I couldn't care less, Marcie.
It's too bad he had to write that report.
Okay, everybody,
it's time to play musicaI chairs.
Hi. Can I come in?
I thought you had to study.
Well, I thought I could
read some of it here.
Come on, Chuck, admit it, you sly dog.
You wanted to start
the new year with me.
Well...
...I was kind of hoping
the little red-haired girI would show up.
Chuck, you drive me crazy.
Come on, sir.
Everybody is ready for musicaI chairs.
Okay, okay. Let's get started.
Can I play?
Oh, I guess so, Chuck. Come on.
[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING]
PATTY [SINGING]:
Hey, it's time for musical chairs
Come on, let's go
Set up the chairs now
All in a row
You run around the chairs
Till the music stops
And you have to find a seat
Now, don't get caught
'Cause when the music stops
You can't be standing there
If you wanna be a winner at musical chairs
Now we take away a chair
While you're runnin' around
Don't let the kid in front of you
Get you down
Just listen to the rhythm
Now don't miss a beat
'Cause you don't wanna be the only one
Without a seat
'Cause when the music stops
You can't be standing there
If you wanna be a winner at musical chairs
Now every time the music stops
You're gonna end up one chair short
And if you're boogalooing
When the music's gone
Sorry, you gotta move on
Now it's the moment of truth
It's getting down the wire
You're burning up inside
With musical fire
Of the precious seat
Waitin' for the moment
You can get off your feet
'Cause when the music stops
You can't be standing there
If you wanna be a winner
You've got to be a winner
If you wanna be a winner
At musical chairs
Yeah.
Come on, Charlie Brown.
It's almost midnight.
I'll pour you a root beer.
Thank you, Lucy.
I've decided next year,
I'm going to be a changed person.
Oh, be serious, Charlie Brown.
No, I mean it.
I'm going to be strong and firm.
Forget it, Charlie Brown.
You'll always be wishy-washy.
Why can't I change just a little bit?
I've got it.
I'll be wishy one day
and washy the next.
Charlie Brown, I have news for you.
You will never...
You sniffed in my root beer.
Your stupid beagle
sniffed in my root beer.
Look at that.
I'll bet it's full of dog germs.
Where are my binoculars?
Ah-ha.
I thought so.
You see? It's filled with dog germs.
There's one thing you should never do:
Never sniff at someone's root beer.
[CHATTERING]
Hey, Chuck, wait for me.
Hey, Chuck,
that was a sly move on your part.
You know, to get us out here alone
on New Year's Eve.
Huh?
Yep, we might end up
ushering in the new year together.
- I bet you'd like that, eh, Chuck?
- Hmm.
It's been a great year, Chuck.
You'll have to admit that.
What do you think, Chuck, would be
good rules for living in the new year?
Keep the ball low.
Don't leave your crayons in the sun.
Don't spill the shoe polish.
Don't let the ants get in the sugar.
Never volunteer to be
a program chairman.
Always get your first serve in.
And feed your dog
whenever he's hungry.
Will those rules
give me a better life, Chuck?
A better life and a fat dog.
Have you made
any New Year's resolutions, Chuck?
Yes.
You know how I always dread
the whole year?
Well, this time,
I'm only going to dread one day at a time.
[KIDS CHATTERING]
Hey, come on. It's almost midnight.
MARCIE:
Grab your partners, everybody.
You're weird, Chuck.
CHARLIE:
"But alike in the setin which they moved...
...the daughter of Prince Vassily,
the beauty Ellen...
...came to fetch her father and go with him
to the ambassador's fete.
She was wearing a balldress
was there...
...celebrated as the most seductive woman
in Petersburg.
She had been married
the previous winter...
...and was not now going out
into the great world...
...on account
of her interesting condition...
...but was still to be seen
at small parties.
Prince Ippolit, the son of Prince Vassily,
came too with Mortemart...
...whom he introduced. "
[CHATTERING]
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
Oh, hi.
You are Heather, aren't you?
Please come in.
Charlie Brown told me
he had invited you to the party.
I don't know
where Charlie Brown is right now.
But would you like to dance?
Chuck, where are you?
It's just a few seconds before midnight.
Chuck, Chuck.
[CLOCK CHIMES]
[CHEERING]
[ALL SINGING "AULD LANG SYNE"]
Chuck, how could you do this to me?
When midnight came along,
I was the only one standing all alone.
I, uh... I...
Big brother, my Sweet Baboo
didn't dance with me at midnight.
And do you know why?
Well, uh, I, uh...
Because he danced with your friend,
the little red-haired girI.
He did what?
Gee, Charlie Brown,
I didn't know where you went.
But, wow,
your friend is sure a good dancer.
You mean she was here?
The little red-haired girI was here
and I missed her?
Happy New Year, Charles.
[CHIRPING]
[BARKS]
Hurry up, Charlie Brown.
We'll be late for schooI.
[YAWNS]
Did you finish War and Peace,
Charlie Brown?
I finished at 3:
00 this morning.How did you like it, Charlie Brown?
I don't remember a thing.
- Did you turn in your report?
- Yes.
What did the teacher say about it?
What grade did you get?
A D-minus.
The lowest grade without failing.
Gee, I'm sorry, Charlie Brown.
The teacher said
it looked like the sort of report...
...that was written after midnight
on the last day of Christmas vacation.
What did you say?
What could I say?
I congratulated her
on her remarkable insight.
Did you see what our next assignment is?
No. What is it?
To read Crime and Punishment
by Dostoevsky.
Happy New Year, Charlie Brown.
