1. Now what?
Copy !req
2. Kind of a steep hill, isn't it?
Copy !req
3. Don't worry about it.
Just lean forward and jiggle your feet.
Copy !req
4. I think I've changed my mind.
Copy !req
5. If I had of known you were only going
that far, I would have stayed in.
Copy !req
6. Here we go. We put it in fast forward,
and here we go.
Copy !req
7. Fast reverse.
Copy !req
8. I think they look better when they have
a little star or an angel on top.
Copy !req
9. Would you like to buy
a Christmas wreath?
Copy !req
10. It's not even Thanksgiving yet.
Copy !req
11. By the time Christmas comes,
all the needles will be falling off.
Copy !req
12. Don't hang it near the turkey.
Copy !req
13. Would you like to buy
a Christmas wreath?
Copy !req
14. It isn't even Thanksgiving yet.
Copy !req
15. Would you like to buy
a Thanksgiving wreath?
Copy !req
16. Would you like to buy
a Christmas wreath?
Copy !req
17. Do you know what you are doing?
Copy !req
18. Don't you realize you're adding
to the over-commercializing of Christmas?
Copy !req
19. Not till I sell one.
Copy !req
20. Good morning.
This is a Christmas wreath—
Copy !req
21. Thank you. I love samples.
Copy !req
22. I give up. I can't imagine anyone else
having as much trouble as I do...
Copy !req
23. selling Christmas wreaths.
Copy !req
24. Good morning, sir. Would you like to buy
a nice Christmas wreath?
Copy !req
25. Merry Christmas anyway, sir.
Copy !req
26. "God bless us every one!"
said Tiny Tim, the last of all.
Copy !req
27. And joy to the world.
Copy !req
28. Rats.
Copy !req
29. What are you up to, big brother?
Copy !req
30. I'm trying to sell Christmas wreaths
from door to door.
Copy !req
31. Getting on the old commercial
bandwagon, eh?
Copy !req
32. Going after those big holiday bucks, huh?
Copy !req
33. Need any help?
Copy !req
34. Good morning. Ask your mom
if she would like to buy a Christmas wreath.
Copy !req
35. Tell her they were made
from the famous forests of Lebanon.
Copy !req
36. You can read about them in the second
chapter of the second book of Chronicles.
Copy !req
37. If you buy two, we'll throw in
an autographed photo of King Solomon.
Copy !req
38. You can't tell people these wreaths
were made from the forests of Lebanon.
Copy !req
39. That's lying.
Copy !req
40. Good morning, would you like to buy
a Christmas wreath...
Copy !req
41. made from some junky old branches
my brother found in a Christmas tree lot?
Copy !req
42. You wouldn't, would you?
And I can't say I blame you.
Copy !req
43. See? Your way doesn't work, either.
Copy !req
44. I think we need better packaging.
Copy !req
45. We need a better way to show off
our product.
Copy !req
46. Good morning. Would you like to buy
a Christmas wreath?
Copy !req
47. Guess what, Chuck. Disaster time.
Copy !req
48. Our teacher wants us to read a book
during Christmas vacation.
Copy !req
49. Got any suggestions?
Copy !req
50. On what book to read?
Copy !req
51. No. On how to get out of it.
Copy !req
52. I'm not going to have to read a book,
Marcie.
Copy !req
53. See, A Tale of Two Cities
was just on TV.
Copy !req
54. I watched the movie,
so now I won't have to read the book.
Copy !req
55. The only thing I didn't understand...
Copy !req
56. were the parts about the shampoo,
the soap and the coffee.
Copy !req
57. Those were the commercials, sir.
Copy !req
58. I'd like to read this book, Marcie,
but I'm kind of afraid.
Copy !req
59. I had a grandfather
who didn't think much of reading.
Copy !req
60. He always said if you read too many books,
your head would fall off.
Copy !req
61. You start the first chapter, sir,
and I'll hold on to your head.
