Duck! Rabbit, Duck! is a 1953 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies cartoon directed by Charles M. Jones. The cartoon was released on October 3, 1953 and stars Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and Elmer Fudd.

Dialogue

Daffy Duck: All right now, let's go over it once more: now, what are you?

Elmer Fudd: I'm a hunter.

Daffy Duck: And what season is it?

Elmer Fudd: Wabbit season.

Daffy Duck: [pointing to Bugs] And there's a rabbit! Shoot him! Shoot him!

[Elmer hurries over to blast Bugs, but actually just blasts to smithereens a snowman dummy version of him]

Elmer Fudd: Good heavens! He disintegwated.

---

Daffy Duck: Got rid of him, eh?

Bugs Bunny: Yep, that takes care of him. Eh, now tell me, what season is it? Really?

Daffy Duck: [chuckles] Don't be so naivé, buster. Why, everybody knows it's really duck season.

[A number of hunters emerge from behind snowy hills and begin blasting Daffy. By the time they stop, Daffy is lying on the ground, battered and broken. He begins to crawl in agony towards Bugs]

Daffy Duck: [grabs on to Bugs, and raises himself to his face] You're despicable!
