Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Where did Peter first meet Charlene?

Answer: chat room

Peter (played by the hilarious Steve Martin) was recently divorced from his wife, Kate, and he was very lonely. He went to a legal chat room and talked with Charlene, whom he set up a date with at his house. However, the picture he received of her was misleading and Peter was expecting a blonde.
2. Why was Charlene in jail?

Answer: armed robbery

Charlene's boyfriend, Widow, set her up by dressing up in a wig and dress and leaving the clothes at the site where he robbed the bank. Charlene was arrested and thrown in jail for 4 years before she was broken out. She wanted Peter to help her prove her innocence.
3. What was the name of Peter's neighbor, who lived across the street?

Answer: Mrs. Kline

Mrs. Kline, played by the talented Betty White, was the older woman who lived across the street from Peter. She was very racist and also happened to be the sister of Peter's boss. She always invited Peter's son, George, over to play bridge with her girlfriends on Wednesdays.
4. What was the name of the guy Kate Sanderson went away with for the weekend?

Answer: Glen

Obviously lonely after her divorce from Peter, Kate (played by one of my favorite actresses, Jean Smart) went on a weekend trip with Glen, a golf instructor. Kate also mentioned that Glen caddied for Peter when Glen was 14 years old. Peter was obviously a little upset about this, but his phone rang, interrupting their conversation. Kate walked away in a huff.
5. Mrs. Arness earned all of her money.

Answer: false

Mrs. Arness, played by Joan Plowright, had very rich parents when she was younger and when she came of age, she inherited all the money. Peter mentioned to Mrs. Arness that she must have worked hard for her money and she responded "I'm an heiress." A 74 year old snobby busybody, she also had a dog named William Shakespeare whom she treated like a son and allowed to sit at the table.
6. Who said, "And I don't ever want to have this conversation, again!"

Answer: Charlene

Ashley, Kate's nasty sister (played by Missi Pyle), kept calling Charlene derogatory names like "Jemima". Charlene dealt with it for a while and then lost it. She followed Ashley into the bathroom and the two women fought. At the end, Charlene won and hung Ashley by her bathingsuit on the door before she said this line. Ashley was later seen with a black eye and explained that she was hit by a car but wouldn't go to the police because she was jaywalking.
7. What was Charlene's nickname for Howie, Peter's assistant?

Answer: Freakboy

When Howie first saw Charlene, he instantly fell for her. He acted stange around her and Charlene told him "Boy, you are some kind of freaky." Then, the name kind of stuck and she called him that for the rest of the movie. Howie, in turn, called Charlene "Cocoa goddess."
8. Kate was jealous after seeing Peter dancing with Charlene at a restaurant.

Answer: true

After seeing Peter and Charlene dancing, Kate got upset and started crying about how it was her fault she and Peter got divorced. Ashley, eating with Kate at the restaurant, tried to get Kate to stop blaming herself. The next day, Peter drove by Kate's house and the two talked. Peter mentioned that he was having a good time with the kids and Kate said "Glad you're having fun with her...them." Before they could finish their conversation, Peter's phone rang again.
9. Where did Charlene have to pick up Peter's daughter, Sarah?

Answer: a party

Sarah had been hanging out with the wrong kids at school and went to a party where kids were drinking and doing drugs. After a guy got rough with her, she got scared and called Charlene. Charlene came and hung the guy upside down by his feet and forced him to apologize.
10. Who set-up Charlene so that she'd go to jail?

Answer: her boyfriend

Charlene's boyfriend, Widow, tried to get Peter to drop the case with Charlene by holding a gun to him. Peter realized that Widow had to be involved or else he wouldn't have done that, so the two made plans to get Charlene free of charges.
11. What was the name of the club that Charlene said a lot of people in her neighborhood hung out at?

Answer: the Downlow

Charlene mentioned that the club was in a bad area of town and that a white man at this club was either "a cop, a corpse, or a crackhead." But Peter still decided to go there and pretended to be a gangster. He ended up getting a confession out of Widow by recording it on a tape without Widow suspecting.
12. What did Sarah give Charlene when she left the house?

Answer: Peter's cellphone

After Mrs. Arness saw Charlene on the news for breaking out of jail, Charlene left the house so Arness couldn't get her arrested again. After Peter found out Charlene was innocent, he wanted to get in touch but he didn't know how. Sarah mentioned that she gave Charlene his cellphone and Peter freaked out for a second before he said "Good idea."
13. When Charlene was at the club, she got shot and was killed.

Answer: false

After Widow brought Peter out of the room in the Downlow, Charlene and Widow started to fight for the gun. Widow grabbed it and shot Charlene before she could get away. For a few minutes, it seemed like she was dead, but the bullet only hit Peter's titanium cellphone she kept in her chest.
14. Where did Peter start his own law firm?

Answer: in a rented house

At the end, Peter was sick of his old office and wanted to get a fresh start. After the whole fiasco at the Downlow, Mrs. Arness would only work for Peter so he had a good start to his business. Howie also left to be Peter's assistant.
15. Peter and Kate got back together at the end of the movie.

Answer: true

Kate came to visit Peter at his new office and Peter introduced Charlene as a friend. Kate was impressed with Peter helping Charlene and Peter admitted that he missed her. In the middle of their conversation, Peter's cellphone rang once again but he threw it out the window and the two kissed.
