Quotes
-
[first lines]
Snoopy : It's nice to know that there are some things in life that you can count on, like that leaf over there on that tree. I can go to sleep and I know when I wake up, that leaf will *still* be there.
-
Snoopy : Sit up, lie down, roll over, play dead? What I need is a change. My life has become a bore. Everything's the same, day in, day out. I need - a change.
-
Snoopy : A V.I.P. YES! Very important pup!
-
Snoopy : [reading his letter from the publishing company where he sent his story to] Dear Contributor: We are returning your stupid story. Give up! You are a terrible writer. Why do you bother us? We wouldn't use one of your stories if you paid us. Drop dead! Never send us another story! Get lost! Signed, the Editors.
[sighs]
Snoopy : It's just a Xerox form. But tomorrow, we start on a trilogy!
-
Charlie Brown : [reading a letter to Snoopy about his promotion to head beagle] Well, I'll be.
[hands the letter to Linus, who also reads it]
Linus van Pelt : Well, I'll be!
Charlie Brown : Who else do you know whose dog's just been promoted to head beagle?
Lucy van Pelt : Head beagle? That stupid dog can't be promoted to head beagle! He'll bring ruination upon the country! He'll destroy us all! He's inept, he's incompetent, he's...
Snoopy : Hmph! If you don't mind, the head beagle would like to be alone to prepare his acceptance speech!
[hops off his dog house and kicks it]
Charlie Brown : I recognize that kick. That's the kick of someone who'd like to be alone to prepare his acceptance speech.
Snoopy : I don't think that's an unreasonable request.
Charlie Brown : And considers that a reasonable request.
Lucy van Pelt : *Weird!*
[She, Linus, and Charlie Brown leave]
Snoopy : [proudly] Just think - head beagle! I wish I knew where Mom was. Beautiful moments are meant to be shared.
-
Snoopy : There are a lot of things that the round-headed kid and his friends do that I don't quite understand. I've noticed lately, that he and the one they call Peppermint Patty, spend a lot of time sitting under that tree over there. I wonder what they talk about?
-
Charlie Brown : It must be nice to be believed in.
Snoopy : It is.
Linus van Pelt : Wouldn't it be wonderful if everybody believed in everybody?
Charlie Brown : Beginning with me.
-
Snoopy : I spend a lot of my time lying here on the doghouse. That's because the round-headed kid and his friends spend a lot of their days in school. I often wonder what they do there all day.
-
Snoopy : [after Woodstock crashes into a wall, off screen] Either Woodstock is a lousy flyer, or his blood sugar is low.
-
Snoopy : [typing] I... T... IT! Sometimes we writers take hours finding exactly the right word.
-
Snoopy : Sometimes, when you're a great writer, the words come so fast you can hardly put them down on paper.
-
Snoopy : I, too, could've gone to school and become educated. I could've studied "The Odyssey", and "Lord Jim", and "Bleak House". But just because I'm a dog, they say I can't go to their stupid school. On the other hand, when they need a shortstop, then they don't seem to mind that I'm a dog. In fact, being a dog can sometimes be a distinct advantage.
-
Snoopy : [singing] I'm gonna be the Big Bow Wow. Wait'll they see the old dog now. Stealing the show, my mom wouldn't know her pup!
-
Snoopy : [singing as he types] It, it, it, it... it was a dark and stormy morning... oh...
[rips the paper out]
Snoopy : pat, flat, trite!
[puts in another sheet and tries again]
Snoopy : It was a dark and stormy evening...
[lightning flashes]
Snoopy : It was a dark and stormy night, night? Right! When suddenly a shot was heard... a shot was fired? When suddenly a shot rang out!
[gun shot]
Snoopy : Rang out? Inspired! A door slammed, the maid screamed...
[Woodstock screams]
Snoopy : That's building suspense... when suddenly, a pirate ship appears on the horizon!
[some water douses Woodstock]
Snoopy : Appears? Appeared... past tense! While millions of people were starving, while millions of people were starving, while millions of people were starving - what? The kiiiiiiing lived in luuuuuuuxury-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-yyyyyyy!
-
Snoopy : [singing as he types] A light snow was falling, and the little girl... small? No little, no small, no - ! The little girl, with a tattered shawl, had not sold a flower all day.
[speaking]
Snoopy : Should she be selling matches? No, flowers.
[singing]
Snoopy : A violet, let's say, she had not sold a vi-o-let all day!
-
Snoopy : [spoken] At the very moment, a young intern was making an important discovery. The mysterious patient in Room 23 had suddenly awakened. She moaned softly. Could it be?
[singing as he types, then spoken again]
Snoopy : That she was the sister of the boy in Kansas, who loved the girl with the tattered shawl, who was the daughter of the maid, who escaped from the pirates! The intern frowned. That has a good ring to it!
[we hear a dinging sound]
Snoopy : See how neatly it all fits together?
Charlie Brown : What about the king?
[Snoopy glares at him as Charlie Brown turns red]
-
Snoopy : [singing] Bigger than Rin Tin Tin and Lassie, Bigger than Benji, twice as classy. Let 'em eat steak, It's time that I take my booooooooow!
[spoken]
Snoopy : Yes sir!
[singing as he starts prancing offstage]
Snoopy : Sandy can throw in the towel. Snoopy, it's your night to hoooooooooowl. Now I'm the Biiiiiiig Bow Wow, Wow, Wow, Wow, Wow, Wooooooooow! Oh yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah!
