Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Lieutenant General Kelly is mistakenly referred to as Major General Kelly by his aide while describing how the General's death will be explained while the aide is ordering up air and shore bombardment on the General's position.

Quotes:

Maj. Frank Burns: [Frank knocks on Margaret's door and sees Hawkeye and Trapper] What's going on?
Maj. Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan: Nothing's going on, Frank. I just couldn't sleep.
Army Capt. "Trapper John" McIntyre: And we couldn't sleep.
Capt. Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce: So we're all here not sleeping together.
