Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. After Sparkle Motion's great success onstage, who do we see sitting outside by the school mascot?

Answer: Cherita

Cherita's all alone out there after having received basically only sympathy applause, and Sparkle Motion is bringing down the house. It's a nice contrast.
2. After Donnie returns to the movie theater and before he kisses Gretchen, what does he do?

Answer: eats some popcorn

Mmm. Must've been a tasty kiss.
3. After Miss Pomeroy is fired, she goes to the playing field and screams. Who sees this?

Answer: Cherita

They have a little moment together where they seem to understand that no one has it perfect.
4. What show was Sparkle Motion invited to?

Answer: Star Search

Kitty was, of course, thrilled. I remember loving this show in my youth.
5. When Kitty comes to ask Rose to take the kids to LA, what does her shirt say?

Answer: God is awesome!

A perfect shirt for Kitty.
6. After Rose finds Donnie's drawing of Frank on his wall calendar, Donnie asks Rose, 'How's it feel to have a wacko for a son?'. How does she reply?

Answer: It feels wonderful.

Mary McDonnell is such an exquisite actress, and this scene between her and Donnie is simply sublime.
7. What words or phrase does Miss Pomeroy write on the blackboard before leaving the school?

Answer: Cellar Door

Apparently a linguist decided that of all the combination of sounds in the English language, 'cellar door' is the most beautiful. It also serves as a guide for Donnie.
8. What is the most prominently visible item being carried out by Miss Pomeroy?

Answer: US Flag

I didn't realize that teachers brought those. I always thought they were provided by the schools.
9. When Donnie confronts Cherita in the hallway after Miss Pomeroy leaves, what does he promise?

Answer: That one day, everything will be better for her.

Cherita is flustered, drops her books, and runs away. Then Donnie looks and sees that she's written his name on her schoolbook.
10. What does Donnie take of Cherita's from their hallway encounter?

Answer: earmuffs

He walks down the sidewalk wearing them, as though trying to experience life from her point of view.
11. Under hypnosis, Donnie tells Dr. Thurman that his parents didn't get him what he wanted for Christmas. What did he want?

Answer: Hungry Hungry Hippos

A lovely touch for the film's 80s setting.
12. At the therapy session during which Frank appears to Donnie, Donnie gets upset under hypnosis, telling Dr. Thurman that he doesn't want to be left without figuring out why these things are happening to him. As he tells Dr. Thurman that Frank is going to kill, he picks something up. What is it?

Answer: stuffed animal

Donnie always reverts to a child-like state in hypnosis. The stuffed animal seems to be an obvious extension of that.
13. Where does Elizabeth get into school?

Answer: Harvard

She and Donnie decide to throw a 'small' Halloween party to celebrate.
14. True or false? Gretchen wears a costume at Donnie's Halloween party.

Answer: false

She came over from discovering her mother's disappearance. Didn't have time to get a costume.
15. What is written on the fridge at the Halloween party?

Answer: Frank was here. Went to get beer.

Donnie's water spear leads him to it.
