Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Booty

Booty ended up having a hidden stash of drugs duct taped to his inner thigh. Vic finds it, rips it off, and puts it right in his jacket pocket, rather than in an evidence bag.

2. Miguel Esteana is a drug dealer who claims Vic used excessive force during his arrest. What does he say that Vic used to "violate his rights"?

Answer: Pliers

Of course, Vic doesn't recall any pliers involved with Miguel's arrest. He later "convinces" Miguel to drop his complaint.

Answer: job in Alaska

Actually, Detective Crowley does NOT want to be "an errand boy in some Alaskan outpost". When told that he could pick the city, he says that he wants to work at the home office in DC.

4. Before Dutch goes to interview George Sawyer, a food item is taken from him. He immediately accuses Vic. What was taken?

Answer: Ding Dongs

Claudette tells him to forget it, and that she thinks she saw some Twinkies up in the break room. And as everyone knows, it's not the same thing.

5. Finish this quote from Vic: "Well, maybe in your own mind, amigo. But in the real world, I don't answer to you. Not today, not tomorrow, not even on ___________________".

Answer: Cinco de Mayo

Vic: "You'll get my report in a couple of days. Maybe a week. You don't like the timetable, you take it up with Gilroy."

Aceveda: "I don't have to. In this building, I'm in charge."

Vic: "Well, maybe in your own mind, amigo. But in the real world, I don't answer to you. Not today, not tomorrow, not even on Cinco de Mayo."

One of the funnier scenes between Vic and Aceveda.

6. While being booked for slashing his ex-girlfriend's car tires, Lamar Tilton asks Julien "where's the love?" What is Julien's response?

Answer: Bible

Galatians, chapter 7, verse 6. "For whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."

Answer: cell phone

After a lengthy conversation, Vic ends up using the phone book, along with his fists, to find out where Dr. Grady is keeping Jenny Reeborg.

8. Before going on her blind date, Danny puts a gun in her purse.

Answer: True

She takes the gun out of her purse and puts it in a desk drawer right before her date arrives. She answers the door and, upon seeing him, goes back to the desk and puts the gun back in her purse.

9. When the Strike Team raid Two-Time's house, there is a gunfight between Two-Time and the officers. Who fired the first shot?

Answer: Two-Time

Two-Time fired the first two shots at Vic and Shane. They return fire, hitting and killing him. Then, Vic takes Two-Time's gun and shoots Terry in the face.

10. Which of these regular cast members of "The Shield" was NOT listed in the opening or closing credits of the first episode?

Answer: David Rees Snell

Because he played such a small role in the pilot episode, and it was unsure whether or not he would return for future episodes, David Rees Snell, who plays Detective Ronnie Gardocki, was not listed in the credits.
