Question: What does the ending of the movie mean? It has nothing to do with the 3rd movie like you'd think it would.
brianjr0412Question: There was supposedly one episode that ended with SpongeBob, Patrick, Squidward, and Mr. Krabs all laughing in a boat. The laughing then silences, eventually to a stop. Then SpongeBob, Patrick, and Mr. Krabs walk out of the boat, and Squidward eventually walks out too. Which episode is this?
Answer: I believe this is the Season 6 episode "Spongicus".
Question: What car is Gina driving at the end of the movie?
Answer: A 1966 Ford Galaxie-500 XL. There's a website that lists the vehicles used in the movie.
Question: When Cartman thinks his kidney has been taken, and he goes to the hospital to have it put back in, the doctor has him sign a consent form for the operation, which we find out later is a release form for Cartman to be Kyle's kidney donor. But since Cartman is a child, shouldn't his mother be the one to consent and agree for him to have the operation, not him? I'm asking since neither her name or signature is anywhere on the release form Dr Doctor pulls out at the end when Stan reveals the plan to Cartman in the recovery room.
Heather Benton
Chosen answer: His mother could have signed a different release form, especially since she's in on the plan to trick Eric into the transplant.
Captain DefenestratorQuestion: Bond was 12 when his parents were killed, and spent the next 2 years with his guardian, who taught him to ski, climb and hunt before his death. It is mentioned a few times that it happened 20 years ago, making Bond 34, but he's clearly much older - just wondered if I was missing something here.
Answer: It is mentioned that Oberhauser died 20 years ago. This could have been many years after James stopped living with him.
Question: What did Zeddmore mean when he said "This job's not worth another 5 a year" just before they cross the streams?
Answer: He says "This job is definitely not worth eleven-five a year! " Meaning that's how much the Ghostbusters are paying him, $11,500 a year.
Captain DefenestratorQuestion: When Harry "dies" and talks to Dumbledore, why does Harry say that Snape is still alive?
Answer: What Harry actually says is "... And the snake's still alive."
Question: Why are there 2 swords on the plane with the bride?
Answer: Because they are being carried by the other passengers.
Greg DwyerAnswer: She was posing as the mother of the little boy who lived adjacent to Andy and Tracy.
Alan KeddieQuestion: When the bank robber has his gun on the Joker, how does the Joker know that the bus will come in time and hit him?
Answer: The Joker has planned the robbery to the last detail and has a talent for knowing how people will react in certain situations, so he was able to position himself so the other robber would be standing in the path of the bus.
Captain DefenestratorMurder House - S1-E3
Question: If all the people who were murdered in the house stay as ghosts, why does Hugo (Constance's husband) never show up again in the season? All of the other ghosts did.
Answer: Hugo did show up; he was seen having sex with Hayden (Ben's mistress).
Question: When the CSI team run through Tony Candlewell's last moments on the plane, what does Sara Sidel mean when she says the Flight Attendant, Shannon is "vapour-locked"?
Melanie ElsworthyChosen answer: Being vapor-locked, in the simplest terms, is when the person has bad gas and is unable to expel it.
Captain DefenestratorQuestion: Whats the purpose to the Willy Wonka boat ride tunnel? I would say its a metaphor that what appears to be good has a dark side, which would explain how children appear missing or killed during the whole show. But it just seems like there's more to that in general. Mainly because of the faces of spiders and lizards, centipedes walking on dead faces, chicken heads getting cut off, Slugworth appearing on screen and Wonka singing a creepy ass poem. If this scene has some kind of moral lesson within "Don't judge a book by its cover" then please explain. I just think there's something more and I'm not seeing it.
Answer: It's another test of Wonka's. His factory (and real life) will definitely throw some unexpected curve balls at his future heir, so he set the whole thing up to see who would handle it best. If you watch, you'll notice Wonka flicking his eyes rapidly from one ticket winner to another, observing and filing away the fact that out of all of his guests, Charlie and Grandpa Joe are the only ones who seem to accept that they can't change anything about their situation and instead decide to just enjoy the ride...at least until Wonka starts singing. Honestly, though, who WOULDN'T look at least a little worried at that point?
Answer: It's to associate Slugworth with creepiness and bad things. If the kid still wants to sell the Gobstopper to him after that, Wonka knows they're not worthy of the big prize.
Captain DefenestratorQuestion: How much time exists between the assignment of code names and the actual day of the heist?
Answer: Less than a week. Since Joe wants to use guys that don't know each other, the shorter time they have to let things about their past slip in conversation, the better.
Captain DefenestratorAnswer: They were Rocky's chaperones. They were even seen in the cabin Rocky was staying in and playing chess with Duke.
Chosen answer: People who worked for the Soviet government assigned to spy on Rocky.
Greg DwyerQuestion: When Amy is told that she cannot go to the opera with Meg and Jo, Beth tells Amy, "Evangeline and I will make you some ginger tea." The cook/maid's name is listed as Hannah in the cast credits, and she is referred to by the name of Hannah a few times in the movie. Who is Evangeline?
SandyjeanieChosen answer: Evangeline is their cat.
Answer: The cat is named Evangeline. She's holding her while she says that line.
So the cat named Evangeline is going to make tea for Amy?
SandyjeanieNot literally. She was just humanizing her cat. It's something people do, just like how you can buy greeting cards "from the cat" or "from the dog."
Bishop73Question: I've always had an sequence issue with the saved package that Chuck delivers to the lady "Bettina" in the truck at the end. To me it could either be the return divorce papers from Russia, or just happens to be some other delivery, since she appears to be a regular FedEx customer. Either way doesn't matter here for me. The issue/questions is, if the plane that crashed over the Pacific left the FedEx hub in Memphis, TN then why is a package that is destined for somewhere in Texas taking the long route way over the Pacific, rather than just go from Memphis to Texas the short way? The "Dissolution of Marriage Agreement" (1:02:23), shows from Law office in Santa Fe, NM destined for Jakarta Indonesia (over the Pacific). Has anyone else reconciled this delivery route dilemma?
Greg2644Chosen answer: Memphis is the "hub" for FedEx. It is a waste of time and energy and money if they send every package exactly where it is destined to go, directly. Instead, every single package goes to one place, where they are grouped and sorted do that they can fill trucks with packages all going to the same destination. In the movie, he brings it back to the original sender of the package, he does not bring it to whom it was originally being sent, which is why he brought it back at the end.
Answer: This package cannot be the same one she sent in the beginning scene. It had pink wings on it! The one Chuck found had golden wings on it. Remember she told the fed ex man to come back on Thursday she had another one to send. This one had to be the one Chuck found.
Answer: Yes, it was being shipped and Chuck returned it to Texas. That's why they play Elvis' Return To Sender.
So this could have been the signed returned divorce papers in a new package with golden wings and not her original sent package with pink wings?
Answer: So that leads me to believe these were not the divorce papers. She was the sender of the 2nd package.

Chosen answer: The third movie was a prequel to the first 2. It was done to set up an explanation in case they made another movie that takes place after part 2, so her appearance after she died made sense.
