"Too Much Togetherness."
Wow.
Look at this beautiful flow-- er.
I'll be with you in a minute.
Now, how can I help you?
Well, I wanted to--
Five cents, please.
Proceed.
I just saw the most beautiful little flower,
but instead of making me happy,
it made me sad I had no one to share it with.
Of all the Charlie Browns in the world, you're the Charlie "Brown-iest."
Have you ever considered that maybe you do have someone
to share nice things with?
Not me, you blockhead!
Your loyal companion. Your faithful, ole pal.
You mean, Snoopy?
He may be a silly beagle, but he is your silly beagle.
My advice to you is spend more time with your dog.
Lucy's right. I should spend more time with Snoopy.
After all, there's no stronger bond than between a dog and his owner.
Hi, Snoopy.
I was talking to Lucy, and it's her professional opinion
that you should spend more time with your best pal.
I believe she meant me.
Let's take a walk. It'll be fun.
Isn't this nice?
A boy and his dog out for an autumn stroll.
Nothing says "best pals" like a good, old-fashioned game of catch.
It'd be even more fun if you played too.
Let's go get a snack.
Let's see.
A sandwich for me and a dog biscuit for you.
I thought Snoopy ate outside.
We're spending more time together.
Why?
Because a boy's best friend is his loyal dog.
And a dog's best friend is his stomach.
Maybe we should watch some TV.
What do you say we watch the baseball game, Snoopy?
But watching the ball game is something we can enjoy together.
I guess you're right.
Part of spending time with your best friend
is learning to compromise.
We can switch to the game when this show ends.
I mean, how long can it be?
What?
It sure was fun watching your show, Snoopy,
but it looks like it's bedtime.
See you in the morning.
You wanna sleep here tonight?
Sleepovers are a classic best friend activity.
I like to read a little before bed.
I'll try not to disturb you with my page-turning.
Good grief.
Cold!
Who used all the hot water?
I'm surprised you're letting Snoopy eat out of your favorite cereal bowl!
I don't mind, Sally.
Because the bond
between a boy and his dog is--
Just so special.
My shirt, if you please.
What about "best pals" and all that?
Sometimes the best thing for a friendship is spending some time apart.
I agree, old pal.
Good things become great things when you have someone to share them with.
Well, see you at supper?
"Snoopy Goes for Gold."
Look at him.
He's the cutest thing I've ever seen.
He's friendly too. He always has a smile on his face.
And, may I add, he has the most beautiful tail.
Sure does.
I can't wait to take him out of the box.
What does he like to watch on TV?
I haven't asked yet.
Welcome, class goldfish. I'm so glad I get to keep you overnight.
You're so lucky.
Gosh. I could watch him all day.
I wonder how fish stay underwater for so long.
Some believe it's because they're thirsty.
But I say it's because they're related to mermaids.
Wow, I'll never know as much about science as you do.
-Where is he? -I wanna see.
Let me see the amazing new pet.
-He's so cute. -Hey, little guy.
-That fish is pretty special. -Sure is.
-Agreed. -I can't see.
You have the best view.
It's my turn.
Just to remind everyone, the bowl is round.
-Over here. -It's my turn.
-Hey, little guy. -He's so cute.
-Hello, you wonder of existence. -Do you like baseball?
-My sweet, little baby. -Need anything to read in there?
-Look at the bubble. -Hi, fishy.
Impressive.
Wow. Look at his stripes.
Can he do any tricks?
Of course, he can.
Goldfish are very good at tricks.
Everyone, step back! He needs room to perform.
Goldfish, I command you to just lie there.
-Impressive. -Wow.
Notice how he sparkles in the light?
I've read that goldfish are so smart, they can recognize your face.
I hear if they like you, they follow your gaze.
Me first. This goldfish and I have a bond.
Hello, little fish. I'm the one looking after you.
Well, okay. Look at me now!
He's probably hungry and tired.
Taking care of a goldfish is a very complicated task.
All done.
Wow.
Time for him to get some rest.
-Bye, fish. -Good night.
-Bye-bye. -See you.
-Sleep tight. -Bye.
After seeing that amazing goldfish,
I don't think anything else will impress me.
What about a bird in his own flying apparatus, sir?
I still prefer the goldfish.
Sometimes I feel as if I'm trapped,
longing to break through the confines of daily life.
I see.
So, the answer is that we should refuse to let our confines limit our journey.
Wait! What other insights can you share, little bird?
Hey! That insight was discovered on my time!
Good morning, little fishy!
Did you have a good night's sleep?
Missing fish! He must be here somewhere.
No. Not here.
What's the big commotion, Sally?
Call the FBI! Call the CIA!
Call the federal manager of the Fish and Wildlife Department
in Washington, DC!
Someone "fish-napped" my fish!
Don't worry. We'll find him.
He couldn't have gone very far. He's a fish.
There he is! He's just visiting Snoopy.
That little fish had me so worried.
Well, we found him safe and sound.
Let's go, little fish. We're going to be late for school.
Look at the bubbles.
Who's a cute fish? You are!
"Happiness Is a Song in your Heart."
Let's talk more about that dream. How did it make you feel?
That bad, huh?
Is that-- Could it be?
It is!
This nonsense ends right now, little brother.
No musicals!
What's wrong with musicals? They're a classic art form.
None of that singing and dancing happens in real life.
And if it did, it would only cause problems.
Can you imagine if I went around like, La, la, la, la, la
"Look at me! Life is just a jelly bowl full of dream beans."
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!
Bravo!
Don't applaud that! It's ridiculous!
Who'd want to live in a world where people acted like that?
Snoopy! Allow me to clarify.
No musicals allowed!
There's an old saying,
"If you want your day to have a good start,
put a song into your heart."
This may explain today.
And yesterday…
And the day before.
You see? This is exactly what I was talking about.
Musicals disrespect the sanctity of this sidewalk.
Shoo! Go away!
Proof positive that musicals cause nothing but chaos.
I don't know, Lucy.
Maybe we'd all be a little happier if we let more music into our lives.
I rest my case.
Hey! We're driving here, pal!
I believe he has the right-of-way, sir.
Snoopy!
This is what happens when you introduce musicals into real life.
Innocent bystanders lose their ice cream cones.
You can have some of mine.
That's not the point.
You're welcome.
Linus!
Stop encouraging him!
It just looked like so much fun.
It may look like fun,
but all musicals do is set up unreasonable expectations.
Make you think that life is all silliness and happiness.
It's not.
My piano!
You see?
Another musical causing nothing but broken dreams.
You know whose fault this is?
No. You. And musicals.
I hope you learned your lesson.
You didn't have to make Snoopy feel bad.
He had to learn the truth.
Look at Schroeder's piano. It's in ruins.
It's okay, Lucy. I'll always have a song in my heart.
No. Ruins.
Look at this mess. It's all gone wrong.
And it all started because of a song!
-Because of a song -Because of a song
Because of a song Because of a song
It all started because of a song We're all pitching in because of a song
So, pick up the tune and sing along
Hey, wait a second. It can't be true.
Everyone's happy now-- And I'm singing too!
It all started because of a song
We're all pitching in because of a song So, pick up the tune and sing along
Because…
You were right, Snoopy.
Because…
Everything's better when life's more like a musical.
Because of a--
Song!
Well, not everything.
