02x12 - Happiness Is a Song in Your Heart

[bunniefuu]

[Charlie Brown] "Too Much Togetherness."

Wow.

Look at this beautiful flow... er.

[sighs]

I'll be with you in a minute.

[coins clink]

Now, how can I help you?

Well, I wanted to...

- Five cents, please.
- [coins rattling, clink]

Proceed.

I just saw
the most beautiful little flower,

but instead of making me happy,

it made me sad
I had no one to share it with.

Of all the Charlie Browns in the world,
you're the Charlie "Brown-iest."

Have you ever considered
that maybe you do have someone

to share nice things with?

- [record scratches]
- Not me, you blockhead!

Your loyal companion.
Your faithful, ole pal.

You mean, Snoopy?

He may be a silly beagle,
but he is your silly beagle.

My advice to you
is spend more time with your dog.

Lucy's right.
I should spend more time with Snoopy.

After all, there's no stronger bond
than between a dog and his owner.

[munching]

Hi, Snoopy.

I was talking to Lucy,
and it's her professional opinion

that you should spend more time
with your best pal.

[cheering, clapping]

[munching]

Um... I believe she meant me.

Let's take a walk. It'll be fun.

[chewing, swallowing]

[Woodstock chirping, grumbling]

Isn't this nice?

A boy and his dog
out for an autumn stroll.

Nothing says "best pals"
like a good, old-fashioned game of catch.

It'd be even more fun if you played too.

Let's go get a snack.

Whoo-hoo!

Let's see.

A sandwich for me
and a dog biscuit for you.

[chewing]

I thought Snoopy ate outside.

We're spending more time together.

Why?

Because a boy's best friend
is his loyal dog.

[swallowing, chewing]

And a dog's best friend is his stomach.

Hmm.

Hmm, uh... Uh.

[snaps fingers]

[gasps]

Maybe we should watch some TV.

What do you say we watch
the baseball game, Snoopy?

- [cheering on baseball telecast]
- [bat cracks]

[dogs barking on new telecast]

But watching the ball game
is something we can enjoy together.

[cheering on baseball telecast]

[dogs barking]

I guess you're right.

Part of spending time
with your best friend

is learning to compromise.

[instrumental music playing on TV]

We can switch to the game
when this show ends.

I mean, how long can it be?

- [snoring]
- [rock music playing on TV]

[stammers] What?

[yawns]

It sure was fun
watching your show, Snoopy,

but it looks like it's bedtime.

See you in the morning.

[yawning]

[sighing, smacking lips]

You wanna sleep here tonight?

Sleepovers are a classic
best friend activity.

I like to read a little before bed.

I'll try not to disturb you
with my page-turning.

[grumbling]

[yawning]

[muttering]

[yelping, grumbling]

[sighing]

[muttering]

[Snoopy smacking lips]

- Whoa!
- [thuds]

[Snoopy snoring, sighing]

[Charlie Brown] Good grief.

[Snoopy snoring, sighing]

[shower running]

Ugh! Cold, cold, cold!

[shower stops running]

Who used all the hot water?

[teeth chattering]

[Snoopy humming]

[yelps]

[chewing]

Ugh! I'm surprised you're letting Snoopy
eat out of your favorite cereal bowl!

[slurping]

I don't mind, Sally.

- Because the bond...
- [slurping]

between a boy and his dog is...

[slurps]

Just so special.

[bowl shatters]

[Snoopy chuckles]

Ugh!

My shirt, if you please.

[sighs]

[chewing]

What about "best pals" and all that?

Sometimes the best thing for a friendship
is spending some time apart.

[sighs]

Whoa.

[chatters]

[sighs]

Hmm.

I agree, old pal.

Good things become great things
when you have someone to share them with.

Well, see you at supper?

[Woodstock chattering]

[Charlie Brown] "Snoopy Goes for Gold."

- [blowing bubbles]
- [Woodstock giggling]

[Woodstock chattering]

[laughing]

- [Snoopy laughing]
- [Rerun] Aw, look at him.

He's the cutest thing I've ever seen.

