    • Quotes
      • Daffy Duck: Say, here's a little gadget you're gonna love. Give me that.
      • [Takes off Elmer's bow tie]
      • Elmer Fudd: Hey!
      • [Mechanical arms drop down with a tie]
      • Daffy Duck: Ties any knot you want. Bow, four-in-hand, five-in-hand, false granny, Windsor, Schmindsor... Well, let's try this one.
      • [Pushes button]
      • Elmer Fudd: [gags as the arms choke him with the tie as a noose] Help! Get me down!
      • Daffy Duck: Whoops! Wrong button. Uh, that's the Alcatraz ascot.
    • Alternate versions
      In some prints of the cartoon, the part where Elmer wants to go upstairs but discovers his stairs are missing is not present, and just fades to Daffy explaining there are no stairs in a home like that and takes Elmer up on a moving platform.
