Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Chekov the playwright or Chekov the Star Trek character?

My housemate thinks this is actually why some of the people were able to get it.

I was slightly surprised that they couldn't get it with the letters, but I don't how many people could readily come up with any playwrights, let alone a non-English one. I mean, if it was a famous French playwright, would it have been any easier for them?

Moliere! (although I think I'd be hard pressed to name another one)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm pretty sure "famous playwright" is a non-starter for most people.

As lost as Luke was on that task, I was impressed with how patient his mom remained. She knew he was uber-frustrated and she didn't whine about not being able to help him or anything.

Clue #1:

Like Dumas (fils), one writer on the list also had at least one of his plays adapted into a famous opera.
