Snoopy Come Home (1972)

Christopher DeFaria: Peppermint Patty

Quotes 

• Patricia "Peppermint Patty" Reichardt : What do you think love is, Chuck?

  Charlie Brown : Well, years ago, my dad owned a black 1934 two-door sedan.

  Patricia "Peppermint Patty" Reichardt : What's that got to do with love?

  Charlie Brown : Well, this is what he told me: there was this really cute girl, see? She used to go for rides with him in his car. And whenever he'd call for her, he would always hold open the car door for her. After she got in and he had closed the door, he'd walk around the back of the car to the driver's side, but before he could get there, she would reach over and press the button, locking him out. Then she'd just sit there and wrinkle her nose and grin at him. That's what I think love is.

  Patricia "Peppermint Patty" Reichardt : [perplexed]  Sometimes I wonder about you, Chuck.

• Patricia "Peppermint Patty" Reichardt : [to an unhappy Charlie Brown]  Listen, you can't let yourself get into a mood like this. I know you miss Snoopy. I miss him, too. But if you let yourself get into a mood, no one will want to be around you. No one likes a moody person, Chuck. Take it from me: I learned a long time ago that if you go around in a mood feeling sorry for yourself, you do it alone. And I mean *alone*, Chuck.

• Patricia "Peppermint Patty" Reichardt : Does your kind ever think about love, Chuck?

  Charlie Brown : What do you mean, *my* kind?

  Patricia "Peppermint Patty" Reichardt : I'm sorry, I didn't mean to put it that way. No offense. I apologize.

  [She holds out her hand] 

  Patricia "Peppermint Patty" Reichardt : Friends?

  [They shake hands] 

  Patricia "Peppermint Patty" Reichardt : [swooningly]  You touched my hand, Chuck.

• Patricia "Peppermint Patty" Reichardt : You've got to agree, he's gone 'cause of me. May... Maybe I came on too strong for him.

• Patricia "Peppermint Patty" Reichardt : [to Charlie Brown]  I don't know. I've seen people get sick on merry-go-rounds and Ferris wheels and roller coasters, but you're the first person I've ever seen get sick going through the turnstile.

• Patricia "Peppermint Patty" Reichardt : Hey, look here! A fortune telling machine! Let's get our fortune told, Chuck! Maybe we can find out something about ourselves.

  [Patty puts a nickel in the machine and reads her fortune] 

  Patricia "Peppermint Patty" Reichardt : "You are a very loving person and your life will be filled with romance."

  [Charlie Brown puts a nickel in the machine and gets out his fortune] 

  Charlie Brown : [reading]  "Forget it, kid!"

• [Peppermint Patty and Snoopy are at the beach, basking in the sun] 

  Patricia "Peppermint Patty" Reichardt : It's nice to lie in the sun and just do nothing. Of course, it's better if you're with someone you like. You kinda like me, don't you, Snoopy?

  [They then get up] 

  Patricia "Peppermint Patty" Reichardt : Why don't we meet here again tomorrow? If you come, I'll bring a picnic lunch. We'll have sandwiches and cookies and lemonade and potato chips and everything, okay?

  [Snoopy nods] 

  Patricia "Peppermint Patty" Reichardt : And we'll build another sand castle. Only this time, we'll build an even bigger one. We'll have a great time. Will you come?

  [Snoopy nods] 

  Patricia "Peppermint Patty" Reichardt : Good. I'll see you tomorrow.

• Patricia "Peppermint Patty" Reichardt : [to Snoopy]  You know kid, you and I make a great pair.

• Patricia "Peppermint Patty" Reichardt : I love this kind of life. I like action. I'm a moving-type person. When nothing is moving, I feel low. That's why I always keep moving.

• Patricia "Peppermint Patty" Reichardt : Hi ya, Chuck. Any news from old Snoop?