[Snoopy chuckles]

[Sally] He's friendly too.
He always has a smile on his face.

[Snoopy chuckles]

[Woodstock chattering,
imitating blowing bubbles]

[Sally] And, may I add,
he has the most beautiful tail.

- [Woodstock laughing]
- Huh?

[Rerun] Sure does. [laughs]

I can't wait to take him out of the box.

What does he like to watch on TV?

Oh! I haven't asked yet.

Hmm?

Welcome, class goldfish.
I'm so glad I get to keep you overnight.

You're so lucky.

Gosh. I could watch him all day.

I wonder how fish stay underwater
for so long.

Some believe it's because they're thirsty.

But I say it's because
they're related to mermaids.

Huh...

Wow, I'll never know
as much about science as you do.

[Snoopy grumbling]

- Where is he?
- [Franklin] I wanna see.

[Peppermint Patty]
Let me see the amazing new pet.

- He's so cute.
- Hey, little guy.

- That fish is pretty special.
- Sure is.

- Agreed.
- I can't see.

[Peppermint Patty]
You have the best view.

It's my turn.

Just to remind everyone,
the bowl is round.

- [Peppermint Patty] Over here.
- It's my turn.

- [Peppermint Patty] Hey, little guy.
- [Sally] He's so cute.

- [Linus] Hello, you wonder of existence.
- Do you like baseball?

- [Sally] My sweet, little baby.
- Need anything to read in there?

Aah, look at the bubble.

- Hi, fishy, fishy, fishy.
- [Snoopy barks, growls]

[shushes]

Impressive.

[Franklin] Wow. Look at his stripes. Whoa!

[blows raspberry]

Can he do any tricks?

Of course, he can.

Goldfish are very good at tricks.

Everyone, step back!
He needs room to perform.

Goldfish, I command you to just lie there.

[clapping, gasping]

- [Peppermint Patty] Impressive.
- Wow.

Notice how he sparkles in the light?

[blows bubbles]

[all] Oh!

Ugh.

I've read that goldfish are so smart,
they can recognize your face.

I hear if they like you,
they follow your gaze.

Me first. This goldfish and I have a bond.

Hello, little fish.
I'm the one looking after you.

Well, okay. L-Look at me now!

[splashes]

Uh, he's probably hungry and tired.

Taking care of a goldfish
is a very complicated task.

All done.

- [children gasping]
- [Franklin] Wow.

Time for him to get some rest.

- Bye, fish.
- Good night.

- Bye-bye.
- See you.

- [Peppermint Patty] Sleep tight.
- [Sally] Bye.

[grunts]

[blows bubbles]

[gasps]

Hmm.

[babbling]

Hmm?

[gasps]

[laughs]

[laughing]

After seeing that amazing goldfish,

I don't think anything else
will impress me.

What about a bird
in his own flying apparatus, sir?

I still prefer the goldfish.

Sometimes I feel as if I'm trapped,

longing to break through
the confines of daily life.

[Woodstock whooping, laughing]

I see.

So, the answer is that we should refuse
to let our confines limit our journey.

Wait! What other insights
can you share, little bird?

Hey! That insight was discovered
on my time!

[TV powers on]

[Snoopy laughs]

[imitating flying]

Ha!

[munching]

[Sally] Good morning, little fishy!

Did you have a good night's sleep?

[screams]

[panting, groaning]

Missing fish! He must be here somewhere.

[groans] No. No. Not here.

[groans, screams]

[items clanging]

What's the big commotion, Sally?

Call the FBI! Call the CIA!

Call the federal manager
of the Fish and Wildlife Department

in Washington, DC!

Someone "fish-napped" my fish!

- Don't worry. We'll find him.
- [sniffs]

He couldn't have gone very far.
He's a fish.

[yawns]

Ha-ha!

[chuckles]

[objects clattering]

There he is! He's just visiting Snoopy.

That little fish had me so worried.

Well, we found him safe and sound.

Let's go, little fish.
We're going to be late for school.

[laughs]

[whines inquisitively]

[gasping, yelping]

[Charlie Brown] Aah, look at the bubbles.

