Failure to Launch Trivia Quiz

Answer: recliners

Tripp (Matthew McConaughey) is 35 and still lives with his parents, Al and Sue (Terry Bradshaw and Kathy Bates). While at a cookout, Al and Sue find out that their friends managed to get their son to move out of the house by hiring a woman who specializes in just such a thing.

They arrange for the woman, Paula (Sarah Jessica Parker), to show up at the store where Tripp is with his parents looking at recliners.

Answer: "Something's wrong with your mom."

Paula suggests to Sue and Al that they can help nudge Tripp out of the nest by giving him chores to do. Tripp is in his room with Ace, Demo and Jeffrey playing video games, when Sue steps in to say that she and Al are going out. When Tripp asks if there's any more chips and salsa, Sue says that she didn't get to the store, but he could go.

She also tells him he'll need to wash a load of his clothes and clean his bathroom. None of the guys can believe what Tripp's mom is saying, and Demo voices what they're all thinking.

Answer: sells boats

Tripp invites Paula to lunch on a boat, but then has to admit that it's not really his boat when the real owner shows up. Tripp tells Paula that he's a boat broker, he sells boats. Paula gets Tripp off the hook with the boat owner by pretending to be in the market for a boat. Tripp later teaches Paula how to sail.

Answer: bird

Kit (Zooey Deschanel)has a mockingbird outside of her house which is constantly chirping and singing. She sees a 12-gauge shotgun at the sporting goods store she'd like to have, but the store clerk tells her she can't shoot a mockingbird because it's protected.

Answer: He's shot by paintballs.

Paula tries to make Tripp bond with her by making him believe she is having to put her dog to sleep. To cheer her up, Tripp invites her to a paintball course with his friends. During the game, Ace (Justin Bartha) catches sight of Kit over to the side.

He stands up and stares at her, and is hit in his helmet by a paintball. After being hit several more times, he asks no one in particular, "Am I out?". Ace tries to talk to Kit, who is waiting for Paula, but she doesn't even want to give him one of her beers when he asks for one.

Answer: He takes her home to meet his parents.

After spending the previous day sailing with Paula, Tripp announces to Ace and Demo that she's got to go. He thinks she's starting to get serious because she gave him "the look". After an awkward meeting with Tripp's parents, Tripp is surprised when Paula doesn't seem to mind that he lives with them.

When they're alone, Sue tells Paula that the only reason Tripp brings girls home to meet his parents is because he's dumping them. Paula says that's not happening, and breaks her rule not to sleep with clients.

Answer: He sees her with another client.

While in a coffee shop, Ace sees Paula sitting at a table with a man, whose hands she is touching. When the man goes to the restroom, Ace sits down at the table. Paula tries to say the man is only a friend, but Ace brings up the hand touching, and Paula knows she's been found out. Paula asks what he wants, and we next see Ace arriving to pick up a reluctant Kit for a date.

Answer: True

Ace finds out about Paula first, and then tells Demo (Bradley Cooper). Tripp, Jeffrey, Demo and Paula go to a baseball game, and while Jeffrey and Tripp go for ice cream, Demo tells Paula that he knows. He also explains about Tripp's fiancee, Amy, who died six years ago. Once Paula realizes that's why Tripp is the way he is, she plans on breaking up with him. Meanwhile, Demo tells Tripp everything about Paula, even though he sort of told Paula he wouldn't. Tripp prepares a nice dinner for Paula and his parents, and then lets them know he's aware of what's going on. Paula tries to talk to him, but Tripp refuses, and leaves.

Answer: He is naked.

Tripp goes by their house to pick up some of his things, and goes to his old room. Al has taken over the room, and is in there, naked, feeding his fish. When Tripp asks why he's naked, Al tells him that this is his naked room. After years of having to wear a suit, Al doesn't want to wear any clothes.

Answer: False

Paula tries to contact Tripp, but he doesn't return her calls. Meanwhile, Al and Sue gather Ace, Demo, Jeffrey and Kit together to come up with a plan to get Paula and Tripp back together. Paula decides to move back to Denver, but as Kit is driving her to the airport, Kit says she has a stop to make. Paula and Tripp get locked together in Ace's house so they'll have to talk, and eventually reconcile. Thanks to the surveillance system Ace set up, he, Kit and Demo are watching Tripp and Paula on a laptop in a coffee shop. Eventually so many people gather around them to watch, that they use the large wall screen so everyone can see.
