Q 01In Mean Girls, what work kept Cady's parents in Africa before she started high school?

Research zoologists, both of them: Cady was taught at home by her mother until 16, and the family only came back when that same mother was offered a university post.
Q 02In Mean Girls, Regina tells Cady 'Get in, loser, we're going' to do what?
Shopping
Shopping: 'Get in, loser. We're going shopping,' Regina calls from her car, and the Plastics drive a dazzled Cady off to the mall.
Q 03What does Damian shout at the tearful stranger during the Mean Girls gym assembly?
She doesn't even go here!
'She doesn't even go here!' is right: asked whether she attends the school, the girl admits she doesn't, says she just has a lot of feelings, and is sent home.
Q 04What day of the week do The Plastics wear pink?
Wednesday
Wednesday is the day: Karen delivers 'On Wednesdays, we wear pink' while inviting Cady to lunch, and fans now wear pink to mark the film's unofficial holiday.
Q 05Which actress plays Regina George in the 2004 film Mean Girls?
Rachel McAdams
Rachel McAdams first read for Cady; she was judged a bit too old for the heroine, and the director liked how nervous she made her teenage co-star.
Q 06What do The Plastics call the scrapbook of gossip and insults they keep about classmates and teachers?
The Burn Book
The Burn Book is a scrapbook filled with rumors, secrets, and insults about students and teachers at North Shore High. Its exposure is a major plot catalyst in the film.
Q 07What non-fiction book served as the source material for the Mean Girls screenplay?
Queen Bees and Wannabes
Queen Bees and Wannabes is Rosalind Wiseman's guide for parents of teenage girls; it has no plot, so Tina Fey, who had read about the author in a newspaper, wrote the story from scratch.
Q 08Which Plastic keeps trying to make her own invented slang word catch on?
Gretchen Wieners
Lacey Chabert's Gretchen keeps insisting things are 'so fetch' until Regina snaps: 'Stop trying to make fetch happen! It's not going to happen!'
Q 09What role does Tina Fey play in the 2004 Mean Girls film?
Ms. Norbury
Ms. Norbury, the calculus teacher, is newly divorced and working three jobs, details Cady twists into a nasty rumour once the teacher starts pushing her to try harder.
Q 10In Mean Girls, what is Gretchen Wieners' father said to have invented?
Toaster Strudel
Toaster Strudel made the Wieners family 'totally rich', and Gretchen invokes 'my father, the inventor of Toaster Strudel' when the principal questions her.
Q 11Which actor plays Damian in the 2004 film Mean Girls?
Daniel Franzese
Daniel Franzese plays the friend Janis fondly calls 'almost too gay to function', a line that turns cruel once Cady repeats it and it lands in the Burn Book.
Q 12What academic competition does Cady join at North Shore High?
Mathletes
Mathletes it is, though Damian and the Plastics each warn her that joining is 'social suicide'; the captain wants her because a girl on the team doubles its funding.
Q 13Who directed the 2004 Mean Girls film?
Mark Waters
Mark Waters had just directed Lindsay Lohan in Freaky Friday, the film that made the producers want her for Mean Girls in the first place.
Q 21What does Cady wear to the Halloween party, unaware of its unwritten dress code?
An 'ex-wife' zombie bride

Coach Carr
Coach Carr, the gym teacher who lectures his health class against sex, is named in the book for making out with two students and promptly flees school property.

Amanda Seyfried
Amanda Seyfried had read for Regina; the producers liked her but decided she was 'more correct for Karen', so she made her film debut as the dim one.

A cool mom
'I'm not like a regular mom, I'm a cool mom,' Mrs. George insists while telling the girls there are no rules in her house.

Word vomit makes Cady blurt to Aaron that Regina is cheating on him, and at her own party it turns into actual vomit.
Q 18Which song do the Plastics dance to at the winter talent show in the 2004 Mean Girls?
Jingle Bell Rock
Jingle Bell Rock cuts out mid-routine, so Cady keeps singing and the audience joins in; the stage musical swapped it for an original number, 'Rockin' Around the Pole'.
Q 19What happens to Regina George after she storms out of the gym assembly?
She gets hit by a bus
She gets hit by a bus while ranting at Cady and fractures her spine, and the school is soon whispering that Cady pushed her.
Q 20What is Karen Smith's self-described 'fifth sense'?
Her breasts can tell when it will rain
Her breasts can tell when it will rain, Karen claims, 'like I have ESPN or something', then admits they can really only tell when it is already raining.

Q 26Made for about $17 million, the 2004 Mean Girls grossed roughly how much worldwide?

Q 27After the Burn Book riot in Mean Girls, what does Principal Duvall say he ought to cancel?
