• It’s the Night of the Great Pumpkin!

  

  Charlie Brown: Hey! I got an invitation to a Halloween party!
  Lucy Van Pelt: Is the invitation to Violet’s party?
  Charlie Brown: Yes. It’s the first time I’ve been invited to a party.
  Lucy Van Pelt: Charlie Brown, if you got an invitation, it was a mistake. There were two lists, Charlie Brown: one to invite, and one not to invite. You must have been put on the wrong list.

  

  Sally Brown: Can I go to trick-or-treats with you, big brother?
  Charlie Brown: Sure, Sally.
  Sally Brown: Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! How do you do it?
  Lucy Van Pelt: All you have to do is walk up to a house, knock on the door and yell “Tricks or treats!”
  Sally Brown: Are you sure it’s legal?
  Lucy Van Pelt: Of course it’s legal.
  Sally Brown: I wouldn’t want to be accused of taking part in a rumble.

  

  Charlie Brown: I got a rock.
  
  

  

  Pigpen: [wearing a ghost costume, trailing dust] They’ll never guess it’s me under here.
  Frieda: Hello, Pigpen. Glad you could make it.
  Pigpen: How did you know it was me?

  

  Lucy Van Pelt: Bleach! My lips touched dog lips! Bleagh! Poison lips! Bleagh!

  

  Linus: He’ll come here because I have the most sincere pumpkin patch and he respects sincerity.
  Sally Brown: Do you really think he will come?
  Linus: Tonight the Great Pumpkin will rise out of the pumpkin patch. He flies through the air and brings toys to all the children of the world.
  Sally Brown: That’s a good story.
  Linus: You don’t believe the story of the Great Pumpkin? I thought little girls always believed everything that was told to them. I thought little girls were innocent and trusting.
  Sally Brown: Welcome to the 20th century!

  

  Linus: There he is! There he is! It’s the Great Pumpkin! He’s rising out of the pumpkin patch!
  [Linus faints and the "Pumpkin" is really Snoopy, meanwhile Sally is seething]
  Linus: What happened? Did I faint? What did he leave us? Did he leave us any toy

  

  Sally Brown: I could have gone to tricks-or-treats! Halloween is over and I missed it! Instead, I spend the night on a pumpkin patch and all that came was a beagle! You blockhead! I could have had apples and gum, and cookies and money and other things! I’ll sue! Trick-or-treats only come once a year, and instead I spent all night sitting in a pumpkin patch! What a fool I was! You owe me restitution!
  

  

  Linus: [to Charlie Brown after Sally just ripped him a new one] You’ve heard of the fury of a woman scorned, haven’t you?
  Charlie Brown: Yeah, I guess I have.
  Linus: Well, that’s nothing compared to the fury of a woman who has been cheated out of trick-or-treats.
  
  Have a great Halloween xanga-kids!

  ps: Thank you Mr. Charles Shultz
