Should have thought of Merle Haggard - there’s an amusing clip on YouTube (or at least there used to be) of him doing an impression of Marty, with Marty watching. The expression on his face is priceless. Anyhoo… IQ1: Are you Don Diego de la Vega? IQ2: Were you filming in Texas 50 years ago? IQ3: Did you speak thusly? ---
