Okay, Snoopy, that's pretty good.

Come on inside.

We need some help with the food.

What? Oh, hi, Snoopy. Come on in.

Snoopy, how can you serve the food

in that ridiculous outfit?

How about your chef's hat?

Come on, Snoopy. We don't have any time

for this playing around.

The guests will be here pretty soon,

so please get ready to help serve them.

- Hi, Chuck.

- Hi, Peppermint Patty.

- Hi, Franklin. Hi, Marcie.

- Hi, Chuck.

Are we going to have a prayer?

It's Thanksgiving, you know.

Before we're served,

shouldn't we say grace?

In the year 1621, the pilgrims held

their first Thanksgiving feast.

They invited

the great Indian chief Massasoit...

...who brought 90 of his brave Indians

and a great abundance of food.

Governor William Bradford

and Captain Miles Standish...

...were honored guests.

Elder William Brewster, who was a minister,

said a prayer that went something like this:

"We thank God for our homes and our food

and our safety in a new land.

We thank God for the opportunity to create

a new world for freedom and justice. "

Amen.

What's this? A piece of toast?

A pretzel stick? Popcorn?

What blockhead cooked all this?

What kind of a Thanksgiving dinner is this?

Where's the turkey, Chuck?

Don't you know anything

about Thanksgiving dinners?

Where's the mashed potatoes?

Where's the cranberry sauce?

Where's the pumpkin pie?

You were kind of rough on Charlie Brown,

weren't you, sir?

Rough? Look at this.

Is this what you call

a Thanksgiving Day dinner?

Did we come across town for this?

We were supposed to be served

a real Thanksgiving dinner.

Now, wait a minute, sir.

Did he invite you here to dinner

or did you invite yourself and us too?

Gee, I never thought of it like that.

Do you think I hurt old Chuck's feelings?

I bet I hurt his feelings, huh?

Golly, why can't I act right

outside of a baseball game?

Marcie, maybe you can go to old Chuck

and patch things up for me.

Maybe you can tell him how I really feel.

Tell him that I didn't mean it

the way it sounded.

Marcie, you can do it.

Go see him

and tell him I really like him...

...and that the dinner is okay with me.

Well, I don't know, but I'll try.

I think maybe you should go to Chuck

and tell him yourself.

No, Marcie, I'll just ruin everything.

You know I'm too brusque and rough.

- You go and speak for me.

- Well, okay.

This is not unlike

another famous Thanksgiving episode.

Do you remember the story

of John Alden and Priscilla Mullins...

...and Captain Miles Standish?

This isn't like that one at all.

Don't feel bad, Chuck.

Peppermint Patty didn't mean
