• [Hawk and Trap are trying to figure out what a local asking "Labbi Fobris" wants] 

  Hawkeye : Fobris, fobris... there was a Lt. Forbes. Tall, thin guy; only dermatologist I ever knew with pimples.

  Trapper : Maybe she's looking for Cpt. Forrest.

  Hawkeye : Who?

  Trapper : The brain surgeon who feel down a lot.

  Hawkeye : No, he's been gone over two years. He's got a toy store now.

  Chim Sa : Read, prease.

  [hands Hawkeye a paper which he reads] 

  Trapper : What?

  Hawkeye : "Labbi fobris" is "rabbi for bris."

  Chim Sa : Yes, yes. Sang Min.

  [hold up her baby] 

  Hawkeye : She's married to Walter R. Jacobson, corporal.

  Chim Sa : 0390-118010.

  Hawkeye : This is their son, Sang Min Jacobson who's too young to have a number yet. The father, busy at the front, is asking that a circumcision be performed with a traditional Jewish ceremony which is known as a bris.

  [hands the paper back] 

  Hawkeye : I'll do the circumcision, but you're gonna have to get a Jewish chaplain to lay on the prayers.

  Trapper : Can Father Mulcahy do Jewish?

  Hawkeye : Only if he can read Latin from right to left.
