Answer: Ethel

Mrs. Meers runs a white slavery ring of orphaned girls.

We find this out in the first reprise of "Not For the Life of Me": "Granny dear, mother mine. Old and grey at 29!"
5. How long has Millie been at the Hotel Priscilla?

Answer: 7 days

"A lot can happen in 7 days! Just read the Bible!"
6. Does Jimmy escape from prison?

Answer: No

He actually is able to pick the lock of his cell, but by this time he's fallen for Millie and doesn't want to leave her. One wonders why he doesn't just pick the lock of her cell...
7. Whose room does Millie see Jimmy leave?

Answer: Miss Dorothy's

It isn't until later that we find out that he and Miss Dorothy are actually brother and sister.
8. Which of the following people ISN'T greeted by Muzzy?

Answer: Babe Ruth

Muzzy manages to refer to Dorothy Parker as a "Rhapsody in Blue", thus inspiring George Gershwin to compose a symphony. Cheesy? Yes.
9. What does Millie try to use to remove a spot from Dorothy Parker's dress?

Answer: Soy sauce

Before, Mrs Meers had pretended to be cleaning a spot, saying she was using soy sauce (though it was really chloroform). Millie thought this would be the thing to use to remove the spot, but alas it only made things worse (with comical results!).

Answer: They speak in Chinese and English subtitles appear on a marquee above

This is especially hilarious during "Muqin", which is Chinese for "Mammy".

Answer: Butterfly

This is the name she uses when speaking to her partner about possible girls.
12. Muzzy's husband gave her a brooch with what she thought to be a fake jewel in it. What kind of jewel did it turn out to be?

Answer: Emerald

She thought it was only green glass, but loved him anyway. Of course, when she found out it was an emerald, she was twice as happy!
13. Jimmy is related to Muzzy.

Answer: True

As it turns out, she is his stepmother. That means he is rich, and Millie can have love and money.

Extra credit to anyone who knew The Life Cafe was from "Rent"!

16. How much money did Muzzy give to her children before sending them out on their own?

Answer: $25

Boy! If that ain't good parenting, I don't know what is!

Speakeasys were underground bars in the 20's which served alcohol. This was illegal due to Prohibition.

Answer: John

She refers to this as his "pet name" for her.
20. What sporting event does Jimmy invite Millie to?
