The Wise Quacking Duck

Daffy Duck

 * [first lines, upon seeing the audience] Oh, it's you! You gotta excuse my nerves. You see, it's duck season and confidentially, I'm a duck!
 * [last lines] Obviously, I am dealing with inferior mentalities.

Dialogue

 * Daffy Duck: Look, you want a duck, right? And you want a duck, right? Well, both of you can't have me. Look, I'll tell you what. We'll settle this in a sporting fashion. You see that lonesome pine over there? Whoever reaches that tree will get tender, juicy me as first prize. On your marks, get set, go!
 * [the dust of Elmer Fudd's quick start makes Daffy Duck think that Elmer Fudd and the fox both ran to the pine tree]
 * Daffy Duck: So long, chumps!
 * Fox: Not so fast, my little feathered friend.
