Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Let's start off with this one. In "Scream", Cotton Weary was introduced as a man wrongfully convicted of murder. Who was he said to have murdered?

Answer: Maureen Prescott

Cotton Weary was convicted of murdering Maureen Prescott, Sidney's mother. Sidney accused Cotton when she saw the killer leave, wearing Cotton's jacket. The real killers, Billy and Stu, had framed Cotton and told Sidney this. In "Scream 2", Cotton was presented as an innocent man wrongfully accused, and he had a much bigger role in this movie. Sadly, Cotton was killed in the beginning of "Scream 3".
2. The first time we see Cotton in "Scream 2" is during the arranged interview between himself and Sidney, courtesy of Gale Weathers.

Answer: False

In "Scream 2", we first see Cotton on TV in Sidney's dorm room. He was being interviewed on a TV show about his proven innocence. The interview with Sidney came later, where Sidney was not too happy to learn that Gale had set her up.
3. In "Scream 2", what color shirt was Cotton wearing from the point where he's at the police station to the end of the movie?

Answer: Navy blue

Cotton wore a dark blue shirt when he was in the police station and during the rest of the movie. He was wearing a sweatshirt when he approached Sidney in the library, but they must have made him remove it at the police station.
4. While searching his house for the killer in "Scream 3", what object did Cotton grab as a weapon?

Answer: Fireplace poker

Cotton decided to use a fireplace poker as a weapon against the killer. Unfortunately, it didn't work too well. His girlfriend Christine, thinking Cotton was the killer, hit him up the side of the head with a golf club before she herself was killed.
5. In "Scream 2", there is a scene where Gale, trying to escape from the killer, bumps into Cotton, whose hands are covered in blood. What reason does Cotton give Gale for the blood on his hands?

Answer: He had been trying to help a stabbed Dewey

When Gale saw the blood on Cotton's hands, he tried to explain to her that he had found Dewey (Dewey had just been stabbed by the killer) and had tried to help him, but Gale ran away from him in terror. Gale then called the police and claimed that Cotton was the killer, which was obviously untrue.
6. During the scene in the library between Cotton and Sidney in "Scream 2", what famous journalist did Cotton say would give him and Sidney an interview?

Answer: Diane Sawyer

When Cotton told Sidney that they had an interview with Diane Sawyer, Sidney refused to participate, which made Cotton angry and resulted in him being arrested by Sidney's bodyguards. Sidney later agreed to the interview. Cotton really wanted the interview because then people would know that he was truly innocent.
7. Cotton was proved innocent of the murder from the first movie, but who did he actually shoot and most likely kill?

Answer: Debbie Salt

Cotton shot Debbie Salt, AKA Mrs. Loomis, when he came upon her with a knife at Sidney's throat. Mrs. Loomis and Mickey Altieri were the killers in "Scream 2". Though Mrs. Loomis probably died when Cotton shot her, Sidney shot her too, "just in case".
8. As Cotton pulled Gale out of the stage pit after she had been shot in "Scream 2", he made a remark to which Gale replied, "Shut up, Cotton." What did Cotton say to her?

Answer: So much for reporting from the trenches

Cotton said this to Gale as he pulled her out of the pit, and Gale told him to shut up. He later told Gale she had more lives than a cat after she was out of the pit. Cotton had earlier told Sidney that he would never do anything to hurt her.
9. In "Scream 2", as Cotton left the police station, he gave something to Sidney. What did he give her?

Answer: His business card

Cotton gave Sidney his card as he left the police station, in hopes that she would change her mind about the Diane Sawyer interview. He was quickly shooed out of the station.
10. Was Cotton the first person killed in "Scream 3"?

Answer: No

Cotton's girlfriend Christine was the first to be killed in "Scream 3". Cotton was stabbed to death almost immediately afterwards...a very disappointing finish to all the Cotton Weary fans out there! I hope you enjoyed this quiz on, in my opinion, the coolest character in the "Scream" trilogy!
