- Hamton J. Pig: You tried to cheat madame! You put your name on her script! But I took care of that.
- Montana Max: You mean?
- Hamton J. Pig: Yes! I put madame's name on your script.
- Montana Max: You slime!
- Plucky Duck: [watching from afar, chuckling] Monty's been had!
- Hamton J. Pig: I cannot let her be destroyed. You see, I made Elmyra Desmond a star.
- Montana Max: Ha! You?
- Hamton J. Pig: There were three young directors who showed promise in those days: Cooper Deville, some other guy whose name I can't remember, and ME!
- [Monty and Plucky gasp]
- Hamton J. Pig: And I gave it all up for Elmyra. You see, I was her first... pet.
- Elmyra Duff: Don't you think that I'm cute?
- Montana Max: I recognize that voice. You're Elmyra Desmond, star of all those "Cutesy Toon" cartoons back in the thirties. You used to be big.
- Elmyra Duff: I AM big! It's the CARTOONS that got small!
- Montana Max: [to camera] It's her MIND that got small.
- Montana Max: [narrating] So she brought me into her inner sanctum to talk shop. Meanwhile, the camera did this endless, tricky 360 degree pan that... never really paid off.
