The Abduction of Margaret Houlihan
  • Potter: Making yourself at home, Flagg?
  • Flagg: I have no home. I'm the wind.
  • Hawkeye: I told you he was the wind. You said he was the stars!
  • BJ: No, I said he was the moon!
Nobody can get the truth out of me because even I don’t know what it is. I keep myself in a constant state of utter confusion. Colonel Sam Flagg

Original Airdate: October 26, 1976
Quo Vadis, Captain Chandler?
  • Potter: Well, Dr. Freedman, what's the diagnosis?
  • Sidney: He's Christ.
  • Potter: If you look closely, you may notice I'm not laughing.
  • Sidney: Okay, he's not Christ. But he's also not Chandler.
  • Flagg: Psychoanalytical doubletalk.
  • Sidney: The man's a victim.
  • Flagg: He's bucking for a ticket stateside! All we gotta do is stuff the guts back in him.
  • Hawkeye: Frank builds the cross and he's the nail salesman.
  • Sidney: You're a victim, too, Flagg. But you're such an unbelievable example of walking fertilizer, it's hard for me to care.
Rally 'Round the Flagg, Boys
  • Charles: Pierce has a big mouth, he's always butting into other people's business, but that makes him obnoxious, not a spy.
  • Flagg: Doesn't wash. I'm obnoxious and I'm a spy.
  • Charles: Touché.
