Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. 'Six Feet Under' revolves around the Fishers, a somewhat quirky family whose home doubles as a funeral parlor. Which member of the Fisher family do we see first in the premiere episode?

Answer: Nathaniel

Nathaniel Fisher, Sr. (Richard Jenkins) is shown driving his new hearse through Los Angeles traffic in the opening moments of the series premiere. He dies in a collision with a crosstown bus just minutes later.
2. High school student Claire Fisher (Lauren Ambrose) drives a hand-me-down hearse. What color is it?

Answer: green

It's probably safe to assume that the hearse was black when it was being used by Fisher and Sons as an official vehicle, but Claire apparently opted to have it painted green.
3. David Fisher (Michael C. Hall) is a homosexual, but at the beginning of the season he has not yet revealed this fact to anyone in his family. When David's lover Keith (Mathew St. Patrick) unexpectedly shows up at Nathaniel's funeral, David quickly explains Keith's presence to his mother by claiming that he and Keith only know each other because they play a certain sport together. What sport is it?

Answer: racquetball

Keith, who is very much out of the closet, is more than a little hurt that David feels the need to lie about their relationship.
4. For the first few episodes of the season, David regularly attends a 'progressive' church with Keith. What is it called?

Answer: St. Stephen's

St. Stephen's apparently cultivates a welcome environment for parishioners of any and all lifestyles. Later in the season, David becomes a deacon at his mother's church, which isn't quite so open-minded a place.
5. Nate Fisher (Peter Krause) eventually learns that his girlfriend Brenda (Rachel Griffiths) was a child prodigy, and that her psychiatrist wrote a book about her. What is the first word of that book's title?

Answer: Charlotte

The book is called 'Charlotte, Light and Dark.'
6. Up until the final episode of the season, Brenda's brother Billy (Jeremy Sisto) had a name tattooed on the small of his back. What was it?

Answer: Isabel

As children, Brenda and Billy were very fond of a series of books chronicling the adventures of characters named Nathaniel and Isabel. Later in life, Billy got an 'Isabel' tattoo, while Brenda got a matching 'Nathaniel' tattoo. When Nate first saw Brenda's tattoo, he thought it was a reference to himself, and fairly freaked out. Billy had a freak-out of another kind entirely when he took it upon himself to excise his 'Isabel' tattoo with a knife. (How the hell he got his arms back there to do that with any accuracy is beyond me, though.)
7. Midway through the season, Rico Diaz (Freddy Rodriguez) is briefly employed by the Fishers' chief competitor, Kroehner International. While there, he learns that the mysterious arson incident that ended Kroehner's plan to set up shop across the street from the Fishers was actually engineered by Kroehner executive Matthew Gilardi (Garrison Hershberger). Finish the sentence spoken by Rico's co-worker that verifies this fact: 'What -- you never heard of __________ lightning?'

Answer: Jewish

A rather politically incorrect phrase indicating that Gilardi ordered the house torched as part of a scheme to collect insurance money.
8. During a chance encounter that Nate and Brenda have with David and Keith at a restaurant, David comes out to his brother rather unexpectedly. As Nate and Brenda leave the restaurant, Nate's shock wears off and the revelation sinks in. 'I think David's gay!' he says to Brenda. Finish her response: 'I think David's ________!'

Answer: lucky

Nate: 'I think David's gay!' Brenda: 'I think David's lucky! Did you *see* that guy?!' 'That guy,' of course, is Keith, whom Brenda clearly finds quite attractive.
9. In the episode 'Crossroads,' Nate finds himself seething with paranoia and jealousy when Brenda has an unexpected (and occasionally nude) houseguest. From what country does this man hail?

Answer: Australia

Nate's excessive drug use in this episode didn't do much to quell his paranoia, despite the fact that Brenda's relationship with her visitor is strictly platonic.
10. One of the photographs in Billy's gallery show features Nate as its subject. What is Nate doing in the picture?

Answer: urinating

Unbeknownst to Nate, Billy apparently followed him around during one of his daily three-mile runs, and snapped a photo or two as Nate stopped to urinate in an alley.
11. In 'The New Person,' Claire's boyfriend Gabriel Dimas (Eric Balfour) takes a road trip, ostensibly to meet with his father and ask him for money. To what city does he go?

Answer: Barstow

It's quickly revealed, though, that Gabe lied about the purpose of his trip: his father has actually been dead for over ten years.
12. Also in 'The New Person,' Ruth is furious that someone broke one of her prized crystal goblets without owning up to it. Nate and David immediately blame Angela (Illeana Douglas), Rico's replacement, as they've been trying to come up with a reason to fire her. Who actually broke the goblet?

Answer: Angela

Nate and David were just looking for a reason to paint Angela in a bad light so they could fire her without feeling bad about it, but they had no idea at the time that Angela really *was* the one who broke the goblet.
13. On her first day at Fisher and Sons, Angela apologizes to both Nate and David for being 'gassy' thanks to having eaten a certain food the night before. What did she eat?

Answer: calamari

Angela was superb at her craft, but impossible to be around due to her excessively inappropriate behavior.
14. It's revealed in 'A Private Life' that Brenda passed up the chance to go to college in order to stay home and take care of Billy, who had allegedly attempted suicide while she was away in Europe the summer after her senior year of high school. What college would Brenda have attended if not for this decision?

Answer: Yale

Brenda's mother (Joanna Cassidy) later admits that Billy never, in fact, tried to kill himself. Ouch.
15. When Nate, David, and Brenda attend the funeral directors' convention in Las Vegas, Brenda decides to have a little fun by pretending to be a woman named Jasmine Brecker. Brenda tells Nate that she has yet to decide what Jasmine's profession is, but she's narrowed it down to one of two possibilities. One is 'sexual surrogate.' What's the other?

Answer: Federal judge

Loves to play with people's heads, our Brenda.
16. By the end of the season, Keith has found himself a new lover after his break-up with David. What is this man's name?

Answer: Eddie

David, of course, is less than happy about this turn of events.
17. In the season finale, Nate learns that he has a congenital brain disorder called AVM. With whom does he share this information?

Answer: No one

Nate keeps this news to himself. Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is defined by www.webMD.com as 'a congenital disorder of the blood vessels in the brain where there is an abnormal connection between arteries and veins.' Nate's doctor tells him that having AVM puts him at a relatively high risk of having a stroke at any time.
18. David, in his role as a deacon, leaps to the defense of a priest who is accused of encouraging homosexuality, and possibly being gay. What is this priest's name?

Answer: Jack

At one point, an angry parishioner sends a fax that reads 'FATHER JACK IS GAY' to Fisher and Sons...but it turns out that everyone's assumptions (even David's) are wrong -- Jack is clearly very open-minded about homosexuality, but by his own admission to David, he is not gay.
19. Rico's wife has a baby near the end of the season. As of that moment, which of the following phrases accurately describes the number and gender(s) of children in the Diaz household?

Answer: two sons

Rico's sons are named Julio and Agosto.
20. All thirteen episodes of the first season open with a brief sequence in which a particular person dies, becoming the 'corpse of the week' at Fisher and Sons. How many of those thirteen dead people have been related to one or more of the regular or recurring characters?

Answer: 3

Nathaniel Fisher, patriarch of the Fisher family, meets his end in the series premiere. In episode 9, 'Life's Too Short,' the younger brother of Gabe Dimas accidentally kills himself with his mother's gun. In episode 13, 'Knock, Knock,' the aunt of David-obsessed pest Tracy Montrose Blair (Dina Spybey) is struck dead by an errant golf ball, of all things. Small world, huh?
