Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The episode begins with Lisa in a depressed state, but her father Homer is more in a state of anger. First Bart gets into the bathroom before him, then he ends up searching frantically around the house for which item?

Answer: His keys

Homer runs around the house desperately looking for his keys whilst Bart performs a running commentary:

Bart: "Warm. No, cold. Colder. Ice cold."
Homer: "You know where my keys are?"
Bart: "No, I'm talking about your breakfast."

Lisa eventually ends up finding her father's keys; he had left them in the front door the night before!
2. Lisa turns down a cupcake from her mother on the way out the door, and her sadness continues throughout school. During music class she spontaneously bursts out with a be-bop saxophone solo much to the annoyance of her teacher Mr. Largo. What song is the band playing before Lisa's solo?

Answer: My Country 'Tis Of Thee

The music group is playing a slow version of "My Country Tis Of Thee", or as I myself would call the song "God Save The Queen" as it's the national anthem of my native UK :). Mr. Largo shouts at Lisa for her unscheduled saxophone solo, further upsetting Lisa who feels her creativity is being stifled.
3. After refusing to participate in a food fight, Lisa finds herself in gym class. The rest of her class participate in the game they're playing but Lisa has no interest as she is "too sad" to play. What game is being played?

Answer: Dodgeball

The gym teacher is mystified at Lisa's refusal to play because of her sadness and the game continues around her. The teacher is still concerned enough to send Lisa home with a note to her parents: "Lisa refuses to play dodgeball because she is sad."
4. Back at the Simpsons' home, a long-standing rivalry is about to continue as Bart and Homer clash at a video game. It's not a very close rivalry though; Bart has beaten Homer every time they've played. What sport is the video game based on?

Answer: Boxing

Bart gives his own personal ring announcement for the match: "In the red trunks, with a record of 48 wins and no losses, the undisputed champ of the town, Battling Bart Simpson! And in the lavender trunks, with a record of zero wins and 48 defeats, correction, humiliating defeats, all of them by knock-out, Homer 'the human punching bag' Simpson!"
5. Homer and Marge try their best to cheer Lisa up, but whilst Lisa is having a hot bath, Bart is forced to vacuum the living room. When Lisa is done the two meet in the living room and end up trying to find out who Maggie loves best. What is Maggie's decision?

Answer: She loves the TV most

Bart tries to lure Maggie to him by shaking a rattler and Lisa tries to convince Maggie to pick her by looking for substance over the "glitter" of the toy. In the end Lisa resigns in defeat, however Maggie ends up hugging the TV rather than Bart. If you love your TV as much as Maggie does why not give it a hug yourself now? Nobody's watching.
6. Lisa plays her saxophone in her room but Homer soon comes up and tells her to stop as it's too noisy. A despondent Lisa ends up settling to practice by just playing the notes and not blowing the instrument. Lisa can hear the sound of another saxophone in the distance though and she ends up leaving her room to try and find the source. Who is playing the saxophone in question?

Answer: Bleeding Gums Murphy

Lisa finds Bleeding Gums Murphy (the name coming from the fact he has never been to a dentist) playing the blues on a bridge and is immediately enthralled with his performance. They jam together for a bit before Lisa sings about her troubles: "I got a bratty brother.

He bugs me everyday. And this morning my own mother, gave my last cupcake away. My Dad acts like he belongs, he belongs in the zoo. I'm the saddest kid, in grade number two."
7. Marge goes to pick Lisa up after realising she's gone and later on Homer is watching a news report about a wildfire that has brought down several buildings. Which of these is Homer most concerned about?

Answer: Barney's Bowlarama

All four of the buildings were caught up in the fire and have apparently been destroyed in it. Despite the cultural significance of the other three it's the bowling alley that is closest to Homer's heart and he runs to Marge very upset.
8. Lisa is still sad and it's her brother's turn to try and cheer her up. His idea involves a classic Bart crank call. He rings Moe's Tavern and wants Moe to ask for which name?

Answer: Jacques Strap

Whilst Bart finds his crank call hilariously funny, there are two people that don't. Lisa doesn't laugh as she usually would do at the crank call, and of course Moe isn't best pleased about being duped again. "It's you, isn't it ya cowardly little runt?! When I get a hold of you, I'm gonna gut you like a fish and drink your blood!"
9. Homer heads to the Noiseland Video Arcade to try and train himself to get better at the game that Bart keeps beating him at. Whilst he's there he sees a kid named Howie who beats all his opponents with the greatest of ease. Homer asks Howie for help in getting better at the game, but what does Howie want Homer to do before he agrees?

Answer: Bark like a dog

After Homer barks like a dog Howie is happy to train him, and the training works as Homer becomes much better at the game. Homer heads home to give Bart a taste of his own medicine, and in their "final match" Homer is beating Bart until Marge turns off the games console shortly before Homer delivers the final blow. Bart then retires from the "sport of video boxing" with his undefeated record intact.
10. Lisa eventually begins feeling better when Marge tells her that it's OK to be sad and that she doesn't have to smile just to fit in with everybody else. For the first time in the episode Lisa smiles because she feels like doing it. After interrupting the Homer/Bart video game contest, the family head off where to celebrate Lisa's new-found happiness?

Answer: The Jazz Hole

Lisa takes her family to The Jazz Hole to see Bleeding Gums Murphy play, and the jazz saxophonist even sings Lisa's blues song himself. That does lead to an awkward moment at the "my dad belongs in the zoo" line which Homer takes exception to, and the episode ends to the sound of Bleeding Gums playing his saxophone. Thanks for playing!
