We might have done this before, but let's take a moment to recall our
favorite Flagg moments. I'll start with my favorite quote:

"My father touched me like that once. To this day he still has to wear
orthopedic shirts."

I'm not that good at recalling lines but what I loved about Flagg was the
expressions he'd give when thinking he'd said something profound. Or that
stance he'd take after giving an order or some comment that he felt was to be
taken with the seriousness that his position commanded. I'd laugh every time.
Or the look on his face when he'd be explaining something *confidential.* I
loved his expressions and body language the most.

FLAGG"You where extremely jeolous of her engagement. You were furious at her
(i fogot I love the ep to). You where capable of murder."

Hawkeye "That's right so you hit her over the head with a blunt instrument"

BJ: "a Saxophone."

Hawkeye "Then you hipnotised her and told her she was johnny Ray."

BJ "Then you made her look like Johnny."

Hawkeye "The rest is obvious. You stuffed her in a jeep sent her to vegas
and now shes playing two shows a night at the sands."

BJ "3 on saturday."

FLAGG "Theres only one problem with that theory."

Hawkeye "Only one I mean really."

Flagg "They don't do three shows saturday night at the sands."

Hawkeye"How do you know?"

Flagg "I was a showgirl for 6 weeks."

you pretty pinko, buddy"

My favorite Flag moments are in Rally Round the Flagg Boys

Winchester has set him up and planted a note on a N.Korean soldier in post op.

something like

Flagg: It's a map of some kind
Winchester: A map of a camp
F: looks like a map of a camp
W: This Camp
F: This Camp
W: There's a circle around my quarters
F: A circle around Pierce's quarters. There's a circle with 2 arrows
W: Looks like a clock
F" looks like a clock
W: 10:00
F: 10:00

It's amazing how Flagg could be so stupid and so funny at the same time. He is
rivalved probably only by Frank Burns in that department!

I always liked when he had Radar alone in the office, and, not exactly word for
word, asked if he ever heard of the Manchurian finger torture, or something to
that effect. "Thats because I havent invented it.....yet"
Later in the episode, we catch Radar looking at Flagg, and without saying a
word, Flagg just starts flexing his finger. That is the single funniest moment
in MASH for me, Flagg or not.

I can't recall the exact text right now, but one of my fav scenes with Flagg
was in the O. Club with Frank and Margaret.
When Flagg goes to Radar, who's just been busted with the mirror, and starts
with " do you like the jukebox son?" and then proceeds to threaten Radar with a
roll of nickles up his nose, and the bit with the coin slot gets me every time.
Radar was excellent at the end when Flagg scared the living shi... ooops, I
mean hell out of him.
Just in case any of Tim's students have found their was to the group. :-)

This is a great scene. I recal LG mentioning some time ago that it was
edited in syndication. It went something along the lines of:

FLAGG: How would you like a nosefull of nickels?
RADAR: Not a whole lot sir.
FLAGG: You like the jukebox son?
RADAR: Yes sir.
FLAGG: If you don't get lost, I'll throw you in through the glass and pull
you out through the coin return.
RADAR: Anything else sir -- before I go to the latrine?

Agreed a classic. The part just before when he's talking to Frank and
Margaret is classic too.
Can you believe the whole thing gets cut?

Thanks Brad, I'm cracking up all over again!
One of the best exchanges with Flagg!

How in the world could this scene be edited out?
Classic Flagg and very classic Radar.
Whoever the big shot is who's decision it was to edit that out should get life
in front of a firing squad.

RADAR:"Yes sir, Colonel Flagg."

FLAGG:"I'm not Colonel Flagg! I'm Rabbi Goldberg! You got that, Corporal?"

RADAR:"Yes, your Hebrewness."

I just watched that episode yesterday, in honor of Winter's passing. You got
the quote exactly right I believe. A good example of funny lines between
Flagg and Radar.

Mr. Winter's ability to say those lines with a complete dead-pan face
still astounds me.

Col. Flagg and Trapper were in an exchange about how the Col. dangerously hurts
himself in doing his job. Hawkeye:"If there were more men like you, there'd be
less men like you." Brilliant LG wordplay! C'mon, LG, fess up...You snuck in
during the last Flagg ep and wrote the "you're even boring in technicolor"
dialog, didn't you? ;o)
