- Sally Brown: I don't want you to get me anything for Christmas this year, Linus.
- Linus van Pelt: Really? That's too bad, but I can understand how you feel, and I admire you for it.
- [calls offscreen]
- Linus van Pelt: Cancel that order for the $10,000 necklace!
- Sally Brown: [annoyed] After the holidays are over and everything has quieted...
- [holds up her fist at him]
- Sally Brown: I'm gonna slug you!
- Patricia 'Peppermint Patty' Reichardt: [talking on the phone to Charlie Brown] Hello, Chuck, this is Peppermint Patty.
- Charlie Brown: Hi.
- Patricia 'Peppermint Patty' Reichardt: Our school left out early for Christmas vacation. So I may come to visit you.
- Charlie Brown: That would be great.
- Patricia 'Peppermint Patty' Reichardt: I'm making out my Christmas card this, Chuck, and I wanted to know your address so I can surprise you with the card.
- Charlie Brown: That's great! Nobody ever sends me a Christmas card.
- Patricia 'Peppermint Patty' Reichardt: But come to think of it, Chuck, now the surprise is gone, isn't it? So I'll just send your card to someone else. So I guess I won't need your address. Forget I called, Chuck.
- [hangs up, to Charlie Brown's disappointment]
