Dialogue

Peppermint Patty: Now look, kid: these eggs are not to be fried. Nor are they to be roasted, toasted, or waffled.

Marcie: Yes, sir.

Peppermint Patty: These eggs got to be boiled. You boil them, then I'll show you how to paint them.

Marcie: Yes, sir. I'll boil them, sir. Then you'll paint them.

Peppermint Patty: [whistles] When the water comes to a boil, let me know. Put the eggs in now.

Marcie: Okay, sir. In they go. (cracks eggs into a pot) Okay, sir. All the eggs are in.

Peppermint: Good, Marcie. Let 'em boil a good long time and then I'll show you how to paint 'em.

[The water boils]

Marcie: They look done, sir. Wanna look at 'em?

Peppermint Patty: Okay, Marcie, let me look. That's funny. [sniffs] It smells like soup. [looks at the eggs that boil] Oh! [turns red with anger] MARCIE! You made egg soup!? AAUGH!!

Linus van Pelt: Every Easter the Easter Beagle comes dancing along with his basket full of eggs, which he hands out to all the good little children.

Sally Brown: That sounds faintly familiar. I remember sitting out in a stupid pumpkin patch all night waiting for The Great Pumpkin to come. And you know something ? He never came! That was the worst night of my life.

Linus van Pelt: But this is different. That was Halloween. This is Easter.
