CUT TO:

INT. POST OP – 5:37PM

Hawkeye, Adrienne and Father Mulcahy are still sitting by the patient. His condition has not changed.

HAWKEYE
So, Adrienne, have you got a nickname?

ADRIENNE
My sisters call me Rennie.

HAWKEYE
That's nice, I like that.

ADRIENNE
Feel free to call me that. I don't mind.

They watch the patient for a few moments.

ADRIENNE
I could use some coffee. How about you?

HAWKEYE
Thanks.

ADRIENNE
Father?

Father Mulcahy looks up from the patient.

MULCAHY
Hmm?

ADRIENNE
Coffee?

MULCAHY
Oh, yes, thank you.

ADRIENNE
Won't be long.

HAWKEYE
Take your time, we're not going anywhere.

ADRIENNE
Unless he—

She stops herself.

ADRIENNE
I'd rather not think about that.

HAWKEYE
That makes three of us.

Adrienne gets up and leaves post op. She walks towards the mess tent. She notices Trapper is heading her way. He smiles at her. She smiles back and winks. They pass each other. She grins to herself as she continues to the mess tent. Klinger suddenly steps in front of her. He's changed his outfit, he's now wearing a pretty yellow sundress with a straw hat.

ADRIENNE
Hi Klinger.

KLINGER
Captain.

ADRIENNE
Can I... (eyeing his outfit) Help you with something? Some fashion tips perhaps?

KLINGER
I'd like to introduce you to my new friend, Boris.

Adrienne looks around. She looks back at Klinger and it suddenly dawns on her.

ADRIENNE
Ohh... Hi Boris!

KLINGER
He wants me to get out, too! He'll stop at nothing! He doesn't care anymore!!

ADRIENNE
Wow, Klinger. It's nice you've found someone with similar interests.

She pats his arm and continues on to the mess tent. Klinger pouts.

INT. POST OP – 5:40PM

Trapper enters post op. He goes up to Hawkeye and Father Mulcahy and sits down.

TRAPPER
How is he?

HAWKEYE
No change.

TRAPPER
On a lighter note, Adrienne has been flirting with me like crazy!

Hawkeye grins while Father Mulcahy looks uncomfortable.

HAWKEYE
Really?

TRAPPER
Yeah.

HAWKEYE
Did you take notes?

CUT TO:

INT. RADAR'S OFFICE – 5:41PM

Radar is sitting at his desk, reading a Superman comic. Frank and Margaret come in.

MARGARET
Corporal.

Radar scrambles to his feet.

RADAR
Sir! I mean, Ma'am! Sir-Ma'am?

FRANK
We want to see Colonel Blake.

MARGARET
Is he still busy?

RADAR
No, he's not busy anymore.

FRANK
Sir!

RADAR
Yes?

Frank and Margaret look at each other then go into Henry's office.

MARGARET
Sir?

Henry jumps and quickly puts the dirty magazine he was reading in his desk draw. He slams the door on his hand. He pulls his hand out.

HENRY
What is it?

MARGARET
We're here to request passes for the weekend, Sir.

Henry looks at them quizzically.

MARGARET
We wish to attend a medical seminar.

Henry raises an eyebrow. He's about to call out when Radar comes in and hands him two passes. Radar leaves without saying a word. Henry signs the two passes and hands them to Margaret. She can hardly contain her grin.

MARGARET
Thank you, Sir!

She and Frank leave. Henry shakes his head. He gets the magazine out of the draw and continues... er, reading.
