Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. When Fran sees Bernard for the first time after she returns from Cornwall, she asks if he's ok. What is Bernard's response?

Answer: "Never better - I've discovered television."

In order to get to Bernard at the back of the shop, Fran had to follow a trail marked by green bin bags, a mouldy George Eliot and a dead badger. Fran says he doesn't "look right", and asks where Manny is and why the shop's in such a mess.
2. Bernard complains Manny has abandoned him; Fran enquires as to whether or not Bernard in fact sacked him and Bernard admits that "there may have been an incident". What was this?

Answer: Bernard introduced Manny's hand to a sandwich toaster

Manny elaborates, "Bernard was very mean. And he wouldn't say sorry". Manny has begun to work at Goliath Books. His boss is now a hip, happening dude called Evan who rides a scooter and listens to the Stereophonics. Evan hired Manny because he was able to see through Manny's "rudderless hippy with a hunting knife strapped to his shin" facade.
3. Evan furnishes Manny with a duty-to-do card. What does the retail console, which he can access with the card and a password, NOT do?

Answer: List tasks Manny needs to complete

Evan says the reason the store is monitoring Manny is it's "just making sure" Manny is still Manny. A deleted scene shows a camera zeroing in on Manny and beeping wildly when he eats a muffin.
4. Manny has been sleeping at Black Books. Why does Bernard evict Manny?

Answer: Manny mixed the components of Bernard's breakfast together in one bowl

Manny says "the beans are under the milk." Bernard replies, "That's it! You're evicted! Up with this I will not put."

Manny warns Bernard he won't be able to live on the mushrooms growing in his hair and asks him to apologize. Bernard says he's fine and tells Manny to go away.
5. Fran tries to get Manny and Bernard to make up. They agree that they're arguing, and that she's being selfish and should go and bother her other friends. Does she agree to?

Answer: Yes

Manny tells Bernard - again - he'll come back if Bernard will just say the two important words. Bernard says "Get out!"
6. Manny decides to sleep at Goliath Books, and settles in on his desk in a sleeping bag with a muffin and a book. Bernard sleeps in his chair. How does he switch the light off?

Answer: Throws a book at it

Manny scored a team championship point by telling Evan he was going to put an extra hour of work in and "get to grips with the duty-to-do". Evan told his team he wanted a gold star day the next day.
7. Evan promised Manny that if he tells the truth about whether he slept at Goliath Books or not, Evan won't become angry; Manny does. Does Evan get angry?

Answer: Yes

Evan shouts, "I'm really angry now", closes the shop for "staff training" and demands that Manny make a sacrifice in order to atone for his sin.
8. In the morning, what does Bernard take to make himself feel better after his time of living in squalor?

Answer: Slug pellets and Kapow oven cleaner

He also spoons some instant coffee into a cup, then adds water to the jar of granules and drinks that. These things together have the effect of causing him to float and remain suspended, supine, in the air. Luckily, he manages to pour himself a glass of wine before they do.
9. What has Fran decided to do with herself rather than hang around her other friends?

Answer: Move to Cornwall to start a new life

Fortunately, Manny apologizes to Bernard for being his victim before she leaves. Manny had to ask for his old job back because Evan told him to cut his hair.
10. Evan comes to collect Manny, razor in hand; Bernard tells him to get his own "human plaything." What does Evan encourage Manny to opine that he could have been in 2 years?

Answer: Vice-deputy Sub-assistant

Evan leaves and Bernard begins to bark orders at Manny. Evan returns to Goliath books and jams his duty-to-do card into its slot and slams his fist down on it repeatedly. The console goes haywire; the revolving displays shoot books all over the shop and a camera falls on Evan's head.
