I don't understand this escort business, Linus.
What does an escort do?
It's simple, Charlie Brown.
We escort the queen and her attendance to the dance after the game.
Good grief!
Linus!
That girl!
That girl!
That girl on the float!
It's...
It's...
You mean Heather?
HEATHER!?
It's... it's the Little Red-haired Girl!
Sure, Charlie Brown, she's the homecoming queen, and you're supposed to escort her to
the ball.
She's your date, Charlie Brown.
It's a tradition, Charlie Brown, you escort Heather through the center of the ballroom.
And before the first dance begins, you have to give the queen a kiss!
Alright, team, let's pay attention!
We're not gonna play around with those guys out there today!
Our basic play will be me smashing straight ahead and crunching out the yards.
You guys up front set him back on their heels, and I'll do the rest.
Okay?
Are there any questions?
Hey coach, I have a question: are we the zeros or the X's?
What do you mean are we the zeros or the X's?
Are we the zeros or the X's?
All right, that was a good question.
I'm glad to see you guys are thinking.
now let's go out there and go to work!
Are we the zeros or the X's?
Heads!
Rats, it's tails!
Let's get the game started, kicker!
Oh boy, they must have blocked it!
What happened?
You missed the ball, Charlie Brown, they ran right over you!
They're on our five-yard line!
I better go practice up on a few place kicks!
Okay gang, no fancy stuff.
I'll figure pass and plow up the middle!
Linus, are you sure that I'm supposed to be her escort?
Sure, Charlie Brown, at the dance you're supposed to walk up to the queen, and then she'll take
your arm, and then you'll escort her to the dance floor, and then, before the dance starts,
you give her a kiss on the cheek.
It's a tradition.
Oh good grief, Charlie Brown.
Time for the extra point, Charlie Brown!
Okay, Chuck.
I'll give you a chance to be a hero.
Who won between the olive rides?
Too bad, Charlie Brown.
That leaves them ahead.
Now you've got to go back for the kickoff!
Hold it there, Charlie Brown!
We don't need a kicking T!
I'll hold the ball!
Are you crazy?
You'll pull it away and I'll land flat on my back again.
This is a very important game, Charlie Brown, and in an important game, it is crucial that
we take no chances.
Charlie Brown, do you think that I'd pull this football away in an important game like
this?
Hmm...
You're holding up the game, kicker.
Well, okay, I guess it's true.
This is too important a game.
She wouldn't dare pull that ball away!
all right
You did it again, Charlie Brown.
You blew the kick-off.
Okay, team, we need 19 yards for the first down.
I'll take it up the middle.
Okay, gang, I didn't quite make it.
We'll have to kick.
It's fourth down and we've got a kick.
Go out there and kick it to the Moon!
Okay, Chuck, it's up to you!
Kick it high and long, and we'll do the rest!
W-what happened?
You got sacked, Charlie Brown.
I feel woozy.
Maybe you have hyponatremia.
All you need is a little water and a little salt.
Oh brother.
Is it raining?
What happened?
I told you, Charlie Brown.
You got sacked, and they ran the ball in for a touchdown.
Is it baseball season yet?
To answer your earlier question, Franklin, about the x's and the zeros, I think we found
out who our zero is.
Okay, gang, we'll have to get back to some basics.
We're gonna have to grind it out of the ground.
Now they've only got us by two touchdowns.
I know we can make that up and even more.
As a matter of fact, the only weakness I can see is our kicking game.
Luckily, next time, they kick off to us.
Okay, gang, we'll run it down there folks.
You guys know what to do so let's get out there and do it.
Linus, I've made a fool of myself.
How can I face that little red-haired girl?
Look at it this way, Charlie Brown.
It's better to get bad press than no press at all.
I doubt that, Linus.
Look at her up there.
I'm going to be her escort and she doesn't even know I exist.
It's fourth down, Charlie Brown, and here comes Peppermint Patty!
Welp, we can't push him back.
We're gonna have to go for a field goal.
We're on the five-yard line, and nobody can miss such an easy kick, not even you-know-who.
Okay, Charlie Brown.
The score is 21-20.
We need three points to go ahead.
You can do it, Charlie Brown.
You can be the hero of the game!
Don't worry, Charlie Brown, but just remember, that little redhead girl is watching.
Okay, Chuck.
Don't goof this one.
We'll give you the blocking, and you drew it between the sticks.
I just can't miss the ball again.
The little red-haired girl is watching!
This is my last chance to really impress her!
They beat us by one point.
I blew it.
The little red-haired girl must think I'm a fool.
She'd never let me be her escort.
I'll probably never see her again.
Don't feel bad, Charlie Brown, but if you had only kicked that extra point...
Hey Chuck, what are you
doing here?
after you lost today's game, this the last place we thought you'd be!
Yeah, you've got some nerve, Charlie Brown. continue the script. you (jake) tell lucy how dare she pull the football away and that charlie lost because of her.
