SCORING

0-5 POINTS: Henry F. Potter level. Sentimental hogwash, you say. You're obviously a hard-skulled character.

5-10 POINTS: Uncle Billy level. You can take that string off your finger now. You obviously forgot to watch it (or fell asleep).

10-15 POINTS: Ernie Bishop level. You're the kind of person who knows that the Sesame Street characters Bert and Ernie were named in honor of the buddies in this movie.

15-19 POINTS: Harry Bailey level. You're a second team All-American like Harry for remembering this much.

20 POINTS: Clarence Oddbody level. "Attaboy, Clarence." You obviously know this line if you got this far. You have definitely earned your wings.
