'M*A*S*H' - 'The Price of Tomato Juice' Quiz

Answer: Escargot

BJ mentions kosher pickles, countered by Hawkeye's apple pancakes, which are, in turn, verbally retorted by BJ's escargot. 'What's that?', Radar innocently asks. 'Snails,' BJ responds quickly. 'Oh, ick, I would never eat a snail,' replies a disgusted Radar. BJ then cleverly responds, 'Nobody would, that's why they started to call them escargot.'

Answer: Maxwell, sir.

Igor is in fact played by actor Jeff Maxwell, so this one was an odd moment in the show. It is later established that Igor's surname is Straminsky, a play on the name Igor Stravinsky.

As for Frank's applesauce tirade, one line is absolutely priceless and must be repeated here: 'Apples don't grow on trees, you know!'

Answer: A pair of nylons

Frank claims that tomato juice is too expensive, and that he only has so much to spend each month. 'Frank, stop trying to bring the war in under budget,' BJ dryly suggests. Frank claims that the pair of nylons that he asks for in trade are for one of the nurses who has been performing well in the O.R. Ahem! Sure Frank!

Answer: No

In actuality, Klinger isn't that greedy. He merely wants a couple of fun-filled days in Seoul. The problem with this request, it won't fly with Colonel Potter. When Potter hears of Klinger's desire to go to Korea, he instinctively says no, after all, Klinger has gone AWOL four times recently!

Answer: Bradley

If you recall, Bradley Barker was portrayed in a couple of season one episodes by Sorrell Brooke, most famous for his role as Boss Hogg on the television show 'The Dukes of Hazzard'. Unfortunately, Brooke does not appear in this episode, but his spirit can be felt!

Colonel Potter does what he can for Klinger, despite the moratorium on recreational leaves. His reasoning: 'I've got a soft spot in my heart for Klinger. He looks a lot like my son, and dresses a lot like my wife.'

Answer: Fanny Hill

'Fanny Hill' was a 1748 novel written by English novelist John Cleland. It is considered to be the first 'erotic novel' in the modern English language. Radar, who loaned the book to Sparky, says, 'I don't know how it ended, who did it?' Responding to Sparky's answer, Radar continues, 'Everybody? Hot Cherokees!'

Answer: Fort Ord

Margaret is a true army brat, but it is said that if she had a true home, it would be Fort Ord, located in California.

This scene is awkward because it almost appears as if Colonel Potter is 'pimping' Margaret out to the General. However, Potter is very uncomfortable with the whole situation and finally suggests that he will tell General Barker off.

Answer: Anemones

When Margaret sees the flowers she exclaims, 'Anemones!' Radar misunderstands, responding, 'Yeah, but he wants to be friends now!' She then reads Frank's note, and is so excited, she composes one of her own. 'Yours tonight and forever, Margaret', it says. Frank's note, composed by Radar, reads, 'Let me come to you on my knees and propose, Frank'.

Answer: No

Hawkeye and BJ are able to sneak Klinger away in the General's car. When the driver sees Klinger, he whispers to the doctors, 'She looks like she needs a shave!'

Answer: No

Nope! It turns out that Colonel Potter is allergic to tomato juice. All that effort was wasted, except for in Klinger's case. He had a grand time with General Barker in Seoul!
