Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Adam: "Great--a prosecution based on debt-refinancing. It's gonna get you real far with a jury." Ben: "I'll lay it out for them--I'll draw 'em a Monopoly board if I have to." Adam: "I'd like to see them get from _____ to GO."

Answer: Park Place

This is from the episode entitled "The Serpent's Tooth." It really shows Adam's cynicism, the source of many of his memorable lines.
2. "Last time I checked, ____ was a small town upstate... different zip code from the criminal courts building."

Answer: Utopia

"Utopia" is the name Thomas More gave to the ideal society he created in his book of the same name. It literally means "Nowhere."
3. When Adam says that "Youth has no patience with the elderly, particularly the troublesome and cantankerous," Ben tells Claire, "Sounds like personal experience." How does Adam respond?

Answer: "I'm a sweetheart--and middle-aged!"

This comes from the episode fittingly entitled "The Golden Years."
Adam has one son named Josh, so his remark about youth most probably does come from personal experience, despite his objection.
4. Ben warns Adam that a defendent "is not your typical killer." What does Adam say?

Answer: "Sure he is. He killed someone."

This is from the episode "Big Bang" and is typical Adam. Apparently Polonius in "Hamlet" is right: "Brevity is the soul of wit."
5. To whom does Adam say, "Don't bother inviting me to your disbarment party," "You get an A for self-esteem," and "Quick! Close the door before someone brings us a case we can win!"?

Answer: McCoy

Good old Jack... not always orthodox in his law practice, is he? He and Adam clash sometimes, but Adam gives Jack a lot of leeway in his cases.
6. To whom does Adam say, "Pride goeth before a fall. I'll send you flowers in the intensive care unit."

Answer: Ben Stone

This is from the episode "Wages of Love." Adam wants Ben to allow the jury the option of manslaughter, but Ben says he has a solid case for Murder 2, and that there is no need to tempt the jury to convict on a lesser offense. In the end, Ben regrets his decision and offers a plea while the jury is in deliberation.
7. "____ makes the world go round -- it also makes plea bargains difficult."

Answer: Love

This is from the episode "Cradle to Grave." Adam is not as cynical about love as Lennie Briscoe (who has been "single three times") but his pessimism can creep into his speech, as it does here.
8. "In ____, two choices: do nothing, do something. Nothing has fewer risks."

Answer: politics

Any politican could tell you how true that statement is...this is from the episode "Wedded Bliss."
9. "You've got five judges, Miss Kincaid, two of which have to look to their right to see ____."

Answer: Thurgood Marshall

This is from the episode "Black Tie." Statements like this are great because they combine Adam's wit, cynicism, and intelligence. Thurgood Marshall was instrumental in his work with the NAACP during the civil rights movement and was the first African-American Supreme Court Justice.
10. "First day of law school: 'Known _____ do not make good witnesses!'"

Answer: perjurers

This is from the episode "American Dream." Perjury is lying under oath on the stand in court, and if proven, can carry jail time.
