.

There's a truck leavingthis afternoon for Seoul,

and I guarantee she'll be on it.

-Now, are you satisfied?-Okay.

But as soon as she's gone,

we dirty up the joint and get back to normal.

They don't call you the aristocrat of the AMA for nothing.

-Please, no stay here with you?-No. I told you.

You've got a rightto a life of your own.And you're gonna have it.

-But I make you happy.-No. So long, Young Hi.Okay, driver, take off!

-I be good worker for you!-Good luck, Young Hi.

-Please, I want to stay!-Wait a second.

-Please! I want to stay!-Young Hi--

-I don't want to go! -Good luck.

Oh, Hawkeye. Oh, your kissesare driving me crazy.

And I'm only using one lip.

-Oh! One question. -What?

Why are we sittingin the middle of a minefield?

It's the only reservation I could get.

Every jeep in town was sold out.

Oh, oh! You're biting my throat.

Sorry. I got carried awayand started a tracheotomy.

-Ow! -What is it?

I bit your dog tag.

Oh, Hawkeye,why do I go out with you?

Because I got class. I'm a high roller.

Someday, baby, all this will be yours.

The minefield, the cesspool--all of it.

Mmm!

-Hey, Hawk! -Who is it?

Trapper,our neighborhood Peeping Tom.

Turn off those lights.

-We got trouble. -What, wounded?

I didn't hear any choppers. What is it?

The moose is back in town.

Ho-Jon says she leftthe truck when theystopped for gas.

-She hitched a ride back here.-Swell.

-What's the idea?-I your moose, Hawkeye-san.

I come back.

-But you're free. -Hawk, listen.

We're sympathetic, you know.But this kid is part moose,part yo-yo.

Hold it.

Excuse us a second.

Just stand there. Don't clean anything.

Now, listen, tomorrowwe send Ho-Jon into Seoul,

we tell him to findher family,

he brings one of them back here,and then they take her away.

That could take a while. What do we do until they get here?

-Teach her to be somethingbesides a moose.-Give her a "person" lesson.

Bingo.

We can start de-moosifying herright now.

-Is she gonna stay here?-Well, Saint Frank is in Tokyo.

Hawkeye-san make sleep in bed.I make sleep so.

No, no, no. You take that bunkover there.

You can't make sleep like that.

I'd like to make a little sleepover here.

Sleep tight.

Don't let the bedbugs bite.

I'll take the four o'clockfeeding.

Okay, once more now.We've never met before, right?

-Right. -Okay.

An Eagle Scout he ain't.

-Go get Young Hi, okay?-Okay.

-You're here to take your sister home.-We don't want a moose.

No refund, guys.You understand that?

Hold it. You can't letyourself be sold again.

You guys are brushing her off. What do you care?

I may get on my kneesand punch this kid in the nose.

-You got a chancefor a life of your own.-No more slobs like Baker.

What's all this jive?You know the score.

-I have duty to my family.-And what about your dutyto yourself?

That is not how I was raised.

You tell 'em, baby.Let's get your gear.

-Young Hi.-Will you guys lay off?

I remember everything you taught me.

Everything. And I am grateful.