Copy !req
62. Why aren't you reading your book, sir?
Copy !req
63. It's too nice a day
to stay inside and read, Marcie.
Copy !req
64. Besides, I have to build this snowman.
Copy !req
65. If I don't do it, no one else will,
and he'll never exist.
Copy !req
66. I'm his creator.
It's my duty to give him life.
Copy !req
67. This snowman has a right to live, Marcie.
Copy !req
68. You're weird, sir.
Copy !req
69. Marcie, what book were we supposed
to read during Thanksgiving vacation?
Copy !req
70. This is Christmas vacation, sir.
Copy !req
71. Christmas vacation?
Copy !req
72. How can I read something
during Christmas vacation...
Copy !req
73. when I didn't read what I was supposed
to read during Thanksgiving vacation?
Copy !req
74. Duck, sir. Easter is coming.
Copy !req
75. - What are we going to hear today, Marcie?
- Handel's "Messiah."
Copy !req
76. The most exciting part is when they get
to the "Hallelujah" chorus...
Copy !req
77. and everyone stands.
Copy !req
78. Standing is exciting?
Copy !req
79. It's the "Hallelujah" chorus, sir.
Everyone is standing up.
Copy !req
80. - They're what?
- Standing up.
Copy !req
81. Yipe!
Copy !req
82. Everywhere we go, Marcie,
you embarrass me.
Copy !req
83. What was Handel's first name, Marcie?
Copy !req
84. I'm ashamed to admit, I don't know.
Copy !req
85. I'll just have to guess.
Copy !req
86. I suppose we're going to have to listen
to that bell ringing...
Copy !req
87. every time we walk by here now.
Copy !req
88. Wouldn't you think he could do something
besides ring a bell?
Copy !req
89. Just ignore that Santa Claus, Linus.
There's nothing he can do to you.
Copy !req
90. I don't think you're a real Santa Claus.
Copy !req
91. What do you have to say about that?
Copy !req
92. I don't think you're the real Santa Claus.
Copy !req
93. If you're the real Santa,
where are your helpers?
Copy !req
94. That's the dumbest thing I've ever seen.
Copy !req
95. You mean "giving."
Christmas is the joy of giving.
Copy !req
96. I don't have the slightest idea
what you're talking about.
Copy !req
97. Giving. The only real joy is giving.
Copy !req
98. Like, wow.
Copy !req
99. I'm making out my Christmas list.
Copy !req
100. Now, how do you spell your name?
Copy !req
101. I'm your brother and you don't even know
how to spell my name?
Copy !req
102. I'll put down "Sam."
I know how to spell that.
Copy !req
103. - What was his name again?
- Santa Claus.
Copy !req
104. - Any middle initial?
- No, I don't think so.
Copy !req
105. At least I've never heard of one.
Copy !req
106. How about his wife?
Do you know her name?
Copy !req
107. Well, sometimes you hear people say
her name is Mary Christmas.
Copy !req
108. Really? That's very interesting.
Copy !req
109. Maybe I'll write to her instead.
Copy !req
110. Whoo-whoo!
Hee-hee-hee.
Copy !req
111. - Where are all the candy canes?
- The what?
Copy !req
112. The candy canes that were on the tree.
Copy !req
113. They're all gone.
Copy !req
114. - Have you looked outside?
- Outside?
Copy !req
115. Tell me about Christmas, Linus.
Copy !req
116. How did all these Christmas stuff
start anyway?
Copy !req
117. Except for the part
of getting lots of presents...
Copy !req
118. I don't see what all the fuss is about.
Copy !req
119. Well, this is from
the second chapter of Luke.
Copy !req
120. You know what I hate? I hate shopping.
Copy !req
121. "And there were in the same country
shepherds abiding in the field—"
Copy !req
122. I haven't got anything for my brother
for Christmas yet.
Copy !req
123. - "And, lo, the angel of the Lord came—"
- Everything costs so much.
