The Science of Sleep Trivia Quiz

Answer: cancer

In the title sequence we hear Stéphane talking to his father in a dream. When Stéphane realizes he is dreaming he says to his father, "I'm sorry Dad, but you're dead. You've lost the battle to cancer."

Answer: calendars

Stéphane is an artist and originally believes his job will involve doing something creative. He is clearly disappointed to find out that his position at the calendar company will involve cutting paper from the typesetting machine and pasting lines of text by hand onto the calendars.

Answer: hand

After Stéphane hurts himself, his neighbor, Stéphanie, and her friend, Zoe, invite him up and Zoe comically doctors Stéphane's hand with foot spray. Stéphane believes it is antiseptic.

Answer: False

Stéphane does not mention that he is Stéphanie's neighbor after he hears her make a rather negative comment about the landlady of their apartment building who just so happens to be his mother. Later, Stéphanie assumes Stéphane does not live in her building. Stéphane fails to correct her, and hilariously begins pretending he lives elsewhere.

Answer: True

Stéphane tells his co-worker, Guy, that he likes Zoe. He believes that Stéphanie is the one who likes him.

Answer: slipping a note under Stéphanie's door

While Stéphane is asleep during all of these happenings, in reality he actually sleep-delivers a note to Stéphanie and then wakes up embarrassed to find what he's done. Stéphane retrieves the note from under Stéphanie's door with a coat hanger, but not before she reads it.

Answer: Guy

Zoe dancing with Guy surprises Stéphane because he thinks Guy is an idiot and does not find it logical that a pretty girl like Zoe would want to dance with such a moron. He asks if Zoe is only dancing with Guy because she is drunk.

Answer: He is funny

In a sequence that is not clearly portrayed as either dream or reality, Stéphane shows his disapproval and annoyance at his mother's boyfriend, Gerard.

Answer: Kittens

Stéphane dreams that he is being interviewed by his co-worker, Martine, on his dreamed up television show and she tells him she's prepared a surprise--a song for him to perform for Stéphanie. Stéphane sings and plays the drums with paint brushes for his drumsticks, while Serge plays guitar, and Guy plays an upright double bass.

Answer: head

Stéphanie is actually waiting for Stéphane at the café while he is banging on her apartment door. While on his way to see her, Stéphane dreams up a sequence where he convinces himself that Stéphanie does not love him and that she is not waiting for him at the café. He irrationally runs back home and begins begging her to come out of her apartment.
