Franklin : I am Gabriel, Mary, and I couldn't hear you because of the sheep.

Peppermint Patty : Woof! Meow! Moo! Whatever.
[everyone in the audience laughs]
Peppermint Patty : And a partridge in a pear tree.
-
Peppermint Patty : [on the phone, to Marcie] Marcie, what book were we supposed to read during Thanksgiving vacation?
Marcie : This is Christmas vacation, sir.
Peppermint Patty : Christmas vacation? How can I read something during Christmas vacation, when I didn't read what I was supposed to read during Thanksgiving vacation?
Marcie : Duck, sir. Easter is coming.
-
Marcie : [Marcie and Peppermint Patty are walking to their school Christmas play] Watch out for the curb here, sir.
Peppermint Patty : What?
[she trips on the curb, in her sheep costume]
Marcie : Slouching towards Bethlehem, huh, sir?
Peppermint Patty : I can't stand it!
-
Peppermint Patty : Guess what, Chuck. Disaster time. Our teacher wants us to read a book during Christmas vacation. Got any suggestions?
Charlie Brown : On what book to read?
Peppermint Patty : No! On how to get out of it!
-
Marcie : Why aren't you reading your book, sir?
Peppermint Patty : It's too nice a day to stay inside and read, Marcie. Besides, I have to build this snowman. If I don't do it, no one else will, and he won't exist. I am his creator, and it is my duty to give him life! This snowman has a right to live, Marcie!
Marcie : You're weird, sir.
-
Peppermint Patty : I'm not going to have to read a book, Marcie. See? "A Tale of Two Cities" was just on TV. I watched the movie, so now I won't have to read the book. The only thing I didn't understand were the parts about the shampoo, the soap, and the coffee.
Marcie : Those were the commercials, sir.
-
Peppermint Patty : I'm going to ask the teacher if I could be Mary in the Christmas play this year.
Marcie : She's already asked me, sir.
Peppermint Patty : I think I'll be great in the part.
Marcie : She asked me yesterday.
Peppermint Patty : I like the part where the angel of Gabriel talks to me.
Marcie : Why would the angel Gabriel talk to you? You never listen.
Peppermint Patty : I could probably wear these same sandles.
Peppermint Patty : [raises her hand]
[Teacher mumbles]
Peppermint Patty : Yes, ma'am, I'd like to volunteer to play the part of Mary in our Chrismtas play.
[Teacher mumbles]
Peppermint Patty : YOU WHAT?
Marcie : [Teacher mumbles] That's right, sir. She asked me yesterday.
Peppermint Patty : Mary never wore glasses!
-
Peppermint Patty : Hey, Chuck, did Mary ever wear glasses?
[pause]
Peppermint Patty : What do you mean "Mary Who"? In the Bible! Does it say anything about Mary wearing glasses?
[pause]
Peppermint Patty : Then how come Marcie played Mary instead of me? And the teacher says I have to play a sheep!
Charlie Brown : Why can't I ever be a wrong number?
-
Marcie : I was up late last night memorizing all of my lines.
Peppermint Patty : All your lines?... I can't remember my lines, Marcie!
Marcie : You're a sheep, sir. All you have to say is "Baa".
Peppermint Patty : My mind is going blank! I'm doomed! I wonder if this ever happened to Laurence Olivier?
-
Peppermint Patty : I can't remember my lines, Marcie!
Marcie : All you have to say is "Baa".
Peppermint Patty : My mind is going blank! I'll never remember! Why do they have to spoil Christmas by making us be in plays?
Marcie : We're on, Sir. Let's show them how!
-
Peppermint Patty : I'd like to read this book, Marcie. But I'm kinda afraid. I had a grandfather who didn't think much of reading. He always said, "If you read too many books, your head would fall off!"
Marcie : You start the first chapter, Sir. I'll hold onto your head.
-
Peppermint Patty : What was Handel's first name, Marcie?
Marcie : I'm ashamed to admit, I don't know.
Peppermint Patty : I'll just have to guess.