Copy !req
124. - "And the glory of the Lord shone round—"
- I don't want to spend a lot.
Copy !req
125. "And they were sore afraid."
Copy !req
126. Actually, I don't really wanna spend
any money at all.
Copy !req
127. - "And the angel said unto—"
- I wonder if I can get him...
Copy !req
128. something for free?
Copy !req
129. Is that it? I always thought
the Christmas story was longer than that.
Copy !req
130. That song drives me crazy.
Copy !req
131. What in the world is a calling bird?
Copy !req
132. A calling bird is a kind of partridge.
Copy !req
133. In 1 Samuel 26:20, it says:
Copy !req
134. "For the king of Israel has come out
to seek my life...
Copy !req
135. just as though
he were hunting the calling bird."
Copy !req
136. There's a play on words here, you see?
Copy !req
137. David was standing
on a mountain, calling.
Copy !req
138. And he compared himself
to a partridge being hunted.
Copy !req
139. Isn't that fascinating?
Copy !req
140. If I get socks again
for Christmas this year,
Copy !req
141. I'll go even more crazy.
Copy !req
142. I remember reading
that Albert Schweitzer...
Copy !req
143. dreaded the thought
of receiving Christmas gifts.
Copy !req
144. And do you know why that was?
Copy !req
145. It was because he hated having to write
thank you notes.
Copy !req
146. What do you think about that?
Copy !req
147. Who's Albert Schweitzer?
Copy !req
148. Yes, ma'am. I would like to buy
a Christmas present for a girl I know.
Copy !req
149. I was thinking maybe a pair of gloves.
Copy !req
150. Would it help if I described her?
Copy !req
151. Well, she has 10 fingers...
Copy !req
152. Twenty-five dollars for a pair of gloves?
Copy !req
153. I'm sorry, ma'am,
that's more than I can afford.
Copy !req
154. Could I maybe buy just a thumb?
Copy !req
155. I wanted to buy Peggy Jean
some gloves for Christmas...
Copy !req
156. but they cost $25.
Copy !req
157. She's going to be disappointed when
she finds out her boyfriend is a cheapskate.
Copy !req
158. I'm not a cheapskate.
I just don't have $25.
Copy !req
159. - Put it on your credit card.
- I don't have a credit card.
Copy !req
160. So long, Peggy Jean.
Copy !req
161. I'd like to give Peggy Jean
a nice pair of gloves for Christmas...
Copy !req
162. but I can't afford it.
Copy !req
163. If she really likes you, Charlie Brown...
Copy !req
164. she'll appreciate anything you give her.
Copy !req
165. If you don't give her exactly
what she's expecting...
Copy !req
166. she'll hate you for the rest of your life.
Copy !req
167. You know why I wanna buy Peggy Jean
those gloves for Christmas?
Copy !req
168. When I first met her this summer at camp,
I noticed what pretty hands she had.
Copy !req
169. I want those pretty hands to be warm.
Copy !req
170. But I don't have $25 to buy the gloves.
Copy !req
171. Send her a nice card and tell her
to keep her hands in her pockets.
Copy !req
172. See? There they are.
Copy !req
173. Those are the gloves
I'd like to buy Peggy Jean for Christmas.
Copy !req
174. Where are you going to get $25?
Copy !req
175. That's the problem.
Copy !req
176. Maybe you can sell your dog.
Copy !req
177. Phbbtt!
Copy !req
178. I take it back.
He's probably only worth 50 cents.
Copy !req
179. Yes, ma'am,
I'm looking at those gloves again.
Copy !req
180. I wish I could get them for this girl I know
but I can't afford them.
Copy !req
181. I just like to stand here and pretend
I'm buying them for her.
Copy !req
182. Sorry, ma'am, I didn't realize
I was fogging up the glass.
