Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Mrs. Wilson

If only Dottie didn't steal Beverly's parking space, she could have saved herself a whole heap of bother. Some people think that swearing tirades are awful. Not me! This is one of the funniest scenes in the entire movie and a lesson that you should always be careful when giving out your phone number.

2. What colour is the cake tin given to Mr. Stubbins?

Answer: Pink

I guess students aren't the only people who suck up to teachers. Beverly gives Mr. Stubbins a fruit cake before he chastises Beverly for her son Chip's morbid imagination.

Answer: Citizen Kane

I still haven't found out what they're watching but it looked really tacky. The movie is too much for Scotty who runs out of the room to the toilet to throw up.

4. How much weight does Misty Sutphin have to lose so Carl will take her to the Maryland Memorial Day Beach Blast?

Answer: 10 lbs

Misty is transfixed by any handsome man: Carl, Detective Pike, Hal from the Baltimore Daily. However, Carl stands her up the next day and Beverly has to take matters into her own hands.

5. Deedee is Beverly's favourite Lapwing.

Answer: False

Deedee is Beverly's favourite Starling who visits her garden every morning for breakfast. However, Beverly isn't only watching the birds through her binoculars. The neighbours are under surveillance too.

6. Rosemary Ackerman doesn't recycle. What punishment does Gus suggest?

Answer: Give her a happy face and recycle her

Gus and Sloppy are Beverly's dusbin men and are friendly with her. She brings them whisky; they help her at her trial. A most profitable exchange.

7. Who is presenting the programme on "Serial Hags"?

Answer: Joan Rivers

This is on at Rosemary's house whilst Dottie is lunching there. Beverly comes over to visit, having seen Rosemary talking to the police, and deliberately reveals to Dottie that she's been making the malicious calls.

8. According to the two twenty-somethings at the Antiques Mart, who is the coolest?

Answer: Don Knotts

They appear to be buying a record at Misty's stall. Being a Brit, I'd never heard of him until I searched the web and saw just how big he was.

9. The man who stumbled across Carl's body in the toilets at the Antique Mart was eating what food?

Answer: A kebab

The guy looked like a real tough guy but screamed like a sissy. I guess that's John Waters doing his usual trick of duping the audience into making suppositions about a character.

10. Whose aunt is always getting on her nerves?

Answer: Birdie

When Misty realises that Beverly is a killer, she rushes straight to the video store where Chip works and informs him of the news. However, Chip and Bertie plus an unnamed friend don't take her seriously and Bertie wants to borrow Beverly to kill her aunt because she is always getting on her nerves.

11. Who is the star of the film Scotty watches in his bedroom?

Answer: Chesty la Rue

Scotty is watching 70's icon Chesty la Rue on Saturday evening. The Sutphin family thinks Beverly is going to kill Scottie because Chip said Scotty thinks Beverly is the killer. She is on her way over to Ralph and Betty Sternun who ruined her day with Ralph's dental emergency.

12. In the church, who gets punched by Gus and Sloppy?

Answer: Detective Pike

The police are closing in on Beverly but thanks to a sneeze, Beverly is able to make her escape. Gus and Sloppy hold back the police whilst Chip and Birdie smuggle Beverly out of the side of the church.

13. What is the name of the dog owned by Emmy Lou Jenson?

Answer: Sylvester

Sylvester tries to warn his owner of impending danger but "Mommy's watching Annie". In a final indignity, Sylvester eats the leg of lamb Beverly uses to beat Mrs. Jenson to death with.

14. When Suzanne Sommers walks into the Serial Mom trial, the words "Beverly Hills" are visible on her t-shirt.

Answer: True

She provides a welcome distraction from Detective Pike's evidence which was quite damning. The judge said she loved her in "Three's Company".

15. Complete the quote said by Beverly to the media after the trial: "Well hello _______"?

Answer: New York

Beverly sees juror number eight (played by Patty Hearst) going to the pay phones and decides to give her a little lesson in fashion. Suzanne Sommers then incurs the wrath of Beverly Sutphin over a photo. Could Suzanne Sommers be the next victim?
