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.

Specifically, any answer where the phrases marked by *...* were
correct was acceptable.

"You know *how to whistle*, don't you, Steve? You just *put your
lips together and -- blow*." 4 for Gareth, Joshua, Stephen, Pete,
Dan Blum, Jason, Marc, and Bruce.

(Lauren Bacall as Marie Browning, known as Slim, in "To Have and
Have Not"; screenplay by Jules Furthman and William Faulkner based
[very loosely!] on a novel by Ernest Hemingway. Note: In these credit
notes I'm only including people who had screen credit according to
the IMDB.)

> 2. 1942: "Major Strasser has been shot." Give the continuation.

"*Round up the usual suspects.*" 4 for Gareth, Joshua, Stephen,
Pete, Dan Blum, Dan Tilque, Marc, and Bruce.

Julius J. and Philip G. Epstein and Howard Koch, based on a play
by Murray Burnett and Joan Alison.)

> 3. 1941, spoken while picking up a black statuette: "Heavy.
> What is it?" Give the reply.

"The *stuff that*, uh, *dreams are made of*." 4 for Gareth, Joshua,
Stephen, Jason, and Marc. 3 for Dan Tilque.

(Ward Bond as Tom Polhaus and Humphrey Bogart as Sam Spade in "The
Maltese Falcon"; screenplay by John Huston, based on the novel
by Dashiell Hammett; the line alludes to William Shakespeare's
"The Tempest".)

> 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.

"I *love* the smell of *napalm in the morning*." 4 for Gareth,
Joshua, Pete, Dan Blum, Jason, Calvin, Marc, and Bruce.

(Robert Duvall as Bill Kilgore and Sam Bottoms as Lance Johnson in
"Apocalypse Now"; screenplay by John Milius and Francis Ford Coppola.
Kilgore goes on to say how it smells like victory, but that's not
the next sentence.)

> 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.

"*You can't handle the truth!*" 4 for everyone -- Gareth, Joshua,
Stephen, Pete, Dan Blum, Dan Tilque, Björn, Jason, Calvin, Marc,
and Bruce.

(Tom Cruise as Daniel Kaffee and Jack Nicholson as Nathan Jessup in
"A Few Good Men"; by Aaron Sorkin, based on his own play.)

"Oh, no, it wasn't the airplanes. It was *Beauty killed the Beast*."
4 for Gareth, Joshua, Stephen, Pete, Dan Blum, Dan Tilque, Jason,
Marc, and Bruce. 3 for Calvin.

(George MacQuarrie as a policeman and Robert Armstrong as Carl
Denham in "King Kong"; screenplay by James Creelman and Ruth Rose,
based on a story by Merian C. Cooper and Edgar Wallace.)

> 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.

"I'm going to make him an *offer he can't refuse*." 4 for Gareth,

"'I'm as *mad as hell* and I'm *not going to take* this *anymore*!'"

indicated phrases were required.) 4 for Gareth, Joshua, Pete, Jason,
Calvin, Marc, Bruce, Stephen, and Dan Blum.

(Peter Finch as Howard Beale in "Network"; by Paddy Chayefsky.
His listeners do start yelling the line from their windows, but they
improve the wording slightly, dropping the first "as" and sometimes
changing "this" to "it" -- a very nice writing touch.)

> What do they call you up there?" Give the reply.

"They call me *MR. TIBBS!*" 4 for Gareth, Joshua, Stephen, Pete,

Gerrard St. 4 for Stephen.

(Gerrard actually starts east of Victoria Park Rd., runs west
to Coxwell, and then jogs sideways a full block to the south,
*re*starting across from Eastwood.)
