It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown Page #3

---

Sally:
Oh Boy, Oh Boy, Oh Boy! How do we do it?!

Lucy:
All you have to do is walk up to a house, ring the doorbell, and say “tricks-or-treats!”

Sally:
Are you sure it’s legal?

Lucy:
Of course it’s legal!

[Sally begins to put her ghost costume]

Sally:
I won’t want to be accused of taking part in rumble!

[Sally put on her ghost costume, but puts her hands in the eyeholes, Lucy pulls up her ghost costume, and Sally is completely in her costume, Charlie Brown puts on HIS ghost costume, but his costume has more eyeholes than it should have]

Lucy:
Oh, good grief!

[Frieda and Shermy enter, and they are both in costume]

Frieda:
Is that you, Patty?

Lucy:
No!

Shermy:
Where is Charlie Brown?

Charlie Brown:
Here I am! [Charlie Brown looks at his costume] I had a little trouble with the scissors

[Pigpen enters with HIS ghost costume, his is dirty]

Pigpen:
They’ll never guess its me under here!

Violet:
Hello, Pigpen! Glad you could make it!

Pigpen:
How Did you know it was me?

[Snoopy enters]

Lucy:
What in the world kinda costume is that?!

Charlie Brown:
He’s a World War 1 Flying Ace!

Lucy:
Now I’ve heard everything! All right everybody, we’ll go trick-or-treating, and then over to Violet’s for the big Halloween party!

[Everyone heads for the door cheering, Snoopy marches along, Charlie Brown holds the door open for him, and salutes him, when Snoopy gets outside, he walks the opposite way the gang is going, scene cuts to the gang walking to the pumpkin patch where Linus is]

Linus:
Hey! Have you come to sing pumpkin carols?

Lucy:
You blockhead! You’re gonna miss ALL the fun just like last year!

Linus:
Don’t talk like that! The Great Pumpkin knows which kids have been good, and which kids have been bad! You’ll be sorry!

Lucy:
Oh good grief!

Linus:
He’ll come here because I have the most sincere pumpkin patch, and he respects sincerity!

[Sally takes off her ghost costume]

Sally:
Do you REALLY think he’ll come?

Linus:
Tonight, the Great Pumpkin rises out of the pumpkin patch, he flies through the air and brings toys to all the children of the world!

Sally:
That’s a good story!

Linus:
You don’t believe in the story of the great pumpkin? I though little girls always believed everything that was told to them, I though little girls were innocent and trusting!

Sally:
Welcome to the 20th Century!

Lucy:
Alright, once and for all! Are you coming or are you staying? We can’t waste all night!

[Everybody goes off with Sally following them. She sees Linus still waiting for her and ran back]

Linus:
I'm glad you came back, Sally! We'll just sit here in this pumpkin patch and you'll see the Great Pumpkin with your own eyes.

[As they waited, Sally tells him something]
