Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is the occupation stated on Frank Bannister's business card?

Answer: Psychic Investigator

He arrives at the troubled home and pretends to investigate the phenomena his business partners have created. He announces that it could be the worst case he has ever seen. After operating a strange machine, he presents his clients with a small bag which ostensibly contains the mischievous ghosts.

2. How does Frank Bannister sometimes drive?

Answer: Recklessly

His reckless driving appears to result from driving too fast. He seems unable to reach some places soon enough. You see him drive at reasonable speed as he leaves the cemetery and as he arrives at his house, so he is capable of safe driving.

3. Frank Bannister's ambitions include what?

Answer: He intends to finish construction of his house.

After providing his paranormal services to the Lynskey's, Frank Bannister returns to his home, a partially constructed house. There, the Judge, one of his business partners, persuades him to quit his business of purging ghosts. He responds by saying that he has to finish his house.

He never reveals his reason for this. Maybe the purpose is to honor his deceased wife who might have dreamed of seeing the house finished. At the end of the movie you see the unfinished house being demolished.

4. What does Ray Lynskey do in Excaliburs Restaurant, where Frank Bannister is sitting with Lucy Lynskey?

Answer: He knocks over a glass of wine, spilling it on Frank Bannister.

In Excaliburs Restaurant, Ray Lynskey does this when Frank Bannister rests his hand on Lucy Lynskey's hand. He then warns Frank Bannister that he can move things and that the matter isn't over. Apparently, he remains loyal to his wife after his death.

5. What are the names of two of Frank Bannister's business partners?

Answer: Cyrus and Stuart

Cyrus died in 1975 and must wear the fashion of that time as long as he is a ghost on Earth. Stuart's time of death is more difficult to place. They are a mismatched pair with few similarities, except that both are ghosts who work for Frank Bannister.

6. Near the beginning of the movie, Ray Lynskey expresses outrage when he sees the damage done to his lawn and picket fence. What else suffers damage?

Answer: Lawn gnome

Frank Bannister runs over the lawn gnome as he reverses his Volvo out of the Lynskey's yard. Later when Lucy Lynskey phones him and asks him to handle the paranormal activity in the Lynskey home, he drives through the fence again and runs over more lawn gnomes. Afterward, he strikes a deal with the Lynskeys to settle his debt to them by purging their home of mischievous ghosts.

7. What does Milton Dammers do when Lucy Lynskey yells at him?

Answer: He flees the room and vomits.

When Sheriff Perry accosts him and tries to help, he protests, saying that the sheriff is violating his territorial bubble. You have to wonder whether he suffers this reaction to women yelling at him when he is a ghost, especially considering the result of Stuart's earlier motion sickness.

8. Where are ghosts usually confined?

Answer: The cemetery

Some ghosts escape the cemetery, as Frank Bannister informs the Lynskey's while he examines their home for signs of paranormal presence. Frank Bannister evidently knows how to send them back since later he threatens to do so to Cyrus and Stuart.

9. How did Ray Lynskey lose the $16,000 that his wife had saved?

Answer: He spent it on a bad investment.

He must not have told his wife about his losing the money; Frank Bannister informs her against his wishes. This occurs in the restaurant where Frank Bannister has met with Lucy Lysnkey and is joined by an ephemeral Ray Lysnkey.

10. What is Milton Dammers' occupation?

Answer: FBI Agent

Having worked undercover in cults and sects, FBI agent Milton Dammers specializes in the unusual. He tells Lucy Lynskey that he "gets all the fruity cases".
