Transcript:
Lucy answers the phone and says, "Oh, hi! Linus? Just a minute . . . I'll get him . . ."<BR><BR> Lucy says, "It's for you . . . It's Charlie Brown . . ." Linus says, "I'm not speaking to him . . . He insulted my belief!"<BR><BR> Linus shouts, "I'm not speaking to anyone who doesn't believe in the 'Great Pumpkin'!"<BR><BR> Lucy walks off and says, "Good luck with the world!"<BR><BR>
Lucy’s line in closing panel, plus Linus’ letter to TGP two days before, were also heard in a Peanuts musical from September 1976. Those, plus what Marcie would ask of Linus, on the day after Halloween in 1973,“Did the Great Squash ever show up?” (which always made Linus FURIOUS, of course—Marcie’s calling Linus’ Halloween hero by the wrong fruit or vegetable name). Usually, of course, she would say “Great Grape.” Anyway, interesting fact.
