Eligible Bachelors is the 10th episode of The Looney Tunes Show.

Plot

The neighborhood’s most annoying bachelorette, Lola Bunny, ends a bidding war for Bugs when she puts $100,000 on the table. She takes Bugs and flies him to Paris to see the Louvre, Eiffel Tower and Versailles, hoping the City of Lights will lead to amour. Daffy's is a much cheaper date, and Granny bids on him so she can have some help cleaning her attic. She regales the reluctant duck with tales of her time in Paris during World War II, and Daffy is riveted.

• Granny: Oh, my bachelor.
  Daffy: Knock off the pleasantries, grandma. Let's get this date over with. So what's the plan? Dinner, movie, moonlight stroll on the beach?

  Bugs: What?
  Lola: For our date! We're going to Paris, you know, the city of Lourve!

• (Bugs and Lola are on the plane)
  Lola: Ugh, I'm so bored. I've read all of my magazines, I've answered the crossword.

  Pilot: Flight Attendants, please prepare the cabin for takeoff!

  Lola: The Lourve is an art museum? I thought it was a mall... Oh well, when in Rome.
• (Bugs and Lola stand before the Eiffle Tower)
  Lola: Stonehenge... one of the oldest structures in the world.

Trivia
