Bill told Georgie to get some wax so he could seal the boat against water. Georgie was taken back by this request because the wax was in the basement. It became quite apparent that Georgie was afraid of the basement. The basement was indeed a dark and scary place. Georgie tried to turn the lights on in the basement. The lights, of course, did not work. Georgie would reluctantly descend into the basement looking for the wax.

From Quiz Invictus

Answer: Morgan Freeman

According to Wikipedia, Morgan Freeman was the first actor to be cast for the film and it is hard to imagine anyone else being better in the role. Mandela became the first black President of South Africa following the first multi-racial elections in the country. He concentrated on reconciliation between the Afrikaners, who had been responsible for the system of apartheid, and the black population. The film began with Mandela's very first days in his new role and depicted the uncertain relationship between the new, black, administration and some of the white staff. In particular, the bodyguards allocated to protect him were supporters of the previous regime and the film showed Mandela's new security team reacting badly to having to work with men who they believed would have previously been trying to kill them. Freeman was nominated for the Best Actor Oscar for this role, and has starred in many other films, including 'Driving Miss Daisy' (1989) and 'The Shawshank Redemption' (1994).

From Quiz In the Mouth of Madness

Answer: a crayon

Trent is locked up kicking and screaming, insisting that he is not insane. When psychiatrist Dr. Wrenn is sent into his cell to interview him (to find out if he is "one of them"; more on that later), the head of the asylum informs him that Trent made one request; a single black crayon. Upon entering Trent's cell, Wrenn finds the the walls, the floor, even Trent himself, covered in black crosses and other scrawlings. By this point, Trent has become quite subdued (no drugs required), and has reconsidered his desire to be let out of the asylum. He then proceeds to tell Dr. Wrenn how he wound up in the nuthouse, which is the jump-off point for the main story. After watching the whole movie, it is clear that Trent came to the realization that he would be much safer in his cell than outside when the end of mankind came.

From Quiz Idiocracy

Answer: Clevon

The early part of the movie shows a geneological study of two separate cases: a couple with IQs of 142 and 143, and a country hick named Clevon with an IQ of 84. This is to demonstrate the reproduction rates between smart and stupid people. The smarter couple carefully think through their desire to have a child, and every time we check back in with them (every three years), out of prudence they still haven't had a kid. Meanwhile, every time we see Clevon he seems to have fathered another handful of children (including with the next door neighbor). Eventually his son, Clevon Jr. (IQ of 73) is shown, after winning a high school football game, surrounded by cheerleaders, screaming how he plans to sleep with all them. From this brief study, we can see the rate at which the stupid would come to severely outnumber even the marginally intelligent, thus leading to the idiocracy of 2505, which Joe ends up stranded in.
