Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. After the Smurf talk, what do Donnie's friends say Grandma Death (Patience Cleveland) does every day?

Answer: check the mail

She never gets any, though, until Donnie writes her after reading her book.
2. What does Kitty call into question at the PTA meeting?

Answer: The reading for Miss Pomeroy's class.

The destruction in Graham Greene's short story is similar to what happened in the school, so Kitty blames the progressive curriculum.
3. What is Kitty's reply when Rose asks her if she knows who Graham Greene is?

Answer: I think we have all seen 'Bonanza'.

So, that would be a 'no', then.
4. What bit of foreshadowing is visible in the infomercial before the lifeline lesson?

Answer: Jim Cunningham pats a young boy's butt.

The foreshadowing, of course, is of Cunningham's kiddie porn ring, as revealed after the burning of his house.
5. During the lifeline lesson, Kitty hands cards to each student. What does the bully Seth (Alex Greenwald) do with his?

Answer: drops it

At first he refused to take it at all. Then he took it and promptly dropped it on the ground.
6. How does Principal Cole (David Moreland) describe Donnie's Iowa test scores?

Answer: intimidating

Movies love to show naturally smart kids acting up in school.
7. What kid's toy does Donnie pick up off of Monnitoff (Noah Wyle)'s desk and play with during their wormhole talk?

Answer: Slinky

He wraps it around his neck. In a later conversation, he uses the same slinky to demonstrate what a body's vector might look like.
8. When Monnitoff gives Donnie Roberta Sparrow's book, he mentions what she was before becoming a teacher. What was she?

Answer: nun

One day she changed and started teaching science.
9. According to Eddie at the dinner table, for what did Roberta Sparrow used to be known?

Answer: her gem collection

And Rose claims the old woman is loaded.
10. What did Grandma Death whisper to Donnie after Eddie almost hit her with his car?

Answer: Every living creature on Earth dies alone.

Donnie told Dr. Thurman this after getting the book and thinking the old woman must be connected to Frank.
11. What is written on the fridge when Eddie goes to get a beer during the football game?

The second fridge message of the movie.

His father's gun in a shoebox on the closet floor.

Answer: red

He's with the FAA and can be seen at the beginning and end of the movie in an ordinary working suit.
14. When Donnie and Gretchen hold off on kissing because of the fat man, is the man smoking?

Answer: yes

He stamped the cigarette out and turned to leave. The irony of a smoking jogger...
15. What are Donnie's parents surprised to hear about from Dr. Thurman (Katharine Ross)?

Answer: Frank the rabbit

This revelation led to Rose's classic line: 'I don't recall him ever having mentioned a rabbit.'
