 * No more classes, no more books, no more teachers dirty looks! Yahoo! Free summer vacation! Yahoo! Ya-Ya-Yahoo! Hey! Just an apple polishing minute! What is all this? Why, I haven't been in school, since I was a little bitty bunny... [hits a tree]
 * [as the scene changes back to the present day, where Bugs Bunny is laying next to a tree] I'm glad I'm not young anymore, but, ya know, I bet Elmer and I were the youngest people who ever start chasing each other. [notices the little Wile E Coyote chasing the unhatched Road Runner] I could be wrong, ya know!
