Round 3: Tossup 2

A common action done by this character draws on a Clark Gable gag in the hitchhiking scene of It Happened One Night. A line originated by this character titles a screwball comedy by Peter Bogdanovich in which Ryan O’Neal plays an aloof musicologist. (-5[1])This character is shown to be the sadistic author who has been changing settings at the end of a rhymingly titled short film whose protagonist begins as a musketeer. While disguised as Brünnhilde, (10[1])this character teases a man (10[1])dressed as Siegfried in a Wagner-inspired short by (10[1])Michael (10[1])Maltese (10[1])and Chuck Jones for the Merrie Melodies. When a hunter (10[1])points a gun at him, (10[1])this character calmly (-5[1])says (10[1])that it is “duck season.” For 10 points, “what’s up, Doc?” is a catchphrase of what Looney Tunes character who often dupes Elmer Fudd? ■END■ (10[2])
