Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. I had a seat in the waiting room and was not remotely glad to be there. For a part-time job at a shoe store I had to pee into a cup? The owner said that "he couldn't be too careful". Easy statement for him to make! I had my number clutched tightly and it looked like I'd be waiting for a while. The nurse at the desk, a scary looking thing indeed, smiled at me. Wait a minute! That's no lady nurse! That's a dude! Now I'm wondering: in which of these films did a tender female nurse somehow become a killer psychotic [and chillingly male] 'angel of mercy' without a hint of remorse as it happened? It would be handy to know this information just in case a similar unthinkable drama unfolded in my predicament...
2. A rather pleasant young lady comes in and sat beside me, appearing extremely nervous. I thought nothing about that, though, since this was a rather nerve wracking environment which ultimately ended in rather humiliating results. Yes, we all know about bodily functions, but it's still a bit unsettling to make them public domain. I contemplated calming this jumpy girl next to me but she seemed to be doing fine on her own. At least I think she was on her own. One minute she's mumbling French, the next carrying on like a peeved little boy and then soon she's just a mousy little sweetheart who has an eye for art again. It would seem to me that no sample is necessary for this one. She must be on drugs or, if not that, is besieged by more than enough personalities to sufficiently fill a lifeboat. That odd nurse called her Sybil. I think she had a last name (well, maybe more than one). What was the "real" Sybil's last name, at least as far as the movie was concerned?
3. The next customer who plopped down, while not talking to himself, looked as if he could use a serious conversation with someone, that's for sure. A rather glassy-eyed look on this one and he had a pair of scissors in his shirt pocket (which is not an encouraging sight, rest assured). Then I recognized him. A film editor, I vaguely recalled, and a madder movie technician is difficult to fathom. His name was Mr. Swenson and I was sure they'd find no illegal substances in his system. He's entirely crazy enough without help. What film is he from?
4. I rather liked the next person to sit to my right. His name was Tom Witzky and he was a nice, down-to-Earth fellow - and we shared a common question, too. Why did we have to travel into one of California's most elite neighborhoods to prove that we were drug-free? We never did figure that part out but, as the conversation flowed, he told me that his wife had insisted he come here after he had taken a jackhammer to the basement floor in their house. OK, that did sound a little odd. The ghosts and suddenly ice cold rooms and digging up the backyard details didn't sound so normal, either. But, still, I liked this guy. He seemed harmless enough... but I might have felt otherwise had he been toting a jackhammer, I reckon. What movie did this Tom step out of?
5. A doctor appears and seemed to be having a chat with that frightful nurse. I shuddered, for some reason, to realize that it was a female doctor (which usually didn't bother me except in matters such as the one at hand). I shuddered more when she looked out into the waiting room and our eyes met ~ surely a more demented pair of peepers have never headlined a nose. Her hair was fiery red, her eyes icy blue and a rather discouraging leer decorated her face. Then I recognized her! It was Dr. Kimberley Shaw Mancini and underneath that wig of hers laid a huge and hideous scar from the surgical gashing(s) of brain surgery. It was a lobotomy, if I recall right, and all I know is that I wanted another medic immediately, thank you very much! On which 1990s television show was Dr. Mancini generally up to all sorts of no-good sneakiness?
6. My next com-padre in the rather bustling waiting room was another man who just seemed nice. He looked noticeably world-weary, though, as if he'd seen all there is to see on this planet and the worst part(s) of every square inch of it. He just had a face you could read into that way. He introduced himself as Billy Hayes and explained that he had to be checked for drugs as a term of his parole (and I'm here to tell you up front, this was more information that I dared to ask for or needed to know). Once he'd finally returned to America from abroad he had straightened his life out, stopped using and was willing to do anything required to stay on his home soil. Shucks, just when he was getting me interested in his story they called his number. Who was Billy Hayes? Where had he been overseas? Did he say something about turkeys? What movie was the real-life Mr. Hayes immortalized in?
7. My number should be called in minutes so I was paying close attention when a very nicely dressed young woman had a seat beside mine. Talkative one, I thought, as she quickly announced herself as Althea Leasure (apparently she thought it hugely important to use her birth name so I didn't comment). Miss Leasure was here soon after she'd completed yet another stint in a rehabilitation center and, in order to not return there, she had to prove her drug-free status. Once again I kept my mouth shut but, really, to have a look at her red eyes and somewhat drawn face my guess is that she'd juggled a crack pipe within the last hour! Not the judgmental sort I let her go on about telling me of her infamous spouse/partner, her innocent genesis towards addiction to pain killers, that she was a stripper once and even that her childhood was, to say the least, rocky. They even made a movie about part(s) of her life at one time. What movie had a version of this chatty Althea in it? (Hint: she couldn't have really been next to me since she was quite completely deceased.)
8. What, pray tell, was this next customer doing in my midst? A bonus dose of both blondness and largeness in her hair, an excessive amount of (let's just say) silicon in her upper frame, an odd looking dog on her lap and a vacant stare on her face that just had to alert the onlooker to the lack of mass behind it. Some of the men in the clinic were staring, much like a teen-aged boy might gawk at a Playboy magazine. Oh, OK, then I knew who she was! It's Anna Nicole Smith, once named 'Playmate Of The Year', then relegated to hawking clothes in magazines, then marrying rich men some 4+ times her age, then doubling in size and finally getting her own reality TV show. Personally, I never saw the smallest fascination in watching this hefty has-been cavort about as if she was still, if ever, important but people watched it nonetheless. Listened to her make no sense. Waited for her to fall over sideways (she always appeared to intoxicated with something, whether she was or not - she must have been at the clinic to verify that, one way or the other). I will say she looked better now after the weight loss and all that. At any rate, Ms. Smith has actually done a few movies and, to date, has never received an Oscar nomination. Imagine that? Which of the following is NOT a feature film in which Anna Nicole Smith showed up?
9. Yikes! I was almost ready for my doctor when not one but a whole group of people came waltzing into the waiting room, all bearing cups, all ready to turn in their urine samples. They're all from the same television show, too, vintage a program as it may be. I thought they'd all gotten clean and sober these days but, like my future boss at the shoe store said, "One can never know for sure". My question to you, however, is which family show were these people from (considering that its cast of regular characters produced the most real-life alcoholics or drug addicted actors [of these listed] as time went on)?
10. Finally my number was called and into the doctor's office I go, entirely eager just to get this over with. The physician, a silver haired jovial looking chap, welcomed me and nodded toward the bathroom door. But, to my complete dismay, he then picked up (and put on) a leather jacket and pulled a drill out of the left pocket. I wasted no time, my specimen jar and I, getting to the restroom in a hurry. Above the whirl of the ominous drill I heard him singing:
"I am your dentist,
and I enjoy the career that I picked. (Love it)
I'm your dentist, and I get off on the pain I exert. (Really Love it)
I thrill when I drill a bicuspid, (Bicuspid)
and swell when they tell me I'm mal-adjusted. (dentist)
And though it may cause my patients to stress. (To Stress)
Somewhere, somewhere in heaven above me, I know, I know that my mamas proud of me.
(Spoken) "Oh mama!"
Cause I'm a dentist, and a success..."
Holy novocaine! And they're testing ME for drugs? This dentist, obviously in the wrong building, is from what film?
