3.04: 'Light My Fire' Quiz | The L Word - Season 3

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. During a breakdown, Jenny decides to burn a copy of the novel she has recently submitted to the editors in New York. What is the name of this novel?

Answer: Some of Her Parts

Jenny is quite eccentric. Being tired of waiting, this 'picture of togetherness and sanity (as she defined herself)' starts to question her abilities as a writer and burns her 'manuscript' (I believe Jenny did not notice it was already typed).

2. What is the name of the place Jenny is going to work for as a waitress?

Answer: The Planet

Jenny tells Moira about her job while she is burning the novel. She seems excited about it. Being a waitress is not something new to Jenny, she previously had this job before leaving Los Angeles.

3. Dana attends an interview before playing the final at the 2006 Mercedes Benz Challenge. Who is interviewing Dana?

Answer: Billie Jean King

From the interview it can be inferred Dana stopped playing for a while soon after coming out as a lesbian. Dana tells Billie Jean King she is her hero, who paved the way for her.

4. Alice is having a dialogue about possible topics for 'The Chart' with her producer, who is trying to prevent her from mentioning Dana in the show. Which of these topics does Alice propose?

Answer: a piece on fashion

Alice's obsession is keeping her from thinking of anything else but Dana. In fact, Alice can't speak of anything but Dana in 'The Chart', since no one else is keeping her interest. During the conversation with the producer, Alice suggests speaking about 'the evolution of the little black dress'.

This topic would keep her from speaking about Dana because of her lack of fashion. She could also read a children's book: 'If you give the Pig a Pancake'. She better have something else to speak about, or she will get fired!

5. Julia Lourd hurt her back surfing and can't go to the Senate Congressional Hearing in Washington, DC.

Answer: True

Bette had to fly to Washington and testify on Julia's behalf in order to defend their right to receive funds from the NEA grant. Tina is not very happy about the decision, but it doesn't seem she'll be missing Bette. Well, at least she didn't tell her she would, despite Bette asked it twice.

In fact, I don't really blame Tina, since Bette has been quite annoying with the 'yada yada' during the third season.

6. During the Senate Hearing, Bette meets the Senator for Massachusetts, who happens to be a lesbian in the closet. What is the name of the Senator?

Answer: Barbara Grisham

Tina had heard rumors about Sen. Grisham's sexual preference. This is later confirmed when Grisham takes Bette to her home and tries to seduce her. Barbara Grisham is portrayed by Dana Delany. Delany has also been in the movie 'Live Nude Girls' (1995).

7. Several scenes of people watching Dana's match at the 2006 Mercedes Benz Challenge final are seen. Which of the following persons is not shown watching the match?

Answer: Bette

Sharon and Lara are in the public at the tournament (apparently Dana's father was not able to attend). Shane, Carmen, and Alice end up watching the competition at the skater boys' shop; Helena and Tina are seeing the match at their office. Thus, of the people mentioned in the question, the only one not watching the show is Bette, who happened to be flying to Washington for the NEA Hearing.

8. During the hearing, Bette ends up confronting the conservative Senator Sidlock, who burned a small print of one of the pieces to be presented in Bette's exhibit.

Answer: False

Bette does enter a confrontation, but it is with Senator Horsey. According to Bette, Sen. Horsey is just 'the new reigning-vigilante- self-appointed cultural watchdog of the moment, devoting countless hours and invidious resources to the bogus mission of stifling creative expression in the name of patriotism' (Ouch). Anyway, Bette's speech got her an admirer.

9. It's time for Alice to broadcast 'The Chart', but she couldn't come up with anything to say that wouldn't bring up Dana. What did Alice end up speaking about during the program?

Answer: The President's private parts

Alice went blank during the broadcast and misunderstood the signals her producer was making. She ended up speaking the American right to know about President Bush's penis. And she got herself in trouble.

10. Carmen was not able to make it to Shane's opening.

Answer: False

Carmen arranges it to bring Russell Simmons (who hired her to play for a party) to Shane's grand opening. At least someone in the group has her priorities straight!
