A Charlie Brown Christmas1965

Lucy Van Pelt:
Linus, you've got to get rid of that stupid blanket, and here, memorize these lines.

Linus Van Pelt:
I can't memorize these lines. This is ridiculous.

Lucy Van Pelt:
Memorize it and be ready to recite when your cue comes.

Linus Van Pelt:
I can't memorize something like this so quickly. Why should I be put through such agony? Give me one good reason why I should memorize this.

Lucy Van Pelt:
I'll give you five good reasons.

[proceeds to make a fist out of her fingers]

Lucy Van Pelt:
One, two, three, four, FIVE!

Linus Van Pelt:
[begins shaking his head emphatically] Those are good reasons. Christmas is not only getting too commercial, it's getting too dangerous.

Lucy Van Pelt:
And get rid of that stupid blanket! What's a Christmas shepherd gonna look like holding a stupid blanket like that?

Linus Van Pelt:
Well, this is one Christmas shepherd who's going to keep his trusty blanket with him.

[Lucy raises her fist to strike Linus; Linus puts his blanket over his head like a headdress]

Linus Van Pelt:
See? You wouldn't hurt an innocent shepherd, would you?
