The Challenge of Becoming Chief Easter Bunny
Peter Cottontail
But - I-I never dreamed I'd get to be Chief Easter Bunny!
Col. Wellington B. Bunny

Peter Cottontail
Oh... Well, I guess I did think about the job once or twice. Uh, lots of times.
[chuckles nervously; his ear inches halfway back up; his ear springs straight up]
Colonel Bunny

Evaluating Peter Cottontail's Qualities and Potential
Col. Wellington B. Bunny
Wait! Peter Cottontail! Just a moment, now here's a likely candidate.
Colonel Bunny's Assistant
Well, I really don't think Cottontail's your man, sir. I mean, he is boastful, he has no sense of responsibility, and sometimes - sometimes, he fibs.
Colonel Bunny
Oh, well, I know he's not perfect, but he's got real spunk and ingenuity. Reminds me of me when I was his age.

Timing and Traditions in April Valley
Peter Cottontail
We made it.
[after landing in Independence Day]
Antoine
That, mon ami, is obvious. Thanks, of course, to my superb... piloting.
Peter Cottontail
Superb? We're a long way from Easter.
Antoine
Ahh, well... Tell me, Pierre. In the rules of April Valley, does it say the eggs must be given at Easter?
Peter Cottontail
No, but - But who wants Easter eggs on the Fourth of July? Uh, they didn't even want them on Mother's Day!
Antoine
Easter eggs, no. But... Fourth of July eggs? What I am saying, mon ami, is that one sometimes must improvise.

The Art of Selling Colors and Magic
Seymour S. Sassafras
I'm a peddler by trade; by trade, and by golly, by golly, by golly, I deal in magic, and moonbeams, and pretty, pretty colors. Ohhhhh, yes. I could sell you the most perfect pink, or the most blissful blue, or a simply euphoric yellow.

The Magic of Bubble Gum's Silence
Seymour S. Sassafras
You see? It was magic bubble gum, guaranteed to seal the lips of an alarm clock rooster. Those bubbles cock-a-doodle-dooed so far away, Peter never heard them. He slept on and on and on, all through Easter day.

Unexpected Pillow Choice in Conversation
Seymour S. Sassafras
Uh, beg pardon, Peter.
[''seeing Peter sleeping on his foot'']
Peter Cottontail
Huh?
[''awakening'']
Seymour S. Sassafras
You're sleeping on my big toe. You really must have been tuckered out to use a big toe as a pillow.
Peter Cottontail
Gee... I'm sorry, Mr. Sassafras.
Seymour S. Sassafras
Well, that's all right. It's my pleasure, Peter. Rather, my big toe's pleasure.

The Consequence of Unpleasantness in April Valley
Seymour S. Sassafras
Now, nobody wanted an egg from an unpleasant old bunny like Irontail. As a matter of fact, though he tried all day long, he was only able to give away one single egg. However, since Peter slept through Easter and didn't deliver any eggs at all, Irontail won, and he now ruled April Valley.

The Importance of Hope in Adversity
Bonnie Bonnet
Oh, Peter! You've just about run out of holidays.

And it's all my fault. If I didn't go to that party in the first place, I wouldn't have overslept, and if I didn't tell so many fibs, lots of people would've taken my eggs. But now, it's hopeless. Who wants green eggs?
Seymour S. Sassafras
Oh, Peter, Peter, the most important thing is that you just don't give up hope.

Peter Cottontail
George Washington always had green eggs. Why, they were traditional at Mount Vernon, when he chopped down the uh... lime tree? Uh, remember?
[his ear droops]
Woman
Washington couldn't tell a fib. I can't say the same for Georgie bunnies.
