Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which line follows this George Bailey quote twice in the film 'I wish I had a million dollars!'?

Answer: 'Hot dog!'

George makes his wish upon a cigar lighter. He fails to get his wish both times...but learns at the end that his family is much more important than a million dollars.

2. Which character says 'George! You're not paid to be a canary!'?

Answer: Mr. Gower

Mr. Gower said this to George as a child when George was working and whistling happily at Gower's drugstore. Gower was drunk because he had just found out his son had died of influenza during the great outbreak of 1918. George later saves Gower from poisoning one of the patrons of his pharmacy.

3. Which character's trademark expression is 'hee-haw'?

Answer: Sam Wainwright

Sam says this while sticking his thumb in his ear.

Answer: Peter Bailey

George Bailey acquires his philosophy via his father's wonderful altruistic vision.

5. In the meeting regarding the building and loan, following Pa Bailey's death, what does George Bailey call Mr. Potter in his diatribe?

Answer: A warped, frustrated old man

Potter finds relish returning this line back to George later in the film after George is forced to crawl back to Potter in order to beg for help!

6. 'Oh, boy, oh boy, oh boy. I feel so good I could spit in Potter's eye. I think I will.' Which drunken character delivers this quote?

Answer: Uncle Billy

Uncle Billy says this to George at a party right before George goes to call on Mary.

7. What is Mary's response when her mother asks why George has come calling?

Answer: He's making violent love to me, mother!

Quite a risque quote for 1946, in my humble opinion!

8. Which character refers to George as his 'best friend'?

Answer: Mr. Martini

In the version of reality where George doesn't exist, Mr. Martini doesn't appear in town... George is so important, people owe their very existence to him!

9. 'One man's life touches so many others, when he's not there it leaves an awfully big hole.' Which character utters this profound comment?

Answer: Clarence, the angel

Clarence isn't the most intelligent man, but he seems to understand the important things.

10. 'I've been saving this money for a divorce, if ever I get a husband.' Who says this, while emptying her savings on George's behalf near the end of the film?

Answer: Annie, the maid

One of the more amusing lines of the film, in my opinion!
