• Charlie Brown : Look, let's rehearse the scene at the inn. Frieda...

  Frieda : I can't go on, there's too much dust. It's taking the curl out of my naturally curly hair.

  Charlie Brown : Don't think of it as dust. Think of it as maybe the soil of some great past civilization. Maybe the soil of ancient Babylon. It staggers the imagination. He may be carrying soil that was trod upon by Solomon, or even Nebuchudnezzar.

  Pig-Pen : Sort of makes you want to treat me with more respect, doesn't it?

  Frieda : You're an absolute mess. Just look at yourself.

  Pig-Pen : [looks at himself in Frieda's mirror and smiles]  On the contrary, I didn't think I looked THAT good.

• [Charlie Brown and Linus return with the puny little tree] 

  Violet : Boy, are you stupid, Charlie Brown.

  Patty : What kind of a tree is that?

  Lucy Van Pelt : You were supposed to get a *good* tree. Can't you even tell a good tree from a poor tree?

  Violet : I told you he'd goof it up. He's not the kind you can depend on to do anything right.

  Patty : You're hopeless, Charlie Brown.

  Frieda : Completely hopeless

  Charlie Brown : [upset]  Rats!

  Lucy Van Pelt : You've been dumb before, Charlie Brown, but this time, you really did it.

  [pause; then everyone bursts out laughing] 

  Lucy Van Pelt : [laughing]  What a tree!

• Lucy Van Pelt : You're the innkeeper's wife.

  Frieda : Do innkeeper's wives have naturally curly hair?
