Bugs Bunny

• [notices his ears are missing] Ears! [The animator draws on a pair of human ears; Bugs feels the lobes with his finger] Not human ears, my friend - rabbit ears. Long ones. [The animator erases the human ears and draws on long rabbit ears that trail along the ground] Don't be so dang literal!
• Eh, what's up, Doc? [realizes] Oh, you, huh?

Dialogue

[last lines.]

Bugs Bunny: Well, okay. But there's still one way out, and you can't stop me!

[Bugs pulls out a "The End" title card. This short was inspired by Duck Amuck. As it turns out, that the animator tormenting Bugs throughout the cartoon was Elmer Fudd, the whole time]

Elmer Fudd: [laughs] Well, anyway, I finally got even with that scwewy wabbit!

[The cartoon ends with an iris-out.]
