• [Sally and Charlie Brown are selling Christmas wreaths door-to-door] 

  Sally Brown : [to customer]  Good morning, ask your mom if she would like to buy a Christmas wreath. Tell her they were made from the famous forests of Lebanon. You can read about him in the second chapter of the second book of "Chronicles". If you buy two, we'll throw in an autographed photo of King Solomon.

  Charlie Brown : [to Sally; as they walk to the next house]  You can't tell people these wreaths were made from the forests of Lebanon! That's lying!

  [the two arrive at the next house as Sally rings the doorbell] 

  Sally Brown : [rudely]  Good morning. Would you like to buy a Christmas wreath made from some junky old branches my brother found in a Christmas tree lot? You wouldn't, would you? I can't say I blame you.

  Sally Brown : [to Charlie Brown; after the customers slams the door]  See? Your way doesn't work either!

  [fade to Sally and Snoopy contemplating how to sell the wreaths] 

  Sally Brown : [to Snoopy]  I think we need better packaging: we need a better way to show off our product.

  [cut to Sally and Snoopy selling wreaths door-to-door; Snoopy is wearing the wreath on his nose] 

  Sally Brown : [to the customer]  Good morning, would you like to buy a Christmas wreath?

• Charlie Brown : Good morning, this is a Christmas wreath.

  Frieda : [snatches wreath away from Charlie Brown]  Thank you, I love samples.

• [as Charlie Brown is selling Christmas wreaths door-to-door] 

  Charlie Brown : [to an adult]  Good morning, sir. Would you like to buy a nice Christmas wreath?

  [the homeowner slams the door in Charlie Brown's face sending both him and the wreath flying backwards into the snow] 

  Charlie Brown : [after spitting out snow]  Merry Christmas anyway, sir. "God bless us, everyone," said Tiny Tim, the last of all, "and joy to the world!"

  Charlie Brown : [picks up the wreath and heads home]  Rats!

• Sally Brown : What was his name again?

  Charlie Brown : Santa Claus.

  Sally Brown : Any middle initial?

  Charlie Brown : No, I don't think so. At least I've never heard of one.

  Sally Brown : How about his wife? Do you know her name?

  Charlie Brown : Well, sometimes you hear people say her name is Mary Christmas.

  Sally Brown : Really? That's very interesting. Maybe I'll write to her instead.

  [starts writing a yuletide greetings] 

  Sally Brown : Dear Mary Christmas, Congratulations on deciding to keep your own name...
