Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. When we first see Emile Hirsch's character, Matthew Kidman, what is he having trouble doing?

Answer: Thinking of his entry for the high school yearbook

The movie starts with a montage of seniors reminiscing on their high school journeys, and completing their yearbook quotes which all begin "I will always remember". Having experienced a mainly academic high school journey, Matthew is struggling to pen some interesting words for his yearbook memory.

2. What is the name of the high school that Matthew and his friends attend?

Answer: Westport

We see the name of the high school numerous times throughout the movie, and especially in the first few minutes during the senior high school memories montage, and in the school gymnasium.

3. What is Matthew doing when he notices a light blue car parked outside the house next door?

Answer: Taking out the trash

Later that evening, as Matthew is taking out the trash, he sees a beautiful girl getting some items from the light blue car. Clearly entranced by the girl's beauty, Matthew proceeds to walk into the trashcan, causing the girl to enjoy a subtle smirk before going into the house next door.

Answer: A tyre

Just before she came to introduce herself, Danielle caught Matthew watching her undress, so she decides to even the score, and demands that he gets out of the car and strips, including his underwear. Danielle drives off, grabbing Matthew's underwear, thereby forcing him to find something to "wear" to cover his modesty, the thing he finds being a large tyre!

5. Do Matthew and Danielle share a kiss after their first meeting, as Danielle drops Matthew home?

Answer: No

Clearly still somewhat overwhelmed by Danielle's beauty and confidence, Matthew politely thanks Danielle for the ride, says "goodnight", then proceeds to try to exit the car without having undone his seatbelt. His awkwardness is seemingly endearing to Danielle, and she tries to stop herself laughing at what has just happened.

As we cut to the following day, Matthew's friend Eli is not quite so understanding, and he berates his friend for just saying "goodnight" and not doing anything more, causing Matthew to regret his inaction and say "Damn, should've kissed her".

Answer: The high school principal

We saw the high school principal, Mr Salinger, at the start of the movie trying to maintain control of a somewhat rowdy set of seniors getting excited about the forthcoming prom. Luckily for Matthew, he and Danielle manage to get out of Mr Salinger's back yard before he can recognise Matthew.

Answer: Engages in a passionate kiss with Danielle.

Matthew's out-of-character actions are clearly appreciated by Eli and Klitz, who exchange the brief, yet all-encapsulating words "Dude" ... "I know", and we see a clearly dejected Hunter skulking off in the background.

8. How does Matthew find out that Danielle is actually a porn star?

Answer: Eli shows him a video tape

The morning after the party, Eli grabs Matthew in the school corridor and takes him to the multimedia room where he shows him a video of Danielle as the star of a porn movie which appears to have a martial arts training course as its "storyline".

Answer: Bourbon

Following Eli's advice to "act like you don't even like her", Matthew nonchalantly produces a bottle of Jim Beam from behind the passenger seat, to which Danielle replies, "Bourbon. Are you trying to get me drunk?" Matthew's clearly out-of-character response of "No, what? I thought you liked to rock" causes Danielle to respond with a bemused "Like to rock?"

Answer: Timothy Olyphant

Timothy Olyphant was born on 20th May 1968 in Honolulu, Hawaii, and has also appeared in movies such as "Gone in Sixty Seconds", "Live Free or Die Hard", and "The Crazies". Chris Marquette and Paul Dano both appear in "The Girl Next Door" as Eli and Klitz respectively. Although definitely handsome and masculine, Josh Duhamel does not appear in the movie at all.
