1. Charlie Brown. Oh, Charlie Brown.Copy !req
2. I can't believe it.Copy !req
3. She must think
I'm the most stupid person alive.Copy !req
4. Come on, Charlie Brown.
I'll hold the ball and you kick it.Copy !req
5. Hold it? Ha!Copy !req
6. You'll pull it away and I'll land
flat on my back and kill myself.Copy !req
7. But Charlie Brown, it's Thanksgiving.Copy !req
8. What's that got to do with anything?Copy !req
9. One of the greatest traditions we have
is the Thanksgiving Day football game.Copy !req
10. And the biggest, most important
tradition of all...Copy !req
11. is the kicking off of the football.Copy !req
12. Is that right?Copy !req
13. Absolutely. Come on, Charlie Brown.
It's a big honor for you.Copy !req
14. Well, if it's that important, a person
should never turn down a big honor.Copy !req
15. Maybe I should do it.Copy !req
16. Besides, she wouldn't try to trick me
on a traditional holiday.Copy !req
17. This time I'm gonna kick that football
clear to the moon.Copy !req
18. Isn't it peculiar, Charlie Brown...Copy !req
19. how some traditions
just slowly fade away?Copy !req
20. What's the matter, big brother?Copy !req
21. Nothing. I was just checking
the mailbox.Copy !req
22. What did you expect? A turkey card?Copy !req
23. Holidays always depress me.Copy !req
24. I know what you mean.Copy !req
25. I went down to buy a turkey tree...Copy !req
26. and all they have
are things for Christmas.Copy !req
27. For Christmas? Already?Copy !req
28. Anyway, why should I give thanks
on Thanksgiving?Copy !req
29. What have I got to be thankful for?Copy !req
30. All it does is make more work for us
at school.Copy !req
31. Do you know what we have to do now?Copy !req
32. We have to write an essay
on Stanley Miles.Copy !req
33. You mean Miles Standish.Copy !req
34. I can't keep track of all those people.Copy !req
35. What's all the commotion?Copy !req
36. We've got another holiday
to worry about.Copy !req
37. It seems Thanksgiving Day is upon us.Copy !req
38. I haven't even finished eating
all my Halloween candy.Copy !req
39. Sally, Thanksgiving is
a very important holiday.Copy !req
40. Ours was the first country
in the world...Copy !req
41. to make a national holiday
to give thanks.Copy !req
42. Isn't he the cutest thing?Copy !req
43. What are you gonna do on Thanksgiving,
Charlie Brown?Copy !req
44. My mother and dad and Sally and I...Copy !req
45. are all going over to my grandmother's
for dinner.Copy !req
46. Why don't you come along, Linus?Copy !req
47. We could hold hands under the table.Copy !req
48. Hello?Copy !req
49. Hi, Chuck. This is Peppermint Patty.Copy !req
50. How you been, Chuck?Copy !req
51. - Okay, I guess.
- Do you kind of miss me, Chuck?Copy !req
52. - Well, I, uh...
- That's okay, Chuck.Copy !req
53. I know you probably can't talk,
because someone's listening.Copy !req
54. We'll keep these intimate things
to ourselves, okay, Chuck?Copy !req
55. Well, I, uh...Copy !req
56. Listen, I really have a treat for you.
My dad's been called out of town.Copy !req
57. He said I can go to your house
and share Thanksgiving with you, Chuck.Copy !req
58. Well, I, uh...Copy !req
59. I don't mind inviting myself over,
because I know you kind of like me, Chuck.Copy !req
60. Well, I, uh...Copy !req
61. Okay, that's a date.
See you soon, you sly devil.Copy !req
62. - Oh, brother.
- Now what?Copy !req
63. Peppermint Patty's coming
to Thanksgiving dinner.Copy !req
64. We won't even be home.Copy !req
65. - Hello?
- Hi, Chuck.Copy !req
66. Listen, I have even greater news.Copy !req
67. - Remember that great kid, Marcie?
