Daffy Duck : [on an island in the distance] Hey, come here! Come here! Give me a close-up. A close-up!

Daffy Duck : [after his parachute is turned into an anvil and he crashes to the ground, he is beating on the anvil with a hammer and babbling a passage from The Village Smithy by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow] "Under a spreading chestnut-tree, The village smithy stands; The smith, a mighta-ty man is he, With strong and sinewy..."
[while he is doing this, the anvil is erased and is replaced with an explosive shell pointing straight up. After a few more hits, the bomb explodes]
Daffy Duck : ...H-Hands...
[Shakes himself off]
Daffy Duck : All right. Enough is enough. This is the final, the - the very, very last straw! Who's responsible for this? This... I demand that you show yourself! Who are you? Huh?
[as he's venting, a doorway with an open door is drawn around him, then the door is pushed closed by the eraser]

Daffy Duck : [Daffy gets redrawn as a cowboy with a guitar. He shrugs, then attempts to play the guitar and sing, but no sound comes out of either. Daffy then holds up a sign that reads "SOUND PLEASE!" Then the sound of a needle dropping on a record is heard. When he tries to play the guitar, he first gets the sound of a machine gun, then the sound of a classic car horn. He then throws down the guitar in a fit, smashing it, to the sound of a gunshot and donkey braying. After he picks up the damaged guitar, he takes it off stage then returns and tries to yell at the cartoonist, but each time he tries, farm and jungle animal noises come out of his mouth. His eyes then turn red and bloodshot, and he starts yelling in frustration and his voice returns] And I've never been so humiliated in all my life!

Daffy Duck : I'll tell you what. You go your way, and I'll go mine. Live and let live. Right? Right. Ladies and gentlemen, there will be no further delays, so I shall attempt to entertain you in my own iniminiminitable fashion.

Daffy Duck : [after the island paradise disappears] Buster, it may come as a complete surprise to you to find that this is an animated cartoon, and that in animated cartoons they have scenery, and in all the years I've...
[as he's venting, he is slowly being erased from feet up and is silenced when his face is erased]
Daffy Duck : All right wise guy, where am I?

[projector sticks between frames]
Daffy Duck : Now what?
Daffy Duck : What are you doing down there?
Daffy Duck : Down here? What are you doing up there?

Daffy Duck : *Down* here.

Daffy Duck : [to a duplicate Daffy Duck] Listen, bud, if you wasn't me, I'd smack you right in the puss.
Daffy Duck : Don't let that bother you, Jack.
Daffy Duck : Okay, buddy, you asked for it.

Daffy Duck : [Artist has re-drawn him as a weird flower-like creature, with a three-sided flag of a screw and a ball, titling Daffy as a SCREWBALL] That's strange. All of a sudden I don't quite feel like myself. Oh, I feel all right, and yet I... I uh...
[Sees his figure in a mirror]
Daffy Duck : EEEEEK! YOU KNOW BETTER THAN THAT!

Daffy Duck : What a way to run a railroad.

Daffy Duck : Stand back, musketeers, they shall sample my blade! Touché!

Daffy Duck : [is redrawn as a sailor] Hmm. Sea picture, eh? I always wanted to do a sea epic. Now, Mr. Rembrandt, if you'll kindly oblige with a little appropriate scenery.

Daffy Duck : [singing] Over the sea, let's go, men. We're shovin' right off, we're shovin' right off... again?
[falls into the sea]

Daffy Duck : Would it be too much to ask if we could make up our minds, hmmmm?
