Transcript:
Peppermint Patty stands on the ground with her ahnds on her hips. She says, "Nope!"<BR><BR> Charlie Brown is seated on the ground. Peppermint Patty raises her arms. She says, "I'd like to have you on my team, Chuck, but I just don't think you're good enough..."<BR><BR> She looks straight ahead: "In fact I don't see anyone around here who could come up to my standard!"<BR><BR> Charlie Brown stands. They both look off in the same direction. Charlie Brown points: "How about my linebacker over there? He's pretty good." Peppermint Patty says, "Him?"<BR><BR> SHe frowns: "Okay, let's try him out.."<BR><BR> "HERE I COME, FELLA! STOP ME IF YOU CAN!!" She races with the ball.<BR><BR> "FREIGHT TRAIN!!" She calls as she runs at Snoopy. He wears a helmit and whistles.<BR><BR> CRUNCH! RIB-SHAKING FLESH-TEARING TEETH RATTLING SOUND OF GLASS BREAKING BONE-BREAKING EAR-SPLITTING EARTH SHATTERING SMASH! These words appear on the panel as Peppermint Patty loses the ball, flies in in the air and loses her sandals. Her hand stands up.<BR><BR> She is thrilled: "Good shot, kid! How would you like to play for a decent team?" Peppermint Patty walks with Snoopy, who thinks, "Keep talking, sweetie.." Charlie Brown sighs.<BR><BR>
You know, it just occurred to me that it would be a truly frightening spectacle to see Peppermint Patty and Lucy fight each other.
