Charlie Brown Why can't I have a normal dog like everybody else? [last lines as the camp is over] Well, lots of things have happened to me, and I'm glad I did what I did. You know, I was never sure how I'd be able to stand up under pressure and how I'd make decisions, and I feel good about myself for the first time in my life! I think now that dumb things won't happen to me anymore. I feel like I'm more in control! [bus door closes and bus takes off] HEY! DON'T FORGET ME! [sighs] Snoopy, the bus took off, and they forgot me! Can you give me a lift? Sally Brown [First lines while traveling on a bus, Sally waves to a boy and girl outside, but the girl sticks her tongue out at her] Did you see that? She stuck her tongue out at me! I waved at that little kid and she stuck her tongue out at me! Boy, if I could get off this bus, I'd go back there and punch her lights out! [Everybody is writing on their registration form except her] What a trip! Here we are doing a paper! We could've stayed in school! [as she knits a wallet in front of a crafts tent with the other girls] If you want a wallet, why can't you just go to the store and buy one? [Her piece of thread breaks and she screams] Others Schroeder: Musicians don't dance. Dialogue Peppermint Patty: [about his registration form] Hey Chuck. Give us a hint. What did you write? Charlie Brown: Well, I'm not quite sure. It's kind of personal, you know. Peppermint Patty: Oh, come on, Chuck. We're close friends, you know. Charlie Brown: Well, okay. [Reads from his paper] I decided to come to camp, because I've never been much of a person. I thought maybe coming to camp would help me grow up, and maybe make me into a leader. I could use leadership qualities. Peppermint Patty: You could say that again, Chuck. You couldn't lead a dog on a leash. Franklin: I've never made a bed in my life. Do I have directions? By the way, it's a little chilly in here. Where's the thermostat? Charlie Brown: Hey! We're supposed to be roughing it. There's no thermostat in a tent! Linus: Are we dead? Lucy: Thanks to old Charlie Brown. Sally: I'm not dead. Peppermint Patty: Of course you're not dead! Lucy: No thanks to old Charlie Brown! Charlie Brown: All right, all right, let's go to the river! [The kids take a wrong turn to a channel and see a sign: "Danger, Blasting on Tuesdays and Thursdays"] Charlie Brown: That's funny. Did you see that sign? Peppermint Patty: Hey, Chuck, did you see that sign? What day is this? Charlie Brown: That's right! Today is Tuesday! [the kids pass by a group of bulldozers and tractors and see another sign: "Danger, Blasting Tuesdays and Thursdays, 10 am] Peppermint Patty: Chuck, did you see that sign? What time is it, Chuck? Charlie Brown: [checks his watch] It's almost... [a huge explosion occurs and a bunch of rocks fall on the screaming kids] Charlie Brown: ...10 AM! [the rocks stop falling and the channel goes calm] Peppermint Patty: Okay, Chuck! Another fine mess you've gotten us into! Look at that! The channel is all blocked! Lucy: Yeah, just like his head! Peppermint Patty: Okay gang, I suggest we run this tent in a democratic fashion. The first thing we'll do is elect a tent leader. We'll have to prepare some ballots, and we'll do this democratically. We'll vote to see who's leader - one gal, one vote. However, we can't pass the ballots until we voted to see who's gonna pass the ballots. This will be done very democratically. Let's see... I vote that Lucy prepares the ballots. Lucy: Wait a minute! You can't vote unless we have ballots! Marcie: If we can't vote to see who will pass the ballots, how can we have ballots to vote? Sally: Yeah, who cares? Peppermint Patty: All in favor say "aye". Aye! Marcie: Aye! Lucy: No! Sally: No! Peppermint Patty: It's settled, Lucy will pass the ballots. Okay Lucy, pass the ballots. Everybody mark their choice, either vote for me or against me. That'll be fair. Lucy: Wait one darned second! How about if we nominate somebody first? Peppermint Patty: Good idea! I nominate me! Any further nominations? If not, the nominations are declared closed. Okay gals, let's vote. [the girls vote] Peppermint Patty: Marcie, pick up the votes and tally 'em. Marcie: Alright, here's the way it went: one vote for Lucy, one vote for Peppermint Patty, one vote for Sally, and one vote for Marcie. Peppermint Patty: Huh, a tie vote. I guess I'll have to decide the casting vote. Lucy: Huh? Peppermint Patty: The deciding vote is for Peppermint Patty! Peppermint Patty is the leader! I am the leader! It was fair and square! Lucy: Boy, some vote! Camp Announcer: Attention, attention! Turn out for PT! Turn out for PT! Attention, attention! Turn out for PT! Peppermint Patty: Alright, troops, on the double! On the double! Turn out! Turn out! Sally: What's this now? The infantry?! Marcie: Sir, PT? What in the world is that? Peppermint Patty: PT means physical training. You know, exercise. Come on, let's go! [As Charlie Brown prepares breakfast for everyone, which are just bowls of Corn Pow] Peppermint Patty: Well, Chuck, you've done it again, cold cereal! We need a hot breakfast! Where are the hotcakes? Where are the bacon and eggs? Where are the huevos rancheros? Charlie Brown: Now just a minute! Nobody's asked for your opinion! If you don't like what we've got, you don't have to eat it! Peppermint Patty: No offense, Chuck. Just a natural feminine reaction to a most deplorable situation.
