Tossup

This line titles a 1976 book by James Horwitz in which he searches for aging actors from a certain genre. This line is parodied in the title of a 1951 Fred MacMurray comedy that combines it with the name Callaway. After the projectionist mixes up the reels in Hellzapoppin’, Ole and Chic contradictorily deliver this line to a warrior on horseback. (15[1])This line is delivered by a denizen of Wackyland with 14 arms and a sandwich board advertising “information about the dodo.” Bugs gives this line in disguise near the end of “High Diving Hare” before telling Yosemite Sam to (*) take a shortcut off the diving board (10[1])and “head him off at the pass.” For 10 points, Looney Tunes often parodied (-5[1])what Western cliché in which a pursuer receives directions? ■END■ (0[1])

ANSWER: “They went thataway!” [accept near equivalents like “he went that way”; accept Callaway Went Thataway]
