Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Throughout this episode of "I Love Lucy," Lucy is deeply engaged in a book. What is the title of this book?

Answer: "The Mockingbird Murder Mystery"

In the opening scene of this episode, the screen closes up on the cover of the book Lucy is reading, which is entitled, "The Mockingbird Murder Mystery."
2. While she is reading, Lucy is sitting near a table with crackers, cheddar cheese dip, and cold cream. There is also a small clock that reads what time?

Answer: 02:00 AM

The clock on the table next to Lucy reads 2 o'clock. The audience knows that it is 02:00 AM rather than 02:00 PM because it is dark outside the windows. Also, in this scene, Lucy dips her cracker into the cold cream instead of the cheddar cheese dip and takes a bite!
3. After Lucy has accidentally thrown her book out the window, she tells Ricky that she is curious how the woman in the mystery book will die. Ricky re-enacts the murder of the "wife" from the book. He says the husband would look around for a murder weapon. First, he finds a gun, but it "makes too much noise," then, he finds a knife, but says it is "too sloppy." What does he find that would be the "perfect" murder weapon?

Answer: A scarf

Ricky says that the "perfect" murder weapon for the death of the woman would be a scarf because it would be done "quietly and neatly."
4. The next morning, when Lucy retrieves her book she had thrown out the window the night before, what does she find stuck in the middle of the book?

Answer: A banana peel

When Lucy picks her book up outside the kitchen, through the back door, she comes into the kitchen and takes out a banana peel from the center of the book. She then washes the book with water under the faucet.
5. When Ethel comes over to Lucy's that morning with tarot cards, she offers to read Lucy's fortune. Which card is next to Lucy's card, which is represented by the queen of hearts?

Answer: Ace of spades

Lucy's card (the queen of hearts) is found next to the Ace Of Spades, which symbolizes death. Ethel asks her if she knew of anyone that would want to kill her. Lucy initially says, "no," but then says that the night before (when Ricky was re-enacting the murder from the book) she thought Ricky might kill her.
6. Later that day, Jerry, Ricky's agent, calls about the dog act that needs to be rehearsed. While Jerry calls out the dogs' names, Ricky jots them down on a piece of paper. What is the only male name in the bunch?

Ricky reads the names aloud while writing them down on a piece of paper. He reads out, "Anne, Mary, Helen, Cynthia, Alice," and the only male name, "Theodore."
7. After Ricky leaves for work that day, Lucy screams for Ethel, who runs in from the kitchen. Lucy turns to Ethel and says, "You're looking at a future ________."

Answer: doornail

Lucy tells Ethel, "You're looking at a future doornail," after convincing herself that Ricky is going to murder her.
8. The next morning, Lucy tries to protect herself from Ricky. She uses two items as bullet-proof armour. What are these items?

Answer: Frying pan and garbage can lid

When Ethel comes over to see her that morning, Lucy tells Ethel that she has "a sinking feeling" right here, hitting her stomach. There is an interesting noise, so Ethel hits it for herself. When Ethel asks what is making such a sound, Lucy opens her robe, revealing a frying pan tied around her neck and covering her stomach area. Lucy also turns around and lifts her robe to reveal a garbage pan lid that covers her bottom.
9. To calm Lucy down, Ricky decides to slip one of Fred's "Mickey"s in a drink he plans to give to Lucy. Although the "Mickey" is really sleeping powder, Lucy sees Ricky mixing the powder into her drink. In the end, who ends up drinking the "Mickey"-ed drink?

Answer: Lucy

After Lucy sees Ricky mixing the "Mickey" in one of two drinks Ricky has, Lucy decides she needs to buy some time. She convinces Ricky to dance with her so Lucy could switch the glasses. She is successful, but is unaware that Ricky has switched them back! So, in the end, Lucy drinks the drink with the sleeping powder.
10. At the end of the episode, viewers can find Lucy reading the book once again. Ricky walks in and kisses Lucy, causing her to throw the book out of her hands again. But this time, she successfully retrieves it right away. How was that possible?

At the end of the episode, Lucy is reading "The Mockingbird Murder Mystery" once again. She gets startled by Ricky and throws the book out the window, but retrieves it right away because she had tied the book with a string.
