Peppermint Patty

Peppermint Patty: "I wonder if I'll be beautiful when I'm a senior in High School... if I knew I wasn't going to be beautiful, I wouldn't bother having my graduation pictures taken..." Peppermint Patty: "Chuck, would you want my graduation picture sitting on your piano?" Charlie Brown: "We don't have a piano." Peppermint Patty: "..." Peppermint Patty: "That's what I like about you, Chuck. You're always right there with a quick wishy-washy answer..."

Peppermint Patty: "Hello? Chuck? I need your help... I need someone to talk to. Guess what happened? They won't let me wear my sandals to school anymore. It's against the dress code! What am I going to do? I need your advice, Chuck. Please..." Charlie Brown: "Well, I-I-I... u-uhh... you- I... uh..." Peppermint Patty: "Thanks anyway, Chuck..." hangs up.

Peppermint Patty: "I'm not beautiful, Chuck... Do you think I'm not beautiful because of something I did in a past life?" Charlie Brown: "Well, I-" Peppermint Patty: "Don't say anything, Chuck. I know I'm not beautiful, don't say anything..." A few seconds of silence pass. Peppermint Patty: "Please say something, Chuck." Charlie Brown: "W-What?" Peppermint Patty: "I mean, maybe it's wrong to complain about not being beautiful, do you think that's wrong, Chuck? Charlie Brown: "...I... couldn't tell you, Patty..."

Peppermint Patty: "Hey, Chuck! Come on over and see what my Dad got me for my birthday." Peppermint Patty: "Roses! And do you know what he said? He said that I'm growing up fast and soon I'll be a beautiful young lady and all the boys will be calling me up so he just wanted to be the first one in my life to get me a dozen roses!" Peppermint Patty: "He calls me "a rare gem". Charlie Brown: "I agree, Happy Birthday." Peppermint Patty:: Suddenly, I feel very feminine!

Peppermint Patty: "Baseball season is on the way, Chuck. This is the ol' pitchers mound, huh? I'll bet you spend a lotta time up here... huh Chuck..." Charlie Brown: "You're an unusual girl..." Peppermint Patty: "You kinda like me, don't you Chuck~?"

Peppermint Patty: "Poor Chuck... How was I to know he would fall for me? Maybe he's just always liked me and never really said anything. I'd hate to make him unhappy. I know how it is when you fell for someone, you think about them all the time. Poor Chuck, I'll bet he can't even sleep..." Charlie Brown: Fast asleep.

Peppermint Patty: "That Chuck.. he's something else. I don't even know why I think about him all the time... he just doesn't seem to understand a girl's emotions... or hugging, or kissing, or even love at all... so why can't I stop thinking about him??"

Charlie Brown: "... and then she'd kind of grin... sigh" Peppermint Patty: "I'm worried about you, Chuck." Charlie Brown: "About me?" Peppermint Patty: "Yes, I'm worried that you're living too much in the past... you haven't seen that little red-haired girl for over a year, and yet you keep talking about her. I just hate to see you always living in the past... when you should realize what you already have could be way better~♡"

Peppermint Patty: "Rain! Good grief! How could have fun at camp with dorky weather like this?... Poor Chuck... I gotta go visit him..." Marcie: "Sir, what time is lunch?" Peppermint Patty: "Don't call me 'sir'! What kind of a dorky kid are you? Marcie: "Dorky? You shouldn't criticize the weather, sir. It's all part of the world we live in." Peppermint Patty: "Quit calling me sir." Marcie: "Besides, the rain is probably helping some farmer, which of course brings up another point. I've never seen a farmer go to summer camp, have you, sir?" Peppermint Patty: "I can't stand it!"

Marcie: "Are you sure this is all right, sir? Peppermint Patty: "Stop calling me 'sir'! Of course it's all right. I checked us out with our counselor, and she said just to make sure we're back by nine." Marcie: "Who are we going to see?" Peppermint Patty: "Well, one of the boys named Chuck is there... he's real neat..." Marcie: Sir, I didn't tell you, did I, but there's another girl in our camp who knows Chuck." Peppermint Patty: "Another girl? Who?" Marcie: "I don't know her name, but she said she used to go to the same school as Chuck- Sir, why are you standing with your head against that tree? Peppermint Patty: "...Let's go back, I have to talk with her..."

