Question 1 of 10

1. GATSBY: Well, Linkan, it's shopping day today.

LINKAN: Goody! I love Denzel Washington movies.

GATSBY: That's "Training Day". We're actually going shopping! What? You want to stop over there first?

LINKAN: Yes. I need some perfume. Did I ever tell you what my favorite scent is?

GATSBY: The aroma of money, isn't it? OK. I actually know you adore 'White Diamonds' from the Liz Taylor collection. Whatever floats your boat. Yikes, the woman was married to 8 different men!

LINKAN: WRONG! 8 marriages, 7 men (she took on Richard Burton twice). They all ended up in divorce except for one. Who was la Liz married to that never ended in divorce court? Hint

Larry Fortensky. He's a construction worker (now in poor health) from whom she is still legally separated.

Mike Todd. He died in an airplane crash which devastated Taylor, even though the romance had been rocky at best.

Nicky Hilton. After a life of excess he committed suicide during their first year of marriage.

Eddie Fisher. It seems that somehow his split with Debbie Reynolds wasn't completed entirely and his quickie marriage to Liz wasn't legal. By the time it was they were no longer together, anyway.

Question 2 of 10

2. GATSBY: Let's go to the mall. I'm thirsty.

LINKAN: I could use a whistle wetter myself. What are you thirsty for?

GATSBY: I'm a coffee man. You're just getting water, Linkan?

LINKAN: Yeah. Most other beverages tear up my stomach. And, if you're going on a caffeine buzz, I need to stay alert. Once you start bouncing off the walls I'd better be ready to catch you, yes?

GATSBY: Good point. *Gatsby's eyes bug out a little*

LINKAN: Do you know which French sparkling water was selling one billion bottles a year in 2013? Hint

Dasani

Crystal Light

Evian

Perrier

NEXT>

Question 3 of 10

3. GATSBY: Don't even look at that candy store, Linkan! Not yet. We're going to my favorite store now.

LINKAN: Where's that? "Cheap Guys"? Sorry, Gats, I just had to take a whack at you.

GATSBY: That's fine. I'm quite used to it now. And I'm frugal, not cheap. Can I borrow ten bucks? We're at the bookstore now and I have no control.

LINKAN: Absolutely not. You go off to your Drama and Poetry sections. I need to replace a volume of my Laura Ingalls Wilder set.

GATSBY: Argh. I need more coffee. Which of these books was NOT written by Ms. Wilder? I'll bet my buddy Linkan knows. Hint

Farmer Boy

Little Town On The Prairie

Little House In The Big Woods

Farmer Girl

NEXT>

Question 4 of 10

4. LINKAN: We pass through the food court. Now I'm getting hungry for a snack! It smells so good!

GATSBY: Lunch time nears but maybe we could use a bite. By the way, why am I carrying all the stuff you bought? I should have brought a wheelbarrow.

LINKAN: My job is to buy. Yours is to carry. It's just the natural assignment of things. Oooh! There is a Japanese place over there. Can we stop? Please say yes!

GATSBY: All right. We'll stop and get a nibble. I know you like those Sushi Spring Rolls. Blech. Raw fish?

LINKAN: But they serve them up so nicely and they taste SO good. They even give you chopsticks!

GATSBY: Good enough, Miss Linkan-Chan. But I'll bet you don't know what is considered poor etiquette at a Japanese table while using chopsticks, do you? Hint

Picking up a cup with the same hand you are holding the sticks with.

Using hand gestures while having a chopstick in the hand you are gesturing with.

Cleaning out your ears with the spare one. Cleaning your ears at all at the table is frowned upon. (Tip: this is NOT the answer I'm looking for!)

Juggling your chopsticks in a clever display. Only American/Japanese waiters do that.

Question 5 of 10

5. GATSBY: Good grief! Now you want to go shopping for a skirt? I hate the Lady's department!

LINKAN: Shop with me and take your chances, Gats. Macy's is right here and I can't ignore it. It's my favorite store (especially right after Christmas - the sales are wonderful).

GATSBY: Just don't go looking for undergarments, OK? Everybody looks at me funny when I find myself in that department. I'll just divert myself with other stuff about Macy's. Like the Thanksgiving Parade.

LINKAN: (singing) "Makin' a list, checkin' it twice - gonna find out who's naughty or nice..."

