Oh. mercy me. It's a catastrophe.

If you are ill, how will

you ever deliver eggs this year?

Goodness gracious. Granny. don't you

think I'm worried about that also?

We must get a substitute

to! the Easter bunny light away.

It won't be easy. Granny.

I've got the perfect solution.

How about Bugs Bunny? He's a rabbit.

Bugs Bunny?

Oh. that's a great idea, Granny. Good luck.

MAN:

Okay. set up the next scene.

I really would like to be

your Easter bunny. Granny...

...but my contract says

I've gotta finish my pictures.

Oh. deal. I'm so disappointed.

Quiet on the set. Okay, roll them.

Noble knights of the Hound Table.

[CLEARS THROAT]

Ever since the accursed Black Knight

captured our Singing Sword...

...evil times hath befallen us.

One oi ye knights

must recover the Singing Sword.

[GLASS SHATTERS]

The Black Knight

has a file-breathing dragon.

But-- But-- But--

But the Black Knight is invincible.

Odds bodkins.

Hath the Knights of the Hound Table

turned chicken?

[ALL CLUCKING]

Okay. Bugs. we're ready 10! you.

They want me on the set. Granny. but

stick around. We'll work something out.

Oh. what a darling rabbit.

He'd be perfect as an Easter bunny.

[LAUGHING]

Only a fool would go after

the Singing Sword.

- A good idea, fool.

-What?

Unless you bring back

the Singing Sword...

...you will be put to the lack...

...burned at the stake and beheaded.

Be-- Be-- Beheaded?

[LAUGHING]

[CRYING]

They're ready 10!

the curtain sequence. Bugs.

See you in a bit, Granny.

All light. Quiet on the set.

This is a take. Roll them.

[SNORING]

So this is the Singing Sword. Big deal.

I wonder why they call it

the Singing Sword.

[SWORD SINGING]

SAM:

Drop that sword, Varmint.

Quick.

The Singing Sword's been stolen.

Wake up, fire-breathing lizard.

Stop breathing on me. you idiot.

Heh-heh. that was simple.

[SCREAMING]

Whoa. dragon. Whoa.

SAM:

Whoa!

[SPLASHES]

Stupid dragon.

How's the water. doc?

Open that bridge. Varmint!

Open ii. I say!

Close it! Close it! Close it up again!

Okay, rabbit, you forced me to use force.

[WHIP CRACKING]

Hiyah. dragon! Hiyah. dragon!

Hiyah. dragon!

Prepare yourself, rabbit.

I'm a-coming over the wall.

[CRASHES]

You idiot.

[SNEEZES]

[SNIFFLING]

No. No. Don't sneeze.

OI you'll blow us to the moon.

[DRAGON SNEEZES]

Dragons is so stupid.

Feel like picking up the hillbilly

square-dance sequence. Bugsy?

That's why I'm here. pal.

Okay. 'fellas. set up

the hillbilly dance number.

Excuse me. madam.

but I understand...

...you're looking for somebody

to play the part of an Easter egg.

Oh. deal me. no. not an Easter egg.

Wrong costume. huh?

Well. I'll just sashay

back to the wardrobe...

...and see you later, sister.

An Easter egg. Oh, that Daffy Duck...

...he's so silly.

Ha-ha-ha.

Quiet on the set. This is a take.

[IN HIGH VOICE] You'll care to practice

with me 10! the square dancing tomorrow?

Delighted. ma'am.

Same likewise. I'm sure. ma'am.

[GROWLS]

Oh. pardon me.

One of you gents got a spare nickel

so as I can juice up the jukebox?

- Here you is.

- Ma'am.

Thanks just all to pieces.

Sourbelly Trio. Coming light up.

Let's all square dance.

