02x04 - Peppermint Patty's School Days

[bunniefuu]

Let's have a party with Charlie Brown and

Snoopy. We can go dancing with Linus

and Lucy. Put on a smile and

stay for a while. Come on, let's dance

around with Snoopy and Charlie Brown.

Woodstock a whistle. Sally will be

singing. Marcy and Pepper. Miss

Patty will be swinging. Kick up your feet

in time with the beat. Come on, let's

dance around with Snoopy.

Frida and Franklin, even Little

Rerun Bell, Spike and Snoopy.

Everybody's having fun. Let's not go home

yet. If we stick around, maybe that

red-haired girl will come and dance with

Charlie Brown.

It's the Charlie Brown and Snoopy

Show.

Hey, Chuck, look at what this says. What?

It says here that someone is opening

up something called a computer camp.

What's a computer camp?

Let's see. It says they teach you all

about computers and computer games and

robots and everything. Wow,

that sounds great. Hey, it says

everyone could come free the first day.

Come on, Jack. Let's call everyone and

tell them to meet us at the bus station.

Gee, this sounds great. Let's go.

I wonder where Snoopy is. I told him to

meet us here. Here comes the bus, sir.

Something tells me the driver of this bus

isn't very good, sir. Don't be silly,

Marcie. How bad could he be?

I rest my case, sir. Hey, it's

Old Snoop! Hiya, Snoop!Come

on, everybody, get on board!

I always did say, Snoop, that you really

know how to treat a girl.

But it sure does have a big nose.

Okay, Snoop, let her rip!

Hey, look at this computer.

Look, you can paint with it.

Come on, Chuck, you try it now.

Not to worry, Chuck. Hey, look at this

one. You can play checkers against the

machine. Come on, Chuck. It's easy. You

just have to jump his black chip with

your red chip.

Hey, I did it. I jumped him. Atta

boy, Chuck.

Better luck next time, Chuck. I'm going

to see if I can find the robots.

Look, with this one you can make your own

computer game. Hey,

great!OK, here's a neat

game. First we put a cave here

like this,

and then we put a pot of gold in back of

it where you can't see it like this.

We need 2 volunteers to

go in and find the gold.

Okay, it's Woodstock and Snoopy.

Okay now, it's up to you to find the

gold. One of these three

entrances to the cave is the right one.

But I have to warn you, there's a

very mean person guarding the gold.

So watch out. What

does the mean person look like, Minus?

You'll see in a second.

Let me try.

Here, let me see what I can do with this

thing.

Gee, only one of the boats will hold

them. I wonder which one.

I'm doing the best I can, Snoop.

Can I have a try?

Oh, brother. Go ahead,

Charles. You can do it. Just place him in

the right elevator and he'll go right

down to the gold.

You did it, Charles. You picked the right

one. I did?

Unfortunately, I think you dropped him

right next to the mean person.

How do you play this game?Quiet,

Lucille. The mean person is about to

attack Snoopy and Woodstock.

Oh?What does the mean person look like?

Uh oh. When she sees how you made the

mean person look, I think you're in

big trouble. Um, uh,

I I really don't think you need

to see this, Lucille.

Play it, Linus.

So you think that's funny?

These computer games can sometimes be

dangerous.

Warning. Do not enter this room.

Robots inside. Do not open this

door. Hey, I better go warn

the others about this.

I don't know what it is, but maybe we

better listen to old Snoop here. Come on,

everybody, get to the bus.

Boy, that computer camp was really

exciting. I'm afraid this bus ride is

going to be more exciting, Sir.

Why can't I have a normal dog like

everyone else?

Are you ever going to give up that stupid

blanket?I really haven't given it much

thought. It's embarrassing having a

brother who needs a blanket.

Look out! A bee! A bee! Funny, it

doesn't embarrass me at all. You think

you're so smart.

Lucy, where's my blanket?Don't

say I never do anything for you.

Here, I just took your blanket out of the

dryer. Be careful, it's still a little

hot. And they say kids had it

tough in the old days. Maybe

Lucy is right. Maybe I should give

up my blanket. She doesn't think I can do

it, but I know I can.

Notice anything?Like what?

My blanket is gone. I've given it

up. I don't need it anymore. When

did this happen?Four minutes ago.

And look, my hands aren't even shaking.

I want to write a book. I want to tell

everyone how I gave up my blanket. Maybe

you can think of a good title for me.

I'll believe it when I see it.

What I think I'll do is go from house to

house, telling people how I gave up my

blanket. I'll knock on every door.

I'll help all the little kids in the

world who can't give up their blankets.

Your head doesn't feel warm. I thought

you might have a fever. Good

morning, little girl. I see you have a

security blanket. Would you like to have

me tell you how I broke myself of that

same habit?

Stupid kid.

I read an ad in the paper for my clinic.

Your clinic?I'm going to teach little

kids how to give up their blankets.

Hundreds of kids will come knocking at my

door.

Here's your hundred kids. My

folks made me cumHi,

my name is Linus. I take it you've come

here to learn how to give up your

blanket. My folks made me

come. Can a blind man lead a blind

man?Will they not both fall

into a pit?Don't pay any attention to

her. She's just my sister. I didn't come

here to fall into no pit. By the

way, my name is Randolph.

OK, Randolph, let's get to work. I'll rid

you of that blanket in no time. First,

however, I have to ask you a few personal

questions. May I ask you why you wear

your blanket over your head so you won't

see the three teddy bears I'm holding?

The first thing we should consider about

clinging to a security blanket is that

perhaps you have some guilt. I don't feel

guilty about anything. Good.

Now what about embarrassment about

something?That's no problem either.

Now mention stupidity.

