A Charlie Brown Christmas quotes

  • 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?

  • Patty: Try to catch snowflakes on your tongue. It's fun.

    Linus Van Pelt: Mmm. Needs sugar.

    Lucy Van Pelt: It's too early. I never eat December snowflakes. I always wait until January.

    Linus Van Pelt: They sure look ripe to me.
