Quotes 

  • [repeated line] 

    Charlie Brown : I got a rock.

  • Charlie Brown : Who are you writing to, Linus?

    Linus : This is the time of year to write to the Great Pumpkin. On Halloween night, the Great Pumpkin rises out of his pumpkin patch and flies through the air with his bag of toys for all the children!

    Charlie Brown : You must be crazy. When are you going to stop believing in something that isn't true?

    Linus : When *you* stop believing in that fellow with a red suit and the white beard who goes, "Ho, ho, ho!"

    Charlie Brown : We're obviously separated by denominational differences.

  • Sally Brown : Do I get to go trick-or-treating with you, big brother?

    Charlie Brown : Sure, Sally.

    Sally Brown : Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! How do we do it?

    Lucy Van Pelt : All you have to do is walk up to a house, ring the doorbell, and say "tricks or treats."

    Sally Brown : Are you sure it's legal?

    Lucy Van Pelt : Of course it's legal.

    Sally Brown : I wouldn't want to be accused of taking part in a rumble.

  • Linus : [to Charlie Brown after Sally just ripped him a new one]  You've heard of the fury of a woman scorned, haven't you?

    Charlie Brown : Yeah, I guess I have.

    Linus : Well, that's nothing compared to the fury of a woman who has been cheated out of trick-or-treats.

  • Charlie Brown : Hey! I got an invitation to a Halloween party!

    [dances happily] 

    Lucy Van Pelt : Is the invitation to Violet's party, Charlie Brown?

    Charlie Brown : Yes. It's the first time I've been invited to a party.

    [starts dancing again, but briefly] 

    Lucy Van Pelt : Charlie Brown, if you got an invitation, it was a mistake. There were two lists, Charlie Brown: one to invite, and one not to invite. You must have been put on the wrong list.

  • [last lines] 

    Charlie Brown : Well, another Halloween has come and gone.

    Linus : Yes, Charlie Brown.

    Charlie Brown : I don't understand it. I went trick-or-treating and all I got was a bag full of rocks. I suppose you spent all night in the pumpkin patch.

    [Linus nods] 

    Charlie Brown : And the Great Pumpkin never showed up?

    Linus : Nope.

    Charlie Brown : [CUTTING-ROOM FLOOR-LINE]  Do you want one of my rocks?

    Linus : [CUTTING-ROOM FLOOR-LINE]  No thanks, Charlie Brown.

    Charlie Brown : Well, don't take it too hard, Linus. I've done a lot of stupid things in my life, too.

    Linus : [furious]  STUPID? What do you mean "stupid"? Just wait till next year, Charlie Brown. You'll see! Next year at this same time, I'll find a pumpkin patch that is *real* sincere and I'll sit in that pumpkin patch until the Great Pumpkin appears. He'll rise out of that pumpkin patch and he'll fly through the air with his bag of toys. The Great Pumpkin will appear and I'll be waiting for him! I'll be there! I'll be sitting there in that pumpkin patch... and I'll see the Great Pumpkin. Just wait and see, Charlie Brown. I'll see that Great Pumpkin. I'll SEE the Great Pumpkin! Just you wait, Charlie Brown. The Great Pumpkin will appear, and I'll be waiting for him...

    [the screen fades out and the show ends in the most recent versions. However in the original airing, Linus continues shouting as the Dolly Madison Cakes and the Coca-Cola sponsor credits appear] 

    Linus : ... I'll be there! I'll be sitting there in that pumpkin patch... and I'll see the Great Pumpkin. Just wait and see...!

  • Violet : By the way, whatever happened to the World War I flying ace?

    [Charlie Brown visualizes what happened: Snoopy, in flying ace gear, climbs atop his doghouse like a plane] 

    Charlie Brown : Oh, he's probably getting ready to take off in the Sopwith Camel on the next dawn patrol. His mission is, to find the Red Baron and shoot him down. Here's the World War I flying ace climbing into the cockpit of the Sopwith Camel.

    [Snoopy moves his mouth as if to speak] 

    Charlie Brown : "Contact!" he shouts.

    [Snoopy starts up his doghouse-plane and takes off after the Red Baron] 

  • Charlie Brown : You just want me to come running up to kick that ball, so you can pull it away and see me fall flat on my back and kill myself.

    Lucy Van Pelt : This time you can trust me. See? I have a signed document testifying that I promise not to pull it away.

    Charlie Brown : It *is* signed. It's a signed document. I guess if you have a signed document in your possession, you can't go wrong. This year I'm really going to kick that football.

    [Charlie Brown runs to kick football, but Lucy pulls it away] 

    Charlie Brown : Aauugh!

    [falls on his back] 

    Lucy Van Pelt : Peculiar thing about this document: it was never notarized.

  • Violet : Charlie Brown, you'll have to model for us.

    Charlie Brown : Me? You want me to model?

    Patty : Sure, Charlie Brown. You'll be the perfect model.

    Lucy Van Pelt : Turn him around.

    Violet : [Drawing on the back of Charlie Brown's head]  If we shape the eyes like this, and the nose like this, and the mouth like this...

    Lucy Van Pelt : [Drawing the same thing on a pumpkin]  Yes, that's the way! Thank you, Charlie Brown. You were a perfect model.

    [Charlie Brown turns red in anger] 

  • Charlie Brown : [after Snoopy blows a lone leaf into a pile of leaves that Charlie Brown has raked]  Thanks, old pal.

  • Lucy Van Pelt : [seeing Snoopy enter wearing a flying ace costume]  What in the world kind of costume is that?

    Charlie Brown : He's a World War I flying ace.

    Lucy Van Pelt : Now I've seen everything. All right everybody, we'll go trick-or-treating, and then over to Violet's for the big Halloween party.

    [all cheer as they start heading for Linus in the pumpkin patch] 

  • [Snoopy as the World War I flying ace has been shot down and crash-lands behind enemy lines. He is now trying to make his way across the lines] 

    Charlie Brown : [narrating; voiceover]  Here's the World War I flying ace imagining he's down behind enemy lines, making his way across the French countryside.

  • Linus : [explaining Sally about the Great Pumpkin]  On Halloween night, the Great Pumpkin rises from his pumpkin patch and flies through the air to bring toys to all the good little children everywhere. Would you like to sit with me in the pumpkin patch on Halloween night and wait for the Great Pumpkin?

    Sally Brown : [beaming]  Oh, I'd love to, Linus!

    Charlie Brown : What's going on here? What are you trying to do to my little sister?
