Transcript:
Charlie Brown sits on a doorstep with a box in his hands. "We've all put on our best clothes for this picture, Charlie Brown." Patty says. "Good...we want everything to be perfect.." Charlie Brown responds. Schroeder stands to one side and whistles. Lucy and Snoopy stand with Patty.<BR><BR> "I see Schroeder's even wearing a suit..." Charlie Brown notes. "Uh-huh, and Snoopy's got on his Sunday collar." Patty adds as they all head down the street.<BR><BR> The four pose as Charlie Brown adjusts the camera. "The sun's in my eyes!" Lucy complains. "Shh!" Patty hushes her. Charlie Brown instructs them: "Look pleasant, everybody...Smile! One, two...."<BR><BR> "No, wait a minute...Lucy, you'd better move up front...I can't see you back there..." Schroeder, Patty and Snoopy shuffle to one side as Lucy moves in front of Charlie Brown.<BR><BR> "Patty, straighten Schroeder's tie for him...We don't want anything to spoil this picture..." Patty obeys Charlie Brown's command as Lucy and Snoopy sit down under a tree.<BR><BR> They resume the pose. "O.K....Shoot!" Patty declares. "The sun is still in my eyes!" Lucy complains. Snoopy turns to her: "Ssh!" "Smile, everybody. smile! This is it! One, two, three..."<BR><BR> BOING! "? ? ? ?" They are all startled as a jack-in-the-box pops out of Charlie Brown's 'camera.'<BR><BR> "Oh, it's risky, but it keeps me young!" Charlie Brown announces cheerfully as he races off, with the angry duped kids chasing after him.<BR><BR>
