1) yyyyup, it figures, the episode escapes me...ok...it's when Hawkeye
and Trapper want Frank to sign something with them. They are sitting
in the swamp and make some gestures behind his back. He turns to catch
them, saying (in regards to which kind of gesture he suspects they
made) "you know, the one that..." and they howl with laughter at him.
Love it.

Alan, Mike and Larry are cracking up as if a frat joke is told. All three
are not in character. In the mess hall.
Just my opinion. How does one do a Frank Burns HA?
He did it when he was in New York. A HA that goes down in history. HA! To
you Larry L. We miss you.

I don't think so. In 'George' the boys want Frank *not* to sign something.
I think it's 'For The Good Of The Outfit'.

Is that the one where Franks says(within ear shot of Hotlips)... "I think
I'll ask (some new young nurse) out on a date." Margaret says, "Isn't
she a little young for you, Frank?" To which Frank returns with, "I don't
know... I thought a little youth might be nice for a change." Margaret
quickly leaves with her dignity dented, while Frank says to Hawk and BJ,
"I sure got her with that one."(laughs)
Hawkeye says something like, "I think the convoy took a direct hit."

Later Hotlips says to Hawkeye..."I thought you didn't give two hoots for
Frank Burns." Hawkeye..."It's only one hoot and I just started."

Please don't hold me to exact wording. I loved that little bit of
support, that the "guys" were giving Frank.

I believe that you are correct, now that I think about it.

That's right.

One other time I recall being on Frank's side, was when Margaret was
flying off with Donald P. in the chopper(newlyweds)... leaving Frank
behind to say goodbye to Margaret, all alone. I felt really sad for him
then.

Frank wasn't all bad. It may have been a small one... but he did have a
heart.

My impression is that he was less concerned with having mined Frank out
than he was with having got typecast. And I gather he was right.
