1. an older friend in school
   the author of an anonymous erotic novel
2. a friend of his mother's
   his first college girlfriend

Christian was this woman's submissive.

1. Jennifer
   Hayley
2. Kate
   Heather

Her full name is Kate Kavanaugh.

1. Deacon
   Elliot
2. Ray
   we never learn this

Elliot was played by "True Blood" actor Luke Grimes.

1. Jose
   Ana's stepfather
2. Christian's brother
   an unknown girl

TBH, the unknown girl would really have spiced things up for men din the audience.

1. she is deeply interested in BDSM
   she is a virgin
2. she thinks she might be bisexual
   she deliberately made Kate sick in order to meet him

If Anastasia had deliberately gotten Kate sick, we'd really have to re-evaluate what we've thought about her to this point!

1. White
   James
2. Love
   Steele

You have to admit, it probably looks good on a driver's license.

1. a Chevy stepside pickup
   a vintage Volkswagen Beetle
2. a Volvo wagon
   none -- she always borrows Kate's car

Ana borrows Kate's car to drive to the interview, but she does have her own wheels.

1. Tyler
   Ted
2. Jose
   Mark

He photographs Christian for Kate's article.

1. a coffeehouse
   the university press
2. a hardware store
   a veterinary clinic

This also allows Christian to make some eyebrow-raising purchases.

1. his gym equipment
   his art studio
2. his Xbox
   his bed, but little else

The room is also known as the red room of pain, though the phrase isn't used in the movie.

1. Fifty Shades Darker
   Fifty Shades Deeper
2. Fifty Shades Freed
   Grey

"Grey" is the novel that tells the story from Christian's point of view.

1. Michelle Pfeiffer
   Lisa Rinna
2. Melanie Griffith
   Heather Locklear

Griffith took some flak in the media for not wanting to see "Fifty Shades" -- but can you blame her?

1. business/ 2.75
   art history/ 3.0
2. philosophy/ 3.5
   English lit/ 4.0

Given that, we really expected her dialogue to be sharper.

1. cry
   remain silent
2. count the blows
   beg for more

Ana has asked for the whipping so she'll understand "the worst" their relationship has to offer.

1. hot air balloon
   a Cessna
2. a Learjet
   a glider

Christian's ability to pilot several vehicles underscores his love of control.

1. Sylvia Plath, T.S Eliot or Jane Austen
   Jane Austen, Christina Rossetti or Edith Wharton
2. Percy Bysshe Shelley, Mary Shelley or Charlotte Bronte
   Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte, or Thomas Hardy

Seriously, dude -- you've never heard of a guy named William Shakespeare?

1. "Christian."
   "Stop."
2. "Yes."
   "Red."

It's Ana's way of saying goodbye -- the film ends abruptly, with the characters' relationship in disrepair.

1. the strike-out of fisting
   the strike-out of suspension
2. the addendum of a weekly date
   she doesn't sign it

Ana never signs the contract, yet she and Christian go ahead with several sexual encounters.

1. his parents don't like Anastasia
   Elliot has brought Kate along
2. Ana reveals she's going to visit her mother
   his siblings bring up his troubled childhood

Christian expresses his displeasure by dragging Ana away from the dinner table for some intense conversation.

1. for a Mariners game
   for a five-star dinner
2. for the opera
   to go to his apartment

Christian, naturally, lives in a penthouse.

1. Florida
   Georgia
2. California
   Oregon

Ana apparently dislikes the humidity, just as Bella does in "Twilight."

1. donuts and coffee
   tea and scones
2. wine and sushi
   just sparkling water

Neither Ana nor Christian appear to touch them, however.

1. running
   martial arts
2. swimming
   vigorous sex

Hmmm... is he trying to outrun his troubled past?

1. masking tape
   cable ties
2. rope
   a coverall

He also asks for the rope and masking tape, but not a coverall.

1. Melissa Leo
   Michelle Pfeiffer
2. Lea Thompson
   Jennifer Ehle

The role was a sharp contrast to Ehle's super-competent characters in "Zero Dark Thirty" and "Contagion."

1. Alexander Skarsgard
   Charlie Hunnam
2. Ryan Gosling
   Robert Pattinson

Hunnam wanted the role, but was still shooting "Sons of Anarchy."

1. Joe Esterhazs
   Sam Taylor-Johnson
2. Sofia Coppola
   Scarlett Johansson

Taylor-Johnson began her career in high-art photography before making the leap to film.

1. six
   eight
2. fifteen
   "too many to count"

Hey, it's impressive that Christian knows the number right off the top of his head.

1. a mugging
   Jose's unwanted advances
2. getting hit by a car
   getting hit by a bicycle

Jose's unwanted pass comes a little bit later.

1. four
   six
2. eight
   all of them

Fortunately, Christian filches the list and emails answers directly to Kate.

1. Nathan Fillion
   Dave Foley
2. Callum Keith Rennie
   William Shatner

"Fifty Shades" struggled for respect -- let's face it, William Shatner would have sunk it.

1. Jane Austen
   Charlotte Bronte
2. Thomas Hardy
   none of those

Christian says he would have thought Jane Austen.

1. he was in a car accident
   his mother died
2. he was adopted by a wealthy family
   both #2 and #3

It isn't until late in the film that Christian explains that his mother was a prostitute and crack addict.

1. a creative-writing graduation project
   a three-act play for experimental theater
2. a "Twilight" fan fiction
   a National Novel Writing Month project

It was called "Master of the Universe," and E.L. James wrote it under the pen name "Snowdragon's Icequeen."

1. he's giving the commencement speech at her university
   she's a journalism major
2. her roommate, who writes for the school paper, gets sick
   both #1 and #3

Just think, if things had gone differently, it could have been Ana's roommate getting flogged!