Peppermint Patty: "Alright, where is she? Point out the little red-haired girl to me." Marcie: "You're still in love with Chuck, aren't you sir?" Peppermint Patty: "Stop calling me sir! All I want to do is meet this girl Chuck is always talking about!" Marcie: "Slugging her won't solve anything, sir." Peppermint Patty: "If you don't hurry up and point her out to me, I'm gonna slug you!" Marcie: "I'm not afraid of you, sir." Peppermint Patty: "AAUGH!"

Linus Van Pelt: "What happened at the girls' camp, Patty?" Peppermint Patty: "I saw the little red-haired girl, Linus. I actually saw her. I stood right in front of her... I finally saw the little red-haired girl that Chuck is always talking about. And you know what I did? I cried, Linus! I cried, and I cried, and I cried!" Peppermint Patty: I suddenly realized why Chuck has always loved her, and I realized that he would never love me that way... I started to cry. I made a fool of myself, but I didn't care! I just looked at her and I cried and cried... Peppermint Patty: I have a big nose! And my split ends have split ends! And I'll always be funny looking, and I think I'm gonna cry again....."

Peppermint Patty: "Hi Chuck, Ol' buddy... how've you been?" Charlie Brown: "Fine, Patty. Uhh, could you hold on a sec? I think someone's at the door. Mind if I put you on hold?" Peppermint Patty: "Put me on hug, Chuck~♡"

Peppermint Patty: "Do you like me more than I like you, Chuck?" Charlie Brown: "I don't know... do you like me more than I like you?" Peppermint Patty: "..." Peppermint Patty: "Let's not play lovers' games, Chuck..."

Peppermint Patty: "What do you think security is, Chuck?" Charlie Brown: "I'd say being able to ride in the back seat of your parents' car. You don't have to worry about anything. Your mom and dad are in the front seat, and they do all the worrying. They take care of everything." Peppermint Patty: "That's real neat!" Charlie Brown: "But it doesn't last! Suddenly, you're grown up, and it can never be that way again. You'll never sleep in the back again." Peppermint Patty: "Never?" Charlie Brown: "Never!" Peppermint Patty: "Hold my hand, Chuck!!"

Charlie Brown: "Well, there goes our charity baseball game! If no one buys a ticket, we might as well call it off... Rats! I never do anything right! Nothing ever works out for me..." Peppermint Patty: "Poor, sweet baby~♡" Kisses him on the cheek.

Peppermint Patty: "Hello Chuck? How would you like to have a house guest? Who? Me! My dad's gonna be out of town for a while, and I can't stay here alone~!" Marcie: "You can always stay at my house, sir." Peppermint Patty: "No, I have absolutely no place to stay! I appreciate this, Chuck~! Marcie: "But we have lots of room at my house, sir!" Peppermint Patty: "I'll be over as soon as I pack! Thanks, Chuck~♡!"

Peppermint Patty: "Betty? Yes ma'am... I admit it. I signed my English report 'Betty.' It wasn't much of a report... let's just say I changed my name to protect the innocent."

Peppermint Patty: "This is some test..." Peppermint Patty: "Who were the beaker people? Who was Cassivellaunus? Who was Cunobelin? What were the causewayed camps??" Peppermint Patty: "..." Peppermint Patty: "IT'S GUESSING TIME!!"

Peppermint Patty: "The answer is nine! Peppermint Patty: "It isn't? Rats! The first minute of the first day of school and I get the wrong answer... do I get anything for setting a record?"

Peppermint Patty: "What is the capital of Iraq?" Peppermint Patty: "Hmm... wow! Heavy... I'm not sure I can handle that question, ma'am. Could I send in a pinch-hitter?"

Peppermint Patty: "A man has twenty coins consisting of dimes and quarters. If the dimes were quarters and the quarters were dimes, he would have ninety cents more than he has now. How many dimes and quarters does he have?" Peppermint Patty: "..." Peppermint Patty: "HELP!!"

Peppermint Patty: "Education is important, Franklin. Say for instance I'm the manager of a major-league ball club and I'm taking the lineup out to the umpire. That lineup has punctuated correctly, doesn't it? You can't take a starting lineup out to the umpire if it isn't punctuated correctly, can you?"

Peppermint Patty: "Hi Chuck... I need to talk to you. How's it going?" Charlie Brown: "Pretty good, how have you been doing?" Peppermint Patty: "Terrible, Chuck! Just terrible!" Charlie Brown: "I'm sorry to hear that. Is it school again?" Peppermint Patty: "Yeah... according to a recent poll, my stupidity is on the rise!"

