Transcript:
Charlie Brown praises a very dirty Pig-Pen: "I think everyone admires your independent spirit, 'Pig-Pen'.."<br> <br>"You have remained dirty when everyone else was clean!" "Oh, I've been independent all right.." Pig-Pen agrees, turning to face Charlie Brown.<br> <br> He looks out and adds, "But lately it's been difficult..times change...We all grow a little older each day...."<br> <br> Pig-Pen grasps Charlie Brown by the collar and says, "I'll tell you frankly, Charie Brown...I'm scared!"<br> <br>
Maybe he can grow up to be a coal miner.
