[as the surgeons operate on an eight-year-old Korean girl]
Col. Potter: Someone dropped a bomb on her building from an airplane.
Bomber Pilot: Who did it?
Hawkeye: He just dropped it. He didn't autograph it.
Bomber Pilot: No I mean was it one of theirs or one of ours?
Col. Potter: What difference does that make?
Bomber Pilot: A lot. It makes a lot of difference.
Col. Potter: Not to her.
