• [last lines] Oh well. We almost had a romantic ending!

Dialogue

Colonel Shuffle: I'm Colonel Shuffle, the rip-roarin'est, gold-diggin'est, sharp-shootin'est, poker-playin'est riverboat gambler on the Mississippi! Yahoo! Be there anyone man enough to sit in a poker game with Colonel Shuffle? Well, be there?

Bugs Bunny: There be.
