When the Griswalds arrive at their hotel in London (the Royal Imperial Windsor Arms) and get their rooms, Ellen decides to take a hot bath. She begins looking around the room for a bathroom, and when she mentions to Clark that there is no bathroom, he begins opening doors in their room to prove to her that the bathroom is there somewhere. It turns out that there is only one bathroom shared between all the rooms in the hall, although the brochure stated that each room had its own private bathroom and shower.

From Quiz "National Lampoon's European Vacation" Quotes

Answer: Clark

When the family arrives in Germany, they are planning on staying with their relatives, Helga and Fritz. However, after they arrive, they mistake the address of their relatives' home, and end up staying with complete strangers. And, because the strangers don't speak a word of English, they can't tell the Griswalds that they have the wrong house, so they end up just letting them stay with them. Clark tells Ellen how amazed he is at how strong family ties are, and how amazing it is to be able to get along well with "Helga and Fritz" although they don't understand English at all.

Answer: Audrey

When the family is walking through Rome, Audrey starts complaining about how much she misses Jack. Clark tells her that she should see the Colosseum before she goes home, and that Jack will always be there when she gets back. She tells him that the Colosseum will always be there, that it has been there for hundreds of years, but she says if she doesn't get home to Jack right away, he's going to fall in love with another girl named Debbie, and Audrey says she will die if that happens. That's when Clark asks, "Don't you want to see the Colosseum before you die?", which upsets Audrey even more, as she realizes she isn't getting anywhere with her argument.

From Quiz "National Lampoon's European Vacation" Quotes

Answer: Ellen

After seeing herself portrayed as a sexual image on a billboard in Rome, Ellen goes ballistic on Clark. He had promised her he would erase a video he had taken of her dancing around in a towel at home before they left for the trip. However, a man had stolen their camera while they were in France, and had apparently taken the footage of Ellen dancing in her towel and turned it into some type of naughty movie. However, Ellen is furious with Clark, since he had promised her that he would erase that footage before anyone would see it. She then walks away from him and tells him that she is going back to the hotel. Clark says, "We didn't vote on that, did we honey?", and that's where Ellen starts with her line of "Oh, forget your votes!".
