Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. At the beginning of the movie, Felix Ungar (Jack Lemmon) attempts suicide after the break-up with his wife. Which of the following methods do we see him attempt?

Answer: Jump from a building

He tried (and failed) to open the window to his hotel room; the window was shut so tight, he threw out his back! Next, he tried something a little more sensible: drink his troubles away at a go-go bar. But when he knocked back a shot of scotch, he hurt his neck! Later, we learn he had taken sleeping pills, but he threw them up.

2. When we first see Oscar's apartment, a poker game is in progress. Where's Oscar?

Answer: In the kitchen

It's a hot summer night and its even hotter in Oscar's apartment, because the air conditioner is broken. It appears that Oscar is hosting poker night because he needs to get rid of the food in his refrigerator (It's broken, too). So, he's making green sandwiches and brown sandwiches in the kitchen. Since the green sandwiches have "either very new cheese or very old meat," it's better to pick the brown! By the way, did you notice that Vinnie (John Fiedler), who is winning the game, rifled through his cards in full view of the camera (and the other players) when the new hand was dealt? He had (in order of cards shown) Queen of Diamonds, Ten of Hearts, Four of Hearts, Nine of Clubs, and Queen of Clubs.

In other words, he had a pair of Queens.

He then said he wanted no cards on the redraw, and his hand was supposed to be a straight!

3. What is Oscar's son's name?

Answer: Bruce

Oscar's ex-wife, Blanche, had taken their kids to California (The movie is set in New York City). During the poker game, Oscar (Walter Matthau) answers the phone, and he is trying to figure out who called: "Dabby? Dabby, who?...No, there's no Dabby here...Oh, Daddy!" (To his friends) "For cryin' out loud, it's my kid!" (Back on the phone) "Brucey! How are ya, baby?"

Answer: Oscar's ice cream hits it

Oscar is the culprit! He was using his chocolate ice cream cone to make a point about how unique a person Felix is, and he ended up flinging the ice cream onto Felix's coat!

5. What does "F.U." mean?

Answer: Felix Ungar

Oscar: "You keep leaving me little notes on my pillow. Told you 158 times I can't stand little notes on my pillow! 'We're all out of corn flakes - F.U.' Took me three hours to figure out F.U. was Felix Ungar!"

6. What was the last name of the English sisters from upstairs?

Answer: Pigeon

Their names were Cecily and Gwendolyn (or is it Gwendolyn and Cecily?) Pigeon. Anyway, one is divorced and, technically, the other is a widow; the divorce was in progress when her husband died.

7. When Oscar throws Felix's food into the kitchen, what was on the plate?

Answer: Linguini

OSCAR: "Now would you mind getting that spaghetti off my poker table?"
(Felix chuckles)
OSCAR: "What's so funny?"
FELIX: "It's not spaghetti, it's linguini."
(Oscar picks up the plate and throws it into the kitchen)
OSCAR: "Now it's garbage."

8. Oscar is a sports reporter whose beat is Shea Stadium. When Felix calls him at work, what rare baseball event does Oscar miss while he's on the phone?

Answer: A triple play

The game was Mets vs. Pirates and the bases were loaded with nobody out in the top of the ninth inning. When Bill Mazeroski stepped up to the plate, a fellow sports writer commented that the game was over, to which Oscar said he could always hit into a triple play. Then Felix called and, sure enough, Maz hit into a triple play!

9. When Oscar kicks Felix out of the apartment, what does Felix say?

Answer: "Let it be on your head!"

Oscar called it "The Curse of the Cat People."

10. When Felix does move out, where does he go?

Answer: He moves in with the sisters upstairs

The Pigeon sisters take him in "for a couple of days."
