Frigid Hare (1949)

Bugs Bunny: Okay, let's start having fun. Ooh, look at that four-legged airplane.
[as the penguin looks up, Bugs pushes him down the slope]
Bugs Bunny: Well, that's that. Huh?
[the Inuit hunter catches the penguin]
Bugs Bunny: Oh, well. It's none of my business. I'm not my penguin's keeper.
[singing]
Bugs Bunny: 'Cause I'm yearnin' to be churnin' up the surf on old Miami Beach!
[Jumps into hole; long pause; Pops back up again]
Bugs Bunny: Why that dirty, no-good... Well, you didn't think for a minute I would let that bully... what I mean is, you wouldn't want I should desert the little guy, and... Oh, always something! I'll never get to Miami!

Bugs Bunny: Wait a minute, this don't look like Miami Beach to me. Hmm... this looks more like California.

Bugs Bunny: Oh, you again! Well, scram! You've already ruined my vacation! Why, I ought to bang you one on your little kisser.
[Penguin starts crying, his tears turn into ice cubes]
Bugs Bunny: Oh, all right, all right! Turn off the ice factory. There, that's better. I'm sorry, but what am I gonna do with only four days vacation left? Huh? Well, now what?
[Penguin whispers into Bugs' ear]
Bugs Bunny: What? You mean the days are six months long up here? Wow! If I stay up here, I won't have to be back to work 'till July, 1953.
[Puts on top hat and tails]
Bugs Bunny: I always wanted a nice, long formal vacation. Let's go, kid.

This cartoon has been largely barred from TV showings because of complaints about its treatment of Inuit peoples, both in the (perceived) stereotypical way the hunter is drawn and when Bugs insults him by calling him a "big baboon" and an "Eskimo pie-head".
In 2003, this short was "un-banned" and finally given an uncut release as part of the first volume of Looney Tunes shorts in a 4-disc DVD set.
