"Finger Lickin' Fifteen" Quotes Quiz

Answer: Lula

While examining the crime scene, Lula explained to Morelli what she had seen. "I never saw nothin' like it. One minute, I was having a day like any other, and then 'whack' and this guy didn't have no head. And blood came out of him like he was fountain. And when his head hit the ground, his eyes were lookin' at me. And I think the head might have smiled at me, too, but I'm not sure of that."

Answer: False

Stephanie made this statement to Ranger, not Morelli, during the following conversation.
[Ranger]: "You've worked for me before doing computer searches, and that's where I'd like to put you again. Ramon has been doing the searches, but he'd like to get out of the cubby and back on the street. You'd be working on the fifth floor in the control room, but you'd have total access within the building. Every man in my organization knows you and understands that you're my personal property, so they're not going to talk freely when you're around, but they're also not going to think I hired you to snoop. They'll assume I gave you the job to have you close to me."
[Stephanie]: "Personal property?"
[Ranger]: "Babe, you're the only one who would question it."
[Stephanie]: "I am not personal property. A car is personal property. A shirt is personal property. A human being is not personal property."
[Ranger]: "In my building, we share cars and shirts. We don't share women. In my building, you're my personal property. Deal with it."

Answer: Ranger

After the following discussion with Ranger, Stephanie decided to go after her drug-dealing fugitive, Kenny Hatcher, aka Marbles, but Ranger would not let her go alone.
[Ranger]: "The dealer is a no-brainer. Kenny Hatcher. Better known as Marbles. I know where he works. He deals from the six hundred block of Stark Street."
[Stephanie]: "I've been checking. He isn't there."
[Ranger]: "He's there. You just aren't seeing him."
[Stephanie]: "Why can't I see my drug dealer?"
[Ranger]: "He's using a runner. If you want to find Hatcher, you have to follow the runner."
[Stephanie]: "How do I recognize the runner?"
[Ranger]: "You pay attention."
[Stephanie]: "Okay, I'll give it another shot. I'm going to Stark Street."

Answer: Lula

Connie expressed her doubts in Lula's culinary talents in the following conversation.
[Lula]: "I think this is about barbecue sauce. Everyone knows it's dog-eat-dog out there in barbecue land. You wait and see, someone didn't want Stanley Chipotle in that barbecue contest. I looked into it, and he always wins those contests. He was the one who come up with Fire in the Hole Red Hot Barbecue Sauce. He invented that recipe, and when he's in a contest, he has a secret ingredient he puts in. I'm tellin' you, Stanley Chipotle's killer is a sauce freak. So I figure we just gotta bust into the barbecue circuit and we'll find the killer."
[Connie]: "Bust into the circuit?"
[Lula]: "All I gotta do is enter the contest as one of them chefs. I bet I could even win."
[Connie]: "You can't cook."
[Lula]: "That's true so far, but that could change. I'm real good at eatin'. I got a highly developed palate. Especially for barbecue. I just gotta take some of my eatin' talent and make it into cookin' talent. Anyways, I only gotta come up with sauce. How hard could it be? I mean, you start out with ketchup and keep adding pepper until you feel it burnin' a hole in your stomach."
[Connie]: "I don't think it's that easy. I watch these contests on The Food Channel, and you have to use the sauce on ribs and chicken and stuff. Can you cook ribs or chicken?"
[Lula]: "Not yet. But I know I could be real good at it. Look at me. ... I'm like a combination of Paula Deen and Mario Whatshisname. I'm just around the corner from bein' the Mrs. Butterworth of barbecue sauce."

Answer: Morelli

Morelli, who did not approve of Stephanie's renewed employment with Ranger, continued with his comical ridicule of the Rangeman uniform. "Are all the towels in the building black? Is there black toilet paper?"

Answer: Rex

"This is temporary. Don't get attached to Ranger. I know he's strong and sexy. And I know he smells nice, and he has good food, and his apartment is always the right temperature. Problem is, he's got secrets. And he's not in the market for a wife. Okay, so the wife thing might not be a deal breaker since I'm having commitment issues anyway, but the secrets he carries are troublesome." Stephanie explained things to Rex, her hamster, as she got him settled on Ranger's kitchen counter.

She had to move him to Ranger's apartment until Lula and Larry could get Stephanie's kitchen cleaned up after the pressure cooker barbecue incident.

Answer: She was wearing a Rangeman uniform.

Morelli and Stephanie had an ongoing argument about Stephanie's working relationship with Ranger. Morelli respected Ranger, but believed that he had a different code of ethics than most law abiding citizens. At another point in the story, Morelli explained his feelings about Ranger to Stephanie. "It means I don't trust him.

He's a total loose cannon. And he looks at you like you're lunch."

Answer: Lula

The two hit men tried to attack Lula again, so she and Stephanie chased them down in the car, with Lula shooting at them through the side window. As her usual standard, Lula missed her main target all together.

Answer: Tank

Ranger woke Stephanie up in the middle of the night to have her meet Tank in the garage because his company had suffered another security breach. When she finally made it down stairs to meet Tank, he gasped and commented "guess you were asleep. You just took me by surprise, with the hair and all." Stephanie was in a grouchy mood, so Tank offered to show her a picture of his pet cat to cheer her up.

Answer: Red paint

Stephanie and Lula had made two previous attempts to apprehend a fugitive arsonist, Ernie Dell. However, these two encounters ended with Stephanie's Escort and Ranger's Cayenne both being turned into charcoal remains. During the third attempt to apprehend him, Ernie dumped a bucket of red paint from the upstairs window, which soaked Stephanie, but managed to miss Ranger completely.

Answer: Ranger

Stephanie was upset after seeing how easily Ranger had apprehended Ernie Dell, who she had faced two times previously. Ranger tried to cheer her up with this little speech.

Answer: Flour

While chasing Cameron Manfred, an armed robbery fugitive, Stephanie and Ranger became separated. Stephanie tangled with Manfred in a pizza shop basement and grabbed a large bag of flour to defend herself. After hitting Manfred a few times with the flour bag, it busted and covered both of them in flour. Ranger appeared behind her when the flour dust started to settle.

Answer: Stephanie

When Stanley Chipotle's body turned up at the funeral home, Morelli called Lula and had her meet him and Stephanie to make an identification. With hopes of being interviewed on television, Lula dressed up for the "decapitation identification."

Answer: Hot dogs

In an attempt to NOT be on television during the barbecue contest, Stephanie agreed to dress up in the hot dog suit, but she had a few problems. The suit was too hot, she could not see through the cloth, and it was top heavy, which made her fall over repeatedly.

Answer: Joyce Barnhardt

Joyce was a woman that Stephanie had been forced to deal with repeatedly during her childhood and now was forced to deal with in her adult life. Due to her horrible attitude and less than friendly ways, no one liked Joyce.
[Grandma Mazur]: "What are you doing here? Are you in the barbecue competition?"
[Joyce]: "I put a couple of things together. I listen to the police bands. I know all about the Chipotle killers stalking you. And I figure those guys are here looking to put a bullet in you. Or maybe carve you up for barbecuing.
[Lula]: "So you're here to protect me?"
[Joyce]: "No, Dumbo. I'm here to capture the idiots and get the reward."
