Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Floris

Charlie was getting to know the Colonel. He had heard that at times, when a person was blind, their other senses became extra sensitive. However, he was shocked when the Col. guessed the fragrance that Daphne was wearing. Many more surprises were to come during this unique holiday weekend in NY, that perhaps would teach young Charlie more than he could ever learn while attending Baird.

2. When Charlie and Col. Slade entered their suite at the Waldorf, the Colonel requested that Charlie check the bar and make sure it was filled with his favorite liquor. What was it?

Answer: John Daniels (Jack Daniels)

Charlie was in awe of the Waldorf and was beginning to be in awe of the Colonel. He also noticed the Colonel's fondness for drinking. He wondered where this blind retired officer got the money to pay for all this.

Answer: a tour of pleasures

Charlie watched as the Colonel enjoyed himself. To Charlie's dismay, the Colonel then gleefully informed Charlie that he had missed his plane back to New Hampshire and asked him to stay another night. Charlie had no choice, but to agree. The Colonel needed him, and at this point, Charlie was beginning to understand the sadness that was beneath the bravado that was so much a part of Col. Slade.

4. When the bellboy arrived in their suite at the Waldorf, what was the first thing the Colonel asked him about?

Answer: the escort scene

Charlie remarked that the Colonel had a one-track mind...women. The Colonel then said his second favorite thing in the world was a Ferrari.

5. What was their limo driver's name?

Answer: Manny

The limo driver was the next one the Colonel asked about getting escorts. He agreed to look into it for him. The limo driver was a nice guy and was becoming quite fond of the Colonel and Charlie.

Answer: in the limo, on the way to the Oak Room

As the Colonel listened to Charlie's problem, his own life experiences rose up before him and made this situation very clear. Charlie was on student aid, in this Ivy League school, and the other boy involved was not. The outcome was clear as ice.

7. According to Colonel Slade, why was the bread west of the Colorado not as good as it was in NYC?

Answer: water was too alkaline

As the Colonel pulled apart a dinner roll, he said they had been in his dreams when he served in the army.

Answer: "If you're smart you won't try that again. This bat's got better radar than the Nautilis."

Charlie was beginning to see the depth of this man. His own experinces in life, up to that point, were meager. Little did he know that his time with this man, would teach him lessons he could never learn from a book.

9. As Charlie awakened on Thanksgiving morning, the Colonel was being fitted for a suit by a seamstres in their suite. What was her name?

Answer: Sophia

Charlie was then told that he would be fitted too. To Charlie's surprise the Colonel announced that they were going to visit with the Colonel's older brother, Willie, for Thanksgiving. When Charlie asked if he knew they were coming the Colonel laughed and said "He doesn't even know I'm coming"!

Answer: those who stand up and those who run for cover.

Charlie was beginning to see that the plan he had made with George Willis, not to tell their parents, was unravelling before his eyes. Charlie also was beginning to see the depth of the man he was looking after for the weekend. Fear was turning to admiration.

11. What did Colonel Slade smell when they entered his brother's home on Thanksgiving?

Answer: prunes

Colonel Slade was secretly hoping his sister-in-law made Turkey Ma Bere (with prune sauce). Charlie, although feeling awkward as an uninvited guest and not part of the family, felt sorry for Colonel Slade when the Colonel's nephew Randy answered the door. Charlie observed that no one seemed too happy to see Colonel Slade.

He suddenly felt protective of Slade, instead of the other way around, as it had been until this moment. He sensed animosity and Randy brought it to fruition in a very short time.

12. What was Randy's job at Snow Flake Sugar?

Answer: Vice President in charge of Marketing

Colonel Slade was never known to respect anyone with a 9 to 5 corporate job. His sarcasm was obvious, when he asked his nephew about his job in the corporate world. Randy was very resentful that his uncle gave up a very promising Army career because of foolishness.

He made this known in a very disrespectful way. Charlie tried to smooth this over. He was embarrassed for Colonel Slade.

13. According to Randy, how did Colonel Slade lose his eyesight?

Answer: juggling live grenades while intoxicated.

Randy felt his uncle should take responsibility for losing his vision while acting in such an irresponsible way.

Answer: an Asian Flower and a tough Navy Nurse

His brother's family was shocked and uncomfortable. Thinking of his plan for suicide, Slade's intention was to indirectly alienate his family. He had come to say goodbye to his big brother Willie, who had in the past come between Col. Slade and disaster. As the Colonel and Charlie left, you could sense the Colonel's feelings in what he said to his brother.

15. While Charlie and Colonel Slade descended the stairs to get to Donna, what was the word the Colonel used to guide Charlie, referring to how they walked?

Answer: perambulate

Though blind, the Colonel's past with women was the pleasure he remembered clearly. He eluded confidence with women and was trying to convey this fact to young Charlie. He was amused and pleased to sense Charlie's interest in this young lady, sitting alone.