- Sure.Copy !req
68. I just talked to her, and she kind
of would like to see you again.Copy !req
69. Her folks said it would be okay
if she joined us.Copy !req
70. So you can count on two
for dinner, Chuck.Copy !req
71. But I just don't know.Copy !req
72. This will be okay with your folks,
won't it, Chuck?Copy !req
73. Well, the problem is...Copy !req
74. Don't worry,
we won't make any problems.Copy !req
75. We'll help clean up the dishes
and everything.Copy !req
76. Just save me a drumstick and the neck,
okay, Chuck? See you, Chuck.Copy !req
77. How do I always get into these things?Copy !req
78. Now she's bringing Marcie too.Copy !req
79. It's your own fault
because you're so wishy-washy.Copy !req
80. Hello?Copy !req
81. Hey, guess who just walked in over here.
It's Franklin.Copy !req
82. I told him about the big turkey party
you're having...Copy !req
83. and he's sure
his folks will let him come.Copy !req
84. Hey, Chuck, this is gonna be
the biggest bash of the year. See you.Copy !req
85. I think I'm losing control
of the whole world.Copy !req
86. - Now what's wrong?
- Now she's bringing Franklin too.Copy !req
87. Peppermint Patty has invited herself,
Marcie and Franklin...Copy !req
88. over for Thanksgiving dinner...Copy !req
89. and I'm not even going to be home.
I'm going to be at my grandmother's.Copy !req
90. Why don't you just call her back
and explain it to her?Copy !req
91. You can't explain anything
to Peppermint Patty...Copy !req
92. because you never get to
say anything. I'm doomed.Copy !req
93. Three guests for Thanksgiving
and I'm not even going to be home.Copy !req
94. Peppermint Patty will hate me
for the rest of my life.Copy !req
95. What time are you going over
to your grandmother's, Charlie Brown?Copy !req
96. We're supposed to be there by 4:30.Copy !req
97. Okay, that makes it easy.
You simply have two dinners.Copy !req
98. You cook the first one yourself
for your friends...Copy !req
99. and then you go to your grandmother's
with your family for the second one.Copy !req
100. I can't cook a Thanksgiving dinner.Copy !req
101. All I can make is cold cereal
and maybe toast.Copy !req
102. That's right, I've seen you make toast.Copy !req
103. You can't butter it,
but maybe we could help you.Copy !req
104. Snoopy, you go out to the garage
and get a table...Copy !req
105. that we can set up in the back yard.Copy !req
106. We don't have any time to play, Snoopy.Copy !req
107. Please get some chairs around the table.Copy !req
108. What are we going to wear
to this big Thanksgiving party, sir?Copy !req
109. And what time do we go?Copy !req
110. Well, kid, I'm gonna go like this.Copy !req
111. Old Chuck is pretty cool about dates.
He always wears that striped shirt of his.Copy !req
112. I just talked to Charlie Brown.Copy !req
113. He said dinner will be
served a little earlier.Copy !req
114. Great, we're ready.Copy !req
115. Do you think I should wear a tie?Copy !req
116. No, you can come as you are, Franklin.
Old Chuck won't mind.Copy !req
117. Besides, he didn't say it was formal.Copy !req
118. Okay, Snoopy, that's pretty good.Copy !req
119. Come on inside.
We need some help with the food.Copy !req
120. What? Oh, hi, Snoopy. Come on in.Copy !req
121. Snoopy, how can you serve the food
in that ridiculous outfit?Copy !req
122. How about your chef's hat?Copy !req
123. Come on, Snoopy. We don't have
any time for this playing around.Copy !req
124. The guests will be here pretty soon,
so please get ready to help serve them.Copy !req
125. - Hi, Chuck.
- Hi, Peppermint Patty.Copy !req
126. - Hi, Franklin. Hi, Marcie.
