'M*A*S*H' - 'Hawkeye Get Your Gun' Quiz

Answer: Frank

As per usual, Frank's distinct flair for social faux pas gets the best of him. Frank offers to replace Potter at his operating table, raising the fact that Potter is old. Potter's response is to suggest that he can match Frank 'incision for incision, suture for suture, clamp for clamp and patient for patient!' Hawkeye adds, 'But not goof for goof.'

Answer: Zoltan

When Klinger first enters Potter's office in his new gypsy costume Potter exclaims, 'Klinger, go put on a dress!' His costume comes complete with tambourine, an instrument with which, I might add, Jamie Farr appears quite adept.

Answer: Rhubarb

Frank seems desperate for a little rhubarb and when he is informed that the rhubarb has been consumed he throws a mini-fit. I think the guy is just generally unhappy. When he is seated with the other officers he has even more reason to whine, Colonel Potter is provided with a special bowl filled with rhubarb.

Answer: Playing cards

Potter announces that the 'two low cards go for a ride'. BJ draws a ten, the lucky devil. Frank draws a five, while Hawkeye draws a three. The Colonel then draws a two, prompting Frank to complain, 'Well, that's a gyp! That means you go and I stay.' Frank quickly understands the depth of the situation and adds, 'Oh, that's good.'

Answer: No

The jeep remains intact on their trip to the Korean hospital, it's on their return that the jeep is bombed and destroyed. Fortunately, Hawkeye and Potter have left the jeep before it becomes fodder for enemy fire!

Answer: Mako

Mako was one of my favorite of the 'M*A*S*H' guest-stars. Though a Japanese-born actor, he portrayed a number of different Korean characters in the series. You may also recognize Mako as the actor who played Admiral Isoruku Yamamoto in the movie 'Pearl Harbor' or perhaps in his roles as Kungo Tsarong in 'Seven Years in Tibet' or Yoshida in 'Rising Sun'.

Answer: True

Hawkeye claims, 'If I say the word 'sleep' three times to you, I'd put you right under.' Potter stubbornly stays awake, perhaps still irked by Frank Burn's suggestions that he is old and tired. My favorite exchange from this scene: Hawkeye asks the Colonel when they started surgery, to which Potter replies, 'I started surgery in 1932'. Hawkeye responds, 'I meant this session'. Potter retorts, 'So did I.'

Answer: Frank Burns' chin

They toast Klinger, his nose ('That's a double!'), Zoltan, Zoltan's nose ('That's a double!'), Charles de Gaulle and his nose (another 'double') and Colonel Potter's nose ('That's a half!') Their drunken revelry doesn't last long as the shelling begins anew and they are forced to abandon the jeep (see question 5).

Answer: Inflict their wounds

Colonel Potter insists that Hawkeye fire his weapon, to which Hawkeye responds by looking at the gun and announcing, 'You're fired'. Colonel Potter then adds, 'Hawkeye, that was an order'. 'Oh waiter, would you take this man's order,' Hawkeye retorts.

When Potter persists, Hawkeye suggests that he will 'treat their wounds, heal their wounds, bind their wounds but will not inflict their wounds.' Potter finally convinces Hawkeye by requesting that he use his gun as a 'noisemaker' to scare off the enemy. Hawkeye proceeds to fires his gun straight into the air in response.

Answer: Clara Bow

Hawkeye is surprised by this mention, looking at the Colonel and saying, 'Clara Bow? Frank's right, you are old.' Earlier in the episode, Hawkeye suggested that in the poorly lit O.R. at the Korean hospital the Colonel looked just like Greer Garson in 'Mrs. Miniver'. Who the heck are all these actresses anyhow? Thanks for trying this quiz, I hope you enjoyed it and will try some of my other 'M*A*S*H'-related stuff.
