A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving

[The scene begins with Lucy catching a football]

Lucy: Charlie Brown, oh, Charlie Brown?

Charlie Brown: I can't believe it. She must think I'm the most stupid person along.

Lucy: Come on, Charlie Brown. I'll hold the ball and you kick it.

Charlie Brown: Hold it? Huh! You pull it away and I'll land flat on my back and kill myself.

Lucy: But, Charlie Brown, it's thanksgiving.

Charlie Brown: What's that gotta do with anything?

Lucy: Well, one of the greatest tradition is just to give thanks and stuff. And the biggest most important tradition of all is the kicking lessons for football.

Charlie Brown: Is that right?

Lucy: Absolutely. Come on, Charlie Brown. It's a big honour for you.

[Then Charlie Brown walks further away]

Charlie Brown: Well, if it's that important, she would never turned out to trick me again. Maybe I should do it. Besides, she wouldn't try to trick me on a traditional holiday. (starts to run) This time I'm gonna kick that football clear to the moon! (tries to kick it, but Lucy pulls it away) '''AAAAAUUUUUUUGH!!! '''(thud)

Lucy: Isn't it peculiar, Charlie Brown, cause some tradition just slowly fade away.

["A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" logo appears along with "Written & created by Charles M. Schultz as Snoopy and Woodstock wear fancy clothes passing the scene]

[Snoopy gets the letter out of the mailbox that Charlie Brown was. Then Sally comes over]

Sally: What's the matter, big brother?

Charlie Brown: Nothing. I was just checking the mailbox.

Sally: What did you expect? A turkey card?

Charlie Brown: Holidays always progress us.

Sally: I know what you mean. I went out to buy a turkey tree. And all they have are things for Christmas.

Charlie Brown: For Christmas, already?

Sally: Anyway, what should I do for Thanksgiving? We were still up to doing something a little long. And all we have to do is find more work for us at school. Do you know what we have to do now? We have to ride on SA an Stanley Miles.

Charlie Brown: You mean Miles Standish?

Sally: I can't keep in track with all these people.

[Then Linus approaches]

Linus: What's all the commotion?

Charlie Brown: We've got another holiday to worry about. It seems thanksgiving is so precured to everyone off style.

Sally: I HAVEN'T EVEN FINISH EATING ALL MY HALLOWEEN CANDY!!

Linus: Sally, thanksgiving is a very important holiday. And I was the first one to ever suspect the real dinners the everybody always had.

Sally: Isn't he the cutest thing?

Linus: What are you gonna do on thanksgiving, Charlie Brown?

Charlie Brown: My mother, dad, and Sally and I are all going to my grandmother's for dinner.

Sally: Why don't you come along, Linus? We can hold hands under the table.

[Linus then shrieks and hides under the blanket walking away. Later that day, Charlie Brown is watching a show when he hears the phone rang]

Charlie Brown: Hello?

[It was Peppermint Patty]

Peppermint Patty: Hi, Chuck. This is Peppermint Patty. How have you been, Chuck?

Charlie Brown: OK, I guess.

Peppermint Patty: Did you kind of miss me, Chuck?

Charlie Brown: Well, I uh...

Peppermint Patty: That's OK, Chuck. I am still pretty sure you won't mess anything. We are still planning to try things better. Alright, Chuck?

Charlie Brown: Well, I uh...

Peppermint Patty: Listen, I really have a treat for you. My dad should be out of town. He said you should go over to your grandmother's to have dinner.

Charlie Brown: Well, I uh...

Peppermint Patty: I don't know you how you invite me because I know you kind of liked me, Chuck.

Charlie Brown: Well, I uh...

Peppermint Patty: OK, thanks again. See you soon, ya sly devil.

Charlie Brown: (hangs up the phone) Oh, brother.

[Sally then approaches]

Sally: Now what?

Charlie Brown: Peppermint Patty's coming to thanksgiving dinner.

Sally: We won't even be home.

[Then the phone rang again]

Charlie Brown: Hello?

Peppermint Patty: Hi, Chuck. Listen, I really have some better news. Remember my great kid Marcie?

Charlie Brown: Sure.

Peppermint Patty: I just talked so much and she kinda liked to see you again. The folks who will be OK should join us. She can count on two for dinner, Chuck.

Charlie Brown: But, I just don't know.

Peppermint Patty: This will be OK to serve around for dinners. Won't you, Chuck?

Charlie Brown: Well, the problem is.

Peppermint Patty: Don't worry. We won't make anymore problems. We'll just serve the dishes for anything. Be sure to bring everything you get. OK, Chuck. See ya, Chuck. (hangs up the phone)

Charlie Brown: (hangs up the phone) How do I always get into these things? Now she's bringing Marcie too.

Sally: It's your own fault. Because you're so wishy washy.
