CHARLIE BROWN: "It looks like it's the end of the world, Linus." (Saturday 27-Nov-1999)

LINUS: "Man's thirst for power has finally overwhelmed his ability to control it." (Charlie Brown's shoelaces are tied together. He trips and falls when he goes over to talk to the little red-haired girl.)

LUCY: "Does this mean we're finally going to realize the unspoken love that exists between us?"'

SCHROEDER: "Are you crazy?"

SALLY: "Dear Mr. Christ... Our Sunday School teacher told us that the world is coming to an end. She said that the Four Postmen have been riding all over the earth, delivering all sorts of evil letters and packages to children everywhere, even the ones who have been good all year! But I'm looking forward to the seven seals show when you come to visit. I hope they do tricks like the ones at the circus..." (Saturday 27-Nov-1999)

LUCY: "Now, what seems to be your problem, Charlie Brown?" (Saturday 27-Nov-1999)

CHARLIE BROWN: "Okay. I'm going to do it. I must kick this football. I know no fear. Fear is the mind killer..."

CHARLIE BROWN: "Here's the World War III flying ace on a bombing run over Stalingrad. He steels his nerves and goes in the attack, as defensive anti-aircraft fire crackles all around him. He must aim his tactical nuclear bombs with the utmost precision. Just then he sees the telltale crimson glint in the sky above. Yes, it's his old nemesis: the legendary ace of aces, The Russian Colonel Vladimir Baranov. The Red Baron. Our hero darts and dodges the first cannon strafe. The G-forces tug at his face like pliers on silly putty. He returns fire into the empty Russian sky as depleted-uranium shells tear into his jet fighter. He's been hit! Curse you, Red Baron!" (Saturday 27-Nov-1999)

LUCY: "Auugh! I've been kissed by a capitalist dog! I've got rabies! I've got radiation poisoning! Someone get disinfectant! Someone get the Communist Manifesto!"

LINUS: "I'll tell you what Armageddon is all about, Charlie Brown. Lights, please! ...And when the Lamb opened one of the seals, there was the noise of thunder. Behold, a white horse: and he that say on him had a crown and he went forth to conquer... That is what Armageddon is all about, Charlie Brown."
