Dialogue

 * Lucy Van Pelt: Listen to me. Mom doesn't want you to have a dog, does she?
 * Rerun Van Pelt: No.
 * Lucy Van Pelt: Do you really think Santa Claus is going to bring you something Mom doesn't want you to have?
 * Rerun Van Pelt: Ooh... Supreme Court stuff.


 * Violet: You're asking our family to adopt this dog?
 * Charlie Brown: Why not? He's Snoopy's big brother. He's a good dog. He's a full-blooded beagle.

 * Charlie Brown: He's been living just outside of Needles with a bunch of coyotes.
 * Violet: I think I'd rather have one of the coyotes.
