O: Oh I'm sorry, is this a five minute argument, or the full half hour?
M: Ah! (taking out his wallet and paying) Just the five minutes.
O: Just the five minutes. Thank you.

Hank: You know what I hate?
Brent: Big Tobacco? The gun lobby? Roller blades?
Hank: No, no, and kind of. But I was talkin' about things you see in a TV show that would never work in real life. Huh?
Brent: Ah, gotcha. Understood. No need for an example.
Hank: Take Bugs Bunny...
Brent: [sigh] Not the glove thing again?! Look, he leaves the glove up in the air so the opera singer keeps singin'. Then he goes and sends away for some earmuffs—
Hank: No no no, I'm not talkin' about that! That's clearly an example of exaggeration to make a comedic point! I'm talkin about when Daffy keeps sayin', "shoot the rabbit", and Bugs keeps sayin', "shoot the duck", and Daffy keeps sayin', "shoot the rabbit", and Bugs keeps sayin', "shoot the duck", until eventually, Bugs says, "shoot the rabbit", and Daffy says, "shoot the duck", and Daffy gets shot.
Brent: [confused expression] ...This been keepin' you up nights?
Hank: Well, it's just that it would never work!
Brent: Yes it would.
Hank: No it wouldn't!
Brent: Yes it would.
Hank: No it wouldn't!
Brent: No it wouldn't.
Hank: Yes it would, Brent! Stop fightin' me on this!
Brent: All right, then. [goes back to reading his comic book]
[Hank chuckles smugly to himself, then realizes what just happened]
Corner Gas, "Key to the Future"

Tee-hee-hee! Daffy Duck's animosity towards the Bugs Bunny character is so intense, that he fails to see when Bugs has presented him an opportunity for victory! Instead of... of maintaining an awareness of the words being used, Daffy's rage is so blinding that he that he frames his statements in pure contrariness to Bugs', which results in his getting shot in the face! AHAHA! Had he been less angry, he might have acted on Bugs Bunny saying "Rabbit season," but he too strongly conflated his desire to disagree with his opponent and his desire to defeat him! And it was that very desire to disagree that prevented him from fulfilling his goal of outwitting Bugs Bunny, and in doing so saving himself from harm! The irony is staggering! Ahahahahahahaha!
