A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving (1973 TV Short)

Jimmy Ahrens: Marcie

Quotes 

• Marcie : Don't feel bad, Chuck. Peppermint Patty didn't mean all those things she said. Actually, she really likes you.

  Charlie Brown : I don't feel bad for myself; I just feel bad because I ruined everyone's Thanksgiving.

  Marcie : But Thanksgiving is more than eating, Chuck. You heard what Linus was saying out there. Those early Pilgrims were thankful for what had happened to them, and we should be thankful, too. We should just be thankful for being together. I think that's what they mean by 'Thanksgiving,' Charlie Brown.

• Marcie : You were kind of rough on Charlie Brown, weren't you, sir?

  Patricia 'Peppermint Patty' Reichardt : Rough? Look at this! Is this what you call a Thanksgiving day dinner? Did we come across town for this? We're supposed to be served a real Thanksgiving dinner!

  Marcie : Now wait a minute, sir. Did he invite you here to dinner, or did you invite yourself, and us, too?

  Patricia 'Peppermint Patty' Reichardt : Gee, I never thought of it like that. You think I hurt ole Chuck's feelings? I bet I hurt his feelings, huh? Golly, why can't I act right outside of a baseball game?

  [short pause] 

  Patricia 'Peppermint Patty' Reichardt : Marcie, maybe you could go to ole Chuck and patch things up for me. Maybe you can tell him how I really feel. Tell him I didn't mean it the way it sounded. Marcie, you can do it. You go and see him and tell him I really like it and I think the dinner's okay with me.

  Marcie : Well, I don't know, but I'll try. I think maybe you should go to Chuck and tell him yourself.

  Patricia 'Peppermint Patty' Reichardt : No, Marcie, I'll just ruin everything. You know I'm too brusque and rough. You go and speak for me.

  Marcie : Well, okay.

• Marcie : He's all yours, Priscilla.

  Patricia 'Peppermint Patty' Reichardt : Priscilla?

  Charlie Brown : Priscilla?

• Marcie : What are we going to wear to this big Thanksgiving party, sir? What time do we go?

  Patricia 'Peppermint Patty' Reichardt : Well kid, I'm gonna go like this. Ole Chuck is pretty cool about dates. He always wears that striped shirt of his.

  Franklin : I just talked to Charlie Brown. He said dinner would be served a little earlier.

  Patricia 'Peppermint Patty' Reichardt : Great, we're ready.

  Franklin : You think I should wear a tie?

  Patricia 'Peppermint Patty' Reichardt : No, you can go as you are, Franklin. I don't think Chuck'll mind. Besides, he didn't say it was formal.
