If I do this grudge play it has to be in the spirit of Wilder.  It has to seem silly and overly earnest and then cut to the bone and then throw up its hands and say, “Oh, no, no you misunderstand.  Forget that last part. I really AM just silly and overly earnest.” It has to ring a bell true and then say, “Who me? What? Ring a bell? Well, yes, I guess I have.  But I didn’t mean anything by it. Honest.”
