The Little Giant

James Francis 'Bugs':
[Pointing at a Cubist painting] You ever see anything like that before?

Albert J. 'Al' Daniels:
Not since I been off cocaine.

James Francis 'Bugs':
No, dumb head! I suppose you think that's a cat havin' a fit in a bucket of tomato ketchup. Well, it ain't! That's art!

James Francis 'Bugs':
The toughest mug in Chicago comes out here and gets trimmed by a lot of fags with handkerchiefs up their sleeves.

James Francis 'Bugs':
I'm gonna mingle with the upper classes. I'm gonna be a gentleman!

James Francis 'Bugs':
Yesiree. I'm a young guy that knows all the answers and got my whole life before me. Yeah, and I'm all washed up with mugs. I know I came from the gutter, but I'm steppin' right out of it. I'm gonna meet some real people, do something worthwhile, amount to somethin'!

Albert J. 'Al' Daniels:
When you meet these people, what are you gonna talk about? Machine guns and beer?

James Francis 'Bugs':
Oh, I'll manage to talk to them all right, and they'll listen. Say, I've been readin' a lot. I've been studyin'. I ain't been wastin' my time these last months. Whattaya think I've been readin' in all them books for? Here! [Indicating "Plato's Republic"] Greek philosphy! Pluto! Yeah, I bet you thought Pluto was a waiter. Ah, I'm just crawlin' with education. I've been readin' all them Greeks. They do plenty besides shinin' shoes and runnin' lunchrooms.

Albert J. 'Al' Daniels:
[after he hears him ordering from a waiter in French] Where did you learn to talk this monkey jabber?

James Francis 'Bugs':
I used to have 10% of a French dame.

Mug with Dictionary Gift:
Hey, what state's California in?

Timothy 'Tim':
Texas, ya' dummy.

Mug with Dictionary Gift:
That's right.

James Francis 'Bugs':
Say, what's that?

Ruth Wayburn:
That's a famous Siamese beauty.

James Francis 'Bugs':
Where's the other one?

Ruth Wayburn:
What?

James Francis 'Bugs':
I always thought they was twins.

James Francis 'Bugs':
I'm in love with a girl - a lady, very rich, fine family, swell education - everything that I ain't got.

Ruth Wayburn:
I see.

James Francis 'Bugs':
Well, anyhow, I'm a pretty tough mug myself. I came from the gutter, and I guess you can still smell it on me. The only school I went to is reform school.

Mug with Flowers Gift:
Hey, Bugs, take dese while you can still smell 'em.