Before we continue with your treatment,

we need to do something. I'm going to ask

you to take the blanket off your head.

Anything you say, surprise! It's

me, your sweet baboo!

I could have given up this blanket, but I

was driven back to it by treachery.

Well, I'm going to find some way to get

rid of that blanket once and for all.

This is a letter from your brother Spike

on the desert. He's inviting you to

needles. He says there's a cute

coyote who is dying to meet you.

You can't let that stupid beagle go out

in the desert alone. How's he going to

live in that terrible heat?He says it's

no problem. He's taking a glass of water.

Where's he going?To the desert to see his

brother Spike. Here, take this blanket

with you. It gets very cold on the

desert at night.

You gave Snoopy my blanket?Are you

crazy?Well, you said you could get along

without it. But I was wrong!

How do you expect him to get through the

cold desert nights without it?And how do

you expect me to get through life?

This is a letter from Snoopy. He says he

gave his glass of water to a Bunny. He

says he saw a barrel cactus. He heard

you could get water from a cactus like

this, but he couldn't find the faucet to

turn it on. He says he built a bed,

but he can't find Spike anywhere.

Gee, what if Spike gets worried about

Snoopy and he goes out to meet him and

they miss each other?You sure come up

with some dumb ideas, Charlie Brown.

Oh, where's my blanket?Woe

is me. I don't understand this

blanket business, Linus. What do you do

now that it's gone?You suffer a

lot. You look for substitutes,

replacements. And when you suddenly

feel insecure, your thumb pops into

your mouth and you grab anything that's

handy. Snoopy's back,

and he never did see Spike. Welcome

home, Snoopy. Now where's my blanket?

Don't tell me you left it out on the

desert. How am I going to

find it?Oh, life is so

cruel. Good news, Linus. A special

delivery from Spike. He was looking for

Snoopy and found your blanket. Yeah,

yeahJust what I needed. Ow! A

blanket full of ow cactus stickers.

You stupid beagle.

Don't you dare try to kiss me.

I still say you should get rid of that

stupid blanket.

Never, never,

never

Where are you, Chuck?Wake up,

Sir. What?You were sleeping in

class again, Sir, and you were dreaming.

I was. And you called out Chuck's name.

I did. I think you like him, Sir.

I do. Hey, Chuck, this

is going to crack you up. Marcy has this

wild idea that the reason I fall asleep

in school. Wait till you hear how wild it

is. Well, Marcy is usually right about a

lot of things. She's pretty sharp. Do

you love me, Chuck?Well, uh,

I, uh, uh.. I just asked

Chuck if he loves me. He just

stammered. Give it some time, sir.

Hello, Information. Yes, I'd like to talk

to a certain red haired girl. No, I

already have her number. I was hoping you

could tell me what to say when she

answers the phone. Hello, this is

Marcie speaking. Good grief.

I dialed the wrong number. I'll bet you

dialed my number by mistake. I'll bet you

meant to call Peppermint Patty. She just

happens to be right here beside me.

Charles. No, wait just a second.

Hiya, Chuck. Finally got the nerve to

call me. Eh, you. Fly, dog. I guess

you called to ask me to go to the movies.

I'll meet you on the way. I'll bring

Marcie, too. I can't stand it.

Don't walk between us, Chuck. You're

supposed to walk on the outside. Ladies

first, Chuck. Stand behind us.

Don't sit between us, Chuck. Here, sit on

the aisle. Hey, remember, Chuck.

Walk on the outside, Charles. I

can't stand it. I don't

think your first date went too well, Sir.

I guess not. Maybe I need a new hairdo or

something. I think I'll try that one they

call a cornrow. Are you ready to show

me your new hairdo?Do you think Chuck

will like it?Why don't you walk down the

street to try it out?You mean to see if

it's comfortable?No, to see if

any dogs chase you.

Marcie! Just kidding, sir,

but you need a few opinions. Here comes

someone now. Well, what does a dog know

anyway?I really thought a cornrow

would help my string bean hair, but I'm

still stuck with a potato nose.

By the way, what are you wearing at night

so it won't unravel?Are you sure

about the stocking business, Marcie?

Now that we're in summer camp, are you

going to write Charles, sir?Not until

he writes me first. Do you mind if

I write him, sir?Do what you want,

Marcie. Dear Charles, I think

about you every day. Marcie, you

can't tell Chuck that. He'll get

conceited. Can I say that I think about

him every other day?No, that's still too

often. Dear Charles, I think about you

every third day. I got a

letter from Charles, Sir. You

what?Don't talk to me,

Marcy. What did I do, Sir?

You got a letter from Chuck, and I did

it. And I let you write to Chuck when you

were lonely. Would you like to push me in

the lake, Sir?Hey, Marcy.

I wrote a letter to Chuck, and he wrote

back to me. That's wonderful, sir.

Dear Charles, only one more day of camp,

and then you and I can be together again.

Hi, Chuck. Tomorrow we go home. I bet you

can't wait to see me, Chuck.

What would you do if most of the time

nobody liked you, and then, all of a

sudden, two girls liked you at the

same time?And you had to choose

one and risk hurting the other one's

feelings. Dear

Marcy and Peppermint Patty, thank you

both for liking me. Unfortunately,

I have enlisted in the Navy and will be

gone for 200 years.

Why can't I have a normal dog like

everyone else?

Let's have a party with Charlie Brown and

Snoopy. We can go dancing with Lion.

Come on, let's

dance around with Snoopy and Charlie

Brown. Rita and Franklin.

Even little rerun Bellstock and

Snoopy. Everybody's having fun. Let's

not go home yet. If we stick around,

maybe that red haired girl will come and

dance with Charlie Brown.
