'M*A*S*H' - 'House Arrest' Trivia Quiz

Answer: He whips Hawkeye in the rear end with a towel

Hot Lips is insulted and demands 'satisfaction', much as if she were calling for a duel. However, her satisfaction will only come through Frank, who seems weary about getting involved. Frank's fragile ego can only take so much from the persistent Hot Lips, however, and he is forced to towel whip Hawkeye.

Answer: Socks Frank in the face

Talk about your assymetrical retaliations! Frank's seemingly childish act is met by brute force from Hawkeye. This somewhat uncomfortable scene is reminiscent of a scene in the 1970 film 'MASH', where Trapper punches Frank after he had blamed an orderly for the death of a patient. In the scene in this episode, the reasoning for the punch seems much less justified.

Answer: Margaret's tent

Colonel Reese is very forward, quite jovial and apparently hungry for attention from the opposite sex. Classic Hollywood actress Mary Wickes, who appeared in such films as 'Now, Voyager' and 'White Christmas', does an excellent job as Colonel Reese here!

Answer: He slipped on a bar of soap

Henry is seen in his office helping to coach Trapper with the 'bar of soap' story. Later in the episode when Margaret becomes upset with Frank, she exclaims, 'Hawkeye didn't hit him. He slipped on a bar of soap!'

Answer: Water buffalo

Hawkeye is afraid that the water buffalo steak might be tough, but Trapper assures him with the following: 'A little old lady rode it to church every Sunday.' Father Mulcahy arrives just in time to have a taste, but then realizes that its Friday. Trapper saves the day by claiming, 'it's Saturday, we're over the Date Line.'

Answer: Oreos

Among the items in this prisoner-of-war package that, according to Father Mulcahy, is included as part of the Geneva Convention, include: a razor, toothpaste, soap, a wash cloth, six aspirin and four Oreo cookies. This doesn't seem like much, frankly. No panty hose?

Answer: Gene Tierney

Specifically, the film they show is 'Leave Her to Heaven', starring Gene Tierney, Cornell Wilde and Vincent Price. It's really a good film, probably Gene Tierney's best acting performance. She received her only Oscar nomination for the film. According to Hawkeye, Gene Tierney's overbite gets him every time.

Answer: O'Brien & Brophy

Early in the episode, Radar requests that is pants need to be lengthened by three inches, so we know he's up to something. Later, he receives his elevated shoes from O'Brien & Brophy, and is please as punch. 'I'm a real person,' he happily proclaims.

Answer: No

Frank is too dense to notice that Radar is taller, but he does notice a general change. At first, he thinks Radar has changed the part in his hair, but then he realizes that it's Radar's glasses that have been replaced (though they have not, in actuality). Regardless, Frank compliments Radar as having the apperance of 'dignity and authority'.

Answer: Frank

While everyone else is enjoying the movie, Frank is in Margaret's tent, alone with Colonel Reese. She promises him a promotion to colonel and a position at Walter Reed if he will submit to her. Just as things begin to heat up, Margaret arrives, prompting Colonel Reese to scream 'Rape!' The tables are turned on Frank when he comes under house arrest while Hawkeye gets away scot-free!