GATSBY: And we almost got through the morning with no singing! I should have known it was short-lived. As for the parade, Linkan - who was the first massive helium balloon character who was featured in it? Way back in 1927 in New York City? Hint

Felix The Cat

Mickey Mouse

Betty Boop

Holmbsby Earthworm

NEXT>

Question 6 of 10

6. LINKAN: I'm starving! Can we get lunch now?

GATSBY: Man, you get hungry a lot. All right, let's hit the Food Court again...

LINKAN: I know just what I'm hungry for. There's an Italian place over there and I'm going to get my favorite. Fettucini Alfredo! Yum!

GATSBY: I'll watch our stuff. By the way, hungry lady, did you know the origin of fettucini is another word for 'tapeworm' in old Italian?

LINKAN: Yuk, Gats! Are you trying to make me lose my appetite?

GATSBY: That'd be an impossible task. Just kidding - but is my fettucini statement true or false?

True

False

NEXT>

Question 7 of 10

7. LINKAN: You got an order of large fries from McDonald's! Good choice! My favorite thing. Can I have one?

GATSBY: Sure. Just don't sue me if you choke on it.

LINKAN: McDonald's gets sued a lot these days. A case I heard about just made me giggle - did you hear about it, Gats?

GATSBY: I think I did. Refresh my memory on it will you?

LINKAN: Eventually. First you tell me what the class action suit dealt with, OK? Hint

A 59 year old woman went through the drive-thru and got a chocolate shake. She put it in her lap and it spilled. The dry cleaning duress and the mental anguish amounted to a 3 million dollar lawsuit.

One lawsuit involved a teenaged employee at McDonald's. He got a cold because, allegedly, a customer sneezed on him. His parents went on a rampage, insisting that face masks should be issued to all employees.

A young mother took her daughter to the place and Ronald McDonald was there and the kid was traumautized by him. Mom sued. She lost. They were all enjoying Happy Meals the next month.

A fellow got quite miffed in New York because his health was poor and he was obese. He held McDonald's responsible! And some other fast food places were named in the suit, too.

Question 8 of 10

8. GATSBY: I need some cigarettes. Let's pop into the drugstore.

LINKAN: What a disgusting habit! But, OK. I'll pick up some candy bars for the week.

GATSBY: And candy bars are a good habit? Well, never mind.

LINKAN: I see you are buying the most popular brand of candy bar.

GATSBY: A Snickers bar works for me. Now and then, though. You are loading up on Pay Day, Three Musketeers and Sno-Caps! Some sweet tooth you must have.

LINKAN: I have lunches to pack!

GATSBY: Yeah, right. You have a belly to fill. Yours! I'm onto you, Linkan! However, what was the candy bar 'Snickers' named after? Hint

The inventor's wife, as she talked/mumbled in her sleep. Hubby snickered upon listening.

A silent movie character

A child's nickname

A horse

NEXT>

Question 9 of 10

9. GATSBY: Yikes! We certainly sped past the music store, Linkan!

LINKAN: I've no time to listen to music. I have movies to watch and quizzes to edit.

GATSBY: And candy bars to eat. And things to pack. OK. You're a busy one. So you want to go over to FYE. Adding to your movie collection, eh? It must be enormous by now.

LINKAN: Always room for another good one!

GATSBY: You're wanting that biopic about that fellow Raymond Robinson, aren't you?

LINKAN: Who the heck is he?

GATSBY: That was his birth name.

LINKAN: Now I don't know what movie you are talking about! What biographical film is about Ray Robinson, Gats? Hint

Rain Man

Ray

Bird

Somebody Up There Likes Me

NEXT>

Question 10 of 10

10. GATSBY: Let's load up and go home. It's been a fun day.

LINKAN: Even though I'd only admit it here you, too, are pretty good company, Gats!

GATSBY: A backhanded compliment is better than none, I reckon. You still want to stop at Applebee's on the way to your new house?

LINKAN: Yes. They have a 'Blue Ribbon Brownie' waiting for me. I love those!

GATSBY: Yikes. All this chocolate and pastry! Since we like cinema so much I was wondering if you ever saw the movie I caught last night. Sandra Bullock drunk and falling into an otherwise beautiful wedding cake?

