Bugs Bunny

• Bugs Bunny was here!
• South America, take it away!
• A million bucks! Now, that's more like it. Bugs Bunny, King of the Beasts! (He thumps his chest passionately while he screams out a Tarzan yell)
• (As he finds himself surrounded by delayed-action missiles) Ehh, could it be that I carried this thing too far? [the shells around him explode]
  
• (in Alcatraz) Ehhhh, could be.

Dialogue

[Bugs casually strolls into the Game Commissioner's office, and grabs him by the throat]

Bugs Bunny: Eh... WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA OF RABBITS BEING ONLY WORTH 2 CENTS?!

Game Commissioner: STOP STEAMING UP MY GLASSES!

Bugs Bunny: Never mind that. How come rabbits are only two cents? Huh?

Game Commissioner: Well, other animals are destructive, harmful, obnoxious to people. They do damage.

Bugs Bunny: Nyeh, tell me more, Doc.

Game Commissioner: Rabbits are sweet, furry little creatures. They wouldn't harm a hair on your head.

Bugs Bunny: Eh, get him. Hee hee. He don't know me very well, do he?

Game Commissioner: Rabbits are perfectly harmless, and the bounty stands at two cents!

Bugs Bunny: Oh, yeah?!

[He then grabs a pen, and sprays the Commissioner with ink. He then proceeds to repeatedly slash the pen across his face]

Bugs Bunny: Well, I'll show you a rabbit can be more obnoxious than anybody!

[Smashes the pen into the desk]

Bugs Bunny: You can't get away with it! You'll be hearing from me!

Southern Senator Congressman: I demands, I say, I demands a price on Bugs Bunny's head. Noggin, this is. That low down miserable good-for-nothin' hare must die! [slams desk]

Bugs Bunny: Hare! Die! Hair dye! That's a joke, son! Ya missed it! Admit it, son, I'm too fast for ya!
