Quotes from

[first lines]
Bugs Bunny: This is the famous Brooklyn Bridge. 133 feet high, 1,500 feet long. Contains hundreds of miles of cable. From it, Steve Brody made his sensational leap into the East River.
Old Man: [chuckling] What in tarnation did he do that for?
Bugs Bunny: I'm glad you asked that, friend. It happened in 1886, when Steve Brody had a terrific run of luck...
[laughs]
Bugs Bunny: ... all bad! Then one day, an idea - he needed a good luck charm. But what? Right, a rabbit's foot! But where to find a rabbit in the big city? Nope, nowhere. He must go back to the woods, to the forest primeval; to Flatbush. And there he found the object of his search: a rabbit.


Steve Brody: [What looks like a woman drops her handkerchief on the ground. Steve Brody picks it up] Ahem
Bugs Bunny: Oh you masher! Cad! Ruffian! HELP! POLICE!
[a police officer clubs Steve Brody on the head]


Bugs Bunny: Eh, what's up, Doc?
Steve Brody: Sorry, Mac. Me luck's run out, and I gotta have a good luck charm - and you're it!
Bugs Bunny: Now wait a minute, Doc. Let's not be hasty. Rabbit's feet ain't lucky.
Steve Brody: No?
Bugs Bunny: No, look at the life rabbits lead. Dogs, hunters, hasenpfeffer... these rabbit's feet never brought me any luck.

Facts about

When asked when he was born Brody says he doesn't remember. Brodie in real life was born on July 23. This makes his correct zodiac sign Cancer, which is located just to the right of "Lobo" sic, the selected incorrect sign on Bugs' spin wheel.
There actually was a real Steve Brodie who claimed that he jumped off the Brooklyn Bridge in 1886 and survived. Even though the newspapers enthusiastically reported his story, there's no evidence that it actually happened. The fact that his name was used in this cartoon means that he is the only celebrity caricatured in a Merrie Melodies short who was already dead at the time.
The only cartoon starring Bugs Bunny that was directed by Arthur Davis.
