Question: What is a talking walnut? Details please.
Answer: My guess is that they are characters of the Christmas story.
Question: Why does The Kid (Thurman) give Willie a wooden pickle? (Does he confuse the phrase "wooden nickle"?) What am I missing?
Answer: A pickle on the Christmas tree is a game. The 1st one who finds the pickle gets a present.
Answer: The wooden pickle was a gift he made for Willie. Thurman didn't confuse "wooden nickle" with wooden pickle.
Question: Here's something I've never understood. Who is that guy that attacks Willie in the parking lot near the start of the film? The guy that says "I am not gay". What the hell is he talking about? Then calls him "assclown". Who was that guy and why did he attack Willie for no apparent reason?
Answer: My guess is that when he was a child, he was molested by a man dressed as Santa Claus, and ever since then he has been holding a grudge against people dressed as Santa Claus. You can see him staring angrily at Willie in the bar even before Willie notices him.
Answer: Willie asks the guy if he's off his meds, to which the man replied, "Yes."
Question: What is the title and composer of the nice piano piece that plays at the beginning and end of the film?
Answer: The music is Nocturne number 2 Es-dur 9/2 by Chopin.
Chosen answer: It's just something the kid came up with. He is not quite all there. It's just something that illustrates how odd the kid is.
