Quotes:

Bugs Bunny: It all began in a vast uncharted region of outer space. A whole flock of strange looking carrots drifting in space for billions of years, were floating down toward the earth. But I didn't know it at the time. As far as I was concerned it was just another typical day, except that I was late to work.

Bugs Bunny: Hey taxi! [gets in the cab] To the middle of nowhere, quick!

Bugs Bunny: [sees a bunch of weird carrots] Gee, what strange looking carrots. Oh well. [voiceover] I should've known right then that there was something screwy about those carrots. But gosh, I didn't have time to think, I had a date out west with a fiery redhead.

Bugs Bunny: [sees another bunch of weird carrots] Gee, what strange looking wild cactus carrots. Oh well. [voiceover] I didn't realize that I left ol' Sam in the lurch like that. I couldn't wait, I had a pressing appointment in duck hunting country.

Bugs Bunny: [sees a third bunch of weird carrots] Gee, what strange looking... aw, you know!

Bugs Bunny: It's no use, I just can't sleep. My delicate inner sense of danger tells me there's something fately foreboding in the atmosphere. Elmer Fudd was a pale stereotype of his former self, even paler than the original if that's possible. And Sam wasn't Sam but an unreasonable fac simile thereof, a not so incredible insinuation. And that duck, sure, it looked like a duck and quacked like a duck.

Bugs Bunny: [feels a tap on his shoulder] Yeeesss?::Pale Stereotype of Bugs: [holding axe] What's up, Doc?::Bugs Bunny: [screams and runs out of his hole, stops, faces the audience] You know something, folks? This is the scariest part of the picture. [resumes running and screaming]

Bugs Bunny: Now maybe if I get rid of these robot retreads, then the genuine articles would come back. Gee, I don't know, but it just might work.

Pale Stereotype of Bugs: [brandishing axe] What's up, Doc?::Bugs Bunny: Give me that. Get in the sack, evil twin, I've got plans for you.::Pale Sterotype of Elmer Fudd: [comes up on spinning legs] I'm hunting wabbits, I'm hunting wabbits, I'm hunting wabbits.::Bugs Bunny: Over here, darling, your rabbit's right in this bag.::Pale Stereotype of Yosemite Sam: Racken fracken varmint, racken fracken varmint, racken fracken varmint.::Bugs Bunny: This way, Deadpan, don't dilly dally.::Pale Stereotype of Daffy: You're despicable, you're despicable, you're despicable.::Bugs Bunny: [catching them all in the sack] Oh Margaret, what dopey dopplegangers.

Bugs Bunny: [about Elmer] He likes me, he really likes me. [about Sam] I never realized I was that so many people wanted to kill me.

[Daffy is caught backstage in the middle of complaining to himself about the way the studio treats him]::Daffy Duck: Next thing you know, they'll stick me with three snot-nosed nephews. I wouldn't put it past them!

[after Elmer fires a real shot]::Bugs Bunny: Cut.::Daffy Duck: No! Don't cut! Let the cameras roll to record for prosperity while I give this two-bit Nimrod a severe dressing down.

Yosemite Sam: Do I look like some hotchie-cootchie girl to come a-shimmying out of a cake? Why, it ain't decent.

[Last lines]::Bugs Bunny: Sam! Sam! Speak to me!::Yosemite Sam: Oooh! You carrot chompin', flop-eared, bob-tailed rabbit! I hope your innards turn to outards and your ears go visey-versey! I hates rabbits! It's just human nature to hates rabbits! Why you low down, flop-eared, son of a kangaroo! You'll pay for this, you dog blasted, ornery, no account, long-eared varmint! Why, you carned-sarned idjot rabbit!::Bugs Bunny: Eh... [munches on a carrot] Maybe we can fix it in the editing.

Elmer Fudd: It's wabbit season, and I'm hunting wabbits, so be vewy, vewy quiet!

Marvin the Martian: Oh, how simply dandy. I've captured another Earth creature. Why, isn't that lovely? Hugo will be so happy to have a playmate, but you know how lonesome he gets.

Hugo the Abominable Snowman: [rocking Bugs] I will hug him, and stroke him, and cuddle him, and sing to him, and call him George, duh.

Bugs Bunny: In the spring, a young rabbit's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of mischief.

Bugs Bunny: Whereas - in the spring, a adult rabbit's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of spring - and love of his fellow creatures, and birds, and flowers - and rocks!

Bugs Bunny: Ah yes, and in the spring, a young coyote's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of - lunch. Road runner au gratin, to be exact.

Plot: Things are moving pretty slow in the Weaver cabin. Most of the men (and animals) are sleeping, and even those who are awake are only half-awake. A microphone for the radio station KFWB drops in front of four of them. They snap to and burst into song (with a nap during the commercial). They sing of the joy of shooting McCoys. The McCoys, called skunks by a young boy with a deep voice, shoot their question at the Weavers: "Do ya mean it?" The reply: "Yas we mean it!" The feud is on. Coming on a scooter is "Elmer Fudd, Peacemaker" (though the character design and voice is that of Egghead). He suggests peace to the Weavers, and gets a backside of buckshot. The McCoys give him the same response. The sheriff catches one combatant off-side and gives him a 5 yard penalty. Elmer stands in the middle and again pleads for peace. Everyone gangs up around him; there's a huge brawl, and only Elmer is left standing.
