Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What does Jo (Demi Moore) tell Sam (Kevin Pollak) the Marines at Guantanamo are fanatical about?

Answer: being Marines

Jo: "Tell your friend not to get cute down there. The marines in Guantanamo are fanatical."
Sam: "About what?"
Jo: "About being Marines."

2. More than once in the movie, we see Kaffee (Tom Cruise) exchanging witticisms with a newsstand operator. What is the operator's name?

Answer: Luther

At one point, Kaffee and Luther are exchanging quips when Lt. Colonel Markinson (J.T. Walsh) slips into Kaffee's car unnoticed.

3. Lt. Colonel Markinson (J.T. Walsh) did counterintelligence for how many of his first 21 years in the corps?

Answer: 17

Ross (Kevin Bacon): "You can try, but you won't find him. You know what Markinson did for the first 17 of his 21 years in the corps? Counterintelligence. Markinson's gone. There is no Markinson."

4. Ross (Kevin Bacon) offers Kaffee a final plea bargain before going to court the next morning. What is his offer for defendants Dawson and Downey?

Answer: 2 years

Ross says to Kaffee: "I'll knock it all down to assault. 2 years. They're home in 6 months."

5. The first night Kaffee, Jo, and Sam meet in Kaffee's apartment to strategize defense, what kind of food does Jo bring for dinner?

Answer: Chinese food

Jo: "I've got medical reports and Chinese food. I say we eat first."
(According to Kaffee, Yoo-Hoo and Cocoa Puffs are the "only things I have to eat", so Jo brings Chinese food.)

Answer: 23

An agreement is reached between Kaffee and Ross where, "The defense is willing to concede that all 23 witnesses will testify substantially as Corporal Hammaker did, if the Government is willing to concede that none of them were in Dawson and Downey's room at 16:20 on August 6th."

7. Did Christopher Guest appear in this movie?

Answer: Yes

Christopher Guest plays Commander Stone, a Navy doctor, who is called to testify that the lactic acidosis in Private Santiago was caused by an ingested poison.
Christopher Guest is a very talented actor who has played a variety of roles. My favorite being his role in "Best In Show" where he plays Harlan Pepper, a Bloodhound owner who also runs a fly-fishing shop.

8. What does Kaffee see in his closet which makes him suddenly realize Santiago was never really supposed to be transferred from Guantanamo?

Answer: his clothes

Kaffee went into the closet to get his baseball bat. "I think better with my bat." But, it's his hung-up clothes which remind him of Santiago's locker down in Guantanamo. Everything was neatly hung, not packed, which made Kaffee realize Santiago was never really supposed to be transferred.

Answer: Elizabeth

Kaffee asks Jessup about the 3 calls as a lead-in to the fact that Santiago hadn't made any calls when he found out he was being transferred. Further proof he was never really supposed to be transferred.

10. Dawson and Downey were found guilty on how many charges?

Answer: 1

Dawson and Downey were found Not Guilty on the charges of Murder, and Conspiracy to Commit Murder, and Guilty on Conduct Unbecoming a Marine.
