Bill winkled the truth out of every pitiful claim made by the beggar. He eventually gave the man his briefcase. The homeless fellow, in return, threw an apple at Bill.

5. Bill's ex-wife (Elizabeth) and daughter (Adele) lived in which Los Angeles area city?

Answer: Venice

She lived in a house with a white picket fence set amidst Venice's eclectic population of Hare Krishna's, bodybuilders, students, and tourists.

6. When Bill requested breakfast at the Whammy Burger, Rick (manager) told him they stopped serving breakfast at 11:30 A.M. Bill looked at his watch. What time was it?

Answer: 11:33 A.M.

Since he did not receive his breakfast 3 minutes after the deadline, Bill pulled out a machine gun. After looking around the restaurant, he decided he wanted lunch after all.

7. When Bill went into the army/navy store he was interested in buying what form of clothing?

Answer: Hiking boots

Nick (proprietor), played by Frederic Forrest, lied to the cops to save Bill from being caught. He then offered Bill a rocket. Bill refused, engaged in an argument with Nick, and killed him. Afterward, he did take the rocket with which he destroyed a road construction site later in the film.

8. Captain Yardley (Prendergast's boss) said he did not like Prendergast because he did not _____.

Answer: curse

Prendergrast made his cursing abilities clear to the Captain on live tv in the final scene.

9. What did Bill's personalized license plate read?

Answer: D-FENS

At the end of the film, Douglas's character is credited as "D-FENS", not William Foster.

10. Which of the following phrases was NOT heard in the film?

Answer: "You stole my missiles"

"Not economically viable" was repeatedly yelled by a single protestor standing in front of a bank with a sign that read the same thing.

"Past the point of no return" is what Bill told Elizabeth after he killed Nick. He made it clear that he intended to kill her also.

"Get off my hole" was screamed by an angry golfer towards Bill, who then shot his golfcart. The old man slowly died of heart failure.

Bill worked as an rocket scientist. He said to Prendergast on the Venice pier: "Did you know I build missiles?" Nick says to Bill in the army/navy store: "You gonna take my rocket". I combined the two to make the other quote.
