02x10 - Not Bad for a Beagle

[bunniefuu]

[Charlie Brown] "Bouncing Baby Beagle."

Well, old friend, I'm off
to an overnight camping trip.

I just wanted to say goodbye
before I leave.

I'll miss you.

[yawns]

I suppose you'll miss me too?

Well, Sally is in charge while I'm gone.

Hmm?

Don't worry. She promised to feed you.

I'm going to take care of you
as if you were my baby brother.

[sighs]

As your big sister, it's my job
to make sure you have fun.

And what could be more fun
than practicing our manners

at an elegant tea party?

Here you are.

[grumbles]

No tea party would be complete
without a plate of cookies.

[squeals]

Nuh-uh.

Now it's time to practice
our elegant tea party laughter. [laughs]

[laughs]

[both laughing]

[cackling]

[sighs]

[gasps] It's dress-up time already!

[laughs]

[toy squeaks]

Which do you like better?
The blue one or the yellow one?

[Snoopy hums]

As your big sister, it's my responsibility
to share this cuteness with the world.

[chortles]

Keep your head
inside the carriage, Snoopy.

I don't want any accidents on my watch.

- [hums]
- Shh! It's nap time.

[yawns, smacks lips]

Sleep well, little brother.

[upbeat piano music plays]

[groans]

Do you mind?
There are babies out here trying to sleep!

[chattering]

Sorry about that.

[grumbles]

Please play something more appropriate.

[slow piano music plays]

[sighs]

Sally, is that a new baby carriage?

Didn't you hear? I'm a big sister now.

I didn't know.

I never realized how much work it is.
I guess that's why they say,

"Big sisters are the roses
in the bouquet of life."

[sucking] Can you hold this
while I play in the sandbox?

[groans]

And baby brothers are the thorns.

Can I take a look?

Of course. He's very friendly.

[gags] Dog germs! I've been tricked!

Worse than tricked, I've been licked!

Soap and water! I need soap and water!

Some people just aren't born
with that big sister instinct.

Do you know
what time it is now? Bath time!

[shrieks]

Which means bath toys!

- [gasps]
- [toy squeaks]

[toy squeaks]

[chattering, grunting]

[yells]

[sighs] In moments like these,
you really earn your big sister stripes.

[Snoopy] Oh.

You've been a very good
baby brother today,

so that's why I've made you
a special dinner.

Enjoy!

Eh.

[coughs, gags]

Ugh!

[gags]

[groans]

[barks]

Snoopy! You did miss me.

I'm so happy you came to visit.

Wait, what about Sally?

[stomach growls]

It's just that she was so excited
to be your big sister.

- It really meant a lot to her.
- [sighs]

Well, you're here now.

- We might as well have some food.
- [squeals]

We're having burnt toast
and cold campfire beans.

[sniffs]

[Sally sighs] Big sisters never get
the appreciation they deserve.

[coughs]

Little brother! You came back!
And just in time.

I'm sorry about your bottle earlier.

I guess I went a little heavy
on the prunes.

Here's your favorite meal
to make up for it. Voilà!

[squeals]

[smacks lips]

No "thank you"?

[groans] Where's the appreciation?
Where's the gratitude?

Eh?

[groans]

Now that I've had some experience
being a big sister,

I think being a baby sister
is much better.

- [cries]
- [metal clanking]

[humming melody]

[Charlie Brown] "Snoopy on the Mound."

You're just a few runs down.
You can do this.

How about some support?

You can do it, Charlie Brown!

Yeah, Charlie Brown, you can do it!

You can probably do it, Charlie Brown!

I'd say more,
but I don't wanna get your hopes up!

- [grunting]
- [ball clacks]

[grunts]

[laughs]

If you think you could do better,
maybe you should pitch.

[straining]

[chatters]

Okay, Snoopy.

If I do this,
it means throw me a fastball.

This means a curveball.
This means a slider.

Got it?

Just nod when you pick one.

[chatters]

- Schroeder's signaling for a fastball.
- Mm-mmm.

- Now he's signaling for a curveball.
- Nuh-uh.

- That's a slider.
- Mm-mmm.

[Schroeder] Just pick one!

- [Snoopy grunts]
- [Schroeder] Strike one!

That was a good pitch, Snoopy.

- [grunts]
- [Schroeder] Strike two!

[strains, grunts]

[Schroeder] Strike three! You're out!

- [children] Good job, Snoopy!
- Whoo-hoo! Yay, Snoopy!

- Nice moves!
- What a refreshing change of pace.

I think Snoopy should be our new pitcher.

[chuckles]

But if he's the pitcher,
what position do I play?

I had to ask. [sighs]

Shh!

- [grunts]
- [Schroeder] Strike!

Strike!

Strike, strike, strike!
You're outta there!

- [children cheering, laughing] Yeah!
- Nice move! Nice job, Snoopy!

- Way to go, Snoopy!
- Yay, Snoopy!

- Yeah!
- Hooray!

If they hadn't scored 14 runs
in the first inning, we would've won.

Snoopy should be our pitcher all the time.

Yeah! Nice move!

I think he should be our pitcher
and our manager.

- Yeah!
- Yeah!

Snoopy can't be the manager.
I'm the manager.

Besides,
he doesn't have the manager's clipboard.

[children cheering, whooping]

Problem solved.

[all chanting] Snoopy! Snoopy! Snoopy!
Snoopy! Snoopy! Snoopy!

They only carry me off the field
when I get hurt.

With Snoopy in charge,
we're going to win for sure.

[Snoopy chattering]

[clears throat, chattering]

[grunting]

Whoo-hoo! [chattering]

Wow! He's fired up!

And the game hasn't even started yet.

Snoopy, I was thinking,

since you're not
playing shortstop anymore,

maybe I can play that position
instead of the outfield.

