As the video suggested, I'm practicing making a questionnaire that asks what the user's favorite movie is.
However, every time I run this the question mark doesn't cooperate.
puts "Hello!"
puts "What is your favorite movie?"
favorite_movie = gets
puts "Oh, your favorite movie is #{favorite_movie} ?"
How do I keep the question mark from bumping down a line?

You need to add .chomp to the end of gets.
puts "Hello!"
puts "What is your favorite movie?"
favorite_movie = gets.chomp
puts "Oh, your favorite movie is #{favorite_movie}?"
Chomp removes that pesky newline from the end of the user input before being interpolated into the string.
