Quotes5

  • Hawkeye: War isn't Hell. War is war, and Hell is Hell. And of the two, war is a lot worse.
  • Father Mulcahy: How do you figure, Hawkeye?
  • Hawkeye: Easy, Father. Tell me, who goes to Hell?
  • Father Mulcahy: Sinners, I believe.
  • Hawkeye: Exactly. There are no innocent bystanders in Hell. War is chock full of them - little kids, cripples, old ladies. In fact, except for some of the brass, almost everybody involved is an innocent bystander.
  • Father Mulcahy: [offering to go through the local black market, for needed medicines] You'd be surprised what a priest can get away with.
  • Father Mulcahy: Colonel, an ambulance has turned over in the compound, you better come on the double.
  • Col. Potter: Anybody hurt?
  • Father Mulcahy: Well, the driver's a bit shaken-up, but he'll be all right.
  • Col. Potter: No-one else inside?
  • Father Mulcahy: No.
  • Col. Potter: Thank God.
  • Father Mulcahy: I already did.
  • Father Mulcahy: [Some Refugees leave on a truck, Father Mulcahy is handing out the Holy Bible] Here you go kids... just something to read on the way.
  • Hawkeye: If you have any questions they have branch offices everywhere.
  • Father Mulcahy: [Col. Blake is in the middle of an operation, and Father Mulcahey is in need of blood] Colonel Blake, are you busy?
  • Henry Blake: No... I'm telling this mian's fortune by reading his bowels.
