It's Magic, Charlie Brown (1981 TV Short)

Sydney Penny: Lucy van Pelt

Quotes 

• Lucy van Pelt : [after Charlie Brown finally reappears from his invisibility and Lucy pulls the ball away from him again; last lines]  Welcome home, Charlie Brown.

  Charlie Brown : I did it; I finally kicked that football!

  Lucy van Pelt : Oh no, you didn't! I just pulled it away!

  Charlie Brown : I did it when I was invisible. I did it!

  Lucy van Pelt : [as Charlie sits up]  You can't prove it, Charlie Brown. No one will believe you.

  Charlie Brown : [as Snoopy comes over to them]  Snoopy knows I did it. He made it possible.

  Lucy van Pelt : [angrily]  Why, that stupid dog of yours couldn't disappear himself out of a paper bag!

  [Snoopy growls at her for that, then starts zapping her with a levitation spell] 

  Lucy van Pelt : Hey, what are you doing?

  [She starts rising in the air] 

  Lucy van Pelt : Put me down, put me down!

  [She keeps rising until she is about 10 feet in the air, then stops] 

  Lucy van Pelt : Hey, hey! You can't leave me up here! Hey!

  [Snoopy and Charlie Brown start laughing and dancing around] 

  Lucy van Pelt : Hey, what about me?

  [They both run off, still dancing and laughing. Calling after them] 

  Lucy van Pelt : Hey! Hey, what about me?

• Lucy van Pelt : Linus, have you seen Charlie Brown?

  Linus van Pelt : Nobody has seen him since Snoopy's magic show. I just talked to Sally, and she said even when you look at him, you don't see him.

  Lucy van Pelt : What's *that* supposed to mean? That's the dumbest thing I ever heard.

• Lucy van Pelt : If that Charlie Brown is still sneaking around invisible, I'll have to be careful.

  [glares] 

  Lucy van Pelt : I'm *not* going to tee up the ball.

  [quick pan to the invisible Charlie Brown, panting next to a tree, then back to Lucy, tossing the football] 

  Lucy van Pelt : But if he *is* visible, I'd hate to deprive him of the opportunity to attempt one of his famous place kicks. I think maybe I'll practice a few tees.

  [places the football] 

  Lucy van Pelt : There, that's about right.

• Lucy van Pelt : All right, beagle, here's your magic book. You made Charlie Brown disappear. You'd better make him reappear. Now you start figuring out how to make him visible again, or I'll pound you!

• Marcie : And now for the best trick of all: the Great Houndini will now perform the great disappearing act. This calls for another volunteer from the audience.

  Lucy van Pelt : [Still woozy from falling out of the air onto her back during the previous trick]  Boy, I volunteered once.

  [Turns to him, sitting next to her] 

  Lucy van Pelt : Maybe you should go this time, Charlie Brown.

  Charlie Brown : [Speaking basically to Lucy]  *Me*?

  Marcie : Yes. The gentleman who just said 'me', please come forward.

  Charlie Brown : [to Marcie this time]  Me?

  Marcie : Yes, yes. The gentleman with the large round head, please come right up.

• Marcie : Quiet, quiet, while the Great Houndini readies himself.

  Lucy van Pelt : [to Charlie Brown]  I wonder what this trick is going to be?

  Marcie : We would like another volunteer for the great levitation trick.

  Charlie Brown : [astonished]  *Woooow*!

  Marcie : Before your very eyes, the Great Houndini will raise the person into the air.

  Lucy van Pelt : [raising her hand]  Boy, I'd like to try that!

  Marcie : Great! We have a volunteer! Please come up, madam!

  [Lucy comes onstage, then Marcie gestures to a waiting table] 

  Marcie : Just lie here on that table.
