She exclaims,"Charlie Brown, I'll hold the ball, and you come running up and kick it!"<BR><BR> He replies,"Sure! Sure I will! You must think I'm really stupid!"<BR><BR> He frowns to the reader as Lucy says,"Please, Charlie Brown...I look forward to this special moment all year..."<BR><BR> He walks off saying,"I suppose if someone looks forward to something, it's wrong to spoil it..."<BR><BR> He runs back the way he came and exclaims,"This year I'm gonna kick that ball clear to bullhead city!"<BR><BR> As he goes to kick the ball, she moves it away and he flips up into the air with a scream. He lands with a WHAM on his back.<BR><BR> As he lies on the ground in pain and in a daze, she turns to the reader and says,"How depressing...you look forward all year to a special moment, and before you know it, it's over!"<BR><BR> She walks off with the ball in tow and concludes,"It's so depressing" He lifts his head up and exclaims,"I can't stand it!"<BR><BR>
