Hare Force (1944) - full transcript
Granny has just tucked Sylvester the dog in for the night when she hears a knock at the door. She opens it and sees a half-frozen Bugs Bunny, who is exaggerating his sorry plight for effect. Granny buys the act and lets Bugs sleep right next to Sylvester in front of the fireplace. But the jealous dog is having none of it. The first chance he gets, he throws Bugs back out in the cold. Bugs plays on the dog's pity to get back in but can't resist a dirty trick. When a snow sculpture of himself melts, Sylvester thinks it's the real rabbit and succumbs to paroxysms of guilt before he discovers the ruse. From then on, the two play a game of one-upmanship that ends when Granny gets in on the game.

There. Just as snug
as a bug in a rug.
Eh, Sylvester?
Goodnight.
Pleasant dreams.
[Knock on door]
Mercy's sakes.
Now, who could
that be
Out in a night like this?
Heavens to betsy!
A poor, little rabbit
out in the cold.
Why, you must be frozen
Almost to death.
Here. You get
right over here
By the fire,
Where it's
nice and warm.
There. You dear,
little bunny.
Mmm mmm mmm.
Now, Sylvester,
you take good care
Of the poor,
little bunny.
Goodnight...
little bunny.
Eh, what's up, doc?
Duh, that's what's up.
Hey, let me in.
You heard what
the old lady said.
Come on! Open up!
Open up, will ya?
Bugs: help.
[Coughing]
Help.
I'm catchin' pneumonia.
[Coughing
and wheezing]
I'm dyin'.
[Gulp]
Bugs: good-Bye.
Farewell.
[Bugs coughing]
Don't worry,
little bunny rabbit.
It's not good-Bye.
Duh, please don't
let it be good-Bye,
Little bunny.
I've done a bad thing.
I've melted
the little bunny.
I've killed the little bunny.
You're really
in a jam now, doc.
It's the hot seat
for you, sure.
What's going on
down there?
Uh! What did I do?
Quick! In here!
Hide in here!
Here! In here!
Quick!
Ah, too obvious.
Hey! In here!
Come on! Shake it!
Sure. That's it!
Goodnight, sylvester!
Don't forget your rubbers.
Heh heh heh!

[Bugs humming
as time goes by]
A kiss is still
a kiss, a sigh--
Woman:
Sylvester?
Sylvester!
What on earth
are-- Are--
Oh, how sweet.
I won't disturb them.
Gee, I'm awfully sorry.
That was awfully
unsporting of me--
Hitting you
when you wasn't looking.
Aw, don't
mention it.
It was nothin'.
All you did
was this.
Now, if you
had done this
Or... this,
I'd have gotten sore
and done this.
But you didn't.
All you did
was... this!
So there's no need
for apologies, doc.
Say!
Duh, wait a minute,
wise guy.
Oh, a spoilsport, huh?
Yeah. Wanna make
somethin' of it?
Yeah.
Come on outside.
Duh. Oh, boy.
Oh, boy. Oh, boy.
That's all I want.
That's all I want.
One-Two. One-Two.
One on the button.
One on the jaw.
A left and a right.
A right and a left.
Boy, is he gonna get it.
[Muttering]
Bugs: ah, how's the weather
out there, john l.?
[Crash]
[Humming
as time goes by]
A kiss is
still a kiss
A sigh is
just a sigh...
[Sylvester howling]
As time goes by
[Sylvester howling]
Well, I can't
leave him out there
To freeze, can I?
Duh, you must remember this
The kiss is still a kiss
The sigh is still a sigh
[Loud knocking]

Yeah. Me.
In the flesh.
Duh, now out you go
once and for all.
On the contrary,
Out you go
once and for all.
Oh, no. Now you go
once and for all!
Oh, no. Out you go
once and for all.
Sylvester: you stay out!
