Round 1: Tossup 4

Two answers required. These are the two characters analyzed in the most depth by a Molly Haskell book subtitled for their film “Revisited.” A caricature of one of these two characters says “I saw it in a window, and I just couldn’t resist it” upon being complimented (15[1])by the other on her attire in a sketch (15[1])from The Carol (15[1])Burnett Show. After one of these two characters tries to bite the other, she calls him a “skunk” and tells him, “I’ll (15[1])be at your hanging.” (15[1])One of the actors playing these two characters (15[1])reportedly hated their kiss scenes because of the other’s notoriously (*) bad breath. After one of these two characters throws a piece of china across a room, (10[1])the other whistles and asks “has the war started?” Quips by one of (-5[1])these two characters to the other include (10[1])“never in any crisis of your life have I known you to have a handkerchief” and the line “and you, Miss, are no lady.” For 10 points, name these two characters who are the speaker and addressee of the line “frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn.” (10[1])■END■ (10[1]0[1])