Hmm.

At least he considered it.

[chattering, grumbling]

You can't throw me out of the game.
I don't even wanna be here!

[Snoopy grumbling]

Huh?

Strike one!

The new manager
is giving me the signal to...

swing? Bunt?

- [Peppermint Patty] Strike two!
- [grumbling]

Don't swing. Ball?
Bounce? Bunny hop? What?

[Peppermint Patty]
Strike three! You're out!

[growls]

Aw.

- [ball clacks]
- [Charlie Brown] I got it. I got it!

[grunts, groans]

[chattering]

[growls]

This is poor team management, Snoopy.

You can't kick all your players
off the field. Who's going to play?

Hmm. [whistles]

[ball clacks]

[birds grunting]

I can't believe
we've been replaced by birds.

On the upside, we're winning.

We don't play just to win, do we?
We play for the fun.

We play for the fresh air.

We play because we get better
when we work together as a team.

Am I right?

Actually, we're winning by a lot.

[sighs]

[laughs]

- [ball clacks]
- [yelps]

[birds chattering]

[Woodstock chatters]

[sighs]

You got everyone kicked off the field.
Including yourself.

What do we do now?

[gasps] The manager's clipboard.

I'll take care of this.

Here, birdie, birdie, birdie!

[gasps]

- [all gasp]
- [panting, chewing]

[birds panting]

As a manager, you have
to be ready for every occasion.

Yay!

Thanks, old pal.

- [grunts]
- [ball clacks]

[groans]

[Snoopy laughs]

[humming melody]

[Charlie Brown] "Snoopy Swap."

Good book, Marcie?

Fascinating, sir. Good paddle?

You know it.

Just a reminder, we have tickets
for the Tiny Tots concert tomorrow.

[grunts]

Didn't we just see one of those?

That was six months ago.

A stirring interpretation
of Little Red Riding Hood.

What are we seeing this time?

A stirring interpretation
of Peter and the Wolf.

Yeesh! Another story about a kid
and a wolf?

We already know the kid is gonna win.
Where's the excitement in that?

Would you watch a hockey game

if you knew the final score
before it started?

I wouldn't want
to watch a hockey game, sir.

[groans] How can anyone not like hockey?

Yikes!

[yells]

[laughs] That's a pretty good
gorilla impersonation, Snoopy.

Do me next.

Hmm. The look is right,
but the attitude is all wrong.

That's it! It's like looking in a mirror.

Hmm. That gives me an idea.

How would you like
to impersonate me tomorrow?

If you do, you can see a free concert.

Whatever you do,
don't tell Marcie it's you.

- Hey, Chuck.
- Hi, Peppermint Patties.

Peppermint Patties?

[orchestra music plays]

[audience cheering]

[howls]

Whoo!

You're being awfully considerate
today, sir.

You didn't yell, "Turn down the music!"
or "Turn up the fun!" even once.

By the way, I know it's you, Snoopy.

[chuckles]

It's okay. It was nice to hear the music
without Patricia snoring overtop.

I don't suppose... you can impersonate me?

Eh?

Hmm. The look is right,
but too much attitude.

Perfect. Could you pose as me tomorrow?

I'm supposed to go
to a hockey game with Patricia.

Whoo-hoo! Yeah!

Great. Whatever you do,
don't tell Patricia it's you.

Whatever this is,
it's not going to end well.

- [crowd cheering]
- Whoo-hoo!

[horn sounds]

You're pretty into the game, Marcie.

You didn't even bring a book
or any homework.

[buzzer sounds]

- [both] Whoo-hoo!
- [crowd cheering]

High five!

Great game, eh, Marcie?

Whoo-hoo!

I know it's you, Snoopy.

- Uh-oh.
- Don't worry.

It's nice to watch a game
with someone who cares about the score.

- I guess Marcie figured out my trick, huh?
- Mm-hmm.

But she doesn't know
that I know she knows.

Which means you can go to the ballet
with her tomorrow in my place.

The ballet always makes me sleepy.

All that twirling and dipping and weaving.

Just thinking about it
makes me... [yawns] ...tired.

[snoring]

[ballet music plays]

I guess Patricia didn't want
to come to the ballet either?

[sniffles]

[cries]

[chortles]

It's funny, but I kinda miss her snoring.

It added something to the experience.

Although,

I suppose she doesn't know that I know
that she knows that I know her trick.

Hmm?

So, how do you feel about birds?

[birds chirping]

You know what kind of bird that is?

[whistles]

[chatters]

[chatters]

[chatters]

[sighs]

Marcie would know.

She knows all kinds of stuff.

You wanna know a secret?

Sometimes I even think it's interesting.

Don't tell her I said that.

We're supposed to go
to the movies tomorrow.

I guess she doesn't wanna do that either.

[sighs]

What are you painting, Marcie?

It's Patricia.

We were supposed to see a movie tomorrow,

but she probably doesn't want
to go with me anymore.

[sighs]

I know you didn't mean
for it to happen, Snoopy,

but I think spending time with you instead
of each other is hurting their friendship.

[sighs]

Hey, Snoopy, what gives?

I thought I was seeing a movie
with you dressed as Marcie.

Where's your wig, Snoopy?

[clears throat]

Oh! Hello, sir.

You came!

Does that mean you wanna
watch the movie with me?

I do, if you wanna watch it with me?

Only if you promise to point out
how unscientific it all is.

Okay,

but you have to snore extra loud
during the dramatic bits.

Deal.

Aw.

[whispers]
Just so you know, sir, in real life,

it would take a lot longer
for those bunnies to travel through space.

[snoring]

Good to have you back, sir.

Good job, Snoopy. Popcorn?

[gasps]

[chortles]

[sighs] Good grief.

[jazz playing]
