Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is the reason Donnie Brasco wants his wife, Maggie, to place the phone on her pillow?

Answer: He wants to hear her breathe.

This is the first time we hear from Maggie (Anne Heche) in the movie; she is obviously asleep. Joe Pistone is undercover in the mob as Donnie Brasco. Through a pay phone, in the middle of the night is one of the only ways that Joe can communicate with Maggie.
2. Throughout the movie we see that Joe Pistone is wearing a tape recorder and microphone. Where did he wear the wire?

Answer: Right Calf

The wire is used to record all of Joe's conversations with the gang of criminals that he has infiltrated. We see Joe pull the microphone and tape recorder from his right boot after the incident in the restaurant bathroom. He then doctors the tape so that his involvement in the restaurant beating will not look bad to the FBI.
3. Sonny Red, who is played by Robert Miano, has a son in the movie. What is his name?

Answer: Bruno

We hardly see Bruno in the movie, but he is talked about frequently. Towards the end of the movie Donnie and Lefty receive the contract to kill Bruno, due to his involvement with what is left of the Little Italy Crew. As they approach the house-boat, where Bruno is hiding out after his dad's murder, the FBI raids and places Donnie and Lefty under arrest.
4. What is Maggie doing when we first see her?

Answer: washing dishes

We first hear from Maggie while she talks on the phone to Joe Pistone. We do not actually see Maggie until later, on Christmas Day. Maggie is upset because Joe was out of the house on Christmas day, and he did not play Santa Clause for the kids. For the better part of the operation, Joe spends Christmas with Lefty's family instead of his own.
5. What does Nicky use to beat the Japanese man in the restaurant bathroom?

Answer: his shoe

The Japanese man is very adament that all of the men to take off their shoes. Donnie cannot take off his boot in the restaurant because that is where his tape recorder is hidden. In order not to break his cover, Joe finally convices the others not to remove their shoes.

This really makes the Japanese man upset. The crew, including Donnie, drag the poor guy into the bathroom, at which point you can see the loafer in Nicky's hand. During the beating you can see Nicky hitting the man on the head with it.
6. What are the three 'perks' offered by the Seven Seas Motel?

Answer: Kitchens, DD Phones, Kingbed

The sign can be seen as Donnie knocks on the FBI's motel room door. We also see Nicky pull in under the sign. He is drug trafficking in another room This activity ultimately leads to his death.
7. What brand of beer are the FBI agents drinking while they are listening to Joe Pistone's audio reels in the motel room?

Answer: Budweiser

Joe Pistone uses his beer to cool his head down. One of the other agent's beer overflows on the floor. They discuss the meaning of the now famous "forget about it." In the movie the statement "forget about it" has many different meanings which Joe Pistone explains to the FBI agents.
"Sometimes it just means forget about it." - Joe Pistone
8. Who is the first person we see handcuffed in the movie?

Answer: Donnie Brasco

The entire crew is arrested during the raid of the Kings Court. Donnie is thrown on the car and handcuffed next to the caged lion. The whole bust is a set up by Sonny Red and the boss of Florida, Santo Trafficante, played by Val Avery.
9. Who is the first wiseguy out of the Brooklyn crew to get 'whacked' in front of us?

Answer: Nicky

After the Brooklyn crew takes care of Sonny Red and his Little Italy crew in the basement, Lefty shoots Nicky twice in the head. Nicky was involved in drugs while they were in Florida and he didn't share the wealth.
10. According to the therapist what are Joe's intimacy days?

Answer: Monday, Wednesday, Friday

Maggie takes Joe to the therapist in an attempt to save their marriage. The intimacy days are set for both Joe and Maggie. They can make intimate requests on these days, for example, 'rub my back.' Joe is unimpressed by the therapist's ideas, and this drives Maggie even further from him.
