Bugs then goes to Cecil's house disguised as an old man (a parody of Bill Thompson's "Old Timer" character from ''Fibber McGee and Molly'') to ask about the turtle's secret for winning. Cecil is not the least bit fooled by the disguise, but goes along with the gag, claiming that his streamlined shell ensures his success; he ...
