If memory serves me correctly, it's actually Bogarts date thats wants the rabbit. And at the end Bogart says "I guess baby will have to settle for a ham sandwich" to which Bugs replies "If its rabbit baby wants, Its rabbit baby gets" and jumps in between 2 slices of bread.Bogart's "date" is none other than Lauren Bacall, and "Baby" was Bogie's well-known nickname for her. Hence Bugs's immediate excitement upon hearing who he's supposed to be served up to, and indeed, there she is in caricature in the final scene ("Slick Hare" 1947).
