Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Lucy van Pelt : [holding football]  Charlie Brown! Oh, Charlie Brown!

  Charlie Brown : I can't believe it. She must think I'm the most stupid person alive.

  Lucy van Pelt : Come on, Charlie Brown. I'll hold the ball and you kick it.

  Charlie Brown : Hold it? Ha! You'll pull it away and I'll land flat on my back and kill myself.

  Lucy van Pelt : But Charlie Brown, it's Thanksgiving.

  Charlie Brown : What's that got to do with anything?

  Lucy van Pelt : Well, one of the greatest traditions we have is the Thanksgiving Day football game. And the biggest, most important tradition of all is the kicking off of the football.

  Charlie Brown : Is that right?

  Lucy van Pelt : Absolutely. Come on, Charlie Brown. It's a big honor for you.

  Charlie Brown : Well, if it's that important, a person should never turn down a big honor. Maybe I *should* do it. Besides, she wouldn't try to trick me on a traditional holiday. This time I'm gonna kick that football clear to the moon!

  [he runs to kick the ball, but Lucy pulls it away] 

  Charlie Brown : Aaauuugh!

  [falls flat on his back] 

  Lucy van Pelt : Isn't it peculiar, Charlie Brown, how some traditions just slowly fade away?
