He really likes to do that every morning in the shower.

2. How old is Lester?

From Quiz American Beauty

Answer: 42

3. When is the first time Ricky tapes Jane?

From Quiz American Beauty

At the start of the movie, it shows Jane on tape while in Ricky's room. But as the movie progresses, we find out that was really taped later in the storyline.

4. How old is Lester?

Answer: 42

5. Buddy Kane was known as the '_________ of Real Estate'.

7. What did Ricky Fitts tell Angela Hayes that he filmed simply "because it was beautiful"?

From Quiz "American Beauty" Love It Or Leave It

Answer: A dead bird

Ricky Fitts, played by Wes Bentley, was a bit of an odd duck. His view of things were unique, if nothing worse. He was probably the only person who might see the beauty in a dead bird (but he was fond of Lester, too, which could explain that). He did video tape a floating plastic bag as well. The symbolism in that was very rich, too. "There's something spectacular about litter in the wind!" Or at least I think he'd have probably explained it that way.

14. Who played Jim Olmeyer in "American Beauty"?

From Quiz "American Beauty" Love It Or Leave It

Answer: Scott Bakula

Bakula, along with Sam Robards, played "Jim and Jim". They were the neighbors of the Burnham's, a gay couple who really seemed more understandable than any of the others. The neighborhood had a guy over here going through a brutal mid-life crisis and a completely psycho military guy living over there.

This is when we see Angela reaching out three times in slow motion.

From Quiz American Beauty

Answer: Slaps herself

She does this in the beginning of the movie when she can't sell a house and towards the ending when Lester finds out about her cheating on him.
