Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. When Julie first entered Ben's kitchen, what was he doing?

Answer: To see a friend

She tried to get Ben to come with her, but he refused saying he had to do his taxes.

3. Who was the actress that Ben liked in "A River Runs Deep?"

Answer: Catherine

Catherine just happened to be the sister of Julie's friend Jackie. After Ben refused to come along, she said that she'd tell Catherine that he was a fan.

4. Why couldn't Ben deduct the dinner he mentioned in the first scene?

Answer: He took Julie out for her birthday

Julie went on to say that it wasn't a business dinner as Ben had held her hand that night.

5. What did Julie tell Jackie when they first saw each other?

Answer: "You don't look a day older."

And Jackie told Julie that she looked "positively skinny."

6. What did Julie say when Jackie asked about Ben?

Apparently Julie and Ben have been getting closer in recent episodes. But then Julie leaves the show only to return as a guest star in one of the episodes of the last season.

Answer: "I'm a prosecuting attorney, you need a defense lawyer."

The last time Julie defended someone, it was her friend in Baltimore and she did do a pretty good job (well, except for the fact that the prosecutor was her ex-husband bent). I guess that saying she couldn't was a way for her to get Ben to LA.

12. What was Ben doing when Julie called from LA?

It always seems that whenever someone calls for him, it's int he middle of the night."

13. Ben said he'd go to LA as long as...

Answer: faithful wife

And if the media got hold of Peter's pictures of her, Catherine's career would be over.

Catherine explained by saying that the birthmark was usually covered up by makeup in her films.