LINKAN: I surely know that one. Things got worse when she crashed a limousine into a house! Let's see if anyone knows which film we're talking about? Hint

Speed 2

Miss Congeniality

Divine Secrets Of The Ya-Ya Sisterhood

28 Days

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. GATSBY: Well, Linkan, it's shopping day today. LINKAN: Goody! I love Denzel Washington movies. GATSBY: That's "Training Day". We're actually going shopping! What? You want to stop over there first? LINKAN: Yes. I need some perfume. Did I ever tell you what my favorite scent is? GATSBY: The aroma of money, isn't it? OK. I actually know you adore 'White Diamonds' from the Liz Taylor collection. Whatever floats your boat. Yikes, the woman was married to 8 different men! LINKAN: WRONG! 8 marriages, 7 men (she took on Richard Burton twice). They all ended up in divorce except for one. Who was la Liz married to that never ended in divorce court?

Answer: Mike Todd. He died in an airplane crash which devastated Taylor, even though the romance had been rocky at best.

LINKAN: The others not mentioned were Michael Wilding, Richard Burton (twice) - whoops, I guess he was mentioned - & John Warner. Poor Liz. Unlucky in love.

GATSBY: Thanks for sharing, Linkan, but it sounds to me like she only liked attending her own weddings.

LINKAN: Live it up if you can!

GATSBY: Roll down your window, Linkan. Gosh, did you have to sample everything in that store? Air yourself out a bit, please.

LINKAN: I'm thinking you should have taken a walk down the Men's aisle, Gats. PU to you, too!

2. GATSBY: Let's go to the mall. I'm thirsty. LINKAN: I could use a whistle wetter myself. What are you thirsty for? GATSBY: I'm a coffee man. You're just getting water, Linkan? LINKAN: Yeah. Most other beverages tear up my stomach. And, if you're going on a caffeine buzz, I need to stay alert. Once you start bouncing off the walls I'd better be ready to catch you, yes? GATSBY: Good point. *Gatsby's eyes bug out a little* LINKAN: Do you know which French sparkling water was selling one billion bottles a year in 2013?

Answer: Perrier

GATSBY: Dang. I like Evian on my rare health-oriented days.

LINKAN: Perrier has been really successful for a long time. They hope to sell two billion bottles per year really soon. They were actually bought out by the Nestle company.

GATSBY: Alas. I guess the days of milk and beer are behind us. Now I'm hungry!

LINKAN: My goodness, you've guzzled down four cups of coffee! We have a few stores to hit before lunch...

3. GATSBY: Don't even look at that candy store, Linkan! Not yet. We're going to my favorite store now. LINKAN: Where's that? "Cheap Guys"? Sorry, Gats, I just had to take a whack at you. GATSBY: That's fine. I'm quite used to it now. And I'm frugal, not cheap. Can I borrow ten bucks? We're at the bookstore now and I have no control. LINKAN: Absolutely not. You go off to your Drama and Poetry sections. I need to replace a volume of my Laura Ingalls Wilder set. GATSBY: Argh. I need more coffee. Which of these books was NOT written by Ms. Wilder? I'll bet my buddy Linkan knows.

Answer: Farmer Girl

GATSBY: OK, they were "girl's" books but I liked them, anyway. I didn't care for the TV show about them, though. Nothing ever works out so happy. Every week. Episode after episode.

LINKAN: Such a sour side you have, Gats! The books made every young person believe in hope and strength.

GATSBY: Well I do know one little thing about Wilder's series of books. She took two years off from writing them. Newberry Award winning writer Cynthia Rylant wrote her own book imagining what those two years offered the Wilder family.

LINKAN: Based on her memoirs, right?

GATSBY: Yep. Grasshopper plagues beseiged them. Super Laura saved the day and made sure Pa had a place to fiddle. She was a hearty sort. Much like you, Linkan, on a good day.

LINKAN: I wonder why there was no "Farmer Girl" book?

GATSBY: Let's just say she might have had a personal problem with grasshoppers, shall we?

4. LINKAN: We pass through the food court. Now I'm getting hungry for a snack! It smells so good! GATSBY: Lunch time nears but maybe we could use a bite. By the way, why am I carrying all the stuff you bought? I should have brought a wheelbarrow. LINKAN: My job is to buy. Yours is to carry. It's just the natural assignment of things. Oooh! There is a Japanese place over there. Can we stop? Please say yes! GATSBY: All right. We'll stop and get a nibble. I know you like those Sushi Spring Rolls. Blech. Raw fish? LINKAN: But they serve them up so nicely and they taste SO good. They even give you chopsticks! GATSBY: Good enough, Miss Linkan-Chan. But I'll bet you don't know what is considered poor etiquette at a Japanese table while using chopsticks, do you?

