* GetOut: A more polite version is done by Potter - when Hawkeye first starts badgering B.J. about what his initials stand for, and it's interfering with the conversation Potter is trying to have with Lil, he says, "Wait a minute guys - see those big, wooden things with hinges on over there? Shut them on your way out." B.J. and Hawkeye take the hint.

'''Potter:''' You will. I met a couple. Married the one I loved.

'''Hawkeye''': [[SarcasmMode Oh, sure, now I get it. B and J. B.J.]] You honestly expect me to buy that cockamamie story?! Now, what does it stand for?!\\
'''B.J.''': ''[smirking]'' Anything you want.
* WrongAssumption: Lil makes a move on Potter and apologizes when learning he's devoted to his wife, saying she must've misread a signal. Potter says the fault was his, as he was enjoying spending time with her so much.
