Mel Blanc: Bugs Bunny, Wile E. Coyote

Quotes 

• Wile E. Coyote : Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Wile E. Coyote, genius. I am not selling anything nor am I working my way through college.

  Bugs Bunny : I...

  Wile E. Coyote : So let's get down to cases: you are a rabbit, and I am going to eat you for supper.

  [warningly] 

  Wile E. Coyote : Now, don't try to get away! I am more muscular, more cunning, faster, and larger than you are, and I am a genius. Why you could hardly pass the entrance examinations to kindergarten.

  [Bugs yawns] 

  Wile E. Coyote : So I'll give you the customary two minutes to say your prayers.

  Bugs Bunny : I'm sorry, Mac, the lady of the house ain't home. And besides, we mailed you people a check last week.

  [shuts the door then descends into his home as Wile E. folds up the door and leaves] 

  Wile E. Coyote : Why do they always want to do it the hard way?

• Bugs Bunny : [Wile E. is setting up a pressure cooker on the entrance to Bugs' burrow]  Eh, what's cooking, Doc?

  Wile E. Coyote : Rabbit stew. Gad, I'm such a genius!

  Bugs Bunny : Mmm, smells mighty good. But there's only one little thing wrong with it.

  Wile E. Coyote : There is? What?

  Bugs Bunny : No rabbit.

  [Wile E. opens the pressure cooker and looks inside; Bugs kicks him inside, closes the cooker, grabs a club, and heads for the back door] 

  Bugs Bunny : [singing]  I'm looking over, a three-leaf clover, that I overlooked bethree...

  [Inside, he hits Wile E. over the head] 

  Wile E. Coyote : Well, back to the old drawing board.

• Wile E. Coyote : Brilliance. That's all I can say. Sheer, unadulterated brilliance!

• [last lines] 

  Wile E. Coyote : Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Mud.

  [faints] 

  Bugs Bunny : And remember, Mud spelled backwoids is Dum.

• Bugs Bunny : I have come to give myself up on account of I cannot fight no more against such genius.

  Wile E. Coyote : A wise decision, my friend. You have just saved yourself from a fate worse than the frying pan.

  Bugs Bunny : I have only one last request. I have made out my last will and testament, but I need a witness to make it official. Would you sign it with this fountain pen?

  [hands Wile E. the will and a lit dynamite stick for a pen] 

  Wile E. Coyote : Certainly, my boy. Delighted to be of service. Very amateurish attempt on my person.

  [Wile E. extinguishes fuse, throws stick up in the air repeatedly - not noticing the lit fuse on the other end] 

  Wile E. Coyote : Being a genius certainly has its advantages.

  [notices lit fuse, dynamite explodes] 

• Wile E. Coyote : Wile E. Coyote, Supergenius.

  [hears a train whistle] 

  Wile E. Coyote : I like the way that rolls out. Wile E. Coyote, Supergenius.

  [the train approaches the shack where Wile E. took refuge in. Wile E. can only close the drape to brace himself for the inevitable explosion. After that, the burnt coyote is seen grabbing a dead limb while the train rolls out intact; sarcastically] 

  Wile E. Coyote : Wile E. Coyote, Supergenius.

• Wile E. Coyote : [after sending an exploding female rabbit decoy, encounters a female coyote decoy at his door]  Ah, my darling. How beautiful you are. How devastating! How lucky! Little did you dream that one day you would marry a genius.

  Bugs Bunny : Fight fire with fire, I always say.

  [Detonates the decoy] 

  Wile E. Coyote : [singing while blackened and dazed]  Here comes the bride, all dressed in...

  [Sees the rabbit decoy, about to explode] 

  Wile E. Coyote : Oh, nnno!

  [Runs to toss it out the window, but it explodes before he can]
