Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What time was Neal's plane scheduled to depart New York?

Answer: 6:00pm

It shows the time on his ticket in the first few seconds of the movie. As Neal rushes to leave the meeting, his friend John (Lyman Ward) warns, "You'll never make the six". Neal does get to the airport just in time, only to find his flight has been cancelled.
2. What star makes a non speaking cameo at the beginning of the movie?

Answer: Kevin Bacon

Credited as Taxi Racer in the movie, Bacon races Steve Martin as they run down opposite sides of the street, each trying to beat the other to an available cab. Martin had the race won, but falls over a large trunk that turns out to belong to John Candy's character.
3. How much does Neal pay for the taxi the man on the street had hailed?

Answer: $75

Neal first offers $10, but the man, a lawyer played by Nicholas Wyman, asks for $50 before raising it to $75. While Neal paid the man, Del slips in and steals the cab right under his nose.
4. What was the name of the motel Neal and Del stayed at in Wichita, Kansas?

Answer: Braidwood Inn

The Braidwood Inn was run by Del's old friend Gus, played by Charles Tyner. It was at the motel that one of the movies funniest scenes takes place. Neal and Del not only have to share a room, but share a bed as well. The morning after, they wake up holding each other while "Back in Baby's Arms" plays on the movie's soundtrack.
5. While riding on the bus to St. Louis, Del leads the passengers in a sing-a-long of what television show's theme song?

Answer: The Flintstones

Del saves the day with this song when the passengers don't like Neal's idea to sing "Three Coins in a Fountain".
6. What was the number of the space Neal's rental car should have been in?

Answer: V-5

The space was empty and the shuttle bus that took him to the lot had already left. Neal has to walk down a highway and across a runway to get back to the rental agency where another hilarious scene takes place. The car rental agent was played by Edie McClurg who also appeared as the school secretary in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off".
7. What happens to Neal's credit cards?

Answer: They are burned to a crisp when their car catches fire

Neal's wallet was in the glove compartment when the car Del rented caught on fire.
8. Complete this line: "Please, have mercy. I've been wearing the same underwear since __________".

Answer: Tuesday

Neal, with nothing but a few dollars and some charred remains of his credit cards, says this as he begs a motel clerk for a room. He eventually gets the room for "17 dollars and a hell of a nice watch".
9. How fast does the state trooper say Del was going when they get pulled over in what is left of the rental car?

Answer: 78

Del didn't know how fast he was going because the speedometer, along with all the other gauges, had melted in the fire. The state trooper was played by Michael McKeon, best known as Lenny on the television show "Laverne and Shirley".
10. How long did Del say his wife had been dead?

Answer: 8 years

When they finally reach Chicago, Neal starts to figure out that things don't add up as he rides the train home. He returns to the train station to find Del is still there. Del confesses that he doesn't have a home and his wife has been dead for eight years. This leads to a touching ending when Neal takes Del home with him for Thanksgiving.
