Hawkeye Pierce is one of the most iconic characters in TV history. The Korean War vet is quick with a quip and has become synonymous with military humor. He also has some dark side. He is a womanizer who likes to sleep with nurses and mocks the doctors on the M.A.S.H staff. He especially likes to tease Major Frank Burns and Charles Emerson Winchester III.
Alan Alda did an amazing job portraying Hawkeye on the show. He is a native of Crabapple Cove, Maine and graduated from Androscoggin College. He then went to medical school in Boston and was drafted into the U.S. Army Medical Corps. He was assigned to the 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital in Korea in the early ’50s.
During his time at MASH, Hawkeye became a bit of a legend. He was the best archer in the army and he was very good with his bow and arrow. He was a very skilled marksman and could shoot anything from a bullet to a helicopter. He even saved a fellow soldier’s life by using his skills to save him from a mortar attack.
There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes of MASH but it’s fun to watch some of the great quotes from Hawkeye. Despite his cynical nature, Hawkeye is very quick with a quip. He has some of the best lines in the entire series. Here are a few of our favorite Hawkeye Pierce quotes from MASH and beyond.
This is a great quote because it shows that Hawkeye doesn’t take himself too seriously. He is aware of how ridiculous the situation is and is willing to let his frustrations out. This makes him a more relatable character than some of the other soldiers on MASH.
Another great Hawkeye quote comes from the episode “War of Nerves.” This is when Hawkeye suffers a concussion and starts to have a nervous breakdown. He reminisces about an incident on a bus where he told a chicken to keep quiet and the bird killed itself. The moment is incredibly powerful and shows how Hawkeye has a dark side.
In Avengers: Age of Ultron, Hawkeye is a key part of the team. He is brought back after Thanos is defeated and it is interesting to see him reflect on all that happened. He is a little lost without his family and he wishes he could share this victory with his friend, Clint Barton.
While this is a sad moment, it’s also an important part of Hawkeye’s character. It shows that he is still struggling to recover from the loss of his family and that he is still trying to make things right. It’s a touching quote and it gives audiences an idea of who Hawkeye is at the end of the movie. We can’t wait to see more of this iconic character in Avengers: Endgame!
