- QFTCI16 Game 10, Rounds 2-3 answers: US losers, etymology - 1 Update
| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Oct 22 06:18AM -0500 These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2016-07-25, and should be interpreted accordingly. On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty. Please post all your answers to the newsgroup in a single followup, based only on your own knowledge. (In your answer posting, quote the questions and place your answer below each one.) I will reveal the correct answers in about 3 days. All questions were written by members of the Usual Suspects and are used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may have been retyped and/or edited by me. For further information see my 2016-05-31 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian Inquisition (QFTCI*)". I wrote one of these rounds and one question in the other. * Game 10, Round 4 - Entertainment - Cue the Famous Line We'll give you the year and a bit of dialogue from a movie, and maybe some other detail. You give the famous line that comes next, either a continuation of the same speech or a response. All answers appear on the American Film Institute's list of the 100 greatest quotes of all time from American movies. In most cases you will have to give one sentence (if not, then we'll tell you) and it's only the key phrases in it that you'll be scored on. If you'd like to show off for fun, but for no points, you are also welcome to name the actors and actresses, the characters, the movies, and in one case, the author and title of the play that the line alludes to. Caution: this round may contain objectionable language. Player discretion is advised. 1. 1944: "You know you don't have to act with me, Steve. You don't have to say anything, and you don't have to do anything. Not a thing. Oh, maybe just whistle." Give the continuation -- the next two sentences. 2. 1942: "Major Strasser has been shot." Give the continuation. 3. 1941, spoken while picking up a black statuette: "Heavy. What is it?" Give the reply. 4. 1979, two people talking: "You smell that?" -- "What?" -- "Napalm, boy. Nothing else in the world smells like that." Give the sentence that continues the last line. 5. 1992, two people talking: "You want answers?" -- "I think I'm entitled to them." -- "You want answers?" -- "I want the truth!" Give the reply to the last line. 6. 1939: "Home. I'll go home. And I'll think of some way to get him back." Give the continuation. 7. 1933: "What does it matter? The airplanes got him." Give the reply. It's two sentences long, but the second one is the one that will count. 8. 1972, two people talking: "And in a month from now, this Hollywood big shot's going to give you what you want." -- "It's too late; they start shooting in a week." Give the reply. 9. 1976: "I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now, and go to the window, open it, and stick your head out and yell: ..." Yell what? 10. 1967: "Virgil. Funny name for a nigger boy from Philadelphia. What do they call you up there?" Give the reply. * Game 10, Round 6 - Canadiana Geography - Toronto Streets, Continued This round is called "Toronto Streets, Continued". But no, you didn't miss the first part. This round is about streets whose name changes at a particular cross-street. We'll give you the street name before the intersection, the cross street where it changes, and some other information. You tell us the street name after the intersection. For example, if we said that going west, Carlton St. ends at Yonge, and the street it becomes continues to Dundas, you'd answer College St. -- or just say College, because in all cases we just need the basic name of the street. You don't need to say whether it's called a street, a road, or whatever, and you also don't need to say "East" or "West". In the questions, we're going to speak of them all as "streets" no matter how they are named. Sometimes there'll be a slight swerve or jog where the new street begins -- never mind that. 1. Going south, Christie St. ends at Bloor; the street it becomes continues south to Dundas, ending near Trinity Bellwoods Park. 2. Going south, St. George St. ends at College. Cross College and you're on this street, which continues south to Queen. 3. Going west, Hoskin Av. starts at Queen's Park Crescent and ends shortly thereafter at St. George. Then it becomes this street, which continues west to Ossington. 4. Going west, Eastwood Rd. ends at Coxwell; the street across Coxwell continues all the way to University Av., its directional suffix changing from "East" to "West" when it crosses Yonge. Hint: this one is a little bit of a trick question. 5. Going southwest, Kingston Rd. ends at Queen St.; the street it becomes turns west, mostly, and ends at Front near Parliament. 6. In the Annex, going north, Robert St. ends at Bloor; the street it becomes continues a mere 4 blocks to Dupont St., with a jog where it crosses Kendal Av. 7. Going east, or southeast, Davenport Rd. ends at Yonge; the new street turns south and continues to a little past the Esplanade. 8. Going north, Tecumseth St. ends at Queen West; the street it becomes continues north, weirdly changing from an "avenue" to a "boulevard", back to an "avenue", then to a "square", and finally back to an "avenue" again before ending a little past Dupont. 9. Going east, Irwin Av. ends at Yonge, close to a couple of our trivia pubs; the new street continues east to Jarvis. 10. Going north, Parkside Dr. ends at Bloor; the street it becomes continues north to St. Clair, and then after a gap, continues north again. -- Mark Brader "I love talking about nothing.
