Continuity: When Hawkeye and Trapper are trying to sober up Margaret by giving her a cold shower, you can see that Trapper's shoulders and the front of his t-shirt are wet, presumably from previous takes.

Quotes:

Margaret: Colonel, I am requesting that you officially and formally approve my transfer.
Henry Blake: Look, I am glad this has come up. Now, I want you two guys to straighten up and fly right. I want you to accord Major Houlihan the courtesy and respect accordable to someone who has achieved her high rank and sex.
Margaret: I am not looking for a truce with these two shower-tent peekers!
Trapper: You peek into one shower and you're labeled for life.
