Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who did Sam say he was being treated by?

Answer: dermatologist

He said that he told her he had a patch of dry skin on his back and they spent all night looking for it. He also said they found it four times.

2. Who took over Melville's?

Answer: John Allen Hill

John Allen Hill was played by Keene Curtis. Curtis was born in 1923 and died from Alzheimer's in 2002 at age 79.

3. What gift did the owner of Melville's give Sam?

Answer: a welcome mat

Sam said his customers didn't really use welcome mats. Hill said it was for his customers, he wanted them to wipe their feet before coming upstairs.

4. What did Norm tell the couple sitting at the bar he did?

Answer: I sit there.

The couple was sitting at Norm and Cliff's usual bar seats. Norm explained that he'd been sitting there for years, "really since the Ford Administration" he told them.

5. Who was the Norm-like character?

Answer: Bradley

When he walked in the bar and said "ciao gang" they responded with "Bradley!" He was waiting to go to Melville's, but it was almost like a parallel world had been created.

6. What did the new owner do that upset Sam?

Answer: towed his corvette

Sam had parked in Hill's parking spot, so Hill had him towed. He towed it again later because Sam parked in a no-parking zone. He told Sam, "I don't make the laws, I only notify the authorities when they're broken."

7. Who had a brick wall put up?

Answer: The owner of Melville's

The owner put a brick wall up separating the main bar from the bathrooms and pool rooms because legally he owned those rooms. Sam said, "This isn't right".

8. What do the gang bet on?

Answer: When Sam would lose it

Sam was starting to act crazy trying to get back at Hill, but nothing he did seemed to affect Hill. He tried to set the mat Hill gave him on fire but it wouldn't burn. So, he decided it was a good mat and took it home replacing it with his cheap mat. He said Hill would have to replace it every month (Sam had to pay rent on the bathrooms and pool room every month).

9. What did Sam say he was going to write on the memo part of the check each month?

Answer: You're not God.

Sam made this big speech to Hill about how he couldn't be beaten. Then he called him God. Hill said instead of paying rent each month, Sam just had to make that speech again. Sam said he'd write a check each month and in the memo write "You're not God."

10. Who won the bet?

Answer: John

Sam said he was going crazy and they gang decided that means he officially had lost it. Sam was angry that Hill got paid to make him insane.