Answer: Picking up a cup with the same hand you are holding the sticks with.

LINKAN: Ahhh. Good to the last drop.

GATSBY: You did another rude thing there, Linkan. At a Japanese table, according to custom, no one should ever suck on their chopsticks. It is bad form.

LINKAN: Good to the last drop! Forget politeness. We're in The USA, not Peking! How was your egg roll?

GATSBY: Chopstick-free, thanks. Fingers were made before all that other stuff. And Peking is in China - but the same table manners apply.

LINKAN: So it's OK to stick a chopstick in your ear?

GATSBY: I knew you'd ask me that. Sticking eating utensils in your ear is pretty gauche in any culture!

5. GATSBY: Good grief! Now you want to go shopping for a skirt? I hate the Lady's department! LINKAN: Shop with me and take your chances, Gats. Macy's is right here and I can't ignore it. It's my favorite store (especially right after Christmas - the sales are wonderful). GATSBY: Just don't go looking for undergarments, OK? Everybody looks at me funny when I find myself in that department. I'll just divert myself with other stuff about Macy's. Like the Thanksgiving Parade. LINKAN: (singing) "Makin' a list, checkin' it twice - gonna find out who's naughty or nice..." GATSBY: And we almost got through the morning with no singing! I should have known it was short-lived. As for the parade, Linkan - who was the first massive helium balloon character who was featured in it? Way back in 1927 in New York City?

Answer: Felix The Cat

LINKAN: Who is Holmbsby Earthworm?

GATSBY: Nothing. I just made him up. Felix was the first cartoon character to appear on the streets of New York that year. The parade began pretty simply. Immigrants to the U.S. were proud to be here, and many worked at Macy's as they arrived. On their day off they took to the streets to celebrate their European roots AND their new American citizenry. It has grown from there.

LINKAN: Yeah, yeah. Whatever. Do you like this brown one or the grey skirt? Which one suits me best?

GATSBY: No way to win there. Can we go to Home Depot next?

6. LINKAN: I'm starving! Can we get lunch now? GATSBY: Man, you get hungry a lot. All right, let's hit the Food Court again... LINKAN: I know just what I'm hungry for. There's an Italian place over there and I'm going to get my favorite. Fettucini Alfredo! Yum! GATSBY: I'll watch our stuff. By the way, hungry lady, did you know the origin of fettucini is another word for 'tapeworm' in old Italian? LINKAN: Yuk, Gats! Are you trying to make me lose my appetite? GATSBY: That'd be an impossible task. Just kidding - but is my fettucini statement true or false?

Answer: False

*LINKAN returns*

GATSBY: Wow. Those "tapeworms" smell good.

LINKAN: Even though I feel like I'm eating parasites now fettucini comes from 'fettucia'. It means ribbons.

GATSBY: That sounds more appetizing I suppose. I'm going over there to get a bite.

LINKAN: Ever wonder what THAT food is made of? Being genteel I won't turn your stomach. You, my friend, should have such manners. Hurry along! *Linkan begins picking her teeth at the table*

7. LINKAN: You got an order of large fries from McDonald's! Good choice! My favorite thing. Can I have one? GATSBY: Sure. Just don't sue me if you choke on it. LINKAN: McDonald's gets sued a lot these days. A case I heard about just made me giggle - did you hear about it, Gats? GATSBY: I think I did. Refresh my memory on it will you? LINKAN: Eventually. First you tell me what the class action suit dealt with, OK?

Answer: A fellow got quite miffed in New York because his health was poor and he was obese. He held McDonald's responsible! And some other fast food places were named in the suit, too.

GATSBY: Jeesh. No one forced him to pull in some five times a week for years and years. He was 56 years old, for Heaven's sake! Things start to spread out a bit at that age if you don't exercise now and then.

LINKAN: The problem is that these civil suits get everyone money hungry. They all jump on the bandwagon. Can I have another fry? By the way, you tricked me on the milkshake answer.

GATSBY: Sorry. That one was actually about steaming coffee spilt on her lap. Yikes! It was her lap, her car, her coffee, after all.

