Quotes
-
Cpl. Walter Eugene 'Radar' O'Reilly : Psst... psst!
Maj. Sidney Freedman : Did you want to see me, or have you sprung a leak?
Cpl. Walter Eugene 'Radar' O'Reilly : Oh, I'm sorry, sir. I didn't want to go into your tent 'cause I was afraid somebody might think I was crazy.
Maj. Sidney Freedman : What can I do for you?
Cpl. Walter Eugene 'Radar' O'Reilly : I think I'm goin' crazy.

Cpl. Walter 'Radar' O'Reilly : Yeah, but me and my teddy bear are very close. I mean sometimes I talk to it.
Maj. Sidney Freedman : Does it ever talk back?
Cpl. Walter 'Radar' O'Reilly : No.
Maj. Sidney Freedman : So? Do you know how many people write letters to Romeo and Juliet and think "I Love Lucy" is real? And those people are living nice safe lives with towels and sheets. They're not up to their ankles in mud, blood and death the way you are.
Cpl. Walter 'Radar' O'Reilly : Yeah, but what happens when I go back home?
Maj. Sidney Freedman : My guess is you probably won't need him anymore.
Cpl. Walter 'Radar' O'Reilly : I won't need him anymore?
Maj. Sidney Freedman : That's okay though, 'cause I have a feeling I will.

Cpl. Walter 'Radar' O'Reilly : Well, it's about my teddy bear.
Maj. Sidney Freedman : He's been acting strangely?
Cpl. Walter 'Radar' O'Reilly : Huh?
Maj. Sidney Freedman : What about him?
Cpl. Walter 'Radar' O'Reilly : Well, I never say anything to the guys when they kid me about sleepin' with it. Except now and then I think about it in the back of my head. And when you told Klinger that it proved he was crazy 'cause he carried a teddy bear, I started thinkin' about it in the front of my head.
Maj. Sidney Freedman : Radar, you can't prove anything about anybody by what he carries. MacArthur carries a swagger stick. That doesn't prove he's a general.
