Quotations

Eddie, I could never hurt anybody--Ow! My whole purpose in life is to... make... people... laugh!

Is there nothing that can permeate that impervious puss?

Boy, did you see that? Nobody takes a wallop like Goofy. What timing! What finesse! What a genius!

(As Eddie "entertains" the weasels) Hey, Eddie! Keep it up! You're "killing 'em"! You're "slaying 'em"! You're "knocking 'em dead"!

Nice shirt. Who's your tailor? Quasimodo?

P-p-please, Eddie. You know there's no justice for toons anymore. If the weasels get their hands on me, I'm as good as dipped!

I can give you stars, look! (hits himself with a frying pan) Look! (hits himself again) Look! (keeps hitting himself)

Jeepers! Another stupid newsreel. I hate the news!

Here's to the pencil pushers. May they all get lead poisoning.

[moves the street line towards a wall, Hyena crashes into the wall] Toons. Gets 'em every time.
