Maj. Frank Burns : [sits up on his bed after overhearing a conversation] Well, well...
Capt. B.J. Hunnicut : Oh, I thought that lump under his covers was dirty laundry.
-
Maj. Frank Burns : Yeah, well, I'm going home in one piece, brother
Maj. Sidney Freedman : You sound determined.
Maj. Frank Burns : Well, let's just say, I've been getting some signals from my wife back home. She needs a man there. A whole man.
Maj. Sidney Freedman : Signals?
Maj. Frank Burns : Yeah, you know, hints. She's been going in for strange things.
Maj. Sidney Freedman : Like what?
Maj. Frank Burns : Well, she's not, behaving like herself, and let's just leave it at that, okay?
Maj. Sidney Freedman : Okay.
Maj. Frank Burns : Oh, what the heck. You're a psychiatrist. I guess you've heard it all, huh?
Maj. Sidney Freedman : Well, I thought I'd heard it all.
Maj. Frank Burns : She got together with some of her lady friends, and they went on a trip to Indianapolis or no reason.
Maj. Sidney Freedman : For no reason?
Maj. Frank Burns : Just to look around. It cost $55. And all the sudden, she's getting mixed up in politics, stuffing envelopes for the Republican Club, and-and maybe even, uh... ringing doorbells.
Maj. Sidney Freedman : Well, it sounds as though she's stepping out on her own a little.
Maj. Frank Burns : That's what I think.
Maj. Sidney Freedman : People grow, Frank.
Maj. Frank Burns : Yeah, well, when I go home, I want the same girl, I married.
Maj. Sidney Freedman : Right.
Maj. Frank Burns : Well, she's changing. She's becoming... sexy and provocative and... . I got a letter today with a picture of her in slacks walking away from the camera.
Maj. Sidney Freedman : Frank, maybe she's just trying to find out who she is. That doesn't mean she's leaving you.
Maj. Frank Burns : You bet she isn't, bub. I happen to believe in the sanctity of marriage, no matter how ugly or disgusting it gets. I'll kill her before I divorce her.
Maj. Sidney Freedman : I'm not suggesting either.
Maj. Frank Burns : Oh, no, of course you're not.
[chuckling]
Maj. Frank Burns : I should have known better than to tell something personal to a psychiatrist.
