Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Clara asks July to work for her after he gets back from seeing Ellie, and July says no.

Answer: False

When July comes back to Clara's ranch after Ellie takes off for St. Louis with the two buffalo hunters, Clara offers him a job to work with her horses, and be with his son. He accepts.
2. The cattle drive reaches the outskirts of Ogallala. Call, Gus and company go into town to buy supplies. The Army is looking for horses. Whose horse do they try and requisition?

Answer: Dish's

Dish loves his horse and doesn't want to part with it. That would be understandable after a few thousand miles!
3. When the Army scout starts whipping Dish and Newt, to let go of Dish's horse, what happens?

Answer: Call comes to their rescue and almost kills the Army scout.

When Call sees Newt, especially, getting whipped, his fury is amazingly quick and precise. He is so relentless in his desire to find every conceivable way to do damage to that scout. Gus has to lasso him to stop him. Then, Call apologizes to the crowd saying that he doesn't like rude behavior in a man, and won't tolerate it.
4. When Newt and his friends go to the brothel/whorehouse, what are the names of the two women who greet them?

Answer: The Buffalo Heifer and Mary

The boys don't know what to expect and had to get pretty drunk first. Not all of them could handle it either. Pretty scary that Buffalo Heifer.
5. Why is Clara's husband in bed?

Answer: He got kicked in the head by a horse.

Clara has had her share of tragedy. She has already lost her three sons. She is a very tough and wise woman for her time.
6. When Gus and company ride up to Clara's ranch, Clara runs up to Gus and gives him a huge kiss on the lips.

Answer: True

Her children can't believe such a kiss. Laurie feels uncomfortable. Everybody watches this and Clara asks for forgiveness and explains that she and Gus were sweethearts once.
7. When Clara takes everyone on a picnic and she and Gus have time alone, what does Clara say she wishes Gus had been to her?

Answer: A friend

She wanted and fantasized about him being nearby to be a friend to her with all she has been through. Gus didn't think that it would be proper with her being a married woman, but she didn't think being a friend would have been so wrong.
8. Laurie is invited by Clara and her girls to stay with them, instead of going up to Montana, but she goes with Gus to Montana.

Answer: False

What a huge decision this is, and she can't resist staying in such a beautiful home, instead of going with Gus and company up to Montana. This very hard to take when you watch the movie again, knowing what happens to Gus.
9. Clara takes Gus upstairs to see her husband, Bob, who is near death. Gus asks Clara for a what?

Answer: A kiss

He gets a kiss and then a speech from Clara about marriage and her lack of respect for men, because she thinks they are dishonest. Gus says he's about half-honest.
10. When the cattle are being driven through the 80 miles of desert, there is very little water. Who drinks his share when everyone else passes the cup?

Answer: Lippy

I'm surprised that no one died from heat exhaustion in this part of the trip.
11. When Gus and Pea Eye go to scout up in Yellowstone, they encounter a herd of buffalo. Gus wants to do what to the buffalo?

Answer: Chase them

Gus's last bit of true fun, then he is literally running for his life!
12. After Gus gets hit by the arrows in the leg, and he and Pea Eye are down in the riverbed trying to protect themselves from the indians, Gus asks Pea Eye to go get help. He wants Call to what?

Answer: "Come a runnin'."

It's a tall order for Pea Eye to be the one to go get help. Gus has no one else and Pea Eye must come through.
13. The next day, Gus wakes up to a sunny day with no indians and decides to try and walk. However, he falls and passes out. A man named Old Hugh finds him and helps him up onto a horse. Where do they go?

Answer: Miles City

Gus could have died so easily if someone hadn't come along. When Hugh asks him where he's from, he says, "A little fart of a town called Lonesome Dove." Hugh responds, "You're a travellin' son-of-a-bitch, ain't ya." For which Gus replies, "Was, I'm afraid."
14. Meanwhile, Pea Eye is trying to make it back to Call and company. He is weak, confused, barefoot, no food, little water and gets so out-of-it that he forgets his direction and lays in the grass. Who's ghost comes to his rescue?

Answer: Deet's ghost

Pea Eye truly believes that Deets shows him the way back to the herd. This is a special, supernatural, and soulful element in the story. When Call asks where Gus is, Pea Eye asks, "Where's Deets?"
15. Two men coming out of a saloon find Gus passed out on horseback in Miles City. They soon discover that Gus has a bad leg and is ill. Gus is next seen where and with whom?

Answer: In a bed with a sleeping doctor at his bedside.

Gus wakes up and pulls the sheet off to see that the bloody stump of the one bad leg that has been removed. He takes a drink of whiskey, bangs the bottle down on the beside table and wakes up the doctor, who immediately takes a long sip of whiskey.
16. The doctor removes the other leg.

Answer: False

Gus would not let him. He wants to make a walking stick out of the other leg bone. The doctor encourages him to take the other leg off and spend the rest of his days sipping whiskey and listening to whores play the piano. Gus tells him to go get some more whiskey and tip the piano player, so she keeps playing.
17. Call goes after Gus and tracks him into Miles City and to his bedside. When Call tells him that he needs to have that other leg taken off and Gus says no, what does Call say to him?

Answer: "I never took you for a suicide."

The doctor tells Call on his way in to see Gus, that it's too late. It doesn't matter anymore. The poison from the infection has spread too much to prevent him from dying. Gus tells Call, "I'm the one man you don't boss."
18. Gus asks Call to haul his body back to where?

Answer: To a little grove of pecan trees back in Texas.

Gus thinks that Call needs the adventure and Call agrees to do it. The doctor suggests that Call should let Gus stay in a shed in Miles City for the winter and that Call can come back in the spring and get him to take to Texas after the weather breaks. Call does.
19. When Call reaches Clara's ranch with Gus's body, he spends the night. Laurie stays at Gus's side. His coffin in Call's wagon. She talks to him through the night. Someone is watching her from the front porch and sees her faint. He runs and picks her up? Who?

Answer: Dish

Dish has been in love with Laurie for a long time, but she hardly notices him. He rode back from Montana, just to be around her again.
20. After many trials, Call burys Gus where requested and makes it back to Lonesome Dove. A reporter tries to interview him when he walks downtown. Call doesn't want to talk, of course, but among other things he says that he heard that Call is, a man of what?

Answer: vision

Call answers, as he thinks about all the people and events that have taken place, and says, " A hell of a vision."
