Dialogue

[In the middle of a scene, a wolf goes by chasing Little Red Riding Hood; Screwy stops him]
Screwy: Wait a minute, pal. You're in the wrong picture, ain't ya, man? [pulls down main title card] See? The Screwy Truant, featuring Screwy Squirrel.
Wolf: Hmm. One of them corny B-pictures, eh?
Screwy: Oh, yeah? Listen, you. If you were my size, I'd bust you right in the nose.
Wolf: Oh, yeah?
[Wolf shrinks down to Screwy's size; Screwy shrinks even smaller and runs away]
