Here, I work myself down to the skin and bones tryin' to keep this guy asleep! And what do you do!? Blow whistles! Just when I got things so quiet, you can hear a pin drop, you bust in here and bust out with a whistle, and you snafu the whole works! How in all in the name that's reasonable do you expect a guy to get his slumber when a goof like you goes around makin' noises like a one-man Fourth of July celebration!? He needs PEACE, and QUIIIIIET! It's positively OUTRAGEOUS! [last line] Noisy little character, isn't he! Dialogue Narrator: Once upon a time, there was a labor shortage! It became so bad that employers would hire anyone or anything! Daffy Duck: Yes, sir! Elmer Fudd: Take this gentleman to suite 666. Daffy Duck: Yes siree, sir! Businessman: Just one more thing. I'm a tired man. I gotta have my sleep, plenty of it. So see to it that I get lots of peace and quiet. [grabs Elmer by the collar] BECAUSE IF I'M DISTURBED AT ANYTIME, I'M GONNA BUST YOU RIGHT IN THE NOSE! Daffy Duck: Likeable chap, isn't he? Businessman: May I go to my room, now? I'd like a little rest.