[Sally] Who's a cute fish? You are!
[inhales] You are!

[howls, sighs]

[Woodstock chattering]

[sighs]

[Woodstock chattering] Aha!

[blows bubble]

[Woodstock laughing]

[Snoopy laughs]

[inhales, blows bubbles]

- [laughing]
- [blowing bubbles]

[both laughing]

Whoo-hoo!

[Woodstock chattering]

[Charlie Brown]
"Happiness Is a Song in your Heart."

Hmm.

Let's talk more about that dream.
How did it make you feel?

That bad, huh?

[whimsical instrumental music playing]

Is that... Could it be?

It is! [grumbles]

- [munching]
- [music continues on TV]

This nonsense ends right now,
little brother.

No musicals!

What's wrong with musicals?
They're a classic art form.

None of that singing and dancing
happens in real life.

And if it did,
it would only cause problems.

Can you imagine if I went around like,
♪ La, la, la, la, la ♪

"Look at me! Life is just a jelly bowl
full of dream beans."

♪ La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la! ♪

Bravo! Bravo!

Don't applaud that! It's ridiculous!

Who'd want to live in a world
where people acted like that?

Hmm.

[bouncy music playing]

Ha!

Snoopy! Allow me to clarify.

[yelps]

[Lucy] No musicals allowed!

[whistling melody]

[singing]

[exclaims]

There's an old saying,

"If you want your day
to have a good start,

put a song into your heart."

[whistling weakly]

[Woodstock whines]

This may explain today.

And yesterday...

And the day before.

[birds whistling melody]

[Snoopy murmurs]

[whistling continues]

[exclaims]

[traditional folk music playing]

Ha!

[squeals]

Ha!

Ha-ha!

You see?
This is exactly what I was talking about.

Musicals disrespect the sanctity
of this sidewalk.

Shoo! Go away!

- [birds scream]
- Ugh!

Proof positive that musicals
cause nothing but chaos.

I don't know, Lucy.

Maybe we'd all be a little happier
if we let more music into our lives.

[whistling weakly]

I rest my case.

- [car horn honking]
- [birds yelping]

[Snoopy squeals]

[laughs]

[snapping fingers]

[rock music playing]

[guitar playing]

[car horn honking]

Hey! We're driving here, pal!

I believe he has the right-of-way, sir.

Snoopy!

[snapping fingers]

This is what happens when you
introduce musicals into real life.

Innocent bystanders
lose their ice cream cones.

You can have some of mine.

That's not the point.

You're welcome.

[piano playing bouncy music]

[big band music playing]

[Lucy] Linus!

Stop encouraging him!

It just looked like so much fun.

It may look like fun,

but all musicals do
is set up unreasonable expectations.

Make you think that life
is all silliness and happiness.

It's not.

[Snoopy yelps]

[gasping]

Whoa!

My piano!

You see?

Another musical causing nothing
but broken dreams.

You know whose fault this is?

No. You. And musicals.

I hope you learned your lesson.

[whimpers]

You didn't have to make Snoopy feel bad.

He had to learn the truth.

Look at Schroeder's piano. It's in ruins.

It's okay, Lucy.
I'll always have a song in my heart.

No, no, no. Ruins.

[sighs] Look at this mess.
It's all gone wrong.

And it all started because of a song!

- ♪ Because of a song ♪
- ♪ Because of a song ♪

♪ Because of a song
Because of a song ♪

♪ It all started because of a song
We're all pitching in because of a song ♪

♪ So, pick up the tune and sing along ♪

[jazz music playing]

Hey, wait a second. It can't be true.

Everyone's happy now...
♪ And I'm singing too! ♪

[Charlie Brown whistling loudly]

- ♪ It all started because of a song ♪
- [Snoopy whines]

♪ We're all pitching in because of a song

♪ Because... ♪

Ah, you were right, Snoopy.

♪ Because... ♪

Everything's better
when life's more like a musical.

[Charlie Brown sings weakly] ♪ Song! ♪

Well, not everything.
