Daffy's Diner is a 1967Warner Bros.Merrie Melodies cartoon directed byRobert McKimson.[1] The short was released on January 21, 1967, and starsDaffy Duck andSpeedy Gonzales.[2] It was the finalWarner Bros. cartoon to be produced byDePatie–Freleng Enterprises, as well as the final Warner Bros. cartoon to feature music byWalter Greene.
Daffy runs a diner nearGuadalajara, serving mouseburgers to cats with rubber mice as substitutes for actual mice, as he hasn't seen one in ages. However, one angry cat named El Supremo discovers the trick and demands a real mouseburger. So at gunpoint, Daffy goes to find a mouse. At this point, Daffy encounters Speedy, begging for food, whom he tries to cook.
The mouse discovers his intentions and escapes to the desert, with Daffy in hot pursuit. Daffy is foiled each time by Speedy running up acactus, Daffy accidentally knocking a cactus on himself, and being scared by Speedy into a trash can, prompting the waste management official to think he has gone crazy after Daffy tells him to put him down from within the can. (Speedy doesn't appear for the rest of the short afterwards.)
Daffy returns and tries to escape, but El Supremo stops him. Finally, El Supremo demands his burger within two minutes, forcing Daffy to serve himself as a replacement. He states, "You never know what you'll do, until you've got a gun pointed at your head" (inspired by a line Daffy used inGolden Yeggs).
