A Charlie Brown Christmas

[The scene begins outside on the frozen pond. The kids were all skating around. Charlie Brown and Linus walk out of their house. Then they all rest behind a brick wall]

Charlie Brown: I think there must be something wrong with me, Linus. Christmas is coming, but I'm not happy. (offscreen) I don't feel the way I'm supposed to feel.

[Then they walk off]

Charlie Brown: I just don't understand Christmas, I guess. And decorating all the trees and all that, but I'm still not happy. I always end up feeling depressed.

Linus: Charlie Brown, you're the only person I know who just turned out and seemed to be a problem. Maybe Lucy's right. Among the Charlie Browns in the world, you're the Charlie Browniest.

[Then they approach to the ice. Snoopy skates all around and everybody starts holding him. Snoopy then spins around and falls over. As Charlie Brown and Linus skate around, Snoopy grabs his blanket with Linus holding on to it, then caught Charlie Brown and spins them in the air. Charlie Brown falls off the blanket and moves around the ice and crashes into a tree. "A Charlie Brown Christmas" logo appears around it"]

[Charlie Brown watches the snowfall as he puts on his coat. Then goes outside to check the mailbox]

Charlie Brown: Hello under there! (he sees nothing) Rats! Still no sign of letters and I always not end up feeling impressed about it.

[He then sees Violet looking after a card]

Charlie Brown: Thanks for the Christmas Card you sent me, Violet.

Violet: I didn't send you a Christmas card, Charlie Brown.

Charlie Brown: Don't you know a sarcasm when you hear it?

[He then sees "Pig-Pen" making a snowman.]

Charlie Brown: Pig-Pen, you're the only one you know who can say about a cloud of dust and a snowstorm.

[He then sees Snoopy eating beef bones while checking out his newspaper. The scene then goes to the kids]

Patty: Try and catch snowflakes with your tongue. (eats one) It's fun.

Linus: (eats a snowflake) Mmmm. Needs sugar.

Lucy: It's too early. I never eat December snowflakes. I always wait 'till January.

Linus: They sure look ripe to me.

[Everybody then starts throwing snowballs. Linus uses a blanket to put a snowball to it and sucessfully shoots the can. Then he walks away]

Lucy: You think you're so smart without a blanket! What are gonna do with it when you grow up?

Linus: Maybe I'll make it into a sport coat.

[This made Lucy very annoyed. Then Charlie Brown walks over to the psychiatry booth]

Linus: I think you have a customer.

[Lucy hurries on to Charlie Brown. She wipes the snow off her desk and changes the word from "out" to "real in".]

Lucy: May I help you?

Charlie Brown: I'm in sad shape.

Lucy: Wait a minute. Before you begin, I must ask that you pay an advance. Five cents please.

[Lucy waits for Charlie Brown to pay her. Charlie Brown found a nickle and puts it in the bank]

Lucy: Boy, what a sound. How I love you paying things for your own account. This beautiful cent, snickle, snickle, snickle. A beautiful sound for plenty nickels. Alright, so what seems to be the problem.

Charlie Brown: I didn't know it. I know I should be happy, but I'm not.

Lucy: Well, I think we should try and explain some reasons about what happened. If we can find out what you're afraid of, we can label it. Are you afraid of responsibility, if you are, then you have hypengeophobia.

Charlie Brown: I don't think that's quite it.

Lucy: How about cats? If you're afraid of cats, you have eriophrasia.

Charlie Brown: Well, sort of, but I'm not sure.

Lucy: Are you afraid of staircases? If you are, then you have climnicophobia. Thermosobia is the fear of the ocean, or chepherobia, which will be the fear of crossing bridges or maybe you have pentiphobia. Do you think you have pentiphobia?

Charlie Brown: What's pentiphobia?

Lucy: The fear of everything.

Charlie Brown: THAT'S IT!!

[Lucy then falls over the stall]

Charlie Brown: Actually, Lucy. I sure lose Christmas. I always end up unhappy.

Lucy: Sure thing. But we need someone to help you get through. How would you like to be the director of our Christmas play?

Charlie Brown: Me? Want me to be the director of our Christmas play?

Lucy: Sure, Charlie Brown. I'll be here to help you. We have a lot of things ready. We've got musicians, shepards, animals, everyone we need. We've even got a Christmas queen.

Charlie Brown: But I don't know anything about directing the Christmas play.

Lucy: Don't worry. I'll be there to help you. Even when things get hard. Incidentally, we are still wondering about the things we want.

Charlie Brown: So what is it you want?

Lucy: Real estates.

[On his way to the odditorium, he sees Snoopy carrying a box of decorations and then he decorates his doghouse.]

Charlie Brown: What's going on here?!

[Snoopy then gives him a flyer]

Charlie Brown: What's this? (reading) '''Find the true meaning of Christmas. Win money, money, money. Spectacular super colossal. Neighborhood Christmas. Lights and display contest. '''Lights and display contest?! Oh, no! My own dog gone commercial. I can't stand it. UGH!

[Charlie Brown walks away in shame when Sally sees him]

Sally: I've been looking for you, big brother.
