Million Dollar Baby Trivia Questions
1. Danger brings Scrap a frozen water bottle, and asks a question. What does he want to know?

From Quiz "Million Dollar Baby" Part #3

Answer: "How do they get the ice through this tiny, little hole?"

Scrap smiles, and tells Danger that he will show him how the ice is made inside the bottle. He does not make fun of him. He does not laugh at him.

2. Jay Baruchel plays a "special" character who works out at the gym. What is the name of the character who appears mentally challenged?

From Quiz More "Million Dollar Baby"

Answer: Danger Barch

Poor Danger Barch can't even afford decent clothes or pay his gym dues...but he holds a special place in the heart of Scrap. Jay Baruchel starred in the 2001 cult favorite TV series "Undeclared" as college freshman, Steven Karp.

3. What is the name of the gym?

From Quiz "Million Dollar Baby" Part #1

Answer: Hit Pit Gym

This is the setting for a great deal of the movie. It's just in an old building on the side of a dusty, hot road.

4. What is the name of the character played by Morgan Freeman?

From Quiz Million Dollar Baby

Answer: Scrap

Frankie Dunn's only friend is Scrap (Morgan Freeman), an ex-boxer who looks after Frankie's gym. Scrap and Frankie have known each other for over 40 years. Scrap's full name is Eddie "Scrap-Iron" Dupris. Morgan Freeman won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his performance.

5. What does Frankie tell Maggie that she does every time that she's under pressure?

From Quiz "Million Dollar Baby" Part #2

Answer: Holds her breath

Frankie is watching everything that Maggie does or does not do, in order to teach her everything he knows. She has never had anyone help her before, and she is no longer alone in the world.

6. Frankie and Scrap have a discussion about the purchase of a product used at the gym. Frankie says... "Why can't you just buy the cheap stuff, you always have to buy the expensive stuff." What item are they discussing?

From Quiz More "Million Dollar Baby"

Answer: bleach

Scrap uses the bleach to clean up at the gym, in particular, to clean and disinfect the boxing ring. The dialog continues: Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris: "It smells better, Frankie." Frankie Dunn: "Bleach smells like bleach." Funny stuff! It's odd to think that Frankie is the penny pincher, yet, Scrap doesn't even replace holey socks.

7. What title does Danger want?

From Quiz "Million Dollar Baby" Part #1

Answer: Welter Weight Champion of the World

Danger wants to fight Thomas Hearns for the Welter Weight title. Little does he know that Thomas Hearns retired years ago. Scrap, played by Morgan Freeman, doesn't have the heart to tell him.

8. What does Frankie do almost every day over the past 23 years?

From Quiz Million Dollar Baby

Answer: attends mass

Frankie has attended Mass almost every day for the past 23 years, perhaps looking for forgiveness for the painful estrangement from his daughter. Father Horvak (Brian F.O'Byrne) often jokes with Frankie and indicates that he only attends mass to harass the priest.

9. At the hospital, when Maggie is waiting to be treated for her broken nose, Scrap and Frankie are sitting with her. Maggie ask what Frankie is reading, and he tells her that he is reading Yeats. Then, Scrap says what?

From Quiz "Million Dollar Baby" Part #3

Answer: "Why don't you talk a little Yeats to her? Show her what a treat that is."

Maggie's nose and face are swollen. If she doesn't hold her head up, her nose will bleed like a faucet. Scrap thinks that the fact that Frankie is reading Yeats at this moment is pretty ridiculous, considering Maggie's situation.

10. Who is the "Narrator" for Million Dollar Baby?

From Quiz More "Million Dollar Baby"

Answer: Scrap

We hear Scrap's voice throughout the movie, and then at the end, we learn that the voice over is in the form of a letter that he writes to Frankie's daughter. Even though Scrap never sees Frankie again, Scrap wants to write to Frankie's daughter to let her know "what kind of man her father was". The use of Scrap as the narrator is different from the story upon which it is based. The screenplay was written by Paul Haggis which was adapted from the book "Rope Burns: Stories From the Corner" by F.X. Toole. Toole's is a pseudonym for cut man and long time boxing manager Jerry Boyd.