Peppermint Patty: "Chuck! What're you doing at my desk?!" Charlie Brown: "Our school building collapsed so we have to to come here for awhile..." Peppermint Patty: "You mean we're gonna be sharing? Wow! This is great! Side by side, eh? Look out today, ma'am! You're gonna be double teamed!!"

Peppermint Patty: "Okay Chuck, this is the way we're gonna work. As long as we're sitting at the same desk, we might as well be a team. Peppermint Patty: ! Peppermint Patty: "Our hips are touching, Chuck~♡!"

Peppermint Patty: "We have to do good on this test today, Chuck. If we do good, maybe we'll get a college scholarship. Do you think we'd make it in the ivy league? Peppermint Patty: "If you had any trouble, Chuck, I'd help you out~!"

Peppermint Patty: "Chuck, have you ever told a girl that you like her?" Charlie Brown: "And have her laugh in my face? Nothing doing!! It hurts to have your face laughed in..." Peppermint Patty: "I don't understand, Chuck." Peppermint Patty: "Well, say something nice to me, and I'll show you. Say something sensitive to me, and I'll laugh in your face." Peppermint Patty: "...I love you, Chuck~♡" Charlie Brown: blushes profusely.

Marcie: "Sir, why are you sitting in a pumpkin patch?" Peppermint Patty: "Halloween is coming, Marcie! Linus told me that on Halloween night the "Great Pumpkin" rises up out of the Pumpkin Patch and brings gifts to all the kids in the world!" Marcie: "Do you really believe that, sir?" Peppermint Patty: "I have to believe it, Marcie. I'm in bad need of a new baseball glove!"

Linus Van Pelt: "You're going to be so excited, Patty. When the Great Pumpkin rises out of the pumpkin patch tonight, it's a sight to behold!" Peppermint Patty: "Does my pumpkin patch look sincere enough, Linus?" Linus Van Pelt: "Don't ask!! Only the Great Pumpkin can make that judgement!" Peppermint Patty: "Wow!!"

Peppermint Patty: "Linus, are you and I the only ones who believe in the Great Pumpkin?" Linus Van Pelt: "Not for long! Someday our number will increase! Someday we may even have become a great organization of believers." Peppermint Patty: "If we have fund raisers, I'm not gonna wash cars."

Lucy Van Pelt: "Why don't we both go to have our ears pierced, Patty?" Peppermint Patty: "I have no doubts about my femininity, Lucille!" Lucy Van Pelt: "I never said you did, Patty, I just don't want to go alone." Peppermint Patty: "Okay, I'm game for anything. Let's do it!" Marcie: "You're both going to get hepatitis and end up in hospital." Peppermint Patty: "Marcie, you always look on the dark side of everything!" Marcie: "Don't blame me when your ears fall off, sir."

Peppermint Patty: "The nurse said the doctor will see you now, Lucille." Lucy Van Pelt: "Uh... why don't you go first?" Peppermint Patty: "Having our ears pierced was your idea, Lucille!" Lucy Van Pelt: "Maybe it wasn't such a good idea... why don't you go first? I'm not ready..." Peppermint Patty: "How can you not be ready??" Lucy Van Pelt: "My ears aren't warmed up!"

Peppermint Patty: "Okay Lucille, just to show you I'm not afraid. I'll go first!" Lucy Van Pelt: "I guess I've been kind of scared for nothing... actually, it'll be great to have pierced ears, we can wear beautiful earrings and-" Peppermint Patty: YIPE! Lucy Van Pelt: "FORGET IT!"

Peppermint Patty: "LUCILLE, YOU RAN OUT ON ME!! I HAD ONE EAR PIERCED, AND YOU RAN OUT! WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WITH ONE PIERCED EAR?!" Peppermint Patty: "I should have listened to you, Marcie. Besides, what do girls like us with long hair need pierced ears?"

Marcie: "I didn't know you could skaye, sir!" Peppermint Patty: "I'm really into sports, Marcie. It's my life. When I grow up, I'm gonna become a professional skater during the winter, and a baseball player in thr summer. Marcie: "You're an amazing person, sir." Peppermint Patty: "Stop calling me 'sir'!"

Peppermint Patty: "You know what, Marcie, I miss not having a 'skating mother'... skating mothers are like stage mothers and swimming mothers... they grumble and complain and gossip and fuss, but you sure do need them!" Marcie: "How do they get that way, sir?" Peppermint Patty: "Early rising and too much coffee!"
