"So there, too!!" Violet shouts to Linus, who stands in front of her. They are at a playground.(BR BR) "NYAHH!!" She sticks her tongue out at him.(BR BR) 'NYAHH NYAHH NYAHH NYAH!" Violet continues.(BR BR) "If you say that to me once more, I'm gonna slug you!" Linus lifts his arm threateningly. Violet smiles smugly.(BR BR) She turns to him and tauints: "You can't slug me, Linus, because I'm a girl! NYAHH!!"(BR BR) Linus watches as she walks away.(BR BR) "Well, by golly I can sure throw a rock at you! Where's a rock? Just let me find a good rock.." Linus searches the ground for a weapon.(BR BR) "Hold on there! You can't throw a rock at a girl! Are you crazy or something?" Charlie Brown runs up to stop him just as Linus is about to throw the rock.(BR BR) "How about a tennis ball? Where's a tennis ball? I'll hit her with a tennis ball! That'll just STING a little.." Linus schemes.(BR BR) "No, you can't hit her with a tennis ball, either!" Charlie Brown remonstrates. "How about a ping pong ball?" (BR BR) "No! you can't hit a girl with ANYTHING! You can't even think about hitting a girl! THINKING about it is just as bad as DOING it!" Charlie Brown shouts after Linus. (BR BR) They look at each other."Can I say 'Nyahh' back at her?" Linus pleads. "No, you can't do that, either!" (BR BR)Linus stares at the ground. (BR BR) "How would it be if I slug YOU?" Linus raises his fist towards Charlie Brown, who shrinks back.(BR BR)
