Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. After Doug Jacobson is fired, Tim Conrad (Paul Rudd) intends to keep his job, and his office. He comes up with an idea to make novelty lamps out of unused bombs made by a Swiss company. His boss, Lance Fender, offers him the job, although first he wants to get to know Tim a bit better. Which actor portrays Mr. Fender?
2. As the explanation continues, the "dinner for winners" actually consists of taking dumb people and making fun of them, which Tim thinks is "messed up". At the end of the night, the boss picks one and gives him a trophy. What type of entertainer is Tim asked NOT to bring, as it is "cliché"?
3. Tim goes to his girlfriend with the good news, but before he tells her, he tries to propose. The thing is he had already proposed to Julie multiple times, the most recent one being two days ago. After Julie ends a successful art exhibition, she tells Tim not to go to that dinner. The next day, Tim tells his assistant to lie to his boss, so he doesn't have to go to the dinner. While driving, he runs over Barry Speck (Steve Carell). Although the car hit him pretty hard, Speck claims he's OK, and photographs the car. He says he had been hit before by a Datsun, not by what brand of cars, which happens to be Tim's car?
4. The Swiss investor, Martin Mueller, seems to get along much better with Tim than with the higher level employees, infuriating them. However, Fender seems OK with the idea of Tim going with Mueller and his wife for lunch, since his wife is also an art collector. They get into a fight, though, after Julie finds out Tim lied to him and he is going to that dinner. Barry then unexpectedly shows up in Tim's apartment just as Julie leaves. While he's there, Barry starts chatting with a girl named Darla, and gives her Tim's address. Tim is very angry, as Darla is a woman who has been stalking him for a long time, because he slept with her once. When did this happen?
5. Barry thinks Julie might be cheating on Tim with Kieran, an artist with whom she works, so he calls Kieran in an attempt to gain his confidence, impersonating an English film producer called Nigel, who wants to make a documentary on his life. While on the phone, they hear a woman laughing, and think it could be Julie, so they decide to go where Kieran is. Trying to get their attention, Barry throws an object to Kieran's room. Besides not getting any attention, which item does Barry lose?
6. As Julie left her cellphone behind, Tim is able to listen to a voicemail Kieran sent, which said he intended to take her to his secret ranch, which is in an unknown location. Barry remembers he works in a place where he can learn the address of this ranch. For which government institution does Barry work?
7. Tim is very mad at Barry for what happened, and just as they were leaving the building, Barry sees his ex-wife, Martha, getting in the car with Therman, who calls Martha "pudding". Barry sleeps in Tim's house, and Tim realizes how lonely Barry might feel. His pity for him disappears the next day. Tim was supposed to have Julie eat brunch with the Swiss couple, the Muellers. Obviously, Julie is not there, so Barry comes up with a plan: have Darla impersonate Julie. Just when they were about to close the business deal, Tim is forced to do what in the restaurant?
8. Tim and Barry arrive to the ranch, and see Kieran taking pictures of Julie. Tim tries to explain the misunderstanding, and while he does, he says the only friends Barry has are dead mice, because they can't run away from him. Barry hears him and says mice also can't lie, and walks away. Julie also says she will pack her stuff at 8:00 from Tim's home. Where is Tim's home located, as revealed in this scene?
9. Tim has to go to "dinner for winners" alone, after learning supposedly there is a similar custom in Switzerland. As he arrives, he notices Barry is already there. There were many "special" guests there, but which of these was NOT there?
