Hawkeye Pierce is a truly dedicated surgeon, but sometimes he can [[UpToEleven be a little too dedicated]].

After performing surgery for an incredibly long period without rest, Hawkeye is ordered to stand down and finally get some sleep. Complications, both hilarious and troubling, arise when the 4077 continues to be inundated with wounded and Hawkeye ignores orders and advice to resume saving lives.

** Henry cracks up at Hawkeye wanting Margaret's body
** Some of the nurses find Hawkeye's sleepy and exhausted mood hilarious

--> '''Hawkeye''': That kid's got chest wounds. I can spot it a mile off.
--> '''Henry''': Terrific. Your eyes are perfect.

--> '''Hawkeye''': Something funny is happening around here and I'm finally beginning to notice it. For the past couple of days, I've been making some very careful observations. ''[beat]'' There's a war going on here.
--> ''[Trapper tries to go back to sleep. Hawkeye jostles him awake]''
--> '''Hawkeye''': People walking around with guns. Uniforms. Dozens of bodies coming in by helicopter. And without exception, every one of them is mangled in some way. Don't you see, it all adds up? There's guns, uniforms, wounded bodies.
--> '''Trapper''': You figured that out, huh?
--> '''Hawkeye''': I'm beginning to see a pattern.
--> '''Trapper''': Why don't you go to sleep? You're turning into a 170-pound fruitcake.

** Hawkeye forgets he's already finished with a patient, to Trapper's incredulity
---> '''Trapper''': What are you doing?
---> '''Hawkeye''': Somebody took my patient.
---> '''Trapper''': You finished him.
---> '''Hawkeye''': Well where's the next one? Let's go! Give me another case! I'm on a winning streak here!
** Hawkeye talks about how badly he wants to get to sleep
---> '''Hawkeye''': I never wanted to get to bed so bad in my whole life. ''[pauses]'' Wait a second, I take that back. There was a nurse in med school. When I put my ear to her navel, I could hear the ocean.
---> '''Trapper''': Some night.
---> '''Hawkeye''': Before that, it was some day. Before that, it was some night.
---> '''Trapper''': Well, you kept taking all the chest cases like you were their only hope.
---> '''Hawkeye''': Oh you're right. I keep forgetting what wonders Mercurochrome can do.
** Hawkeye treats his bed as a real person before his first attempt at getting some sleep
---> ''Hello, bed. This is Captain Pierce. Can you hear me? I'm coming in, bed.''

---> '''Frank''': Henry?
---> '''Henry''': Yeah?
---> '''Frank''': What's he doing in here?
---> '''Henry''': Gee, I don't know, Frank. He's a doctor. Maybe somebody's sick.
---> '''Frank''': I've been asleep three times while he's gone on operating. You know what that means?
---> '''Hawkeye''': Yeah, [[WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs you're Sleepy, and I always thought you were Dopey. You're certainly not Doc.]]
*** When Frank gives up, Margaret feels the need to continue. Hawkeye of course keeps up the snarking.
----> '''Margaret''': What that means, Colonel, is that this man is probably operating below par.
----> '''Hawkeye''': Nonsense, I've had six holes in one. Get it? Six holes in one? Some gallows humor to relieve the tremendous pressure. I must have your body.

--> '''Hawkeye''': I can't take your picture now, Radar. Come back later and we'll get a pony and do it right.
--> '''Radar''': I've been looking all over for ya.
--> '''Hawkeye''': You can even ride the pony when we're finished.

* OhCrap: Henry is informed General Clayton is coming to the 4077, is as mad as hell, and coming to find out who did it. Henry first makes a ReflexiveResponse and walks into his office, does an off-screen DoubleTake and comes right back out.
--> '''Radar''': Message from General Clayton. He's mad as hell and is coming down here to find out who did it.
--> '''Henry''': You can hardly blame him.
--> '''Radar''': Yes sir.
--> ''[beat]''
--> '''Henry''': Coming down here to find out who did what?
--> '''Radar''': Someone sent a telegram to President Truman.
--> '''Henry''': A telegram? To President Harry S. Truman? That president?

* WhatTheHellHero: Henry lets Hawkeye have it when he operated in the O.R. against orders.
--> '''Henry''': Listen, Pierce. You were ordered to stand down.
--> '''Hawkeye''': I did, but I fell up again.
--> [...]
--> '''Henry''': You've gone against orders, Pierce. Somebody else could have operated.
--> '''Hawkeye''': I asked the kid to sit in the waiting room, but he read all of our magazines.
--> '''Henry''': I'm gonna be frank with you, Pierce.
--> '''Hawkeye''': You're gonna be Frank [Burns] with me?
--> '''Henry''': I mean blunt.
--> '''Hawkeye''': Oh, that's good. Otherwise Frank would try to be Henry with me and I don't think I could stand that.
--> '''Henry''': You pay close attention. Can you understand what I'm saying?
--> '''Hawkeye''': Why? Is there something wrong with your mouth?
--> '''Henry''': No, I'm fine! The problem is you've been on 24-hour call three nights this week!
--> '''Hawkeye''': Three times twenty four...
--> '''Henry''': Look, Doctor, no matter what comes in, I'm putting you to bed.

---> '''Henry''': How do you know?
---> '''Radar''': Uh, I sent it.
---> ''Henry slaps his hand down on his desk''
---> '''Henry''': Well, why didn't ya tell ''me''?

* InsaneTrollLogic: A rare non-humorous example: Hawkeye, half out of his mind from exhaustion, goes to chopper pilot O'Brien with an observation: every time O'Brien goes up in his chopper, he comes back bearing wounded kids. So, Hawkeye reasons, if O'Brien stops going out, there won't be any wounded, and the war will stop. O'Brien humors Hawkeye for a moment, and Hawkeye is [[HopeSpot satisfied]], until more wounded come in anyway and he has to go back to work.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Hawkeye tiredly smirks that he must be [[AmbiguouslyBi obvious]] when he tells Henry he's the second person to make him that offer. (Henry means go to sleep, Hawkeye's thinking of sex.)

!!Attention, attention! The episode has these following tropes:

* MoodWhiplash: Hawkeye goes from a teary-eyed rendition of "I'll Be Home For Christmas" straight into singing "Der Fuhrer's Face".
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Hawkeye has a telegram written and sent to UsefulNotes/HarryTruman, then President of the United States.

--> '''Henry''': Look, Doctor, no matter what comes in, I'm putting you to bed.

* SanitySlippage: Hawkeye suffers this when his lack of sleep catches up with him. It gets worse the more he goes without it.

* FailedFutureForesight: Radar said at the beginning of the episode that there would not be any casualties or 24 hours. It couldn't have been more than ten minutes.
