Answer: Pete

This was a perfect part for him. He always seemed to be in his own world and saw things through this world only.

4. What does Everett put in his hair?

Answer: Dapper Dan

It has to be Dapper Dan or nothing at all and the hair net was a nice touch.

Answer: Boy Hogwallop

Delmar is so glad to be saved and such a contrast to the Atheist that Everett is. Pete doesn't say much about it.

Answer: $10.00

Their song, "I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow" becomes a hit and they didn't even know it!

An evil Bible salesman and thief, parodying the cyclops from "The Odyssey" is brilliant and frightening.

I love the "neighborhood" reference.

Answer: In the woods being beaten with a whip.

The audience learns that Pete isn't a horny toad or dead after all as he is being beaten to reveal where his friends are. Delmar first sees him in a chain gang on the side of the road.

15. When Everett and Delmar see Pete in the theatre, what does Pete say to them?

Answer: "Do not seek the treasure!"

There is no treasure. Everett never held up an armored truck. He was practicing law without a license and busted out of jail because he had to stop his wife from marrying someone else.
