6. Everett escaped the prison farm for a specific reason. Why did Everett decide to escape?

From Quiz Characters from "O Brother, Where Art Thou?"

Answer: His wife was going to remarry

Everett initially told Pete and Delmar that he was in prison for stealing $1.2 million dollars from an armored car. Everett told Pete and Delmar that he hid the money in his cabin, and that they should break out of the prison farm and retrieve the money. Delmar and Pete were Everett's chain mates on the prison farm, so Everett couldn't escape unless Pete and Delmar escaped, too. Later in the movie Everett and Delmar got separated from Pete for a while. They later met up again, and Everett told them the truth: there was no treasure. Everett was sent to the prison farm for practicing law without a license, and the reason Everett wanted to escape was to stop his wife from remarrying. Needless to say, Pete was enraged, and Delmar was dumbfounded.

This was a perfect part for him. He always seemed to be in his own world and saw things through this world only.

When Pete confided to them that he had told the law about the treasure and Everett admits that there was no treasure, Delmar asks him where's all the money for the armored car job.

It has to be Dapper Dan or nothing at all and the hair net was a nice touch.

Answer: no & n & NO & No & N

Actually he was going to and it was said that he did a fine job at it but George didn't think it sounded good enough so he just lip-synced them.

When the three men are in trouble, I love their use of facial expressions showing confusion and sheer panic.

If you look closely, you can see it near the beginning of the film.

From Quiz Characters from "O Brother, Where Art Thou?"

Answer: Bible Salesman

Big Dan was a Bible salesman, and he mentioned that Bibles were selling like crazy because America was in the middle of the Great Depression, and people wanted answers. Big Dan suggested that Everett and Delmar accompany him on a picnic. While they were picnicking, Big Dan broke a branch off of a tree, beat Everett and Delmar, and stole all of their money. He also cruelly killed the toad that Delmar mistakenly thought was Pete. Poor, simple-minded Delmar was crushed when this happened.

14. Who turns them in to "the authorities"?

From Quiz O Brother, Where Art Thou?

From Quiz Characters from "O Brother, Where Art Thou?"

Answer: You Are My Sunshine

Pappy eventually won the election, because Homer Stokes revealed that he was a member of the Ku Klux Klan at a benefit concert for Pappy O'Daniels. This concert was broadcast over the radio, and Homer Stokes lost his popularity with the Mississippi voters.

17. Who is baptized or saved?

From Quiz O Brother, Where Art Thou?

Delmar is so glad to be saved and such a contrast to the Atheist that Everett is. Pete doesn't say much about it.

Again, when Everett admitted to them that there was no treasure, after Delamr asked him what happened to the money, he admitted he never knocked off an armored car. He went down for practicing law without a license.

From Quiz O Brother, Where Art Thou?

The audience learns that Pete isn't a horny toad or dead after all as he is being beaten to reveal where his friends are. Delmar first sees him in a chain gang on the side of the road.

27. When Everett and Delmar see Pete in the theatre, what does Pete say to them?

From Quiz O Brother, Where Art Thou?

Answer: "Do not seek the treasure!"

There is no treasure. Everett never held up an armored truck. He was practicing law without a license and busted out of jail because he had to stop his wife from marrying someone else.
