Crichtonisms, Season 2 Trivia Quiz

Answer: Rock, Paper, Scissors

We see in the episode, "Mind the Baby", that D'Argo has a little trouble understanding the rules. John: "Again? One, two, three." [John has paper, D'Argo has rock] D'Argo: "Ha, again I win." John: "No, I win. Paper wraps rock." D'Argo: "Paper cannot possibly beat rock." John: "It does, paper beats rock." D'Argo: "Rock rips through paper." John: "D'Argo, that's not how it works. Paper beats rock." D'Argo: "That is unrealistic." John: "That's the rules, and it's not supposed to be realistic.

It's supposed to be entertaining." D'Argo: "My coma was more entertaining." Johng: "It's a kids' game."

Answer: Porsche

In "Mind the Baby", Chiana tells Crichton: "I want to travel deeper into the Uncharted Territories, to re-examine my path." He replies: "You wanna have a mid-life crisis? Fine, just ditch the firm, head off to Maui, shack up with the supermodel, but you do not get to keep the Porshe."

Answer: bungee jumping

'Taking the stone' involves jumping into a deep hole in the ground and hoping that the sound waves you produce while falling are the right frequency to stop your fall. Crichton: "Yes, and somebody has to do the bungee without the rope, except this time it's our friend jumping."

Answer: wood

Crichton: "You know, I once bought a set of knives from this guy on TV. Cat swore to me that-that they could-they could cut through bone, metal, shoes...hell, he could cut through my damn car and still dice tomatoes. You know what? He was lying." T'Raltixx: "I don't understand."

Answer: Watch football

Pilot: "How do humans make it through a cycle, even a half cycle without killing each other?." Crichton: "We find it difficult. Have you run the scan yet?" Pilot: "You have no special abilities, you're not particularly smart, can hardly smell, can barely see, and you're not even vaguely physically or spiritually imposing. Is there anything you do well?" Crichton: "Watch football. Have you run the scan?" Pilot: "Nobody trusts you Crichton, you know that? Sometimes they pity you because of your incompet-" Crichton: "Mama always said, if you want something done, you've gotta do it yourself." ... Later ...Crichton: "I got great eyes, they're better than 20/20 and they're blue!" ... Even Later ...Crichton: "Humans are superior!"

Answer: Dryers

John: "Is that what this is all about? Is that it?...Okay. Where's my ice cream?" Aeryn: "What?" John: "Where's my ice cream?" Rygel: "Savage, I know almost every food in the galaxy..." John: "Where's my [...] ice cream?!" Rygel: "I have no idea what 'eyes-green' IS." John: "Is that it, Sparky? Gonna take the road well-traveled? Gonna play dumb? [Singing] I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! Baskin Robbins, Ben & Jerry's, Good Humor. What's your favorite...creamsicle or fudgesicle?"

Answer: "The Wizard of Oz"

"Crackers Don't Matter" is just about my favorite episode, and unfortunately I can't use everything in this quiz, so here are a few highlights -- John: "Gilligan and Mary Ann. Maybe you're Ginger...I'd have to, uh, see you in a Wonderbra to know. Where you takin' the Minnow?" -- John[From off-camera]: "Here's Johnny!" [Pokes his head in the door opening] "Hiya, honey!" -- John: "Woo! Ha! Have I got your attention NOW? Good. So, class. Today's assignment is...what? What? What? A brand new car! [John turns around the bay door a la The Price Is Right, where "T'RALTIXX" is written in what looks like chalk] No! It's T'raltixx! T plus R-A-L-T-I double X. T'raltixx. Since he came on board, we've been fighting about everything, including these. [Fires at another pile of crackers] Now, I've been acting twisted, as well. Still am. Being seeing Scorpius like he's guest-starring on Hawaii Five-0. Huh...how crazy is THAT? But...I realized something. Frigging nuts I am, it's the pulsars affecting ME."

Answer: Sound of Music

Maldis: "Have you forgotten? Fear makes me stronger. Fear and the terror of helplessness. These are a few of my favorite things." John: "Oh, could you do that 'Farewell Good-bye" song the kids sing? It's one of my favorites." Maldis: "I don't do requests!"

Answer: "Picture if You Will"

Maldis: "Picture if you will....me standing on your home planet..." The narrator of "The Twilight Zone" always opened the episode by saying "picture if you will..."

Answer: Etch-A-Sketch

Aeryn: "I have to talk to him (Pilot)." Crichton: "Aeryn. No, no, no, no. Pilot's Etch-A-Sketch isn't operating with all it's knobs right now. I'm afraid seeing you won't help." D'Argo: "Besides, he's locked himself inside his chamber, and the DRD's have taken up defensive positions. He must have used voice command."

Answer: Dominos

Crichton: "Hey Blue! Delivery. It's not exactly Dominos, but it got here in less than 30 minutes."

Answer: 6

1) Jack: "Hey, how you feeling? John: "Hot. Dizzy. Kinda...feel like I been hit by a house."
2) John: "The Ancients? Nah, they picked my brain already. Maldis? Uh uh. Not Gothic enough. Not his style. Delvians. Mm...yeah, Occams Razor...Taleen and her wacky bunch. [in an 'over the rainbow munchkin' voice] Come out, come out, wherever you are, and see the young man who fell from a star."
3) John: "Scorpy. You don't fit the pattern. You got no Halloween costume, got no assumed name, you're not playing a role. That suggests something to me. That suggests that you are the man behind the curtain!"
4) John: "I reenact my initial mission. I show you how I create the giant blue twister that sucks me down to Oz!"
5) Crais walks into the hospital room in a police uniform holding a dog that he calls "Toto".
6) While Crichton is on the run, Crais pulls up in a squad car wearing red high heeled pumps a la Dorothy.

Answer: Harvey

From "Won't Get Fooled Again", John: "You're Harvey? Or is it Clarence?...Guardian Angel?...Invisible Rabbit...[his head bobs back and forth as he tries to decide]...Harvey...? [inhales sharply/decisively] Harvey." Harvey and Clarence are both from Jimmy Stewart movies...Harvey is the pooka from "Harvey" and Clarence is the guardian angel from "It's a Wonderful Life".

Answer: "Liars, Guns and Money, Part 1"

John: "Oh, say can you see...!" Scorpius: "I command you...to help me." John: "By the dawn's early light...!" Scorpius: "John Crichton...I command you...to help me!" John: "What so proudly we hail...at the twilight's last gleaming!" John: [distant] "Whose broad stripes and bright stars...[fading into the background] through the perilous night!"

Answer: "Young Frankenstein"

John [to Scorpius]" :All right, Fronkensteen, let's get it on, get your property out of my head." In "Young Frankenstein", Gene Wilder plays the grandson of the original Dr. Frankenstein and demands his name be pronounced Fronkensteen. -- Later -- John: "It's kinda hard not to flinch here, Scorpy, with Frau Blucher ticklin' my prostate." Frau Blucher is the creepy housekeeper in the movie.