Copy !req
183. Go ahead. Ask him.
Copy !req
184. Is this the bus stop?
Copy !req
185. All I have is a dime. Will I get change?
Copy !req
186. Do you have a Billie Jean King?
Copy !req
187. Are these all you have?
Copy !req
188. Yes, ma'am, I sold my whole collection
of comic books.
Copy !req
189. See? Here's the money.
Copy !req
190. Now I can buy those gloves
for that girl I like.
Copy !req
191. Brownie Charles.
Copy !req
192. Peggy Jean. What are you doing here?
Copy !req
193. I've been shopping with my mother.
Copy !req
194. Look. I just bought
this new pair of gloves.
Copy !req
195. And did you buy her the gloves?
Copy !req
196. Sure. I sold my whole comic book collection
to get the money.
Copy !req
197. Then, I met her in the store and she showed
me the new pair of gloves she just bought.
Copy !req
198. So you're not going to give her
the pair you bought?
Copy !req
199. Why give her something she already has?
Copy !req
200. Well, at least they didn't go to waste.
Copy !req
201. I'm going to ask the teacher if I can be
Mary in the Christmas play this year.
Copy !req
202. She's already asked me, sir.
Copy !req
203. I think I'll be great in the part.
Copy !req
204. She asked me yesterday.
Copy !req
205. I like the part
where the angel Gabriel talks to her.
Copy !req
206. Why would Gabriel talk to you?
You never listen.
Copy !req
207. I can probably wear these same sandals.
Copy !req
208. Yes, ma'am. I'd like to volunteer to play
the part of Mary in our Christmas play.
Copy !req
209. You what?
Copy !req
210. That's right, sir. She asked me yesterday.
Copy !req
211. Mary never wore glasses.
Copy !req
212. Hey, Chuck, did Mary ever wear glasses?
Copy !req
213. What do you mean, "Mary who?"
Copy !req
214. In the Bible. Does it say anything
about Mary wearing glasses?
Copy !req
215. Then how can Marcie play Mary
instead of me?
Copy !req
216. And the teacher says
I'm going to be playing a sheep.
Copy !req
217. Why can't I ever be a wrong number?
Copy !req
218. Guess what? I've been asked to be in
the Christmas play.
Copy !req
219. I'm going to be an angel.
Copy !req
220. All I have to do is say, "Hark."
Copy !req
221. This is what I have to do
in the Christmas play.
Copy !req
222. When the sheep are through dancing,
I come out and say, "Hark."
Copy !req
223. Then Harold Angel starts to sing.
Copy !req
224. Harold Angel?
Copy !req
225. It's right here in the script.
Copy !req
226. Hark! How did that sound?
Copy !req
227. I'm practicing my line
for the Christmas play.
Copy !req
228. I live in mortal dread of getting out
on the stage...
Copy !req
229. and forgetting what I am to say.
Copy !req
230. Well, if you did,
you could always make up something.
Copy !req
231. That's true. How about, "Hey"?
Copy !req
232. Not very biblical.
Copy !req
233. Here's the line I have to say
in the Christmas play.
Copy !req
234. See if I get it right.
Copy !req
235. Hark.
Copy !req
236. You got it.
Copy !req
237. I have always wondered how actors
remember all those lines.
Copy !req
238. I'm all set for the Christmas play.
Do I look like an angel?
Copy !req
239. You look fine.
Copy !req
240. Good luck. Break a leg.
Copy !req
241. Linus and I will be in the audience.
Copy !req
242. Another Christmas play...
Copy !req
243. and I have to be a sheep.
Copy !req
244. I hate being a sheep.
Copy !req
245. No part in a play is small, sir,
if it brings joy to the audience.
Copy !req
246. Baa!
Copy !req
247. You do that so well, sir.
Copy !req
248. Every time there's a Christmas play...
Copy !req
249. I end up being a sheep.
Copy !req
250. - Watch out for the curb here, sir.
- What?