LINKAN: I'm taking another fry. So gently salty they are.

GATSBY: WHAT? I ordered them with no salt. Can I borrow your cell phone? I need to call my lawyer. This is abuse if I ever had a sniff of it!

LINKAN: Calm down, Gats.

GATSBY: Incidentally, the aforementioned fellow also included Burger King, Kentucky Fried Chicken & Wendy's in his litigation.

LINKAN: Gosh! I'll bet his stove at home is in mint condition, seeing as how he never uses it and all.

8. GATSBY: I need some cigarettes. Let's pop into the drugstore. LINKAN: What a disgusting habit! But, OK. I'll pick up some candy bars for the week. GATSBY: And candy bars are a good habit? Well, never mind. LINKAN: I see you are buying the most popular brand of candy bar. GATSBY: A Snickers bar works for me. Now and then, though. You are loading up on Pay Day, Three Musketeers and Sno-Caps! Some sweet tooth you must have. LINKAN: I have lunches to pack! GATSBY: Yeah, right. You have a belly to fill. Yours! I'm onto you, Linkan! However, what was the candy bar 'Snickers' named after?

Answer: A horse

LINKAN: A horse is a horse, of course of course!

GATSBY: Yes, The Mars family had a horse by the name "Snickers".

LINKAN: I'm especially fond of Idaho Spuds. Hard to find. They are delicious!

GATSBY: Potato candy? Ugh! Doesn't sound so good to me.

LINKAN: No! It's candy! Just shaped like potatoes.

GATSBY: I'll stick with my Snickers. You may be as creative as you wish.

9. GATSBY: Yikes! We certainly sped past the music store, Linkan! LINKAN: I've no time to listen to music. I have movies to watch and quizzes to edit. GATSBY: And candy bars to eat. And things to pack. OK. You're a busy one. So you want to go over to FYE. Adding to your movie collection, eh? It must be enormous by now. LINKAN: Always room for another good one! GATSBY: You're wanting that biopic about that fellow Raymond Robinson, aren't you? LINKAN: Who the heck is he? GATSBY: That was his birth name. LINKAN: Now I don't know what movie you are talking about! What biographical film is about Ray Robinson, Gats?

Answer: Ray

GATSBY: He was born Ray Charles Robinson in Georgia in 1930. He dropped the Robinson part for one specific reason, Linky.

LINKAN: Linky? Where'd that come from? Call me that again and I'll have to hurt you. I'm sure you're going to tell me why he changed his name.

GATSBY: I will. He didn't want to be confused with boxer Sugar Ray Robinson. How anyone could confuse the two is beyond me but Ray thought it might happen. He passed away in 2004.

LINKAN: *weeping* But he will never ever be gone. A rebirth at the Academy Awards in '05 will keep him remembered. Jamie Foxx did him total justice. I definitely need to have the flick "Ray" in my library.

10. GATSBY: Let's load up and go home. It's been a fun day. LINKAN: Even though I'd only admit it here you, too, are pretty good company, Gats! GATSBY: A backhanded compliment is better than none, I reckon. You still want to stop at Applebee's on the way to your new house? LINKAN: Yes. They have a 'Blue Ribbon Brownie' waiting for me. I love those! GATSBY: Yikes. All this chocolate and pastry! Since we like cinema so much I was wondering if you ever saw the movie I caught last night. Sandra Bullock drunk and falling into an otherwise beautiful wedding cake? LINKAN: I surely know that one. Things got worse when she crashed a limousine into a house! Let's see if anyone knows which film we're talking about?

Answer: 28 Days

GATSBY: Pretty fun flick, Linkan. It almost made rehab look fun. Bullock was up for an Oscar for that one, wasn't she?

LINKAN: Gats, don't be silly. Sandra was not up for an Oscar for that role. Her job is to just make us happy and giggle now and then. Just like this brownie!

GATSBY: I sure hope your dentist visit budget is enormous! It does look pretty tasty, though. I had a great time with you, buddy! You're well fed and have some new stuff so I imagine you're happy, too.

LINKAN: Too bad the best things in life aren't free.

GATSBY: Our time together was. Mostly. All right, all right! I'll tote this cargo to your door...

LINKAN: *Singing 'Whistle While You Work'*

GATSBY: Lord have mercy. (Gatsby gives Linkan a kiss on the cheek as he goes).
