Act I -- pg 2

SONG: SCHROEDER

LUCY:
D'YA KNOW SOMETHING SCHROEDER?
I THINK THEY WAY YOU PLAY THE PIANO IS NICE.
D'YA KNOW SOMETHING ELSE?
IT'S ALWAYS BEEN MY DREAM,
THAT I'D MARRY A MAN WHO PLAYS THE PIANO.

AT PARTIES HE PLAYS SOMETHING NICE
LIKE APRIL SHOWERS.
I'M SURE YOU COULD PLAY SOMETHING NICE
LIKE APRIL SHOWERS.
OR EVEN FRERE JACQUES
BEETHOVEN'S NICE TOO.

JUST IMAGINE...
WHAT WOULD YOU THINK IF SOMEDAY YOU AND I SHOULD GET MARRIED?
WOULDN'T YOU LIKE THAT IF SOME DAY WE TWO SHOULD GET MARRIED.

(Schroeder ducks under his piano.)

LUCY:
My Aunt Marian was right. Never try to discuss marriage with a musician.


LINUS:
Happiness is a fleeting thing, Sally, but I think that a man can come closer to it by directing the forces of his life to a single goal that he believes in. And I think that a man's personal search for happiness is not really a selfish thing, either, because by achieving happiness himself, he can help others to find it. Does that make sense to you?

SALLY:
We had spaghetti at our house three times this week. 


LUCY:
You know a princess sort of thing... a white dress and nice slippers, oh, and a big ballroom.

CHARLIE BROWN:
Uh-huh.

LUCY:
But, I guess that's kind of silly isn't it Charlie Brown?

CHARLIE BROWN:
Oh no, not at all. I mean, well, we all have our little daydreams or ambitions or whatever you want to call them. I mean there's one I've had myself for years only I've never told anyone.

LUCY:
What? You can tell me.

CHARLIE BROWN:
Oh no, it's not the sort of thing I should tell. No, I don't think I should.

LUCY:
Oh, come on please. I wouldn't give it away. Come on, PLEASE.

CHARLIE BROWN:
Well, I've always wanted to be called Flash. I hate the name Charlie. I'd like to be real athletic so that everybody would call me Flash. I like to be so good at everything that all around school I'd be known as Flash.

LUCY:
(yells) Hey, Fredia. Listen to this one! (She runs off laughing.)


CHARLIE BROWN:
What's the matter Sally?

SALLY:
I don't know. I was jumping rope... everything was fine. Then suddenly it all seemed so futile. 


SCHROEDER:
Beethoven used to be fond of taking long walks in the country. He was always inspired by the beautiful sounds of the country side.

LINUS:
(He Screams) AAAAAGGGGGGHHHH

LUCY:
Gimme back my ball you blockhead!

SCHROEDER:
Beethoven had it nice. 


LINUS:
I think I'm losing my flavor.
