The Talented Mr. Ripley Trivia Questions
1. Whom does Tom Ripley love?

From Quiz Love, Hate, and Death in "The Talented Mr. Ripley"

Answer: Dickie and Peter

Tom is gay, obviously. The movie is saved from being anti-gay by the Peter Smith-Kingsley character, who is perhaps the most likeable person in the movie.

2. 'So now, did they put your suitcase in the wrong pile? It's just -- upstairs -- weren't you under the R stand? I thought I saw you there.'

From Quiz 'The Talented Mr Ripley' -- Quotes

Answer: Meredith Logue

This scene takes place in the train station when Tom first arrives in Italy. When he and Meredith meet, he pretends to be Dickie Greenleaf but she is observant enough to notice that he was 'traveling under 'R' and questions him about it.

3. Where is the first place you see Tom when the movie starts?

From Quiz 'The Talented Mr. Ripley'

Answer: in his cabin on a boat

The movie's opening and ending scenes are the same. At the start of the movie Tom is on a boat and he then begins to reflect back on the events that led up to his killing spree.

4. The movie 'The Talented Mr. Ripley' is based on the novel of the same name by which author?

From Quiz The Talented Mr. Ripley

Answer: Patricia Highsmith

Patricia Highsmith has written four other novels about Tom Ripley- 'Ripley's Game', 'Ripley Under Ground', 'Ripley Under Water', and 'The Boy Who Followed Ripley'.

5. Whom does Dickie love (sexually)?

From Quiz Love, Hate, and Death in "The Talented Mr. Ripley"

Answer: Marge for sure, and probably Silvana, too

Even though he mistreats both women, Dickie does seem to love them. He seems to love his men friends (fleetingly sometimes), too, but Dickie is not gay.

6. 'Who? Oh, Tom, hello, how are you? We thought you'd disappeared. We were going to send out a search party.'

From Quiz 'The Talented Mr Ripley' -- Quotes

Answer: Dickie Greenleaf

This is Dickie's greeting when he finds that Tom has come over to have lunch with Marge at her house, a few days after all three of them met on the beach.

7. How does Tom meet Dickie's parents?

From Quiz 'The Talented Mr. Ripley'

Answer: Purple Noon & Full Sun & Plein Soleil

9. Whom does Meredith love?

From Quiz Love, Hate, and Death in "The Talented Mr. Ripley"

Answer: Tom (posing as Dickie)

Meredith falls for "Dickie" (Tom) partly because she thinks they are two peas in a pod--spoiled rich kids who despise their wealthy families but can't live without their wealth and position. Ironically, Tom isn't like this at all (plus, he's gay).

10. 'I don't care for B.S. I don't care to hear it. I don't care to speak it.'

From Quiz 'The Talented Mr Ripley' -- Quotes

After Tom's attempt to make idle small talk with the American detective, Mr. MacCarron cuts to the chase with this remark and immediately begins shedding some light on Dickie's shady background.

Answer: 1,000 dollars

12. Whom does Freddie love?

From Quiz Love, Hate, and Death in "The Talented Mr. Ripley"

Answer: himself, primarily, and some woman in Rome, possibly

Freddie seems very full of himself. Of course, he doesn't quite deserve to have his head bashed in with a stone bust. At one point he mentions that he has a lover in Rome.

13. 'Is it on 'delle Croce, just off the Corso'? You're a quick study, aren't you? Last time you didn't know your a** from your elbow, now you're giving me directions.'

Answer: Freddie Miles

In this scene, Freddie is mocking Tom and making it clear to him that he knows Tom is somehow involved in Dickie's recent disappearance. Unfortunately for him, this leads to Freddie's rather untimely demise.

Dickie is trying to get Tom to admit that he never went to Princeton by talking down about the alumni -- he follows this quote with: 'Freddie's the perfect example.'

18. What name does Meredith travel under?

From Quiz 'The Talented Mr. Ripley'

From Quiz 'The Talented Mr. Ripley'

Answer: Princeton

23. Whom does Tom hate, and why?

From Quiz Love, Hate, and Death in "The Talented Mr. Ripley"

Answer: Freddie, because he is jealous of F's friendship with Dickie

Viewers have to admit that Freddie is not at all likeable. He's a loud-mouthed, self-important, snobbish jerk. He teases Tom, too, which is one reason he ends up dead. (I'm not condoning murder, of course!)

24. 'Actually, I really, really, really don't want to be on this boat with you. I can't move without you moving, which is exactly how it feels and it gives me the creeps.'
