Melissa Guzzi: Lucy van Pelt

Quotes 

• Lucy van Pelt : [as Schroeder plays his piano]  Well, are you taking me to the party or not?

  [Schroeder stops playing] 

  Schroeder : Musicians don't dance. And anyway, I'll be playing the piano at the party.

  [continues playing] 

  Lucy van Pelt : I don't mind the rejection; it's the smile that bugs me.

• Lucy van Pelt : [pouring root beer]  Come on, Charlie Brown, it's almost midnight. I'll pour you root beer.

  Charlie Brown : Thank you, Lucy. I've decided next year, I'm going to be a *changed* person.

  Lucy van Pelt : Oh, be serious, Charlie Brown.

  Charlie Brown : No, I mean it. I'm going to be strong and firm.

  Lucy van Pelt : Forget it, Charlie Brown. You'll always be wishy-washy.

  [Snoopy starts sniffing her root beer] 

  Charlie Brown : Why can't I change just a little bit? I've *got* it! I'll be wishy one day, washy the next.

  Lucy van Pelt : [as Snoopy continues sniffing her root beer until Lucy turns to him]  Charlie Brown, I have news for you: you will never... you sniffed in my root beer!

  [turning to Charlie Brown] 

  Lucy van Pelt : Your stupid beagle sniffed in my root beer! Look at that! I'll bet it's full of dog germs! Where are my binoculars?

  [she pours the root beer into a dish, then examines it with binoculars] 

  Lucy van Pelt : Aha! I thought so!

  [returning to Charlie Brown and Snoopy with the dish of root beer] 

  Lucy van Pelt : You see, it's filled with dog germs!

  [walks away] 

  Charlie Brown : That's one thing you should never do. Never sniff in someone's root beer.

• Lucy van Pelt : Boy, we were just with Marcie. There's gonna be a great New Year's party!

  Sally Brown : It's boy-ask-girl, and I just know my sweet babboo will ask me.

  Linus van Pelt : I am not your sweet babboo, and I wouldn't invite you to a chicken race!

  Sally Brown : Isn't he the cutest thing?

  Lucy van Pelt : And I expect a certain piano player to ask *me*.

  Charlie Brown : But I've got this book report to do.

  Lucy van Pelt : I'm enrolling us in a dance class. A New Year's party is not a party without lots of dancing.
