Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which state was Sydney Ellen Wade from?

Answer: Virginia

After the State Dinner, the President tried to send her some Dogwood, the state flower of Virginia, but when he could not do this, he sent her a Virginia ham instead.
2. What was the name of the flower shop where Andy stopped the Presidential motorcade?

Answer: Carmen's House of Flowers

This was the shop which Andy had phoned when he wanted to send flowers to Sydney after the State Dinner. Then, when he was in the motorcade and had to ring Sydney to break his date with her, he suddenly spotted the shop and told the driver to stop so that he could 'hop out and get her some flowers'.

When Lewis told him he couldn't just 'hop out', Andy replied, 'You think there's a florist who's planning an assassination on the off-chance that I'd be stopping by?' And Lewis said rather uncertainly, 'It's possible.'
3. What was Sydney wearing when the President called her for the first time?

Answer: Pyjamas

Sydney thought it was Richard ringing back and doing his 'Andrew Shepherd imitation' and made some flippant remarks to him before putting the phone down. She was mortified when she realised that it actually had been the President she was speaking to.
4. What colour gown did Sydney wear for the State Dinner?

Answer: Blue

This was Sydney's first date with the President, a State Dinner at the White House in honour of the President of France. She wore a strapless, long, deep blue gown with a matching stole. As she entered the reception room very nervously, AJ commented to her 'Sydney, you look beautiful!'
5. What tune was the orchestra playing when Andy and Sydney danced together?

Answer: I Have Dreamed

This was the only tune that we heard the orchestra playing during the State Dinner and Sydney made a comment to the President of France about 'listening to the music of this wonderful orchestra'. Then Andy asked her to dance. Interesting that there seemed to be no cameras flashing while they danced, and yet photographs of them dancing together appeared in every newspaper the next day!
6. Where was Sydney held up in traffic?

Answer: Dupont Circle

Sydney was late for the White House Christmas party and told AJ that she got stuck at Dupont Circle and that she could never remember which lane she should be in. When Andy joined them, the first thing he said was 'Did you get stuck at Dupont Circle again?'
7. What colour scarf did Andy wear?

Answer: Red

He seemed to wear this scarf every time with his outdoor coat e.g. when he was about to leave in the helicopter from the White House lawn, and when he was travelling in the motorcade. After the final Press Conference, he pulled it out of his pocket when he was about to go to Sydney's house.
8. Who said to whom 'Perhaps I didn't properly explain the fundamentals of the slow-down plan?'

Answer: Andy to Sydney

Sydney went to the White House to tell Andy that she couldn't see him any more because he was the President. While Sydney was in the bathroom, Andy was explaining his plan about slowing down until Sydney felt more comfortable about their relationship. He was stunned when she re-appeared just wearing one of his shirts. Her reply to him was 'No, you explained it great'.
9. Lucy said that her dad had told her to tell Sydney he was on the phone with whom?

Answer: His dentist

Lucy said this when she met Sydney as she arrived at the residence for a private dinner. Lucy then said that her dad had told her to say that because 'He wants you to think he's a regular guy' and admitted that he was actually on the phone to the Prime Minister of Israel.
10. Who took Sydney home after she had stayed the night at the White House for the first time?

Answer: Esther

Lewis, Robin and AJ all arrived in the President's room at the same time, very early in the morning. Lewis said the Press had recognised Sydney's car and were camped down at every exit. Lewis and Robin were trying to work out how to get Sydney away from the White House, and AJ saved the situation by telling her that Esther (his wife) was in his office and had the station wagon outside.
