1) He spells the word "nine" with the remaining eleven toothpicks.
2) The word is "startling." Remove the "l" and it becomes STARTING. Then remove the "t" and it is STARING. The rest of the changes are as follows: remove "a" for STRING - remove "r" for STING - remove "t" for SING - remove "g" for SIN - remove "s" for IN - and finally, remove "n" for I.
3) The movie was at a drive-in theater, and their car had tinted windows.
4) Bookkeeper, bookkeeping, etc.
5) Tiffany? xD
