What Lies Beneath Trivia Questions

1. Pfeiffer's character, Claire Spencer, has a daughter named Caitlin. When the movie opens, Caitlin is about to go off to college. During the first scene, Claire wakes her daughter up and offers to make her something for breakfast. What?

From Quiz
What Lies Beneath

Answer: waffles

This happens right after the movie opens with Claire in the bath tub. After her bath, Claire wakes Caitlin up and tells her to get moving because they "don't want to be late" (since they're dropping Caitlin off at school). Claire offers to make her some waffles, perhaps as an incentive to wake up faster. Caitlin grunts but then yells out "blueberries!" as Claire is walking down the hall, presumably towards the kitchen.

2. "...fashionably five minutes late!" Who says this after being told a dinner is in fact taking place that night, not in a week's time?

What a small world! At the dinner Claire and Norman met Norman's friend's new wife, who turns out to have known Claire years ago too.

Beatrice shakes Norman's hand while Claire is still trying to say goodbye to her daughter. Norman also tells Caitlin to "come home often" and to "call your mom". This takes place in Caitlin's dorm room, right before Claire and Norman leave, and Claire starts crying ("Well, I almost made it...").

7. "Sweetheart I've known this day was coming for a long time." Spoken within the first ten minutes of the movie.

11. What is Norman Spencer's job?

From Quiz What Lies Beneath

Answer: geneticist

We see him at work, and talking about work, throughout the entire movie. More pointedly, we see Claire and Norman in bed after dropping off Claire's daughter at school. Norman is typing away on his computer, and Claire reads the title of the book he has been reading: "Genetic Repair Mechanisms in Eukaryotic Organisms". Claire then praises him for being so brilliant, comparing him to Madame Curie and Jonas Salk.

12. While inadvertently listening to their neighbours having sex: "Think we can take them?"

From Quiz "What Lies Beneath" - Who Said What?

Answer: Norman

It was difficult to ascertain from the woman's screaming if (a) Mr. Fuer was pleasing her or (b) murdering her. Claire became suspicious later on when there was no trace of Mrs. Fuer (played by Miranda Otto before she was famous) and traces of blood on the Fuer's porch. Not to mention the ghost in the bathroom.

16. This woman was sobbing uncontrollably behind Claire's fence: "He's so...it's too much...I can't...I can't take it..."

Answer: Mary Fuer

Claire naturally took this to mean Mary was terrified of her husband. It turned out she just missed him.

19. How many windows does Claire check before she sees Warren staring at her?

From Quiz Another 'What Lies Beneath' Quiz

Claire can't find Warren, so she checks the other windows while spying on him, then in the downstairs window she sees him looking right at her! Very scary part.

20. What is Mary Feur actually afraid of?

From Quiz What Lies Beneath

Answer: her husband will leave her

When she speaks to Claire through the fence, Mary says she's afraid she "will just disappear". This leads Claire to believe that Mr. Feur wants his wife dead. In reality, Mary just meant she was afraid that her husband would leave and she would be emotionally destroyed.

21. "Honey, people argue, people fight, it's NOT OUR BUSINESS." Who said that in response to his/her spouse's claim that the neighbour murdered his wife?

Claire tried to convince her husband that Mr. Fuer had killed his wife.

A jump scene - where the dog comes into the bathroom!

This was one of the first mysterious happenings!

24. How many times does the picture break?

Answer: 2 & two & twice

The second time, Claire sees the article on the back about Madison.

25. When Claire first visits Norman in his lab, what are the research assistants using to sedate the mice?

From Quiz What Lies Beneath

Answer: halothane

Claire visits Norman for the first time right after the scene where her home stereo turns on by itself. We see Norman's lab assistants sedating a white mouse using a cotton ball soaked in halothane. One of the male assistants explains halothane is a "dissociative agent" because it "paralyzes motor functions" but leaves the mouse conscious. Moreover, it can be used "on all mammals". This is note-worthy information for the viewer, since Norman will use halothane on Claire later in the movie.

26. CLAIRE: [in response to a friend not believing she is okay] "Why does everyone find that so surprising?" "Because your only daughter just went away to college who you're extremely close with, and, I don't know, I'd be tripping." Who said that?

From Quiz "What Lies Beneath" - Who Said What?

Answer: Jody

Jody was such a great character. If they made a sequel I'm sure she would star this time.

27. Who did Norman murder?

From Quiz 'What Lies Beneath'

Answer: Madison Frank

Madison Elizabeth Frank was the student he had an affair with - and she happens to look almost exactly like his wife, Claire.

28. Which item did Claire find on the neighbor's porch?

From Quiz Do You Know 'What Lies Beneath'?

Answer: A blue shoe

Unfortunately, this was never explained in the movie!

29. Who opens the door when Claire and Jody are performing the seance?

From Quiz Another 'What Lies Beneath' Quiz

Answer: Cooper

They are so scared, but it turns out that Cooper the dog opens the door not a ghost.

30. Where did Claire and Norman live before moving to Vermont?

From Quiz What Lies Beneath

Answer: Boston

We find this out when Claire and Norman go out to dinner with Norman's co-worker, who shows up with his new date (who turns out to be, coincidentally, Claire's old music partner). Claire tells the story of how they inherited Norman's father's house in Vermont, and she mentions they lived in Boston before moving there. Soon thereafter, Norman announces the place is haunted, much to Claire's dismay.
