Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The Chances manage to fit a lot of people under one roof: Burt, Virginia, Maw Maw, Jimmy, baby Hope, and cousin Mike. Who owns the house they all live in?

Answer: Maw Maw

Maw Maw, played by the legendary Cloris Leachman, spends most of her days in a state of highly comical senility, seemingly unaware that her family shamelessly mooches off her. However, during her rare moments of lucidity, the sharp-tongued octogenarian has no problem telling her family that she thinks they're losers.

For example, after Cousin Mike tells Maw Maw that he lives in a tent in her laundry room, she responds: "No, not any more you don't. You guys pack up all your gypsy circus and find another teat to suck on!"

2. What does Virginia do for a living?

Answer: She works as a maid for Knock, Knock, Knock Housekeeping.

Virginia Chance is played by "The Goonies" alum Martha Plimpton.

3. The Chances run out of their favorite ice cream. They send Jimmy out on a very fateful trip to get more. What flavor is the ice cream that changes Jimmy's life forever?

Answer: Bubblegum

Sadly, the ice cream never makes it home to the Chances. It melts on the dashboard of Jimmy's van while he is busy with Lucy in the back of the van.

Answer: Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

Ahmadinejad was president of Iran from 2005-2013.

5. What are Lucy Carlyle's aliases?

Answer: Joan Doyle and Selma Wrightsdale

Lucy's aliases are mentioned in the news report that the Chances are watching on television while Lucy is in the bathroom. The report also happens to mention that Lucy is wanted for murdering her boyfriends. Oops.

6. What is Lucy's last meal request?

Answer: A McRib and a Shamrock Shake

The prison guard tells Jimmy, "Your girlfriend is pretty clever. For her last meal, she asked for a McRib and a Shamrock Shake. That should buy her a few months. Those two are almost never available at the same limited time."

7. Which of the following ill-advised creative solutions does Jimmy NOT try while taking care of the baby?

Answer: Using a dresser drawer as a crib

Jimmy eventually pawns most of his belongings to buy proper baby equipment.

8. What does Virginia want Jimmy to do with the baby?

Answer: Safe drop her at the fire station

She tells him to drop her off at the fire station, but she adds, "Only make sure you hand it to someone. You can't just drop it in the bin out front. That's for canned goods and puppies."

9. What song does Virginia sing to the baby to get her to sleep?

Answer: "Danny's Song"

After hours of Hope's relentless crying, Virginia soothes the baby by singing the Kenny Loggins-penned classic, "Danny's Song". This is a pivotal moment, as you see Virginia softening toward the baby and becoming more open to the idea of keeping her.

10. Who named the baby Hope?

Answer: Virginia

Virginia says that they need to come up with another name for the baby because, "I'm not parading my granddaughter around church with a name like Princess Beyonce," which is the unfortunate name that the baby's mother saddled her with. So Jimmy asks Virginia to name the baby.
