First Annual "Scrooged" Trivia Quiz

OK, Kate Marie, two can play at this game. Scrooged is a 1988 film that stars Bill Murray as Frank Cross, a modern day Ebeneezer Scrooge. This film grows on me everytime I see it, which I must do each Christmas. Templeton Peck shares my love of it and we can spend a day quoting lines if we had the time.

1. Frank's old girlfriend Claire, played by Karen Allen, has what last name?

2. The ghost of Christmas past is a cabdriver. The name of the cab company is a salute to the original Dickens. Name it.

3. Two well established older actors play Frank's deceased former boss and his current boss. Name them.

4. What was his former boss doing when he died?

5. After Frank meets his rival, Bryce Cummings, how does he describe him to his secretary?

6. Why does Frank tear down and throw away the picture of Santa and Mrs. Claus drawn by his secretary's son?

7. What 4 IBC network Christmas Eve special promos are shown at the beginning of the movie?

8. What touching gift does Frank's father give him in the scene when he goes back to see himself as a youth?

9. Frank has a workout room in his office. There is a graphic of a word and its definition plastered over the room. What word and how defined.

10. What problem does the network censor have with the dancer's costume?
