Bugs Bunny

  • And the gentleman wins a cigar!
  • He-he-he-he-he, what a goon!

Colonel Shuffle

  • Why for did you splash me in the Mississippi mud?
  • Why did you dunk my poor old hide in Old Man River, when I bought a loge seat?

Dialogue

Colonel Shuffle: I'm Colonel Shuffle, the rip-roarin'est, gold-diggin'est, sharp-shootin'est, poker-playin'est riverboat gambler on the Mississippi! Yahoo! Be there anyone man enough to sit in a poker game with Colonel Shuffle? Well, be there?
Bugs Bunny: There be.
