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 (10[1])titles a screwball comedy by Peter Bogdanovich in which Ryan O’Neal plays an aloof musicologist. 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, this character teases a man dressed (10[1])as Siegfried in a Wagner-inspired (10[1])short by Michael (-5[1])Maltese and Chuck Jones for the Merrie Melodies. When a hunter points a gun at him, this (10[1])character calmly (10[1])says that it is “duck season.” (10[2])For 10 points, (10[1])“what’s up, Doc?” is a catchphrase of what Looney Tunes character who often dupes Elmer Fudd? ■END■
