Bugs Bunny

• Poor little maroon. So, trusting. So naive.
• Heh. Just like Gary Cooper, huh?
• [last lines; to Yosemite Sam, as he leaves on the train] So long, Sammy! See you in Miami!

Dialogue

Patrons: [shocked] Yosemite Sam!

Yosemite Sam: Yeah, Yosemite Sam! The roughest, toughest, he-man, hombres ever crossed the Rio Grande, and I isn't no namby-pamby! Now, all of you skunks clear out of here! [shoots everywhere]

[Everyone leaves the saloon; the last one out is an actual skunk]

Skunk: My, weren't there a lot of skunks in here?

[Sam shoots again, causing the skunk to run away]

Yosemite Sam: Listen, stranger. This town isn't big enough fer the two of us!

Bugs Bunny: It isn't? Eh, pardon me, Mac. [exits the saloon, followed by construction noises until he returns] Now is it big enough?

[A much-larger city has been built behind the town]

Yosemite Sam: Naw, still isn't big enough.
