Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is Karl (Billy Bob Thornton) doing when you first see him?

Answer: Looking out a window.

Karl is in a state mental hospital for killing his mother and her lover. He is quietly sitting by a window in a large room with other patients. One of the patients, who is a sexual psychopath, drags a chair across the floor to come over and talk to Karl. He tells Karl some gruesome stories about his criminal activities.

2. Two students come to interview Karl about his release. What are they not allowed to do?

Answer: Take his picture.

Karl was teased so much growing up and has such low self-esteem. He also doesn't want anyone to know who he is or what he did. Jerry Woolridge, the state hospital director, said that Karl wouldn't even let them take his picture for the Easter collage.

3. When Karl was growing up, where did he sleep most of the time?

Answer: In a hole in the ground, in a shed behind his parent's house.

His parents were poor and ignorant.They believed that Karl was not normal, therefore not worthy of being a regular member of the family. He was placed in a shed in the back of his house. The only place he had to sleep was in a hole in the ground with a quilt.

He was teased in school so much, that instead of going to school he just sat in the shed and tinkered with lawn mowers and small engines.

4. What did Karl's mother make for him for supper, three or four times a week?

Answer: Mustard and biscuits.

He waited for his mother to bring him some mustard and biscuits the night he killed her and her lover. He heard a noise and went up to the house to find his mother and get his supper. A man (Jesse Dixon) was on top of his mother, having his way with her. Jesse always teased Karl in school.

He picked up a kaiser or sling blade (used for cutting weeds) and hit Jesse on the head and killed him. His mother was upset. Carl guessed that his mother didn't mind Jesse being there, so Carl killed her too.

5. What does Karl call a kaiser blade?

Answer: a sling blade

Karl is very familiar with blades and knows how to sharpen them. When he talks about the story of killing his mother and Jesse, and his weapon of choice, he says, "Some people call it a kaiser blade. I call it a sling blade."

6. How long did it take Karl to read the Bible in the state hospital?

Answer: Four years

He didn't understand parts of The Bible, but it was admirable of him to try, especially with his impairments.

7. When the reporter ask, "Will you ever kill anybody again, Carl?" What was Karl's reply?

Answer: "I don't reckon' I got no reason to kill nobody."

Karl has been told that he has served his time and is being released, because the authorities do not believe that he is a threat to society.

8. Although Karl has more than three books in his possession, there are three he mentions the most. What are they?

Answer: "The Bible", a book about Christmas, and a book about carpentry.

Karl's book about Christmas is actually "A Christmas Carol". This is talked about later in the movie when Frank borrows it. The audience does not find out what the other books are. There looks to be 6-8.

9. Karl goes to the Frostee Creme. He decides on french fries. The server asks him if he wants a small or a large. What does Karl say?

Answer: "I'll have me some of the biggins.'"

Karl loves the french fries with mustard. When he is first talking to his new boss, Bill Cox and his assistant, Scooter, he tells Karl that they make a good double meat burger.

Answer: Frank, wash, 4

Frank and Karl immediately make a connection. Great chemistry between these two characters.

11. Where does Frank's mother Linda work?

Answer: Hootchie's Dollar Store

Linda's quick decision to invite Karl to live behind her house is so sudden, that I almost wished Karl would have stayed at the lawn mower repair shop.

12. What sport does Frank want Karl to play with him and his friends?

Answer: Football

Frank asks Karl to play football with him the first time they ever walk down the street together. He admits to Karl that he isn't any good, which immediately puts Karl at ease about his own ability.

13. After Karl walks Frank home while helping him carry the bags of laundry, where does he go next?

Answer: He goes back to the state hospital.

He doesn't know what to do. His father wouldn't take him in. He doesn't have any other family.

Answer: He is sitting on the edge of the bed, smoothing out the bed spread.

Karl didn't want to sleep in the bed, or disrupt the room in anyway. He only allowed himself to sit there. He has a lot of respect for Mr. Woolrich and I am sure had never seen a girl's bedroom before.

15. What is on special at the dollar store when Frank and Karl go there together for the first time?

Answer: Four cans of potted meat for $1.00.

The potted meat reminds Frank of something his deceased father used to say, that makes him happy.
