Big House Bunny (1950)

Bugs Bunny: [after being beaten up by Sam] Eh, what's up, Doc?
Yosemite Sam Schultz: Trying to pull a escape, 777174, eh?
Bugs Bunny: Oh, you're mistaken, Mac. You see, I'm not 777174. I'm only three and a half.
Yosemite Sam Schultz: Three and a half? Okay, so you're three and a half.
[Cut to Bugs, cracking rocks and wearing a prisoner uniform with the number 3½]
Bugs Bunny: Eh, my mother told me there'd be days like this.

Yosemite Sam Schultz: [training his rifle on Bugs] I'm gonna give you solitary confinement for 99 years!
Bugs Bunny: Eh, you wouldn't be so tough if you weren't wearing that uniform!
Yosemite Sam Schultz: Oh, I wouldn't, huh?
[Both take off their uniforms]
Yosemite Sam Schultz: [sparring] Yeah, right hook. Left to the jaw.
Bugs Bunny: Yep, I guess you would, all right.
[Bugs puts on Sam's uniform, while Sam puts on Bugs' prisoner uniform; Bugs blows whistle and guards beat up Sam and drag him away]

Yosemite Sam Schultz: [directing Bugs into a prison cell] Now get in there!
[Bugs enters the cell and Sam locks it, then laughs wickedly]
Bugs Bunny: Gee, I don't get it, Doc. How come you locked me outside?
Yosemite Sam Schultz: Outside? Why, you're *inside*!
Bugs Bunny: [chuckles] Oh, no, I'm not; I'm outside. *You're* inside.
Yosemite Sam Schultz: I am?
[opens the door]
Yosemite Sam Schultz: Well, then get in here!
[Sam switches places with Bugs; Bugs closes the cell, takes the key and leaves]
Bugs Bunny: [mockingly] Boo-hoo. Now I'll never see my wife and kiddies again. Boo-hoo-hoo.

An original scene had Bugs running up a gallows to escape Sam; he uses the trap door like an elevator, and when Sam tries, he gets hung in the noose (he kicks and curses in the rope). This was edited from most broadcasts. However, the fully uncut version appears on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection DVD.
