Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Where did Ben and Julie meet?

Answer: in an elevator

Ben was getting into the elevator when Julie yells fo rhim to hold it for her. She gets in and the elevator starts - then stops. So Julie used the bell and called for help.

2. How many days did Julie say she had been on the job when she first met Ben?

Answer: 1

She was talking about how she wasn't claustrophobic (after they were trapped in the elevator), just that she had first day jitters!

3. How does Ben say he knew that Julie wasn't from the area?

Answer: He didn't hear 'grits' in her voice.

Ben went on to say that, from the way she talked, she was from the midwest.

4. What state did Ben guess that Julie was from?

Answer: Iowa

But Julie said she's from Nebraska.

5. How did Julie explain to the judge why she was late?

Answer: unavoidably detained

Actually, it was the radiator hose on her car. She rushed ino court so fast and sat down that she didn't even notice Ben was the other lawyer. There's a cute scene where the two of them start talking and the judge asks if they are through so he can get on with the case.

6. What date did the judge set for the trial?

Answer: week from Tuesday

Then the judge went on to the matter of bail...

7. What was NOT an excuse Ben gave for why the defendant should be let without bail?

Answer: family lived in the area

Julie's reasons for why she shouldn't be released on bail was that it was a capital case, the state had questions about why she wouldn't leave the area, and the case wasn't about how good her driving was (countering Ben's argument that she didn't "have so much as a parking ticket").

8. Was bail granted?

Answer: no

Julie won that part of the argument. At least this shows that she can win some arguments.

9. What did Ben say to Julie after the bail hearing?

Answer: "You're very good."

And Julie seems so nice out of court... But once you put her before a judge and give her a defendant to try and prove their guilt... watch out!

10. Ben asked both Charlene and Tyler how old they thought he was. What was Tyler's response?

Answer: "Pretty old."

And he went on to say "... and in that suit, very old."

11. The ring that Ben was given as commission was taken back by the police. What did Ben say after the police had left with the ring?

Answer: "New Assistant DA in town. Very efficient."

Ben had shown Julie the ring and tried to tell her that it was proof that his client didn't do it (she was engaged to the victim).

12. Where is the safe in the mansion?

Answer: behind the bookcase

The victim told the nurse the combination so she could go get the ring he was going to give her for their engagement.

13. Julie interrupted Ben when he was looking at the safe. What did she yell?

Answer: "Felon!"

Ben just about jumped 10 feet and asked her why she did that.

14. Ben calls Julie after she surprises him at the safe. How does she reply?

Answer: "So it's 'Julie' now."

She went on to say "Are we friends or are you just being charming because I caught you in the act and you're afraid I'll make a citizen's arrest?"

15. Kathy (the defendant) gave Ben the combination to the safe. What was the exact combination?

Answer: 7 left, 30 right, 20 left

And the safe opens, proving that Kathy was given the combination.

16. There was a piece of jewellery appraised at $2 million. How much did Julie say it was really worth?

Answer: "A million five, tops."

She said it was "way overpriced."

17. Upon hearing Julie make a quick appraisal of the jewellery, Ben asks if she's an expert. How does she reply?

Answer: "I'd do better if I had my loop."

A loop is that eye-piece thing that magnifies a piece of jewellery.

18. What piece of jewellery was missing (this would later play a big part in the trial)?

Answer: diamond necklace

The diamond necklace was given to Kathy's soon-to-be ex-husband so he could buy the auto-shop that he worked at (and make it look like Kathy was trying to pay off her husband).

19. How much money was left to Kathy in Peter's will?

Answer: $150 million

Julie was given the will by the housekeeper while she and Ben were over at the mansion looking at the safe.

20. When Ben starts his questioning, Julie makes a few objections. When she said that Ben wasn't on the stand, how did she end her objection?

Answer: "I'll be happy to cross-examine him."

Ben was talking about how he had gone to the witness' house and tried to see who was going into the mansion.

21. Apparently, Julie was still having trouble with her car. What did Ben suggest doing?

Answer: rotating her tires

He said that her left front tire's tread was almost gone. I think he had been changing her tire, but we don't see much besides him standing up after looking at th eback of her car.

22. Who first asked Ben if there was something going on between him and Julie: Charlene or Tyler?

Answer: Charlene

Charlene catches him singing (again) and shining his shoes.

23. What song did Charlene say Ben had been singing for days?

Answer: "Hello, My Baby"

He was also paying more attention than normal to his looks - even asked if he should get a new suit.

24. Who was the killer?

Answer: the sister

The sister did it because her brother was going to marry 'the help' and then the sister wouldn't have been in the society page anymore.

Answer: Garrett Steele

She never said anything and he became a doctor. Later she ran into him and it turned out that he had liked Julie as well, but neither had said anything. (I think she was trying to say that she liked him, but didn't want to be the first one to say so!) Ben starts to talk about a girl named Betty Ann, but we don't hear anything else as the jury had come back with a verdict. Ben won the case (again).
