03x03 - You're Up, Snoopy

[bunniefuu]

"Beagle Air."

Isosceles triangle!

Sorry, ma'am.
I thought this was math class.

What are we talking about?

The Statue of Liberty?

I believe that's a football play, ma'am.

Marcie, what was all that about?

Miss Othmar assigned us each
a world-famous monument

for our social studies report.

I was lucky enough to be assigned
the Great Sphinx of Giza.

You got the Statue of Liberty.

How am I supposed to learn
about the Statue of Liberty?

It's easy for you, Marcie.

You're always reading books!

Learning about something new
doesn't have to just come from books, sir.

It could be more hands-on.
We can make it fun.

Like football?

Catch!

Maybe not that much fun, sir.

But it can still be an adventure
in learning.

I'm always up for adventure.

Lead the way, Marcie.

The adventure is this way.

I know. I was just testing you.

Good news, sir.

We're going to fly to New York City

and learn all about
the Statue of Liberty in person.

I just booked us two tickets
on Beagle Air.

"Fly the happy skies
on the wings of a beagle."

Marcie, I'm pretty sure
that dogs don't have wings.

And we don't have enough money
for plane tickets.

More good news, sir.

Prices start at whatever's left
in our lunch bags.

Well, I might have
a half-eaten slice of pizza.

We are ready for takeoff.
Please fasten your seat belts.

What are you doing, Marcie?

I'm the flight attendant for this trip.

Since when?

Since I read the flight manual.

Now, make sure that your seat back
is in the upright position.

I don't have a seat back.

Then please nudge the pilot
and tell him we're ready for takeoff.

You must be excited
to see the Statue of Liberty, sir.

Did you know it took nine years to build?

And that it was a gift to America
from France in 1886?

No, I didn't know that, Marcie.

Say, does this flight offer
in-flight entertainment?

Did you realize the Statue of Liberty
is not only a monument?

It's also a working lighthouse
designed to guide ships into port.

And her torch represents
the enlightenment of the world.

Heavy stuff.

Attention, passengers.

Please be advised that we may encounter
some slight turbulence.

No need to worry, sir.

Our captain is a very accomplished pilot.

This flight is taking longer
than I thought.

Is there a snack service?

I'm glad you asked.

At this time,
Beagle Air would like to offer you

a choice between chicken tacos
or spaghetti Bolognese.

-That sounds--
-Unfortunately,

while Beagle Air would like to,
they can't.

How about a banana?

Eat your snack quickly, sir.

It looks like
we're in for a rough landing.

Marcie!

We apologize
for the vertical approach there, folks.

Please stay seated
until we come to a full stop.

Don't worry about him.
He faints after every flight.

The big city!

I have to admit it, Marcie.
This was a great idea.

And now we get to see
the actual Statue of Liberty in person.

Hi, Marcie. Hi, Peppermint Patty.

Chuck?

What are you doing in the big city?

The big what?

Wait a minute.

I've seen that tree before.

We never went anywhere!

Now what am I gonna do
about my Statue of Liberty report?

Welcome home?

You said this was going to be
an adventure in learning.

We never even got to see
the Statue of Liberty.

All I learned was that it was a gift
from France to the United States in 1886,

it functions as a lighthouse,

and her torch represents
the enlightenment of the world.

I was wondering, sir, did you also know
how long it took to build?

That's an easy one. It took nine years.

Everyone knows that, Marcie.

What do you know?

I guess it was
a productive trip after all.

Still, it would've been nice
to see the Statue of Liberty in person.

It's not too late, sir. Look.

Thanks for helping me
with my report, Marcie.

My pleasure, sir.

"The Leprechaun Beagle."

Goodness. I think I see a leprechaun.

There's no such thing as leprechauns.

What's a leprechaun?

It's a merry elf from Irish folklore.

Technically,
I think that's a leprechaun beagle.

Neat.

According to Irish tradition,

if you catch a leprechaun,
they have to grant you a wish.

A wish? My favorite.

Does that apply
to leprechaun beagles, too?

I don't see why not.

If you ask me,
the whole thing's a bunch of malarkey.

You're mine!

Get back here and grant my wish!

