Gini Holtzman: Peppermint Patty

Quotes 

• [Snoopy was supposed to be a watchdog and guard Peppermint Patty's house, but while doing so, he gets scared off. Outraged, Peppermint Patty phones Charlie Brown] 

  Patricia "Peppermint Patty" Reichardt : [dialing]  Some watchdog. He hears one sound, and he runs off into the night.

  [phone answers] 

  Patricia "Peppermint Patty" Reichardt : Hello, Chuck!

  Charlie Brown : [sleepy]  Who is this?

  Patricia "Peppermint Patty" Reichardt : This is Peppermint Patty. Now, where's my watchdog, Chuck? Snoopy is supposed to be guarding my house, and he just ran off! Where is he, Chuck? Where is he?

  [She does not get a response] 

  Patricia "Peppermint Patty" Reichardt : Chuck? *Chuck*?

  [still no response; Charlie Brown is sound asleep] 

  Patricia "Peppermint Patty" Reichardt : Chuck, wake UP!

  Charlie Brown : [startled awake]  Huh - what? Oh, sorry.

  Patricia "Peppermint Patty" Reichardt : Chuck, you better get over here right away. Snoopy was your responsibility. If he's ran out on me, you're gonna have to take his place. *YOU'RE* GONNA BE THE WATCHDOG, CHUCK! DO YOU HEAR ME?

  Charlie Brown : Woof.

• [last lines] 

  Lucy van Pelt : Charlie Brown, I've got some good news for you, and I've got some bad news. The good news is that we've prepared a great party.

  [short pause] 

  Lucy van Pelt : The bad news is that the bride-to-be has just run off with the golden retriever.

  [Snoopy faints in shock] 

  Charlie Brown : The wedding's off!

  Linus van Pelt : What about my sermon?

  Lucy van Pelt : What about my salad?

  Schroeder : Hey, what about my music?

  Marcie : What about my dinner?

  Patricia "Peppermint Patty" Reichardt : What about my *wedding* cake?

  Charlie Brown : What about my *dog*?

• Charlie Brown : [singing somewhat off-key]  One o'clock and all is well. / Actually, all is not well. / What am I doing out here at one o'clock in the morning? / I'm not a watchdog. / What am I doing here? / What happened to the real watchdog? / What is the purpose of life?

  Patricia "Peppermint Patty" Reichardt : [trying to sleep]  Knock it off, Chuck! I need my beauty sleep.

• Patricia "Peppermint Patty" Reichardt : [seeing Charlie Brown arrive at her doorstep, then stepping out and offering him a dog collar]  It sure took you a long time to get over here, Chuck. I could have been robbed 20 times by now. Anyway, since I don't know where Snoopy is, you'll have to be my watchdog.

  Charlie Brown : I'll be your watchdog, and I'll sit out here on your porch, but I won't wear *that*.

  Patricia "Peppermint Patty" Reichardt : Okay, Chuck, we'll forget the collar. Is there anything I can get you before I go to sleep?

  Charlie Brown : Well, I am a little hungry.

  Patricia "Peppermint Patty" Reichardt : I'll be right back, Chuck.
