[Bugs is at Cecil's door, disguised as an old man]

Cecil Turtle:
Hello, old timer.

Bugs Bunny:

Cecil Turtle:
Clean living, friend. Clean living.

Bugs Bunny:
That ain't the way I heard it, Johnny. The way I heard it, you have a secret way of winning. What is it, huh?

Cecil Turtle:

Cecil Turtle:
[Pulls out a blueprint of his shell] You can see for yourself, we got an airflow chassis. Yes siree, Pop. An airflow chassis. [Taps his shell] Now take rabbits. They're built all wrong for racing.

Cecil Turtle:
