- I want to tell you how much it's meant to me having you come into my life, but there aren't words for it... Will you write me? - Of course I will. - Long letters, full of everything you're going through, every detail of what you do during the day. - Yes. - I'll write you, too. - Yes, please. - I won't stop. No matter what, I'll keep writing. - Yes. - Not just for a month or two. - No, we keep writing. - ... I'll never see you again. I'll write a few notes as a graceful gesture of futility and I'll... I'll never see you again.
In Love And War, season 6, M*A*S*H.

I AM DEAD. This episode. Or rather, this scene. It's of Bad Wolf Bay standards. Hence, I avoid it like the plague. Just watching that scene right now to get the lines right makes my heart physically hurt. And I don't even ship it.
If you don't know or have forgotten, this is an episode in which Hawkeye falls in love with a Korean woman whose mother is sick with pneumonia. When the mother dies, the family moves away (I don't remember exactly why; as I said, I rarely watch this episode) and Hawkeye doesn't want to let her go, but he has to. In the end, in that scene above, he admits what we're all kind of thinking: that he'll get over her, but he doesn't want to. PAIN PAIN PAIN PAIN.
