EPISODE J-313

DEAR DAD - by Larry Gelbart

It's Christmas and Hawkeye writes to his father describing his life at the 4077th. Amid the tension of the operating room he can still trade jokes with Trapper, while Frank Burns is forever demanding military discipline. Col. Henry Blake is a good doctor, but as a commander, Hawkeye compares him to Daffy Duck. Father Mulcahy is trying to decorate a Christmas tree while Radar busies himself by mailing a jeep home — part by part. Frank Burns tries to get Corporal Klinger to remove a red handkerchief from around his neck and Klinger lays Burns out, then comes after him with a grenade. Mulcahy tries to intervene. Then there's Hot Lips, the chief nurse, a woman of considerable passion and a stickler for military correctness. She and Frank have eyes for each other, but Hawkeye and Trapper pull pranks that frustrate their assignations. At the Christmas Party, Hawkeye plays Santa. In costume he gave Hot Lips a smoldering kiss which leaves her thoughtful. Just as the party is underway, Hawkeye is summoned to the battlefield. It’s a chest case and another surgeon just won't do. Hawkeye is flown to the battlefield in his Santa suit. Hawkeye ends his letter by wishing his father a Merry Christmas from everyone at M*A*S*H 4077th.
