Quotes
Bugs: Would you like to shoot me now or wait till you get home?
Daffy: Shoot him now! Shoot him now!
Bugs: You keep outta this! He doesn’t have to shoot you now!
Daffy: He does so have to shoot me now! I demand that you shoot me now!
Daffy: Let’s run through that again.
Bugs: Okay!
Daffy: HAH! That’s it! Hold it right there! Pronoun trouble.
Daffy: It’s not “He doesn’t have to shoot you now.” It’s: “He doesn’t have to shoot me now.” Well, I say he does have to shoot me now. So shoot me now!
Daffy: (points a finger in Bugs’ face, bill open to speak)
Bugs: Yayes?
Daffy: (lowers his finger, shuts his bill) Oh, no you don’t. Not again. Sorry.
Daffy: This time we’ll try it from the other end.
Daffy: Look. You’re a hunter, right?.
Elmer: Wight!
Daffy: And this is rabbit season. Right?
Elmer: Wight!
Bugs: And he was a rabbit, what would you do?
Daffy: Yeah, you’re so smart. If I was a rabbit what would you do?
Elmer: Well, I’d—
Daffy: Not again.
Bugs: Take a peek up and see if he’s still around.
Daffy: Right-O.
(Daffy sticks his head out of the hole, is shot, comes back down.)
Bugs: Is he still dere?
Daffy: Still lurking about.
Bugs: I tell you what. You go up and act as a decoy and lure him away.
Daffy: No more for me thanks, I’m driving.
Daffy: Out of sheer honesty, I demand that you tell him who you are! Well? Haven’t you anything to say? Anything? Out of sheer honesty? Huh?
Daffy: Now’s your chance, Hawkeye! Shoot him! Shoot him!
Daffy: You’re despicable.
