     Bugs: It's true, Doc. I'm a rabbit, alright. Would you like to shoot me now or wait 'til you get home?
     Daffy: Shoot him now! Shoot him now!
     Bugs: You keep out of this! He doesn't have to shoot you now.
     Daffy: He does so have to shoot me now! (To the hunter): I demand that you shoot me now!

The strangers were actually the Greek gods Zeus and Hermes. they made a grand palace for the kindly couple, and the gods granted their wish that they should die at the same moment. Both were transformed into trees, and their boughs större trädgren  were entertwined, symbolizing their everlasting love.
