Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is the name of Joan's one-eyed cat?

Answer: Blanche

Joan introduces the cat to Keenan:

"That's Blanche, my better half."

"She only has one eye!"

"Yeah, but it's her good one."

As a side note, Cat is the name of Audrey Hepburn's cat in "Breakfast at Tiffany's."

2. Which of these is NOT a connection between the three sisters and their mother?

Answer: they all cook in the film

Only the mother and one daughter are actually seen cooking in the film. Joan has a cat, and Hannah, Meredith, and Gracie all have dogs. Also, if you listen carefully you'll notice that all four women use the term "anger ball."

3. Finish this quote: "No, Pottery Barn does 'not' include ____."

Answer: Williams Sonoma

Joan and her ex, Harry, have a long fight over the pay phone concerning who will keep all the junk they bought from various catalogs now that they've broken up. Joan ends up with her cat while Harry ends up with everything else.

4. Who said, "Don't look at me with that tone of voice"?

Answer: Paul

Paul says this to Hannah to try to make her start talking to him again after they have a fight about an affair he had 15 years ago.

5. What was the working title for "Playing By Heart"?

Answer: Dancing About Architecture

It makes sense, given that the first thing we hear is the conversation between Joan and Keenan in which Joan tells him, "Talking about love is like dancing about architecture." This runs during the opening credits and is repeated later in the film when we actually see the conversation.

6. Meredith stole Joan's car so that Joan would have an excuse to spend more time with Keenan. What kind of car was it?

Answer: VW Beetle

Later in the film, when Meredith finally meets Keenan, she references this event.

7. From what play is Joan's acting class monologue, about which she tells Keenan, "They devour him! In short, he's lunch"?

Answer: Suddenly Last Summer

She continues with, "And Katherine witnesses every course from soup to nuts." If you're interested in seeing the actual monologue, "Suddenly Last Summer," by Tennessee Williams, was made into a movie starring Elizabeth Taylor, Katherine Hepburn, and Montgomery Clift.

8. How does Joan respond to Keenan's, "You're terrific, sensational really, but I'm not right for you."?

Answer: She calls it "How to pierce a girl's heart in exactly ten words."

She even counts the words out on her fingers. Thankfully, they work everything out and the scene ends with a kiss.

9. Who says, "But if you're fishing, Mr. is my gender of choice."?

Answer: Meredith

And she chooses Trent, a.k.a. Jon Stewart of "The Daily Show" fame.

10. What was the tagline for the movie "Playing By Heart"?

Answer: "The sexy comedy with a twist."

The twist, for anyone who is wondering, is that all of the couples (who seem completely separate from each other) are actually connected. The women are all from the same family (a mother and her three daughters), and they all come together at a party in the end. I don't think the tagline is very interesting, but I guess it fits the movie.
