Members Only is the 2nd broadcast episode and the 3rd produced episode of The Looney Tunes Show.
Plot
Daffy is leaning against a tree and staring at a distant country club. He then tries to get into the Royal Oaks Glen Oaks Oakwood Oaks Country Club and the receptionist, thinking that Daffy's a club member, asks for his membership number. The receptionist soon realizes that Daffy isn't a member when he tries offering "1" and then "2" as his membership numbers, which aren't valid numbers for the club. After the exchange, the receptionist tells Daffy to leave, as the club itself is strictly "members only." As he's reluctantly leaving, he overhears someone’s membership number (1673). He waits until the previous woman's shift ends, then goes in and uses it to get into the club. Then he starts charging lots of stuff to the unfortunate member, but not before he's accidentally hit in the face with a golf ball.
Daffy returns later with Bugs as his guest. Bugs is impressed by all the stuff at the club but is suspicious as to how someone like Daffy could've become a member, since country clubs not only tend to be very expensive (knowing that Daffy isn't rich) but also tend to be rather exclusive (knowing that Daffy isn't "beloved in the community"). Daffy doesn't answer Bugs's question and blows it off. Then they decide to play a game of tennis on the club’s court. During the game, Bugs is hit several times with tennis balls by another player on the other court. He goes to investigate and meets Lola Bunny. They both fall for each other on sight and agree to go on a date.
On the date Bugs initially thinks things are going well, but during dinner, he learns that Lola has a tendency to talk non-stop, which he finds very annoying. He decides to take her to a movie after dinner, hoping that she will stop talking in the theater. Not only does she not stop talking, but Lola confuses the trailers before the film as the movie itself, irritating and embarrassing Bugs further. After Bugs takes Lola home, he states that the date was the worst of his life, while Lola thinks it was the best of hers.
The next day, Lola calls Bugs incessantly and sends him over a hundred emails. Daffy comments on how she likes Bugs and asks if they’re going on another date, to which Bugs responds, “Not if I can help it. That girl's exhausting!” After he recieves yet another phone call, he tears the phone system out of the wall in exasperation. After "accidentally" running into him, Lola starts following Bugs around as he goes to the dry cleaners, grocery store, and the gym. Finally Bugs tells Lola that he can’t see her anymore and that he doesn’t think they’re right for each other, after she almost causes him to die by being crushed by a giant weight. Lola starts crying uncontrollably until Bugs takes back what he said. Lola then asks if they can go on another date and Bugs reluctantly agrees.
Back at the country club, Bugs disguises himself as a woman and attempts to convince Lola that he will end up breaking her heart. However he only ends up making Lola want him more, thinking he's a bad boy. When Bugs comes back as himself, Lola introduces him to her parents, Walter and Patricia Bunny. He soon excuses himself and goes to the bathroom and talks to his reflection in the mirror in an attempt to convince himself to end it with Lola no matter the circumstances. He takes a mint from the bathroom attendant before he leaves, but he drops it before he gets back to the table and it rolls under Lola's chair. As he kneels down to pick it up, Lola looks down and believes Bugs is proposing to her and screams yes. Lola is quick to plan and organize the wedding with Pepe Le Pew, the club's wedding planner.
Daffy ends up crashing the wedding, unaware who it’s for until he sees that Bugs is the groom. Daffy's initially offended that he wasn't even invited, but ends up standing in as Bugs's best man. After Lola walks down the aisle, the officiator asks if anyone opposes the marriage. Bugs looks nervously at Daffy hoping he'll object, but he doesn't say anything. Bugs is relieved when Lola objects and reveals that she's in love with Pepe. She asks Bugs if he'll ever get over her. He takes advantage of the situation and tells her it will take a long time and that they shouldn't talk for awhile. After Lola leaves with Pepe, Daffy, thinking Bugs is upset, orders Bugs some golf clubs to cheer him up and charges it to his stolen membership number. Walter Bunny recognizes it as his number, and he punches Daffy in the face.
At the very end of the episode, it turns out that Daffy's now being forced to work at the club (specifically as an attendant in the men's bathroom) until he's paid back all the money that he charged to Walter's membership number.

Bugs: Friend of yours?
Lola: Nope! Wrong number! - (A waiter brings carrot soup to Bugs and Lola)

(Bugs sheepishly smiles at the annoyed waiter)
Lola: Is there pollen in this? Can I get some pollen in this? You know what, now that I'm thinking about it, I don't really want carrot soup. Actually, maybe just one little taste.
(Lola tastes the carrot soup)
Lola: Oh! Oh, that's good! Maybe just one more.
(Lola tastes it again)
Lola: Mmm, one more!
(Lola tastes it again)
Lola: Just one more!
(Lola tastes it again)
Lola: Mmm-mmm! (to Bugs) You can really taste the pollen. Are you going to eat yours?
(Bugs gives Lola his carrot soup) - Lola: So, what do you have planned for after dinner?
Bugs: How 'bout a movie? We'll just sit together, watch a movie, and not talk. That'll be nice. - (Bugs and Lola are seen sitting in a movie theater, while she chews on popcorn very loudly)
Lola: This is so good! I am so glad I'm not allergic to butter!
Lola: (to Bugs) Do you like this movie? I love this movie! Oh, it's so sad, but, like uplifting too! It's like a "feel good" movie! A sad feel good movie. It's funny, also, and scary. Oh! Oh! This is the best part! Oh, no, wait, this is the worst part! Ooh, I hate this part! Oh, I gotta pee.
(Lola gets up and walks past a few patrons)
Lola: Sorry, excuse me, excuse me, watch your leg, excuse me. (Lola looks back at the movie screen and gasps) I love this part! - (Bugs and Lola are watching the movie)
Lola: Hahahahaha! (cries) Ooh, nooo. (screams in terror and clings to Bugs) Wow, that was a good movie!

Trivia
- This is the first episode to include a CGI Road Runner and Coyote skit, which appears near the end of the episode.
- Lola, her parents and Pepe all make their debut appearances in this episode.
- Bugs and Lola meet for the first time in this episode.
- This episode took place in July, as revealed in It's a Handbag.
- Apparently, at the ROGOOOCC, membership-numbers need at least four-digits, since Walter's membership number is "1673" while Daffy unsuccessfully tried to give off just "1" and "2" as his membership numbers when he tried getting into the club at the start of the episode.
- In real life, country clubs are typically very:
- Exclusive—in most cases, you can't get in unless you're a member, the guest of a member or an employee. But in some cases, you might be able to get in if you know an employee
- Expensive—aside from paying annual fees, you often have to pay an entry fee to get in, and entry fees can easily cost upwards of $500,000.
- When Bugs drops Lola home on foot, Lola realizes that she forgot to use the bathroom at the theater. When she once again forgets that using the bathroom after entering her house is what she needs to do, she plays her tape recorder to remember what she needs to do. But she thinks having to clean out her purse that the tape recorder says is what she needs to do. This could imply that Lola may have urinated on herself afterwards.
- During her tirade with Bugs, Lola says "What is going on with you?! This isn't the Bugs I know!" which was said by Nala from Disney's The Lion King as she and Simba get into a argument after she told him what Scar did to the Pride Lands.
- Scooby-Doo and Velma Dinkley both make a cameo appearance during the scene of Bugs and Lola inside the movie theater.
Goofs
- In a few scenes, Daffy's club shirt and ascot switch colors.
- During the scene where Bugs and Lola first laid eyes on each other, Lola's gloves disappear.
- When Lola and Bugs are on a date, Lola's purse has a gold rim, but in the next scene it's colored purple like the bag.
