Breakfast At Tiffany's Trivia Questions

Answer: veterinarian

Specifically, he tells Paul that he's a "horse doctor, animal man".

Answer: Thursday

We find this out when Paul is about to make his phone call. He's talking about how he hopes the reason his "decorator" hasn't arrived yet isn't that he's gotten the day wrong. "This is...Thursday morning?" Holly replies, "Thursday?! Oh it simply can't be!"

Answer: He was her husband in the past.

The strange man was Holly's old husband. He was played by Buddy Ebsen, who was well-known for starring in the show, "The Beverly Hillbillies".

Answer: in the basket of fruit/flowers

"There you are, you sneak!"

Answer: cat

"Poor old cat. Poor slob. Poor slob without a name. The way I look at it, I don't have the right to give him one. We don't belong to each other. We just took up by the river one day." Holly said this to Paul.

Answer: 9

I can't imagine a woman who barely managed for herself and a cat could really spend her life raising nine Brazilian brats, but I suppose that was the point.

Answer: July 4th, 1955

"Their own precious mother, precious woman, passed on July 4th, 1955, the year of the drought." He says this when he's explaining to Paul that the children in the picture aren't Lulamae's "natural-born chi'ren."

Answer: gruesome

I always thought "gruesome" was a bizarre choice of words, but then again, Holly wasn't your average girl-next-door.

Answer: He was the 9th richest man in America under 50.

In the movie, Holly wanted to marry Rusty Trawler because he was the 9th richest man under 50 in the world. She ended up not marrying him because he married someone else.

Answer: perfume, lipstick, and a mirror

I always thought this was a very creative use of an apartment mailbox, at least if you don't get much mail.

Answer: fred

Holly decides to call him Fred because she says he looks like her brother.

Answer: bright green

She says this as she's explaining her future plans to Paul while they walk the streets of New York on what is supposed to be her last night in the country before heading to Rio. It seems as though she's trying to convince herself as much as Paul.

Answer: goin' on 14

No wonder she became a call girl, poor thing.

Answer: about 7 months

She says she's been going to see Sally for 7 months; as you now know from question three, "about a year" was how long she'd lived in her apartment.

Answer: Failenson

As for her first name, it's Louise. I had a hard time understanding her on the phone later when she refers to herself as what sounds like "Tooey". Turns out, according to the cast sheet, it's "2-E". I'm guessing that referenced is explained in the original novel by Truman Capote, but it's been awhile since I read it so I can't prove that!

Answer: Rusty Trawler

He's not at all attractive...Holly is just interested in the money.

Answer: Cat

Holly said that she found the cat, but she didn't have the right to name it until she found a place to settle and make her feel just like she does when she goes to Tiffany's.
