Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In a movie mash up, the poet Dennis Barlow finds love with Aimee, hair stylist to the recently departed under the lustful eye of Mr. Joyboy. However, Randle McMurphy also has designs on Aimee. Nurse Ratched puts a swift end to everyone's schemes with recommendations for lobotomies all around. Which comic tragedy is this?
2. This is a film/play mash up with Maurice Walsh and G.B. Shaw as authors but what is it called? John Thornton, an American boxer, returns to his family's homeland and falls in love with a red-haired Irish spinster. Her brother refuses to hand over her dowry when she marries because he wants her to accept the older of her two guardians, Roebuck Ramsden, as her sole guardian and husband. She refuses and a donnybrook ensues while a play "Don Juan in Hell" is performed for the village. She ultimately marries Jack Tanner, another of her guardians. How many guardians does one fiery tempered Irish lass need?
3. In a movie mash up, Oliver Barrett IV and Jennifer Cavilleri meet cute at the library and are soon deeply in love. Jennifer's terminal illness doesn't come between them but the interference of Ben and Katie Jordan, with their incessant navel-gazing and bitterness about their 15 year old failing marriage, does. The kids call it off rather than turn out like the Jordans. What depressing mash up is this?
4. This one book/one song mash up concerns the several wardships of John Jarndyce and a long, drawn out legal case about the terms of a will. Oddly enough, all the action is conducted in a New Orleans brothel, with Esther Summerson bewailing the fact that she's one girl that's been ruined by the brothel. She reports, though, that her mother, Lady Honoria Dedlock, has sewn her a pair of new blue jeans. So things may get better. What's the new title?
5. In this two book mash up we find Alexandre searching feverishly for his wife Margot, thought to be murdered eight years ago and only recently heard from.

He hides with Ned, whose feet stick out of bed. What book do we have here?
6. Two movies go into this mash up, but what movie do they make? Wang Lung and O-Lan work hard on their land. Then famine comes and they have to sell all their possessions except their house and the land. They must move south to a big city where they can work to eat. But how can they get there? Luckily, Mac, Zeebo and Wiploc crash into a Valley girl's pool and, after a good shaving, are ready to take Wang's family south in their space ship.
7. "You must remember this, a kiss is still a kiss, a sigh is still a sigh, the fundamental things apply...if you're lost you can look and you will find me...
If you fall I will catch you, I will be waiting..." What do these lyrics from two songs combine to create?
8. Here's another song mash up. "Hey, where did we go, Days when the rains came? Down in the hollow, playing a new game...Tall and tan and young and lovely, (title) goes walking and when she passes, each one she passes goes, Aaah..." What is the new song's title?
9. Here's a two book mash up that needs you to pick the right new title? Lyra Belaqua searches for her friend Roger, who has been carted off by the Gobblers.
