Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. While dining at a New York restaurant with his wife Mona, and Don and Betty Draper, Roger Sterling reminisces about his privileged childhood. Later, after the ladies excuse themselves to the powder room, Betty needs Mona's assistance with what problem?

Answer: Applying lipstick

After hearing about Roger Sterling's childhood nannies, the wives idly chit- chat in the ladies room. Suddenly, Betty suffers numbness in her hands and is unable to touch up her lipstick. Mona gladly applies the product to, as she characterizes them, luscious lips that should enable Betty to hold on to a man like Don Draper.

As Betty and Mona return to their table, a ladies room attendant, reflecting on the current trend in ladies accessories, comments o a co-worker that if purses get any smaller that they will starve.
2. Don Draper is reluctant to discuss the details of his past. On the drive home from dinner, a slightly tipsy Betty gently pesters him for more information. Her interrogation continues to the bedroom. To appease Betty, what does Don finally admit to not having as a child?

Answer: Nanny

After Roger Sterling's story of being raised by nannies, which included a German woman fired by his parents after the Lindbergh kidnapping, he inquires about Don's childhood. Don declines to answer explaining that it will ruin the first half of his book.
3. Betty is driving down the street when she notices a recently divorced woman moving into the neighborhood. What does Betty do?

Answer: Wrecks her car

After seeing a single mother struggling with a large cardboard box, Betty's hands went numb and she couldn't properly steer. Her car jumps the curb and strikes a lawn bird bath, throwing her unrestrained children onto the rear floorboard.
4. Don, perhaps feeling a bit guilty about his romps with Midge and his wife's sudden physical problem, brings a present to Betty. What gift does he buy to cheer up his beautiful wife?

Answer: Watch

Betty's doctor could find nothing physically wrong with her that would cause the numbness in her hands and recommends that she see a psychiatrist. Don's initial reaction is negative and he accuses doctors of recommending psychiatric care when they don't know what is wrong with a patient. Betty seems grateful for her white gold gift, but through tears again asks her husband if she should see someone.
5. After a romantic interlude, Don Draper notices a small television set in Midge's apartment. He thought this strange of Midge, an anti-establishment type who does not like television, and rails against it. How does Midge handle the situation when further interrogated by Don?

Answer: Throws it out the window

Midge's hemming and hawing about the source of the portable television seems to indicate to Don that it was a gift from a male friend. Being the dutiful mistress, Midge discards the objectionable item at the first sign of her lover's displeasure.
6. The junior ad executives are struggling to come up with marketing ideas about what new product?

Answer: Right Guard

As senior partner Bertram Cooper unexpectedly walks into an office, he discovers several of his young executives testing the world's first aerosol deodorant on an unwilling Ken Cosgrove. Later, when Paul Kinsey pitches the concept of comparing Right Guard to space age astronauts, Don Draper shoots down the idea saying that many people actually fear the future.
7. Episode 2 suggests that child safety concerns were practically non-existent fifty years ago. Betty's unrestrained young children are allowed to freely play about while passengers in the family car. In one scene, Betty knowingly allows her young daughter to play with what potentially dangerous item?

Answer: Plastic bag

21st Century viewers most likely gasped audibly when Betty's young daughter walks into the room with a dry cleaners plastic bag over her head and body as she plays spaceman with a friend. Perhaps in 1960 enough children had not yet died of suffocation.

While her pregnant friend Francine puffs away on a cigarette, Betty expresses concern about the condition of her newly dry-clean clothes.
8. As Betty lays on a psychiatrist's couch, what is her husband Don doing?

Answer: Visiting his mistress

After dropping Betty off at the psychiatrist's office, Don calls in sick to the office and waits at Midge's apartment door for her to return. As he begins to discuss his concerns for his wife, Midge stops him saying that she did not want to talk about her. Having misplaced her key, she then dispatches Don to the fire escape to enter the apartment.
9. What did Don finally figures out that women really want?

Answer: Any excuse to get closer

In their own ways, both Betty and Midge want to know more about the man in their life than Don Draper is willing to share. The women seem willing to do anything to please Don, Betty by being the perfect wife and Midge by being the perfect mistress.
10. Episode 2 draws to a close with Don and Betty returning home after having had dinner in the city. What happens after they enter their house?

Answer: Don makes a telephone call

Don is concerned about his wife and makes a late night call to Betty's pajama-clad psychiatrist who freely begins to discuss Betty's anxieties. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) protecting the privacy of a person's medical information was not passed by Congress until 1996.
