Transcript:

Charlie Brown stands with his back to Lucy, who kneels on the ground, twisting him in ropes attached to a large balloon.<br> <br> Lucy explains, "The reason I can guarantee this parachute, CHarlie Brown, is that I made it myself.." Charlie Brown turns around to look at her. He is bound up in ropes.<br> <br> "This is a good heavy blanket, and these are very stout ropes.." Lucy declares. She holds one foot against Charlie Brown's back as she tightens the ropes. "Put my cap on for me, will you?" he asks.<br> <br> Charlie Brown stands on a tree stump. Lucy stands behind him and opens her arms. She exclaims, "There..now, all you have to do is jumps off that stump and float gently to the ground.."<br> <br> Lucy stands behind him in profile. She thinks, "Just what I was afraid of..he's getting cold feet..."<br> <br> "GERONIMO!" Lucy shouts, as she pushes Charlie Brown off the tree stump. He lands flat on his face with a WUMP!<br> <br> "Mmgbmm mgmmbm mmgmm" Charlie Brown mumbles in to his cap. Lucy leans over him.<br> <br> Lucy walks away, deciding, "I think I'd better go home, an' see what's on T.V."<br> <br>
