Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What are the names of the two main characters?

Answer: Henry and Nancy Clark

Henry Clark is played by Steve Martin and Goldie Hawn plays Nancy Clark.

2. What does Nancy ask Henry, after she first gets on the plane?

Answer: Are you excited I came?

She stage whispers this across the entire cabin. She then proceeds to pass him some forgotten personal hygiene items. An irritated passenger finally shouts at the end of the scene: "Let 'em sit together!" (Nancy was at the back because she got on the plane late).

3. What does Henry sarcastically remark he forgot to do, in his rush to leave the house that morning?

Answer: Measure his bags

When they are at the lost and found the man shows them a sheet with many types of luggage on it and Henry says it looks someting like "that one" and points to one and the man asks if that was the 26 inch or the 20 inch model. Then Henry says, "Gee, honey, in my rush to leave the house this morning I forgot to measure my bags".

The man says, "Mr. Clark, an accurate description often leads to apprehending the suspect". Henry responds, "My bags didn't murder anyone, they just got lost!".

4. What was Nancy's career before she stopped to raise a family?

Answer: Advertising

She worked in advertising with her husband. We are told this several times during the movie. The first is when she draws a picture of the missing luggage and the man remarks how good it is; the second time is when Henry finally reveals he has been fired.

5. Where had the Wellstones been visiting?

Answer: Monte Carlo

The Wellstones are the rich couple who come in just after the Clarks are denied a room for the second time. The hotel manager asks them "How was Monte Carlo?". Apparently it would not stop raining. Poor things.

6. Why, as the Clarks told "Andrew Lloyd Webber", did the musical "Cats" hit home for them?

Answer: They lost a cat that year.

Of course it wasn't really Andrew Lloyd Webber, it was a mugger with a fake British accent.

7. When they are in Greg's room and Nancy has just hung up with room service, what does she realize she has forgotton to order?

Answer: Fries

She also orders the prime rib and lobster - as soon as possible.

8. Why does Greg return to his room unexpectedly?

Answer: He forgot his cell phone

As he is leaving he sees room service coming to his room and he knows something is up. The waiter asks if the meal is for three, because he only has settings for two. Later Greg tells the manager that Norman Bates could run a better hotel, at which the manager promptly pokes him in the eye.

9. As they are escaping down the side of the hotel, what is Henry referring to when he says, "I don't think I can get into heaven if that's the last thing I see before I die!"?

Answer: Henry Mersault wearing high heels and dancing to "Bad Girls"

In this scene Henry and Nancy discover that the hotel manager is a transvestite. He is in the Wellstones' suite wearing Mrs. Wellstone's fur coat and leopard print shoes. Nancy later uses this information to blackmail him into bailing Henry out of jail (for 'indecent exposure' in Central Park).

As Henry is hanging onto the neon sign he causes a short that makes the electricity in the entire building go out. Mersault crankily exits the room muttering "I could have danced all night".

10. What is the advertising slogan Henry creates that impresses the executives so much that they hire him?

Answer: Only in New York!

Accompanying the slogan is a visual of the Statue of Liberty giving a high five to a family of tourists. Henry uses his unique experiences of the last 24 hours to express that it is 'Only in New York' that many things can happen.
