Nurse Lt. Kellye Yamato is continually frustrated by Hawkeye's attitude towards her - he is happy to talk to her or dance the Lindy in the Officer's Club, but as soon as a tall blonde nurse approaches, or a slow dance tune comes on the jukebox, he acts "like I'm Typhoid Mary".
During a nightshift in post-op, Hawkeye sees the error of his ways as he observes Kellye comforting a dying soldier.
Hawkeye shows up at Kellye's tent dressed in a tuxedo, only to find her already on a date with the visiting colonel's aide.
The following day, Hawkeye apologizes to Kellye and the two are seen dancing together cheek-to-cheek in the Officer's Club.
