    Yossarian: Is Orr crazy?

    Doc Daneeka: Of course he is. He has to be crazy to keep flying after all his close calls he's had.

    Yossarian: Why can't you ground him?

    Doc Daneeka: I can, but first he has to ask me.

    Yossarian: That's all he's gotta do to be grounded?

    Doc Daneeka: That's all.

    Yossarian: Then you can ground him?

    Doc Daneeka: No. Then I cannot ground him.

    Yossarian: Aah!

    Doc Daneeka: There's a CATCH?

    Yossarian: A catch?

    Doc Daneeka: Sure. Catch-22. Anyone who wants to get out of combat isn't really crazy, so I can't ground him.

    Yossarian: Ok, let me see if I've got this straight. In order to be grounded, I've got to be crazy. And I must be crazy to keep flying. But if I ask to be grounded, that means I'm not crazy anymore, and I have to keep flying.

    Doc Daneeka: You got it, that's Catch-22.

    Yossarian: Whoo... That's some catch, that Catch-22.

    Doc Daneeka: It's the best there is
