- Marcie: [frying the first batch of eggs] Uh, sir, how do we color the eggs after we've fried them?
- Peppermint Patty: Agh, agh, agh... Aaaugh!
- Sally Brown: See? Linus was right. There *is* an Easter Beagle.
- Lucy van Pelt: Some Easter Beagle! He gave me my own egg!
- Marcie: What do we do with the Easter eggs now that we have them, sir?
- Peppermint Patty: We eat them. We put a little salt on them, and we eat them.
- Marcie: [eats her egg, still with the shell on, and gulps it down] Tastes terrible, sir!
- [first lines]
- Marcie: I got the eggs, sir, just like you asked.
- Peppermint Patty: Great. Come on in, Marcie.
- [Marcie enters]
- Peppermint Patty: But *please* quit calling me 'sir'.
- Linus van Pelt: Every Easter the Easter Beagle comes dancing along with his basket full of eggs, which he hands out to all the good little children.
- Sally Brown: That sounds faintly familiar. I remember sitting out in a stupid pumpkin patch all night waiting for The Great Pumpkin to come. And you know something ? He never came! That was the worst night of my life.
- Linus van Pelt: But this is different. That was Halloween. This is Easter.
- Sally Brown: It's Easter, and they already have the Christmas decorations up.
- Charlie Brown: Good grief.
- Linus van Pelt: I can't believe it.
- Lucy van Pelt: I told you. It's the *gift* getting season.
- Linus van Pelt: You'll see. The Easter Beagle won't let us down.
- Sally Brown: I know he won't, but how about you?
- Peppermint Patty: Now look, kid: these eggs are *not* to be fried. Nor are they to be roasted, toasted, or waffled.
- Marcie: Yes, sir.
- Peppermint Patty: These eggs have to be boiled. You boil them, then I'll show you how to paint them.
- Marcie: Yes, sir. I'll boil them, sir, then you'll paint them.
- Peppermint Patty: Boy, that kid really can dance. And he sure knows how to make a girl happy. He sure is a funny looking kid, though.
- Marcie: He has a very strange nose, doesn't he, sir?
- Charlie Brown: [seeing Sally and Snoopy laugh as they try on hats] Okay, you two, let's get on with it. It's shoes you need, not hats.
- Charlie Brown: I know why they have holidays. They have holidays so people can get together and have fun. So why am I alone?
- Lucy van Pelt: [to Charlie Brown and Sally] We're on our way to the store. We got to get ready for Easter. You know, we need Easter baskets, eggs, candy, the works. Want to join us?
- Linus van Pelt: I told you it's a waste of time. The Easter Beagle does all that.
- Lucy van Pelt: Ooh, Linus, you drive me crazy!
- Sally Brown: [baffled] Easter Beagle?
- Linus van Pelt: Sure, Sally, we don't need to go to all this trouble. On Easter Sunday, the Easter Beagle passes colored eggs to all the good little kids.
- Sally Brown: The Easter Beagle? Are you *sure*, Linus?
- Linus van Pelt: Of course.
- Charlie Brown: Come on, Sally, I thought you wanted to get some new shoes.
- Lucy van Pelt: We've got another one of those great holidays coming up where boys have the opportunity to give presents to pretty girls. You know, big bags of candy and eggs and all sorts of things. It's a great time of the year to start getting things.
- Schroeder: It's not a time for getting. It's a time of renewal. The start of spring.
- Lucy van Pelt: Wrong. It's the gift-getting season.
- Schroeder: What's the matter with you? All you think about is "gimme, gimme, gimme; get, get, get"!
- Lucy van Pelt: That's called sur-*vival*, baby!
- Sally Brown: It's almost Easter, and I have nothing to wear. Look at these shoes! How can I celebrate Easter properly in these shoes?
- Lucy van Pelt: This is going to be the greatest Easter Egg Hunt ever, and I'm going to find them all!