[SINGING]

Places all

Bow to your comer

Bow to your own

Three hands up and round you go

Break it up with a do-si-do

Chicken in the bread pan kicking out dough

Skip to my Lou, my darling

The old lady, out you pretty little thing

Promenade around the ring

Big foot up and little foot down

Make that big foot gather round

The lady steps back and two gents in

Back you go and forward again

Step right up with an elbow swing

Skip to my Lou, my darling

Allemande left with the old left hand

Follow through with a right-left grand

Meet your honey with a great big smile

Promenade Indian-style

[SINGING] Promenade across the our

Sashay right an out the dour

Out the dour and into the glade

And everybody promenade

Step right up, you're doing fine

I'll pull your beard you pull mine

Yank it again like you did before

Break it up with a tug of war

Now into the brook and fish for the trout

Dive right in and splash about

Trout, trout, pretty little trout

One more splash and come right out

Shake like a hound dog, shake again

Wallow around in the old pigpen

Wallow some more, you all know how

Roll around like an old fat sow

Allemande left with your left hand

Follow through with a right-left grand

Now leave your partner, the dirty old thing

Follow through with an elbow swing

Grab a fence post, hold it tight

Whomp your partner with all your might

Hit him in the shin, hit him in the head

Hit him again. the critter ain't dead

Whop him low and whop him high

Stick your finger in his eye

Pretty little ringing, pretty little sound

Bang your heads against the ground

Promenade all around the room

Promenade like a bride and groom

Open up the dour and step right in

Close the door and into a spin

Whirl, whirl, twist and twirl

Jump all around like a flying squirrel

Now don't you cuss and don't you swear

Just come right out and form a square

Now right hand over and left hand under

Both join hands and run like thunder

Over the hill and over the dale

Duck your head and lift your tail

Don't you stray and don't you roam

Turn around and promenade home

Corn in the crib and wheat in the sack

Turn your partner, promenade back

[THUDS]

And now you're home.

Bow to your partner.

Bow to the gent across the hall.

And that is all.

Bravo, Bugs. That was beautiful.

DAFFY:

Guess who?

- How's this, Granny?

-Merciful heavens.

Oh. I'm really sorry.

You're not what I had in mind.

I think I got an idea

that might work. Granny.

When I finish this next sequence...

...I'll introduce you to a couple of talented

friends of mine. They might help.

- Barbra Streisand and Clint Eastwood?

-No. Sylvester and Tweety Pie.

Oh?

DIRECTOR:
All set, Bugsy?

-Coming.

Roll 'em.

Well. here I am.

Hey. just a cotton-picking minute.

This don't look like

the Coachella Valley to me.

[CROWD CHEERING]

Hm. I knew I should have taken

that left turn at Albuquerque.

Oh, well, I'll just ask this gent

in the fancy knickerbockers.

I beg your paid--

Pardon me. sir.

but could you direct me...

...to the shortest route to the Coachella

Valley and the big carrot festival therein?

Meh. what's up. doc?

Stop steaming up my tail.

What are you trying to do. wrinkle it?

Let's see now. Coachella Valley. Hmm.

Into Las Vegas, San Bernardino.

Of course, you realize this means war.

[CROWD CHEERING]

[CLANGS]

[CROWD CHEERING]

[SNIFFS]

Ah. Me public.

[CROWD CHEERING]

Ha-ha-ha. What a gulli-bull.

Ha-ha-ha.

What a nin-cow-poop.

[CROWD CHEERING]

[SNORTS]

Friz Freleng

Isadore "Friz" Freleng (August 21, 1906 – May 26, 1995), often credited as I. Freleng, was an American animator, cartoonist, director, producer, and composer known for his work on the Warner Bros. Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of cartoons. He introduced and/or developed several of the studio's biggest stars, including Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, Tweety, Sylvester the Cat, Yosemite Sam (to whom he was said to bear more than a passing resemblance), and Speedy Gonzales. The senior director at Warners' Termite Terrace studio, Freleng directed more cartoons than any other director in the studio (a total of 266), and is also the most honored of the Warner directors, having won five Academy Awards and three Emmy Awards. After Warners shut down the animation studio in 1963, Freleng and business partner David H. DePatie founded DePatie–Freleng Enterprises, which produced cartoons (notably those for The Pink Panther Show), feature film title sequences, and Saturday-morning cartoons through the early 1980s. The nickname "Friz" came from his friend, Hugh Harman, who initially nicknamed him "Congressman Frizby" after a fictional senator who appeared in satirical pieces in the Los Angeles Examiner. Over time, this shortened to "Friz". more…
