In this thread, I asked what the five foods beginning with the letter Q were, as seen in the movie White Men Can’t Jump. I got a little exasperated. Even a little snippy. Perhaps a little bitter. My apologies if I’ve offended anyone there, or here. Feel free to Pit me for asking for something so nit-picky.
Nit-picky or not, the folks in GQ have utterly failed to answer my question. So, according to the same rules put forth in that post, I am now offering to pay for one year’s subscription to the SDMB for whoever can dig up a tape, DVD, or script and provide me a definitive cite for the answer to my question.
Yes, I’m that desperate.
Disclaimer: I don’t care if your cat’s name is Quincy or Quimby. I don’t care if you have a good recipe for Queen’s Pudding. I don’t care if you can brute-force a dictionary and tell me what all of the foods in the English language are that begin with “Q”.
At 51 minutes in, Billy and Gloria talk about “Q” foods – but none are named. At 80 minutes in they have an argument and “quince” is named. At 88 minutes in (chapter 15 on the DVD) is the Jeopardy segment. Trebek announces the 6 categories: Medicine; Superstitions; Natural Disasters; Books of the Bible; Sports; and Foods that Begin with the Letter “Q.” When Gloria picks the “Q” food cateogry, she names four “Q” foods (in order quail; quiche; quahog; quince - the Daily Double), then they go to Double Jeopardy. While the movie does not show the categories changing, if this is supposed to be the real Jeopardy, all the categories should be new. This is supported by the fact that the former champion picks the Popes category to open the Double Jeopardy round, a category that was not available before. Gloria correctly answers the Pope question and all the remaining questions.
You heard it from Sean Connery, Papermache Prince, you’ve just earned yourself a subscription to SDMB. When the subscription page opens, we can work out the details.
