What is the final result of all the disasters? Hint


Question 10 of 10
10. "Is that all?" J. L. asks as Daffy Duck's "Scarlet Pumpernickel" script is finished. "Is that all?" an exhausted Daffy repeats sarcastically.

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In the opening scene of "The Scarlet Pumpernickel", we see a Hollywood movie studio from above, and hear Daffy Duck screaming, "You're killing me! I'm being murdered! You're typecasting me to death." He is trying to pitch his dramatic script to 'J. L.', who responds with "Well, I..." This is all Daffy needs to begin reading the script. In the title we find it is written by Daffy himself, who reveals his middle name (real or imagined). What is Daffy's middle name?

Answer: Dumas

This is presumably a reference to Alexandre Dumas, the French writer. The story begins: "Once upon a time". "Great opening, huh?" Daffy asks. Daffy narrates through the cartoon, with the 'actors' occasionally playing short parts to keep the plot going.
2. Daffy Duck continues to read his "Scarlet Pumpernickel" script, introducing the Lord High Chamberlain who is 'simply furious' about the Scarlet Pumpernickel. Who plays the Lord High Chamberlain?

Answer: Porky Pig

Porky Pig is great as the Lord High Chamberlain. But M'Lady Melissa is simply delighted, which sends him into a rage. Melissa is played by an unknown pretty female duck.
3. In "The Scarlet Pumpernickel", the Lord High Chamberlain gets an idea while having his powdered wig curled. He'll marry M'Lady Melissa to the Grand Duke and therefore get the upper hand on the Scarlet Pumpernickel. "Quick! A messenger!" Who plays the part of the diminutive messenger?

Answer: Henery Hawk

One of the few roles Henery gets to play outside the barnyard, he looks quite dashing dressed as an English gentleman.
4. The Grand Duke receives the message from Henery Hawk of his impending marriage to Melissa in "The Scarlet Pumpernickel". Who plays the Grand Duke?

Answer: Sylvester

First, he is happy he is to marry the fair Melissa. Then, he is furious because he despises the Scarlet P-P-Pumpernickel. So to sum it up: A cat is to marry a duck, who is apparently the daughter of a pig. Hmmmm. I'll leave you to figure how that could work out.
5. In "The Scarlet Pumpernickel" an English gentleman arrives on a coach at Ye King's Nostril Inn. Who plays the role of the innkeeper?

Answer: Elmer Fudd

He says, "Oh, Mr. Nobleman, you honor my humble wodgings."
"Yes, they are humble, aren't they?" asks the disguised Scarlet Pumpernickel.
6. After accidentally calling the innkeeper a pheasant instead of peasant, the disguised Scarlet Pumpernickel then asks for his room because he's 'pooped'. What other rustic, rural name does he call the innkeeper?

Answer: bumpkin

"My room, bumpkin. I'm pooped." Then he goes off in disguise to see the Lord High Chamberlain.
7. In the cartoon "The Scarlet Pumpernickel", after hearing the marriage of the Grand Duke and the fair Melissa is to take place at once, the Scarlet Pumpernickel returns to his room in The King's Nostril Inn to get into his Pumpernickel disguise. He jumps out the window and crash lands next to his horse. What does the battered Daffy say?

Answer: "That's funny. That never happens to Errol Flynn."

Daffy Duck and Errol Flynn were fellow Warner Brother stars. Errol Flynn played several swashbuckling roles, and Daffy is trying to follow in his footsteps. He makes other references to Errol during this cartoon, the best being after another jump out the window. A parachute opens, and as he drifts down, he says, "Here's a wrinkle Errol never thought of."
8. In "The Scarlet Pumpernickel", Daffy Duck is outside the castle as the wedding of Melissa and the Grand Duke begins. Staring up at the tall wall, he produces a small box labeled "Ye Little Olympic High Jumper". What is inside?

Answer: A pin

Daffy sticks himself in the butt with the pin, and it makes him jump over the wall, landing in the aisle during the wedding. Melissa runs down the aisle taking Daffy with her.
9. After Daffy Duck 'saves' Melissa from the marriage, he and the Grand Duke engage in a sword fight. There is no clear victor, although the Scarlet Pumpernickel says, "Ha-ha! I'm the hero of this picture, and you know what happens to the villain." The sword fight doesn't finish because the storm breaks. And the dam busts. And the volcano erupts. What is the final result of all the disasters?

Answer: The price of food skyrockets

A now excited J. L. keeps wanting to hear what happens next, but Daffy seems to have run out of script, and begins making it up.
10. "Is that all?" J. L. asks as Daffy Duck's "Scarlet Pumpernickel" script is finished. "Is that all?" an exhausted Daffy repeats sarcastically. "There was nothing left for the Scarlet Pumpernickel to do but blow his brains out, which he did." Daffy produces a gun and shoots himself, though obviously through his hat. Then, rising back up, what does he say, which pertains to what he had just been through?

Answer: "It's getting so you have to kill yourself to sell a story around here."

An excellent finish to a classic cartoon. Too bad they didn't make more like this one.
