Charlie Brown's All Stars! Page #4

You're absolutely filthy.

Yes, but I have clean thoughts.

Can't you even keep your shoelaces tied?

What do you want me to be,

inconsistent?

I've got to pitch them in there and win.

It's the only thing that will take

their minds off those stupid uniforms.

It's very lonely out here

on the pitcher's mound.

It's hard sometimes

to bear all this responsibility.

But suddenly you seem to realize

that you are not really alone.

Actually,

you are surrounded by loyal teammates.

Come on, you blockhead,

try to get one over the plate.

[BAT HITS BALL]

Oh, well, a man on first.

I'll keep the ball low for a double play.

[BAT HITS BALL]

Greatest double play I've ever seen.

Look at that. Shermy got a hit.

Wow, another hit!

LUCY:
Where did it go?

CHARLIE:
I don't know, I can't see.

I feel it in my bones, today we win.

[BAT HITS BALL]

Boy, what a catch.

The team is really up for this one.

We can't lose.

Linus, they've only scored two runs

in nine innings. We still have a chance.

I want you to go up there

and grit your teeth.

Look at that, Linus got a hit!

Oh, good grief. Out by a blanket.

Lucy, if you grit your teeth

and show real determination...

...you always have a chance.

Let's see you grit your teeth.

Fantastic.

You'll scare their pitcher to death.

Go get a hit.

Get a hit? I can't even see the pitcher.

This bat is no good. It's too light.

That ball they're using is no good either.

How can anyone hit

when the sun is so bright?

- I bat better when it's cloudy.

- Good grief.

All right, Snoopy.

This is the last of the ninth.

We need at least two runs.

I want you to go up there

and get on base.

Ahhhh!

That's it, Snoopy. Grit your teeth.

Look at that, Snoopy got a hit!

We're still in the game!

Look at that, Snoopy stole second!

Snoopy stole third!

ALL:

Slide, Snoopy, slide!

Snoopy stole home.

We're only one run behind.

ALL:

He's a hero.

It just shows what

teeth-gritting determination can do.

Who's our next teeth-gritting hero?

Who's up next?

You are. Grit your teeth, Charlie Brown.

Just do what you told all the others.

Grit your teeth and get a hit.

[TEETH RATTLING]

Good grief.

Ooh, come on, Charlie Brown, hit it.

For once in your life, hit it.

Wouldn't you like just for once

to see Charlie hit the ball?

No, I'm not prepared

to have the world come to an end.

Now I'm gonna grit my teeth

and bear down.

If a person grits his teeth and shows

real determination, he can't fail.

I got a hit, I got a hit!

I finally got a hit!

I got a hit!

You can't say I didn't get a hit.

And now...

And now I'm gonna steal second.

I stole second base!

I'm on my way to being a hero.

If I could steal third, we have a chance.
