Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What 'bad' thing does Donnie do at the bus stop?

Answer: smokes a cigarette

His friends tell him he should, now that he's famous for escaping the jet engine's path.
2. To keep his sister quiet about the 'bad' thing he does at the bus stop, Donnie threatens to put something in the garbage disposal if she tells. What is it?

Answer: Ariel

Samantha already knew the threat, making this sort of exchange seem habitual.
3. Where does Donnie's friend Sean (Gary Lundy) tell Cherita Chen (Jolene Purdy) to go?

Answer: back to China

One of the early examples of how kids can be cruel to one another.
4. What is Kitty (Beth Grant) holding when we first see her?

Answer: Jim's book

She's in the hallway and the bully Seth sneers at her, prompting the camera to swing around and give us our first glimpse of her.
5. What short story is being discussed in Karen Pomeroy (Drew Barrymore)'s class?

Answer: Graham Greene's 'The Destructors'

The story becomes an issue for the school later.
6. Where does Miss Pomeroy tell Gretchen (Jena Malone) to sit?

Answer: Next to the boy she thinks is the cutest.

Seems a bit cruel to me. Not the best way to introduce a young girl to a socially vicious group of teens.
7. Where does Gretchen end up sitting?

Answer: In Joanie's seat.

Which is more or less next to Donnie Darko. From Miss Pomeroy's look, I have to wonder if he's the guy she thinks is the cutest, too.
8. What does the little boy in the infomercial profess?

Answer: I'm not afraid anymore!

The whole thing was about controlling fear and allowing love to be a dominant force in life.
9. In what way had the school mascot been desecrated?

Answer: Axe through the head.

The school officials were amazed because the statue was solid bronze.
10. According to the schoolgirl, what are feces?

Answer: baby mice

Not exactly accurate, but it made for a very funny moment.
11. What crime did Donnie tell Gretchen he had committed?

Answer: burned down a house

He got held back in school because of it, and now he can't drive until he's 21.
12. What does Donnie say is the invention most beneficial to mankind?

Answer: antiseptics

Gretchen didn't seem overly impressed by the explanation Donnie gave for this.
13. In therapy, which TV actress does Donnie profess fantasizing about?

Answer: Christina Applegate from 'Married with Children'

Apparently they wanted to use Alyssa Milano but couldn't afford the rights. Christina Applegate must have been more generous (perhaps because she has less of a career now?).
14. When Donnie undoes his pants in the therapy session, what kind of closure do they have?

Answer: button fly

It's clearest when he's doing them up again. The therapist had to cut the hypnosis session short because it was becoming inappropriate very quickly.
15. What is Donnie doing at the beginning of the Smurf talk?

Answer: shooting glass bottles

He has very good aim, which pays off later when he shoots Frank in the eye.
