Rebecca Gilman's "Boy Gets Girl" II Quiz

Answer: true

Beck was warning Theresa that she'd been unable to locate Tony, as he'd moved out of his apartment. She also told Theresa that Tony had been fired from his job two months ago for stalking a woman. She'd been a coworker and had had to relocate. Beck suggested that Theresa may just have been a substitute fixation when Tony could no longer access the other woman.

Answer: underwear

She hadn't gone home in a few days and didn't have a change of clothes. Though she turned down Harriet's invite to a free makeover at the Saks cosmetics counter, Theresa asked Harriet to pick up some cotton underwear for her.

Answer: colon

He'd been pretty ill and the doctors finally removed the colon. Theresa went to visit him because she felt guilty, but as it turned out her article had helped Lee's career immensely and he was quite grateful toward her. He asked her to stay and assured her he wouldn't be offensive, that that was in fact an act he put on for the press as part of his professional persona.

Theresa agreed and they watched "Jeopardy!" together.

Answer: False

Howard had noticed a guy following him around since the previous day. When he saw him again at a reception at the "Post", he approached the man and asked if they knew each other, but the man said they didn't. When Howard got ready to leave the reception and noticed the man following him out, he ran out the side door and down the alley.

He saw the man following him and, panicked, tripped while trying to catch a cab. When he got back to the office, Howard looked at the photo of Tony the police had left and confirmed that it was Tony who had been following him. Though Howard fell when running away from Tony, Tony didn't directly cause the fall or the scraped knee.

Answer: true

After Howard had been chased by Tony, Harriet confessed to Theresa that she'd been talking to Tony on the phone up until a week prior and had told him her home phone number and then that she had moved out of her apartment. Theresa didn't blow up at her, but thanked her for telling her and calmly fired her.

Answer: cats

They'd gone to her apartment to pick some stuff up for her, but found the place completely ransacked. Tony had clearly gotten in and torn everything up. They did find a cat calendar, but determined she didn't have a cat. When they realized that she used the calendar to mark off her menstrual cycle, they were both embarrassed.

Then Mercer confessed that when he'd started working at the magazine he once had a fantasy about having sex with Theresa. When Howard asked Mercer how Tony's latest actions fit into his theory of "The guy watches the girl, the guy gets the girl," Mercer rejoined, "The guy hurts the girl."

Answer: medicine cabinet

He'd left a note there which the police figured he'd hoped Theresa would find and read when she was alone. It said he wanted to pull a wire around her neck and squeeze until it decapitated her. Apparently, there were other details about his desires but Theresa opted not to hear them.

Answer: Denver

She was friendly with the editor of the "Denver Free Press" and he'd made her a job offer the previous year. When Theresa's article on the Yankees came out it caught his attention and he called to make the offer again. Theresa took it, but told him that she'd have to write under a different name.

He agreed to hire what would seem to be an untried female voice for the sports column in order to get Theresa's skills.

Answer: Les Kennkat

Theresa had told him on the phone about her situation and that she was moving. He'd made an odd noise and hung up. She was hurt until he called back and told her that he'd contacted a movie producer friend of his and arranged for a private jet to fly her to Colorado.

He also "intimated that he has ties to the Mafia" so if Theresa "wanted Tony's knees broken, all [she] had to do was say the word."

Answer: her letters

Tony had ripped up most of her journals and books. The books he'd left intact he had written little notes in the margins. The only thing that seemed untouched was a box of letters Theresa kept under her bed. Among the collection were some letters Theresa's mother had sent her when she was at camp one summer. Mercer and Howard were at Theresa's apartment to help her pack, but there wasn't much to do since most of her belongings were ruined or, at the very least, tainted with bad memories. While they were packing, Tony showed up and rang the buzzer.

Theresa called the cops and Mercer ran out to chase him, but Tony ran because he saw Howard through the window. There was a tragic moment of hope for Theresa because if the cops had shown up in time to catch Tony violating his restraining order, he'd be arrested and she wouldn't have had to relocate. Alas, he was gone by the time the police arrived and she had to resign herself to the life awaiting her in Colorado under the new name she'd chosen for herself, Claire Howells.
