'M*A*S*H' - 'Peace on Us' Trivia Quiz

Answer: Latrine

According to Colonel Potter, there is gasoline stored next to the camp latrine and hence no smoking will be allowed there. This prompts Charles to snatch the cigar from Klinger's mouth and toss it to the ground.

Oddly, Hawkeye appears in a wheelchair at the beginning and end of this episode. Could this be some kind of metaphor?

Answer: San Francisco

Radar provides Margaret with the bad news via telegram. She takes the news lightly, imagining that Donald will only be gone for a short time. Later, she will learn the awful truth.

Answer: She kicks one of the doors down

Margaret learns via telephone that her husband's transfer to San Francisco is permanent, rather than temporary. Making it worse, it is Donald himself that has requested the permanent transfer. Margaret is so angry that she kicks one of the doors down in Radar's office.

Answer: Red

Hawkeye fumbles around with his army shirt. 'Look at this bilious shmatte', he says. 'Everything here is green. I'm so sick of green,' he continues. 'Just once I'd like to see some other color. Like red for instance. Not this kind of red [pointing at the blood on his hospital gown]. Red that's rosy; red that's cheery.'

Answer: 45

The rotation point schedule has been upped from 36 to 45 points. Needless to say, the Swamp-dwellers are livid, especially Hawkeye.

There has been a popular rumor amongst fans of 'M*A*S*H' trivia that the army ended the rotation point system before the Korean War. This is not accurate. It is accurate however that the army decreased, rather than increased, the number of rotation points needed to return home from the war. Hence, the increase presented in this episode is a fiction.

Answer: true

Hawkeye walks angrily out of the swamp, upset about the change in rotation point requirements. He meets an equally furious Margaret, who has discovered that Donald 'ran out on [her]'. Later, Margaret asks Colonel Potter for advice on whether or not she should divorce Donald, to which the Colonel replies that he would 'dump him'. Potter asks Margaret what her gut tells her, and Margaret decides that it is time to get a divorce.

Answer: Panmunjom

Indeed, Panmunjom was the site where the final armistice of 1953 was signed. The village is located right on the border between North and South Korea.

Answer: Gastritis

Hawkeye pretends to have arrived at Panmunjom in order to tend to a sick general, but he does not provide a specific name. The guard at the gate accompanies Hawkeye into the peace talks where he learns of General Tomlin's gastritis.

Answer: Join hands and say 'Howdy'

'Come on, join hands. Everybody join hands and say, 'Howdy',' Hawkeye implores. When no one will participate, he continues, 'Come on! It's just one little word. You mean you can't even get together on one little word? What's the matter here? I don't understand. You know what to do why can't you just do it? People are dying out there you've got to stop it! You can't wait anymore! You can't!'

Answer: Colonel Potter

Everyone at the party is dressed in red, and has their hair dyed red to boot. Hawkeye is delighted.

Major Goss has been sent to the 4077th to inquire about Hawkeye's visit to Panmunjom. When confronted by Colonel Potter, Major Goss introduces himself thusly: 'Colonel Potter, I'm Major Dean Goss, 'I' Corps.' Potter responds, 'Colonel Sherman Potter. Who are you?' Goss replies, 'My name is Goss, 'I' Corps'. Later, Goss reveals that he has red hair and asks if he would 'fit in' to the party.