11. Where is Maggie Fitzgerald, Hilary Swank's character, from?

12. What is Maggie's last name?

From Quiz Million Dollar Baby

Answer: Fitzgerald

I hope you realize that it had to be an Irish name after the green robe and the bagpipes! Maggie (Hilary Swank) has an Irish surname, but she is from southwest Missouri. Her mother's name is Earline Fitzgerald, played by Margo Martindale and Riki Lindhome plays her sister Mardell. Hilary Swank won the Best Actress in a Leading Role, for her performance in the role of Maggie.

From Quiz "Million Dollar Baby" Part #2

Answer: Keep your left up

Frankie doesn't like the way Sally is managing her, and finally goes down to the ringside. Maggie is frustrated, and wants to win. Frankie takes over, and Sally backs off. Maggie wins the fight after Frankie tells her what to do.

15. How does Maggie attempt to commit suicide?

From Quiz More "Million Dollar Baby"

Answer: tries to bite off her tongue

Maggie becomes paralyzed in her final fight, is hospitalized indefinitely and then she loses a leg to bedsores. Maggie tries to kill herself after asking Frankie to help her end her life. At first he doesn't agree but he continues to struggle with his decision. One of the most powerful monologues in the movie is Maggie explaining to Frankie why she wants to die. "I can't be like this, Frankie. Not after what I've done. I've seen the world. People chanted my name. Well, not my name, some damn name you gave me. They were chanting for me. I was in magazines. You think I ever dreamed that'd happen? I was born two pounds, one-and-a-half ounces. Daddy used to tell me I'd fight my way into this world, and I'd fight my way out. That's all I wanna do, Frankie. I just don't wanna fight you to do it. I got what I needed. I got it all. Don't let 'em keep taking it away from me. Don't let me lie here 'till I can't hear those people chanting no more."

17. What is the nickname that Maggie calls Frankie?

From Quiz Million Dollar Baby

Answer: Boss

Maggie is relentless in her commitment to boxing, and she will only settle on Frankie (Clint Eastwood) being her trainer. He doesn't like the nickname at first, but because Maggie doesn't listen, just like other women, she continues to call him "boss". Clint Eastwood won the Academy Award for Best Director in 2004 and also was nominated for Best Actor.

18. Frankie sets up the fight with Billy, The Blue Bear, for one million dollars, split 50/50. Where is the fight being fought?

This is a huge fight, and a scary one. Billy, The Blue Bear, could care less about Maggie, and just wants to beat her any way she can.

20. In an early scene in the movie, an ad for a 21st century TV show appears on the side of a bus, when we first learn that Maggie is living in Los Angeles. What TV show is promoted in the ad?

Answer: The Apprentice

"The Apprentice" first appeared on NBC in 2004. It is a reality TV based show in which contestants compete for a job as an apprentice to billionaire Donald Trump.

From Quiz "Million Dollar Baby" Part #1

Answer: Winners are simply willing to do what losers won't.

A great deal of Maggie's inspiration comes from within herself, Frankie and Scrap. I am certain that the motto on the wall by her punching bag, is an added bonus, enhancing a dream that at times seems impossible.

22. What is the name of the gym that Frankie Dunn owns?

From Quiz Million Dollar Baby

Answer: The Hit Pit

The Hit Pit, is an old-school boxing gym and is Frankie's life. The Hit Pit is populated, mostly, by downbeat losers whom he spends some time training.

23. Frankie asks Maggie if she wants to fly or drive to the title fight. What is Maggie's response?

From Quiz "Million Dollar Baby" Part #3

Answer: "Fly there, drive back."

She is so pleased that Frankie is letting her make a decision. It is the first time he has let her make a decision, and she jokes with him about it. Maggie says, "Fly there, drive back", at two different times. The second time is when she is being transported by the ambulance, and looks over at Frankie, smiles and gets to say it again.

27. What is Frankie Dunn's number one rule for all his boxers?

From Quiz Million Dollar Baby
