Thanks for taking the trivia test, BKing, here are the answers:

(1) After Capt Hendry (Kenneth Tobey) asks a group of people the question,
"What do you do with a vegetable?" (In the general discussion of how to
destroy The Thing); Nikki Nicholson quickly responds with, "Boil it; stew
it; bake it; fry it." This heating up culinary operation was unanimously
deemed the most suitable method for disposing of the alien. Specifically,
throwing kerosene on The Thing, then blasting it with a flare gun. So
Nikki would get credit for the suggestion.

(2) The scene which would be considered sexually deviant would be the scene
featuring Capt Hendry and Nikki Nicholson; consensual bondage, alcohol consumption and forced
kissing are the highlights of this lighthearted scene. Nikki ties Hendry's
hands behind his back while he's sitting in a chair. This situation developed from an earlier meeting where he suggested the scenario
on a whim centered on the consumption of alcohol. The scene begins with
him tied up in the chair, although one never gets a clear view of the ropes. Nikki plays the dominant role, gingerly bouncing around him, talking about their relationship,(she becomes remarkably candid, then
later and ironically in the scene, she admits to Hendry she would have
never said told him the things she did if he'd NOT been tied up); there
is a mixed drink stand beside them; Hendry keeps saying "untie me"; of
course, she ignores him. Nikki then pours a mixed drink down Hendry's
throat. She then starts pecking on Hendry's lips, and when
he draws away, she forcibly grabs him by the nape of his neck and pulls his
head forward to hers and kisses him firmly. Hendry then asks for
a light for his cigarette, she absentmindedly looks for a lighter as he
impishly sits holding his cigarette in his freed right hand; it isn't until
she starts to light the cigarette, that she notices what happened. They
both burst into laughter, and she asks in mock disappointment about how
long had he been loose. Nikki escorts Hendry to the door as she gives him cordial pointers on understanding women in general, and her in particular;
he then leaves.

(3) "Stranger In A Strange Land"; words uttered by Dr. Carrington,the Head
Scientist for Polar Expedition 6, later to be used as the title of
Robert A. Heinlein's 1961 sci-fi novel.
