Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Where is Tom Cruise's character, Brian, returning from at the start of the movie?

Answer: Army

The movie starts with him on a bus returning home from the Army. Then it goes into a long string of scenes where he is interviewing for different jobs. He ends up going to college because he doesn't have the education to get a job that he wants.
2. What is the name of the diner where Jordan works?

Answer: Jerry's

When they're on the beach together in Jamaica, Jordan tells Brian that her "obsession" is drawing, but she waits on tables at Jerry's diner.
3. When Brian breaks up with Bonnie, he tells her he moved all of his stuff out of her place, but he left a can of what in her fridge?

Answer: Spam

Brian ends up with Bonnie in Jamaica after Doug bets him that he could land a rich chick. The next day Brian goes looking for Jordan, but she has left. He decides to cut his losses and head back to New York with Bonnie. Since she's a rich, successful woman, he thinks she can help him get somewhere.

They finally break up when he realizes that she is just stringing him along, he isn't going to gain anything, and he really doesn't like her. Before leaving, he tells her, "I left a can of Spam in your refrigerator, I hope your Brewers Yeast doesn't take it personally".
4. Jordan's family is extremely wealthy.

Answer: True

Brian goes to Jordan's apartment to try to convince her that they should be together. Her neighbor tells him she is at her parents' place. When Brian finds out that Jordan's family lives on Park Avenue, he visits their penthouse and asks her why she didn't tell him that she was the "original rich chick".
5. What actress plays Jordan?

Answer: Elisabeth Shue

This was a pretty big role for Elisabeth Shue. At this time she had only a few credits under her belt. She had a small part in "The Karate Kid", and then her first real lead in "Adventures in Babysitting". It was after "Cocktail" that she got her role as Jennifer Parker in the second and third installments of "Back to the Future" opposite Michael J. Fox.
6. What is the name of the reporter that Brian starts dating while working for Doug?

Answer: Coral

When Brian tells Doug about his new relationship with Coral, Doug is skeptical. He bets Brian $50 that Coral will be in the sack with some other guy before the week is out. Doug ends up being the guy that Coral sleeps with. Doug tells Brian he had to make his money back, and that he did him a favor.
7. What does Doug call his sayings?

Answer: Coughlin's Law

Throughout the movie, Doug constantly gives these little tidbits of advice, or words of wisdom, which he calls "Coughlin's Law". One of them is "Never tell tales about a woman. No matter how far away she is, she'll always hear you".
8. Doug kills himself at the end of the movie.

Answer: True

Doug ends up broke and depressed at the end of the movie, and kills himself. Sadly, at the same time, his wife is trying to seduce his best friend, Brian.
9. What is the name of Jordan's friend who Brian helps get an ambulance for, when Brian and Jordan meet in Jamaica?

Answer: Dulcy

Dulcy has a few key moments in the movie after this. She is the one who tells Brian in Jamaica that Jordan has gone back home. She is also the one who ends up revealing that Jordan's family lives on Park Avenue.
10. At the end of the movie, Jordan tells Brian that she can still spook him. What news does she tell him that she thinks will do it?

Answer: She's having twins

The "spook" talk starts when Brian first tries to get back together with her. He tells Jordan that his reason for cheating was that he got spooked. Now, he says, he's confident that he won't get spooked again. Then Jordan says "I'm pregnant", to which Brian's immediate response is, "I'm spooked".
