Andy Pforsich: Schroeder

Quotes 

• Lucy Van Pelt : Wait! Hmm... Brush this guy back, Charlie Brown! Give 'im the ol' bean-ball!

  Charlie Brown : No, I can't do that... It wouldn't be right.

  Lucy Van Pelt : It wouldn't be right?

  [to Frieda] 

  Lucy Van Pelt : Listen to who's gone moral on us all of a sudden! Ol' Wishy-Washy here is too moral to throw a bean-ball!

  Frieda : What about the way the early settlers treated the Indians? Was that moral? How about the Children's Crusade? Was that moral?

  Patty : Yeah, and how about those awful movie ads you see nowadays?

  Frieda : Do you call those moral, Charlie Brown?

  Schroeder : Do you think that incident at Harper's Ferry was consistent with morality?

  Patty : Define "morality"!

  Frieda : Our whole system of freeways is a perfect example of what I'm trying to say!

  Violet : Have you listened to radio lately?

  Pig Pen : How about this whole conservation situation?

  Charlie Brown : We never win any ball games, but we sure have some interesting discussions.

• Schroeder : Alright, Charlie Brown, let's get our signals straight. One finger will mean the high straight ball, and two fingers will mean the low straight ball.

  Charlie Brown : What about my curveball? And my slider? And my knuckleball? And my sidearm? And my submarine pitch?

  Schroeder : One finger will mean the high straight ball, and two fingers will mean the low straight ball.

  [Charlie Brown grimaces] 

• Schroeder : [after going over their pitching signals, he walks away then turns back]  Hey, what's this? What are all these dandelions doing on your pitchers mound?

  Charlie Brown : They grew there, and the girls won't let me get rid of them. They say they look pretty.

  [Grimacing] 

  Charlie Brown : And they say I look cute standing among them.

  Schroeder : [Starts walking back, the stops and looks again and smirks]  They're right. You do look kind of cute standing there.

  [Then suddenly starts running away as Charlie throws his shoes, glove, and finally the ball at him. The last of which hits him in the back of the head] 

• Schroeder : Charlie Brown? Charlie Brown, it's taking you too long to get dressed after every pitch. If you can't dress a little faster, we'll *never* get through the first inning.

• Lucy Van Pelt : Do piano players make a lot of money, Schroeder?

  Schroeder : Some do. If they practice very hard, I guess.

  Lucy Van Pelt : Keep practicing, kiddo!

  [she kisses him on the nose]
