Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Who was collecting the pink and blue town ribbons as the episode opened?

Answer: Kirk

Kirk was sitting inside Luke's with a clear plastic bin, and he was retrieving all of the Luke versus Lorelai ribbons Taylor had passed out. It is revealed later that Lorelai's ribbons are coming in faster than Luke's, revealing that more people had chosen to support Lorelai during the break up.

When Kirk's girlfriend Lulu refused to give back her pink ribbon, Kirk chased her down the street. He came back into the diner with Lulu's ribbon, still attached to her clothing.
2. What famous person did Logan reveal to Rory that his mother regularly played canasta with?

Answer: Tony Kushner

When Rory heard this, she commented that Logan's life was amazing and he had no clue how much so. Tony Kushner is an award winning American playwright. Tony won many awards for his Broadway hit "Angels in America: A Gay Fantasia on National Themes". Among those awards were New York and Los Angeles Drama Critics Award, two Tony Awards, a Pulitzer Prize, and two Olivier Awards. Peter Jackson is the hugely successful director of the three part "Lord of the Rings" movies and the 2005 "King Kong" remake. Ivana is the former wife of New York City real-estate mogul Donald Trump, and Mrs. Rowling is the brilliant mind behind the world of "Harry Potter".
3. While Sookie and Lorelai are inspecting the inn for the photo shoot, did they discuss that there was a cake on each dining table?

Answer: Yes

Sookie had added several extra touches from the kitchen. One of those was a cake on top every table in the dining area. She also had treats at the check in desk, and when she was worried about the photos not being taken from the inside, she brought out food to set on the porch railing!
4. On which game show had Michel won "over $100,000 in cash and prizes", while he was in California?

Answer: The Price is Right

He won a very expensive motor home, or recreational vehicle (RV), as well as some smaller prizes. He tried to give out some cheap presents to Sookie and Lorelai too, one of which was the book "He's Just Not That Into You". You do not win prizes on "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?", which is also taped in New York City. You do win some prizes on "Jeopardy!", though not on a regular basis. Michel's RV arrived earlier than he expected, and it ruined the first attempt at the inn's photo shoot. Lorelai snapped at Michel to get rid of the RV, so he tried to sell it off at the ridiculously low price of $20,000. Lorelai stepped in and prevented this from happening, since it is worth so much more, and apologized to Michel.
5. According to Kirk, while he's chatting with Luke, what is his mother allergic to?

Answer: Lulu

Kirk told Luke that whenever Lulu entered the room, his mother would cough, choke, turn red, and get puffy. He explained that Lulu had tried changing her products and clothing to fix the problem, but nothing had helped. It sounds like Kirk's mother just does not want to share her grown son with anyone. This is when Luke told Kirk he needed to grow and be a man.
6. It's no surprise that Emily has a new maid in this episode. What is the new maid's name?

Answer: Olympia

Emily had Olympia set the dinner table for four people, because she arrogantly assumed that Lorelai would be joining the Friday night dinner with Rory. Emily assumed that coming to Luke and sending him back to Lorelai would exonerate her for her atrocious behavior before and during the vow renewal.

When Lorelai did not show up, she pretended to know it and said the extra place setting was the maid's mistake and she'd be fired.
7. Rory and Logan attended Finn's birthday party together.

Answer: False

Rory and Logan were in a "cas" (casual) relationship. He had wanted it that way and Rory agreed. She and Lorelai spotted Logan in town (New Haven) while they were shopping. He was having coffee with another girl, and Rory explained to her mom that they'd agreed to date other people. Lorelai found this troubling, because she knew Rory and Logan had an intimate relationship as well. So, later when Robert (Logan's friend) asked Rory to Finn's birthday part, she agreed. Logan was not at all pleased to see Rory with another guy, so he kissed her passionately and tried to coax her to leave the party with him.

Despite being tempted, Rory did not ditch Robert and leave with Logan. Logan came to the party with Whitney, so he was not alone.
8. As the title of the episode suggests, what writer/director was the birthday party themed around?

Answer: Quentin Tarantino

Robert, Rory's date, came as Dead Extra #2 from one of Quentin's movies. Logan was the boxer from "Pulp Fiction", and his date Whitney was the Bride from the "Kill Bill" movies. Rory may have been playing the part of one of Lucy Lui's co-horts in "Kill Bill".
9. What type of music CD did Lorelai find inside Luke's truck?

Answer: Reggae

Lorelai was appalled to find Reggae music inside Luke's truck, and went on to make fun of the song titles. He said he bought it because it was cheap. She said she wouldn't be surprised to find 'ganja and a yellow/red/green cap' in the glove box. Ganja, of course, being slang for marijuana.
10. Where did Kirk sleep with his Batman blanket in this episode?

Answer: All of these

When poor Kirk became excited about moving out of his house, he handed his mother the key and packed his bag. He did not think it through and get an apartment first. So, Luke and Lorelai first found him nude and sleeping with the Batman blanket inside her garage.

He was curled up in Luke's boat! Then, Lorelai allowed him to borrow Rory's room, where he later emerged sleep walking. He walked out, nude again, of Lorelai's house. At least he had the blanket around him, as sometimes he has nothing covering his nudity.

Then, at the end of the episode Michel is negotiating the sale of his RV over the phone when he finds Kirk, nude with the blanket, asleep inside the RV. I think Kirk would be perfectly content if Luke and Lorelai married and adopted him. Even though Kirk is an adult, he is extremely attached to both Luke and Lorelai.
