o. 187 Trivia Questions

1. What was the name of the student who attacked Mr. Garfield at the beginning?

From Quiz
"187": Police Code For Homicide

Answer: Dennis Broadway

Garfield had failed him and word got back to him somehow. Since Broadway (played by Method Man) was on a form of probation, failing the class meant problems for him. He disappeared from Mr. Garfield's Science class (after having written 187 on every page of Garfield's textbook), and was not seen again until he stabbed Garfield repeatedly in the lower back with a nail. Garfield never taught in New York again.

2. What school subject did Mr. Garfield teach at both schools he was in?

From Quiz One Eight Seven

Answer: Science

Mr. Garfield taught science at both high schools he was in. When he first started teaching at his second school he accidentally went into the wrong classroom, which was history.

3. What was the name of the teacher who Mr. Garfield subbed for in California?

From Quiz "187": Police Code For Homicide

Answer: Mrs. Escander

She had taken a break after her students (now Trevor's students) had badly harassed her, which was made all the worse due to the fact that she was pregnant. What started as a temporary substitute job turned into a year-long job when she officially went on leave.

4. One of the Mexican gangsters is named Cesar. What is his last name?

From Quiz One Eight Seven

Answer: Sanchez

One of the Mexican gangsters that comes out in this movie is named Cesar Sanchez. Sadly, he has a sad ending.

5. What does Cesar's gang name, K.O.S., stand for?

From Quiz "187": Police Code For Homicide

Answer: Kapping Off Suckas

The gang was made up Cesar, Paco, Stevie and Benny (who is later found dead thanks to Mr. Garfield). Cesar's gang alias was Kartoon. Clearly, none of them had spent much time in English class.

6. What word does Rita have tattooed on the back of her neck?

From Quiz "187": Police Code For Homicide

Answer: Puppet

Mr. Garfield asked her about it while he was tutoring her. She said it was nothing, but as we learn more on her reputation it becomes clear that it has to do with her being considered the local hussie, and her inclusion in gang life as such. The name Puppet also appears on a picture of her dead friend, who was killed by Benny, but she doesn't mention any connection to him.

7. Who cuts Cesar's finger?

From Quiz One Eight Seven

Answer: Mr. Garfield

At the end of the movie Mr. Garfield confesses he cut off Cesar's finger and killed Benny.

8. What was written on Cesar's finger when it was retrieved and reattached?

From Quiz "187": Police Code For Homicide

Answer: R U DUN?

This was a reference to the part when Garfield was talking to Cesar in the schoolyard, trying to find out who trashed his classroom. Cesar went off on a tough-guy tangent, after which Garfield replied "Are you finished?". This resulted in Cesar and his boys getting in Garfield's face, and him walking off looking like he was about to crack. Later, when Cesar's precious trigger finger was mailed back to the school, the words "Are you done" were tatooed on it in shorthand.

9. How does Ms. Ellen find out Mr. Garfield killed Benny?

From Quiz One Eight Seven

Answer: She finds Benny's rosary in Mr. Garfield's house

When Ms. Ellen's dog was killed she was looking for an aspirin and she found Benny's rosary.

10. Mr. Garfield tries to help one of his students in school work. Which student was it?

From Quiz One Eight Seven

Answer: Rita

Mr. Garfield tries to help Rita with her English and grammar. They decide to meet at the library.

11. What movie was Cesar watching one night, that inspired him to force Mr. Garfield into playing Russian Roulette?

From Quiz "187": Police Code For Homicide

Answer: The Deer Hunter

The night before the climactic scene, Cesar had been sitting at home nursing his finger and getting drunk watching the scene in "Deer Hunter" when Christopher Walken's character was putting a gun to his head and pulling the trigger. This gave him the brilliant idea of making Mr. Garfield do the same at gunpoint.

12. How many times did Garfield pull the trigger *before* the shot that killed him?

From Quiz "187": Police Code For Homicide

Answer: 4

When they first gave him the gun, he pulled the trigger twice. Then he pulled again, just to show them he wasn't scared. Later, Cesar added a second bullet and Garfield pulled a fourth time. The fifth pull (which should have been Cesar's turn) was the one that killed him.

13. When Rita was giving her graduation speech, she talked about learning an expression that Garfield had told her to look up. What was the expression?

From Quiz "187": Police Code For Homicide

Answer: Pyrrhic victory

While helping her with her studies, Garfield had suggested Rita might want to present her essay at the graduation ceremony, and she said she couldn't get in front of all those people. Garfield asked her if she thought it would be a Pyrrhic victory. When she asked what that meant, he told her to look it up. Those of us who don't have a degree in English found out the meaning of the term at the end, as Rita gave her speech following the deaths of Garfield and Cesar. She could barely hold herself together as she explained it meant a victory gained at too great a cost. This was a powerful moment, of course, because Garfield had just gained a Pyrrhic victory of his own. He taught probably the greatest lesson of his recently defunct teaching career, by finally getting it through Cesar's and his boys' heads that their machismo act was empty and ill-fated, but it cost him his own life.