I caught a frog once.

Why is that relevant, sir?

They're both green.

Rerun, according to Irish folklore,
leprechaun beagles are tricky.

Yoo-hoo!

Magic!

They're also magical.

But above all,

leprechaun beagles have
a true musical spirit.

Come here, you magical creature.

I'll get you. You can't run away forever.

Why won't he let me catch him?

They're also notoriously hard to catch.

Not so fast!

How'd you get over there?

Got ya!

Sorry about your sandcastle.

I don't mind.

A blank canvas can be very inspiring.

Come back here, please!

Please.

It sounded better when you played it.

This would be much easier
if he'd just hold still.

You can't just jump out and grab them.
You need a plan.

If you want to catch a leprechaun,

a sure way to do it is
to lure him out with a pot of gold.

Of course! Thanks, Marcie.

I'm not sure we have a pot of gold.

I caught a grasshopper once.

Let me guess, sir. Also green?

Bingo.

Where do we keep our pot of gold?

Hall closet.

I don't see it!

You have to look for it!

It's right next to the unicorn!

I couldn't find the pot of gold,
so I got the next best thing.

A jar of jelly beans!

There's no such thing as leprechauns!

Or leprechaun beagles!

When the leprechaun beagle
goes for the treasure,

you pull the rope and catch him.

Aye, aye, sir.

Now!

We got him!

I should've known
not to trust free jelly beans.

Is this another one of your clever plans?

Absolutely.

Leprechaun beagles love four-leaf clovers.

They symbolize faith, hope, love and luck.

That's a lot of symbolism for a weed.

When the leprechaun beagle comes by
to pick it,

I'll--

Got ya!

You caught me fair and square,
my Sweet Babboo.

That was not a leprechaun,
and I'm not her Sweet Babboo.

You get back here!

How are your legs not tired?

It's no use.

I give up.

What would you have wished for?

I was going to wish for a great, big party

so I could ask the leprechaun beagle
to be the guest of honor.

Yoo-hoo!

I caught the leprechaun beagle!

What do you know? A leprechaun beagle.

"Marcie's Quiet Spot."

Let me see. That's math, done.
Social studies, done.

No, Mom! I don't have time for snacks!

I still have a little extra credit reading
to catch up on!

Excuse me, ma'am.

It seems you accidentally misspelled
A-plus as A-minus

when you graded my test.

I see. I forgot the question
on the back page.

Never mind, then.

L-U-C-Y
Watch me soar into the sky

Come on, Marcie. Give it a try.

M-A--

On second thought,
maybe jumping rope isn't for everyone.

This just isn't my day, sir.

Come on. Just a couple of tosses.

Go long, Marcie.

This one's for all the marbles.

I'm not sure I need any marbles
at the moment, sir.

Rats.

Sorry, Charles.

On days like these,
there's only one place to go.

Snoopy.

I see you've found my quiet spot.

Care to join me?

Isn't it peaceful?

I can sit,
set aside the worries of the world,

and just listen to the wind.

And you can't beat the view.

We can share it if you like.

But don't tell anyone.

Not everyone shares
our sophisticated taste for the outdoors.

Well, I feel much better. See you, Snoopy.

But remember, keep it quiet.
That's the best part about this spot.

Looks like you invited a friend.

I guess it's okay.

We just don't want to attract a crowd.

Uh-huh.

Petting birds on the head
always cheers me up.

I wonder where they're off to.

What a nice spot.

Look at that view.

And listen to that wind.

Seems a shame to keep it to myself.

I thought we had a game today.

I'm all done with my homework, Mom!
I'm going to get some fresh air.

You don't have to be proud of me, Mom.
It's just a walk.

Where is everyone?

Hey, Marcie. You look stressed.

Well, you've come to right place.

My quiet spot is ruined!

Did you have to tell everyone?

Hey, Snoopy.
Did you come to join the party?

I'm sorry, Snoopy.

I didn't mean to yell at you.

You can't beat the view.

Or the summer breeze.

A little respite from the hustle
and bustle of the neighborhood.

Almost makes you forget
about all the world's troubles.

Almost.

Thanks, Snoopy.