- Hi, Chuck.Copy !req
127. Are we going to have a prayer?
It's Thanksgiving, you know.Copy !req
128. Before we're served,
shouldn't we say grace?Copy !req
129. In the year 1621, the Pilgrims held
their first Thanksgiving feast.Copy !req
130. They invited
the great Indian chief Massasoit...Copy !req
131. who brought 90 of his brave Indians
and a great abundance of food.Copy !req
132. Governor William Bradford
and Captain Miles Standish...Copy !req
133. were honored guests.Copy !req
134. Elder William Brewster,
who was a minister...Copy !req
135. said a prayer that went
something like this:Copy !req
136. "We thank God
for our homes and our food...Copy !req
137. and our safety in a new land.Copy !req
138. We thank God for the opportunity
to create a new world...Copy !req
139. for freedom and justice."Copy !req
140. Amen.Copy !req
141. What's this? A piece of toast?
A pretzel stick? Popcorn?Copy !req
142. What blockhead cooked all this?Copy !req
143. What kind of a Thanksgiving dinner
is this? Where's the turkey, Chuck?Copy !req
144. Don't you know anything
about Thanksgiving dinners?Copy !req
145. Where's the mashed potatoes?
Where's the cranberry sauce?Copy !req
146. Where's the pumpkin pie?Copy !req
147. You were kind of rough on
Charlie Brown, weren't you, sir?Copy !req
148. Rough? Look at this.Copy !req
149. Is this what you call
a Thanksgiving Day dinner?Copy !req
150. Did we come across town for this?Copy !req
151. We were supposed to be served
a real Thanksgiving dinner.Copy !req
152. Now, wait a minute, sir.Copy !req
153. Did he invite you here to dinner
or did you invite yourself and us too?Copy !req
154. Gee, I never thought of it like that.
Do you think I hurt old Chuck's feelings?Copy !req
155. I bet I hurt his feelings, huh?Copy !req
156. Golly, why can't I act right
outside of a baseball game?Copy !req
157. Marcie, maybe you can go to old Chuck
and patch things up for me.Copy !req
158. Maybe you can tell him how I really feel.Copy !req
159. Tell him that I didn't mean it
the way it sounded.Copy !req
160. Marcie, you can do it.Copy !req
161. Go see him
and tell him I really like him...Copy !req
162. and that the dinner is okay with me.Copy !req
163. Well, I don't know, but I'll try.Copy !req
164. I think maybe you should go to Chuck
and tell him yourself.Copy !req
165. No, Marcie, I'll just ruin everything.
You know I'm too brusque and rough.Copy !req
166. - You go and speak for me.
- Well, okay.Copy !req
167. This is not unlike
another famous Thanksgiving episode.Copy !req
168. Do you remember the story
of John Alden and Priscilla Mullins...Copy !req
169. and Captain Miles Standish?Copy !req
170. This isn't like that one at all.Copy !req
171. Don't feel bad, Chuck.Copy !req
172. Peppermint Patty didn't mean
all those things she said.Copy !req
173. Actually, she really likes you.Copy !req
174. I don't feel bad for myself.Copy !req
175. I just feel bad
because I ruined everyone's Thanksgiving.Copy !req
176. But Thanksgiving is more
than eating, Chuck.Copy !req
177. You heard what Linus was saying
out there.Copy !req
178. Those early pilgrims were thankful
for what had happened to them.Copy !req
179. And we should be thankful too.Copy !req
180. We should just be thankful
for being together.Copy !req
181. I think that's what they mean
by "Thanksgiving," Charlie Brown.Copy !req
182. - Psst. Come here.
- See you later, Charles.Copy !req
183. Charles?Copy !req
184. He's all yours, Priscilla.Copy !req
185. Priscilla?Copy !req
186. Priscilla?Copy !req
187. - Apologies accepted, Chuck old boy?
- Sure.Copy !req
188. There's enough problems
in the world already, Chuck...Copy !req
189. without these
stupid misunderstandings.Copy !req
190. Let's not play lovers' games, Chuck.Copy !req
191. I agree.Copy !req
192. You're holding my hand, Chuck.
You sly dog.Copy !req
193. Good grief, it's 4:00.Copy !req
194. We're supposed to be
at Grandmother's house...Copy !req
195. for Thanksgiving by 4:30.Copy !req
196. I better talk to her
and explain my dilemma.Copy !req
197. Hello? Grandma?Copy !req
198. This is Chuck. I mean, Charlie Brown.Copy !req
199. We're gonna be a little late.Copy !req
200. You see, I invited a few friends over
and they're still here.Copy !req
201. Well, it's just Linus
and a girl named Marcie...Copy !req
202. and a girl named Peppermint Patty...Copy !req
203. She's a great baseball player.
And a boy named Franklin.Copy !req
204. No, ma'am, they haven't eaten.Copy !req
205. As a matter of fact,
they've let me know that...Copy !req
206. in no uncertain terms.Copy !req
207. What? You mean it?
Hey, Peppermint Patty, great news.Copy !req
208. We're all invited to Charlie Brown's
grandmother's for Thanksgiving dinner.Copy !req
209. Isn't there an old song that goes:Copy !req
210. "Over the hills and through the woods
to Grandmother's house we go"?Copy !req
211. Sure, only this is the way it goes:Copy !req
212. Well, there's only one thing
wrong with that.Copy !req
213. What's that, Charlie Brown?Copy !req
214. My grandmother lives in a condominium.Copy !req
