I'll Have What She's Having... (Part 2) Quiz

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Fill in the blank from this famous quote from the movie "Casablanca": "Of all the ___ ______ in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine".

Answer: gin joints

This line is from the movie "Casablanca" featuring Humphrey Bogart who played Rick Blaine as the owner of Rick's Caf� Am�ricain. The line was created by the Casablanca screenwriters - Julius J. Epstein, Philip G. Epstein and Howard Koch - after hearing Bogart say it in real life. According to Aljean Harmetz's behind‑the‑scenes history of the film, Bogart used the phrase casually while teaching Ingrid Bergman poker between takes, and the writers lifted it directly into the script because it fitted Rick's character so well.

2. To what did Tom Hanks compare life in the movie "Forrest Gump"?

Answer: A box of chocolates

The line was changed from the book - and the original wasn't sweet at all. In Winston Groom's 1986 novel, Forrest says "Bein' an idiot ain't no box of chocolates." Much harsher, much darker. Screenwriter Eric Roth rewrote it into the gentle, universal metaphor we know today.

3. Which two characters are famous for ordering in a diner "four fried chickens and a Coke" and "dry white toast" ?

Answer: Jake and Elwood in "The Blues Brothers"

Director John Landis has said that the line came from watching Belushi actually eat four whole fried chickens during production. Belushi was famous for enormous, chaotic meals, and the writers folded that real habit into Jake's character.

4. What food did Elliott place through the forest as a trail to lure E.T. back to his house?

Answer: Reese's Pieces

Screenwriter Melissa Mathison originally wrote the trail as M&M's, Spielberg's actual favorite candy. Mars (the M&M's parent company) refused because Spielberg wouldn't share the script - he was keeping E.T.'s design top‑secret. That single decision accidentally created one of the most successful product‑placement moments in movie history. Sales of Reese's Pieces more than tripled after the film's release, effectively rescuing the struggling competitor candy brand.

5. In "Bean: The Movie" (1997), Rowan Atkinson re-enacts a famous 1992 Christmas television skit for this US Thanksgiving comedy movie. Laughter erupts from the audience as Mr. Bean manages to get his head stuck inside the turkey while stuffing it. Which famous television show made a parody of it?

Answer: Friends

In Friends' Season 5, Episode 8 - "The One With All the Thanksgivings.", Joey puts a turkey on his head to scare Chandler. Later in the show, Monica puts a turkey on her head to try to make Chandler laugh it off. Both Mr. Bean and the Friends TV show used a prop turkey but Courteney Cox later tried a real turkey in 2020 and confirmed it was disgusting and nearly impossible.

6. The opening scene of the 1961 classic "Breakfast at Tiffany's" features Holly Golightly while she window‑shops outside Tiffany & Co. on Fifth Avenue. What is she eating while she sips on her coffee?

Answer: A croissant

Audrey Hepburn plays Holly Golightly. She stands outside Tiffany's in a black Givenchy evening gown, holding a white paper bag. Inside the bag is a croissant, which she nibbles while sipping coffee in a polystyrene cup. Multiple production sources, interviews, and film historians explicitly confirm it was a croissant, even though the pastry on screen looks a bit more like a generic Danish.

This is the only actual "breakfast at Tiffany's" shown in the entire film.

7. In the movie "Annie Hall", which animals escape causing pandemonium in the kitchen?

Answer: Lobsters

This classic scene in Annie Hall was largely improvised. Woody Allen and Diane Keaton were given only a rough outline: bring home live lobsters, try to cook them, chaos ensues. But the specific reactions - the shrieks, the laughter, the scrambling around the kitchen - were not scripted. The lobsters behaved unpredictably, and the actors just reacted in real time.

8. One of the first famous cooking scenes was in Charlie Chaplin's 1925 classic "The Gold Rush". What does he cook for his Thanksgiving dinner?

Answer: A leather boot

In the famous Thanksgiving scene, Chaplin's character boils a leather boot in a pot as if it were a gourmet meal because he is snowed into his cabin and is starving. He treats the laces like spaghetti, the eyelets like bones, and the sole like a fine cut of meat. The "boot" was actually made of liquorice so Chaplin could safely eat it during multiple takes.

9. In the classic movie "Airplane!" the pilot, co-pilot and navigator all eat the same food causing them to get sick and pass out, leaving only Ted Striker, a passenger, as the only person on board who could fly the plane. Which food did the flight crew eat that caused them to get sick?

Answer: Fish

The entire gag comes directly from a 1957 melodramatic disaster film called "Zero Hour!". The Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker team (ZAZ) found "Zero Hour!" while recording late‑night TV for sketch ideas. When they watched it, they were stunned to discover the line: "We have to find someone who not only can fly the plane, but who didn't have fish for dinner!".

They thought the line was so melodramatic - and so unintentionally funny - that it became the core setup for the entire food‑poisoning plot in "Airplane!".

They bought the rights to "Zero Hour!" and reused dialogue, plot structure, and even camera setups.

10. In the movie "Ratatouille", what two foods does Remy combine in the opening scene to demonstrate how flavors create "harmony" and "counterpoint"?

Answer: Cheese and strawberry

This moment is the film's first lesson in flavor pairing - and the spark that shows Remy thinks about food in a way no other rat does.
