 * [The Singing Sword vibrates, performing the musical tune "Cuddle Up a Little Closer" waking Yosemite Sam up]

[whacks the dragon with a mace] Wake up, you fire-breathin' lizard! Ow! [The dragon's fire burns Yosemite Sam] And stop breathin' on me, ya idjit! [whacks him again]
 * Bugs Bunny: [laughs] That was simple.
 * [Yosemite Sam rides on his dragon and chases Bugs. The dragon breathes fire on Bugs' tail and Bugs ducks into a hole]
 * Yosemite Sam: Whoa, dragon, whoa! [slides off his dragon and Bugs then runs back to the castle and the drawbridge closes] Whoa! [slides off the dragon and falls into the moat] Stupid dragon.
 * Bugs Bunny: How's the water, Doc?
 * Yosemite Sam: Open that bridge, varmint! Open it, I say! [the drawbridge drops on top of Yosemite Sam] Close it! Close it! Close it up again! [The drawbridge opens, leaving a flattened Yosemite Sam] Okay, rabbit, ya forced me to use force!
