Daffy Dilly
Daffy Dilly is a 1948 Merrie Melodies cartoon directed by Chuck Jones. "Daffy Dilly" is notable for being another early example of a greedy, self-centered Daffy (with some "screwball" elements), as perfected by Jones.
- Directed by Chuck Jones. Produced by Eddie Selzer. Story by Michael Maltese.
- Now don't crowd, folks. Don't crowd. [pause] Well, isn't anybody gonna crowd?
- [last line of the short film; after being hit in his face with pies, Daffy wipes each one off] It's a living.
Dialogue

- Daffy Duck: A likely story! I see it all now, you and the upstairs maid. "Do the old boy in" you said. "Elderberry wine and old lace" you said. "Then, the quick getaway" you said. Rio De Janerio, tropical nights, romance and a heavy bank account!
- Butler: No! No!
- Daffy Duck: Yes! Yes! But, you weren't smart enough John. Alias Johnnie. Alias Jack. Alias Jackie! Phew! What's Humphrey Bogart got that I ain't got?
