"The Holiday" Part III Trivia Quiz

Answer: film composer

Miles, marvelously portrayed by Jack Black, is a film composer and works with Ethan, Amanda's ex-live-in boyfriend. He meets Iris when he comes to the house to pick up Ethan's laptop.

Answer: Iris' dog

Charlie is Iris' small house dog, left behind in England. It is assumed that Amanda has had advance notice that she will be taking care of the dog, because she doesn't seem at all surprised or irritated by him. The only time we hear his name mentioned is in the scene where Amanda calls Iris in L.A. She tells Iris she is out walking Charlie.

Answer: Hanukkah party

Iris doesn't allow Miles in the first time he comes, since she doesn't know him. After she clears it with Amanda's assistant, he comes back, only to find Iris entertaining Arthur (Eli Wallach) and three of his friends in the kitchen. She says that somehow it turned into a Hanukkah party! Miles joins the party and fits in beautifully.

Answer: Video store

Yes, they spend Christmas Eve in a video store! Not my idea of the ideal place to be on the most magical night of the year, but it worked for them! Actually, Miles, being in the movie industry, has taken a great interest in the old movies that Arthur has recommended to Iris. Even though we don't see them renting any videos, they were probably there for that purpose. (Dustin Hoffman is also in the video store!)

Answer: Star Wars

They play this little game in the video store on Christmas Eve. Not much of a game, really, even though Miles calls it that. He merely picks up a video, asks her if she's seen it, and begins singing, humming, or otherwise vocally interpreting the theme song.

He's passionate about these songs and quite amusing as he goes through the scene, asking (loudly, in song!) if Iris is embarrassed by his little game. Other movies that he picks up are "Gone With the Wind", "The Graduate" and "The Mission".

Answer: Lindsay Lohan and James Franco

Amanda's company has just finished a trailer for a movie called "Deception", due to open on Christmas Day. Lohan and Franco actually appear in the trailer.

Answer: She says she's on location.

Maggie says she's on location, but Miles sees her with another man on Christmas Eve night. Seems she has lied to him and has been back for several days...with the other man.

Answer: a theme song

Miles writes a theme for Arthur that will play as he is walking up the stage at his tribute. He also writes a theme for Iris, telling her that he "used only the good notes."

Answer: Her Barbie

Graham's daughters, Sophie and Olivia are absolutely delighted to have an adult female visitor in the house, and instruct their father to do first one thing, then another for Amanda. Sophie tells Graham to take Amanda's coat, and when he does, the girls see that Amanda is beautifully dressed. Olivia is so awed, she makes the comment that Amanda looks just like her Barbie.

It is, of course, intended to be the supreme compliment.

Answer: a cow

In the scene at Graham's house, after the girls have gone to bed, Graham is trying to explain why he hasn't mentioned his family to Amanda. He tells her they are so very different, that he is "Daddy" and, as much as he loves his girls, he simply has to get away from it all sometimes.

He asks her if she can relate to someone who has a cow in the backyard. "I sew and I have a cow," he says.
