Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What was the name of the war veteran for whom Toby arranged a military funeral?

Answer: Walter Huffnagle

Toby is called by the police, as Walter died with Toby's business card in his coat pocket. Toby is moved by the fact that Walter earned the Purple Heart for his duty in Korea, and uses the President's name to arrange a full military funeral.

2. Mrs. Landingham tells Charlie about her twin sons who died in Vietnam at Christmas. One was called Andrew. What was the other's name?

Answer: Simon

Mrs. Landingham explains that her boys gave up medical school when they were drafted into the war, even though she and her husband begged them not to. They were killed together at Da Nang on Christmas Eve, 1970.

3. C.J. discovers her Secret Service name in this episode. What is it?

Answer: Flamingo

C.J. is not happy about the name, as she thinks the flamingo is a ridiculous looking bird.

4. A homosexual high school boy is killed during this episode. What was the boy's name?

Answer: Lowell Lydell

The boy was killed after thirteen year old kids stripped him naked, tied him to a tree and threw rocks at him, purely for being gay.

5. When Danny tells C.J. he has come up with a list of reasons she should go out with him, she writes a list of reasons why they shouldn't date.

Answer: True

C.J. takes Danny a little too seriously, as it turns out he never really had a list at all! Instead he gives her goldfish food as a Christmas present.

6. Which two characters argue about whether the year 2000 is the end of one millennium, or the beginning of the next?

Answer: Sam and Toby

Sam: "Gould says this is a largely un-resolvable issue." Toby: "Yeah, it's tough to resolve. You have to look at a calendar."

7. The President wants to sneak out to do some Christmas shopping at a rare bookstore. Who wants to send the press to photograph the trip?

Answer: Mandy

The President drags most of his staff with him to the store. Josh asks if he couldn't be dropped from the top of the Washington Monument instead!

Answer: Laurie

They go to see Laurie, in the hope that she can pass on the names of some of her Republican clients. She won't help them, but instead tells them that they should remember that they are the good guys.

9. Who accompanies Toby to the funeral?

Answer: Mrs. Landingham

The funeral scene is very moving, played out with a choir singing "Little Drummer Boy" at the White House.

10. What makes Donna cry in this episode?

Answer: A gift from Josh

Donna had asked Josh for skiing equipment, but instead he bought her an antique book about skiing. Inside, he wrote a message that was obviously so moving, it made Donna cry.
