They sure don't warn a guy about these things, is all he can think as he gasps for breath on the floor amid the ruckus. He's barely got it back when he's sending Klinger away and picking Major Burns off the floor. He's dealt with fights before, back at the seminary, but there's something different this time.
Immediately he knows what it is, as he catches Klinger with a live grenade seconds later. He wonders how this'll be explained as he tries to reason with Klinger but the thought takes a backseat to placating the corporal and praying for help. As he feels the weight of the grenade settle into his hand, he can't believe the relief in his chest and resolves to do whatever he can to help Klinger, because he'd really like not to be on that side of a grenade again.
