Waitress Jenna Huntiger (Keri Russell) works at Joe's Pie Shop with her friends Becky (Cheryl Hines) and Dawn (Adrienne Shelley).

Everyday at the pie shop Jenna creates a new pie and on the day she discovers that she is pregnant she creates this pie.

However, Jenna might be a little bit hypocritical as she is having an affair with her married doctor.

6. Dawn marries a man whose first name is also a state. What is his name?

Answer: Oklahoma

Because Dawn has terrible luck meeting men she begins answering personal ads for dates. She sets up a date with a man named Pete, but Pete sends his cousin Oklahoma (known as "Okie") instead.

"Earl Murders Me Because I'm Having An Affair Pie" includes smashed blackberries and raspberries in a chocolate crust
"I Can't Have No Affair Because It's Wrong And I Don't Want Earl To Kill Me Pie" originally contains vanilla custard and a whole banana, but then Jenna decides to hold the banana.
"Pregnant Miserable Self Pitying Loser Pie" contains lumpy oatmeal with fruitcake mashed in en flamb�.

9. Jenna sings a song to her baby about making a pie, the same song her mother sang to her as a child. What word is missing from this line of the song? "Gonna make a pie from heaven above, gonna be filled with ________ love"

Answer: Strawberry

The song that Jenna sings is very sweet. She sings it once while Dr. Pomatter is at her house and again to her baby at the end of the film. The entire song goes like this:

Baby don't you cry
Gonna make a pie
Gonna make a pie with a heart in the middle.

Baby don't be blue
Gonna make for you
Gonna make a pie with a heart in the middle.

Gonna make a pie from heaven above
Gonna be filled with strawberry love.

Baby don't you cry
Gonna make a pie
And hold you forever in the middle of my heart.
