The Aviator Multiple Choice Quiz | 10 Questions

Answer: Lyme disease

This happens when Howard is getting a bath in the opening scene. His mother is paranoid about all the diseases in Houston, which helps to stimulate Howard's OCD and is the reason he refuses to return to Houston to run his company. During this scene, Howard is asked to spell "quarantine", which he does, and then spells the word various times throughout the movie during his breakdown.

He also actually quarantines himself in a theater after his meeting with Senator Brewster.

Answer: UCLA

Howard hires the meteoroligist to help him find clouds because he realizes that the planes in his movie, "Hell's Angels" look too slow without something standing still behind them. The meteorologist eventually finds clouds in Oakland, where they shoot the climax of the picture. Howard later claims that the meteorlogist "is in fact a mathemetician of some note" so his movie "The Outlaw" will be accepted by the film board.

Answer: War Postponed No Clouds

The filming of "Hell's Angles" is postponed because they need clouds to shoot the climax of the movie. Howard has a meteorologist working diligently to find him clouds, but he is losing a lot of movie time and hasn't done much for eight months. Noah is coming to tell him that he's losing way too much money and he should stop the production altogether.

Answer: Ibsen

Howard and Katherine are playing golf. This is right after Howard misses the green on his stroke. He and Miss Hepburn are talking about his movies, and she asks if he likes the theater. When he replies negatively, she says she'll take him to see a play by Ibsen, "If the Republicans haven't outlawed him by now."

Answer: False

The dog is in fact a Black Labrador, and he jumps on Howard when they arrive at the Hepburn Estate, as well as chews on his feet during lunch. Howard's grunts of distaste cause Katharine's mother to believe that he doesn't like Roosevelt, and she asks him to leave the table.

When he explains the dog is chewing his foot, it prompts a loud discussion over whether or not he was attacked by a dog as a little boy.

Answer: False

Katharine leaves Howard for Spencer Tracy, another actor. She realizes that she and Howard are too much alike, and breaks off their engagement. Howard burns all of his clothes, and his OCD problems become more serious because she leaves him.

Answer: Sears

After Kate leaves him, Howard burns every article of clothing that he owns. He calls Noah in the middle of the night and asks him to buy him light and dark suits. Howard can't make up his mind between Penny's or Woolworths and eventually says Penny's. When he asks Noah which store he decided on, Noah responds with Penny's and Howard says to make it Sears instead.

Answer: Fly troops, machines, and other army equipment across the ocean

Howard begins to build the Hercules for the army, which is funding him. However, his constant breakdowns and crashing of the spy plane cause them to withdraw their funding. By the time Howard wakes up from his near fatal plane crash, the war is over and they don't need the Hercules. Howard decides to build the plane anyway, and nearly bankrupts himself.

Answer: Paris

TWA is starting flights to Europe, and Howard says he'll be piloting the first one. He asks her if she'd like to go to Paris, and says he'll buy her anything she wants. She says he can buy her dinner. She says this earlier in the movie as well, and when they go out for dinner, one of Howard's other girlfriends smashes her car into theirs repeatedly out of jealousy.

Answer: False

Howard is saying "the way of the future". This onset begins because of two men at the after-party of the flight of the Hercules who keep looking at him suspiciously. He keeps repeating "the way of the future" because he has been talking with Odie and Noah about jet engines and how they are "the way of the future".

He spells "quarantine" earlier in the movie in his car, as well as at the beginning when he is in the bathtub.
