Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. During the estate auction, what item are Barbara and Oliver bidding against one another for?

Answer: Carved Oriental Statue

This is the scene where Oliver and Barbara first meet. It seems that even before they become aquainted, they are competing against one another. During the estate sale, Oliver is seen with an antique reference book. The auctioneer's description of the statue being Japanese is apparently incorrect, because Oliver's antique reference book clearly states that it is Chinese.

2. While walking to ferry, Oliver mentions he is attending Harvard Law School. Where does Barbara say she is going?

Answer: Madison

Oliver walks Barbara to the ferry because he is trying to impress her. He makes a point of saying that he is not rich and is attending Harvard on a scholarship, in a further attempt to impress her.

3. What type of college scholarship does Barbara have?

Answer: Gymnastics

Barbara mentions that she is not rich either, and is attending college on a gymnastics scholarship. She is concerned about growing taller because her vaulting and tumbling are not what they used to be. She then demonstrates a "strength move" for Oliver while standing on her hands.

4. What is Barbara's culinary specialty, which inspires her to start a catering business?

Answer: Pate

Barbara receives so many compliments about her liver pate that she decides to start her own catering business. Although she is a marvelous cook, this undertaking is a diversion from her marital situation.

5. Barbara and Oliver have a cat and dog, respectively. The cat's name is Kitty. What is the dog's name?

Answer: Benny

Oliver accidentally backs over Barbara's cat when he is on his way out to purchase a sleeping aid (which Barbara refused to give him). This is an unforunate event which doesn't help their marriage situation.

6. Barbara and Oliver had many violent confrontations during their divorce. Which of these items was NOT broken/destroyed during their numerous clashes?

Answer: Grand Piano

The Roses did not own a grand piano. However, they did own a gourmet stove which Oliver mangled, an antique roadster which Barbara ran over, and a beautiful chandelier, from which both Oliver and Barbara fell.

7. Oliver's law associate and friend, Gavin, is seen driving what model car throughout the movie?

Answer: Corvette

This movie takes place over a period of about 20 years. Gavin is seen driving an updated Corvette as the story progresses. In particular, he drives a red Corvette Stingray to Barbara and Oliver's dinner party. Later, he is seen driving an updated 80's version of the vehicle.

8. What was the main sticking point between Barbara and Oliver, which hindered them from finalizing their divorce?

Answer: Refusal to sell the house

Both Barbara and Oliver refuse to sell the house. Barbara contends that she found and redecorated the house, and therefore should be entitled to it. Oliver believes the house is rightly his because he paid for it. Sharing the house turns out to be a bad idea as they systematically destroy it to spite one another.

9. At one point, Oliver is rushed to the hospital because he thinks he is having a heart attack. What was the actual diagnosis?

Answer: Hiatal Hernia

Oliver experiences chest pains and thinks he is dying from a heart attack. An unsympathetic ER doctor explains that his discomfort is a result of esophogeal tears, or hiatal hernia.

10. In the end, who ends up with the house?

Answer: None of these

Because Barbara and Oliver both refused to sell and move out of their precious house, they end up dangling from a chandelier from which they plummet to their deaths.