Copy !req
251. Slouching toward Bethlehem, huh, sir?
Copy !req
252. I can't stand it.
Copy !req
253. You look cute in your sheep costume, sir.
Copy !req
254. Sure, Marcie, sure.
Copy !req
255. I was up late last night
memorizing all my lines.
Copy !req
256. All your lines.
Copy !req
257. I can't remember my lines, Marcie.
Copy !req
258. You're a sheep, sir.
All you have to say is, "Baa."
Copy !req
259. My mind has gone blank. I'm doomed.
Copy !req
260. I wonder if this happened
to Laurence Olivier?
Copy !req
261. Hark.
Copy !req
262. Hark.
Copy !req
263. Hark.
Copy !req
264. Looks like the play will start soon.
Copy !req
265. Well, you'll have to excuse me, sir.
My first scene.
Copy !req
266. Baa!
Copy !req
267. Who wants to be in a Christmas play
if they make you be a sheep?
Copy !req
268. A sheep doesn't get to do anything.
Copy !req
269. Hark.
Copy !req
270. I am Gabriel. Do not be afraid, Mary.
Copy !req
271. - Behold, I am the handmaiden of the Lord.
Baa! Baa!
Copy !req
272. Baa! Baa!
Copy !req
273. I am Gabriel, Mary...
Copy !req
274. and I couldn't hear you
because of the sheep.
Copy !req
275. Hark.
Copy !req
276. Hark.
Copy !req
277. Hark.
Copy !req
278. Hark.
Copy !req
279. I can't remember my lines, Marcie.
Copy !req
280. All you have to say is, "Baa."
Copy !req
281. My mind has gone blank.
Copy !req
282. I'll never remember it.
Copy !req
283. Why do they have to spoil Christmas
by making us be in plays?
Copy !req
284. We're on, sir. Let's show them how.
Copy !req
285. And there were shepherds in the fields
keeping watch over their flocks by night.
Copy !req
286. Woof! Meow! Moo!
Copy !req
287. Whatever.
Copy !req
288. And a partridge in a pear tree
Copy !req
289. So far, this has been a good Christmas play,
Charlie Brown.
Copy !req
290. When does your sister come on?
Copy !req
291. Right after the dancing sheep.
Copy !req
292. She steps out and says, "Hark."
Copy !req
293. And then Harold Angel sings.
Copy !req
294. Harold Angel?
Copy !req
295. All I know is what she told me.
Copy !req
296. The sheep are through dancing,
Charlie Brown. Here comes your sister.
Copy !req
297. Hockey stick.
Copy !req
298. - Hockey stick?
- Hockey stick?
Copy !req
299. I said hockey stick.
Copy !req
300. Why did I say hockey stick?
Copy !req
301. All I had to say was, "Hark,"
and I said hockey stick.
Copy !req
302. I ruined the whole Christmas play.
Everybody hates me.
Copy !req
303. Moses hates me, Luke hates me...
Copy !req
304. the apostles hate me.
Copy !req
305. All 50 of them.
Copy !req
306. I don't know.
I didn't see the rest of the play.
Copy !req
307. As soon as Sally said, "hockey stick"
and everyone laughed, I left.
Copy !req
308. She gets everything mixed up.
Copy !req
309. She even thought someone named
Harold Angel was going to sing.
Copy !req
310. Excuse me. Somebody's at the door.
Copy !req
311. Hi, is Sally home?
My name is Harold Angel.
Copy !req
312. Okay, get up.
I wanna lie in that beanbag.
Copy !req
313. Remember when we were all sitting around
the Christmas tree, opening our presents?
Copy !req
314. - That's when you said it.
- That's when I said what?
Copy !req
315. It was beautiful. You said:
Copy !req
316. "Why do we have to be nice
to each other only on Christmas?
Copy !req
317. Why can't we be nice
to each other every day?"
Copy !req
318. You drive me crazy.
Copy !req
319. Joy to the world.
Copy !req
