Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. "There are certain skills best acquired in public bars, ________."

Answer: I suppose

Andrew has challenged Milo to find the room's hidden safe. Milo finds it behind a dartboard and opens it by hitting the center with a dart.

2. "Remember... to tell them... it was only a _______ game."

Answer: bloody

These are Milo's last words before he dies on the floor, clutching the controls to Andrew's games tightly in his hands. Andrew stands in the center of the room, in shock, as his various games and mechanical toys in the room start moving and making noise, and the police are pounding on his door.

3. "Why don't I just keep ______ you lightly on the head with the poker until a lump comes up?"

Answer: tapping

Andrew wants a convincing lump on his head to substantiate his story that he had a fight with the burglar. Milo wants to use the poker, but Andrew gets nervous and keeps insisting that he only wants a small lump, and Milo shouldn't hit him too hard, at which point Milo delivers this sarcastic line.

Answer: You probably don't understand that

After Milo plays a very realistic practical joke game with Andrew, Andrew comments that he and Milo are very much the same: both game-players. However, Milo tries to explain that he is not a game-player, he just wanted revenge.

Answer: attempt this dignity

Andrew has just announced that he intends to kill Milo. Milo has pleaded for his life, all to no avail, and is now on his knees before Andrew, who makes this very cold-hearted remark.

6. "So I understand you wish to marry my _____."

Answer: wife

Andrew invites Milo over to his house, and after a drink or two, he suddenly announces this. Milo admits it's true, he has been having an affair with Andrew's wife, Marguerite.

7. "Whatever are you doing with that _____ in your hand, my dear boy?"

Answer: cue

Andrew and Milo go down and play some pool. Milo picks up a cue and waits for his turn, however, Andrew gets every single ball he calls. At the end of the game he asks Milo the above question, to which Milo replies, "I was waiting for you to miss."

8. "Over the years my eyes have been _______ trained to see things for themselves, sir."

Answer: adequately

Andrew mentions to Inspector Doppler several things that should prove his innocence, and eagerly offers to point them out to him. Inspector Doppler replies with this.

9. "Not to appear _______, sir, but you had better tell that to a judge."

Answer: facetious

Andrew is panicked about the fact that he seems to be being accused of a murder he didn't commit, and frantically continues to proclaim himself innocent, to which Inspector Doppler utters the above quote.

10. "And now she's in love with me. And you can't ______ that."

Answer: forgive

Milo says this to Andrew as a sort of a last dig, just moments before Andrew shoots him. Except, as we find out later, it was really a blank cartridge and Milo just fainted.
