• Bugs Bunny : What's the hassle, Schmasel?

  Yosemite Sam : My orders from General Lee is to hold the Mason-Dixie line, and no Yankees are crossing it.

  Bugs Bunny : General Lee? Why, the War between the States ended almost 90 years ago.

  Yosemite Sam : I'm no clock watcher.

• Yosemite Sam : Well, it's one of our boys.

  Bugs Bunny : [in blackface, shuffling along playing a banjo]  The sun shines bright in my old Kentucky home...

  Yosemite Sam : Hey there, boy. How about giving out with something peppy on that skin-box, huh?

  Bugs Bunny : Ya, over. Yankee Doodle went to town a-riding on a pony...

  Yosemite Sam : Yankee doodle? You traitor!

  Bugs Bunny : [Hands Sam a whip]  Don't beat me, Masser! Please don't beat me, Masser! Don't beat that tired old body! No, don't!

  [Exits; returns disguised as Abraham Lincoln] 

  Bugs Bunny : What's this I hear about you whipping slaves?

  Yosemite Sam : But, but, but, but, bu-but...

  Bugs Bunny : Never mind the buts. Here's my card. Look me up at my Gettysburg address.

• Bugs Bunny : What carrots. Look at this tired specimen. I haven't see a decent carrot for months around these parts.

  [Reads a newspaper headline] 

  Bugs Bunny : "Record carrot crop in Alabama." Alabama? Well, I'm Alabamy bound!

• Bugs Bunny : [Disguised as a Southern belle]  Oh, it's one of our boys.

  Yosemite Sam : Sorry, Scarlet, ma'am. Sorry to have to intrude, but there's a Yankee about.

  Bugs Bunny : Oh! A Yankee? How terrible!

  Yosemite Sam : I'm afraid I'll have to search your premises.

  Bugs Bunny : [Standing in front of a door]  He's not in here! He's not in here!

  Yosemite Sam : Aha! So that's where he's hiding! Sorry, Scarlet, ma'am, but I have to do my duty. Okay, Yankee! Stick 'em...

  [Opens door, a cannon fires on his face] 

  Yosemite Sam : ... up.

  Bugs Bunny : [Standing in front of another door]  He's not in here! He's not in here!

  Yosemite Sam : I'll take your word for it, ma'am.

• Bugs Bunny : I wonder why they... put the south so far south.

• Bugs Bunny : [Disguised as Confederate soldier]  Coronel, the Yankees... the Yankees, they're in Chattanooga.

  Yosemite Sam : Chattanoogee? Charge!

  [Cut to a stadium, where the Yankees are playing an exhibition game against Chattanooga; Sam has the Yankees held up in their dugout] 

  Yosemite Sam : The first dang Yankee to step out of that dugout gets his head blasted off.

• Yosemite Sam : Great horny toads! I'm up north.

  [Runs back to the Mason Dixon line] 

  Yosemite Sam : Gotta burn my boots. They touched Yankee soil.
