[Marcie] "Beagle Air."
[snoring]
-[droning adult chatter] -[grunts] Isosceles triangle!
[droning adult chatter]
Sorry, ma'am. I thought this was math class.
What are we talking about?
[droning adult chatter]
The Statue of Liberty?
I believe that's a football play, ma'am.
[sighs]
Marcie, what was all that about?
Miss Othmar assigned us each a world-famous monument
for our social studies report.
I was lucky enough to be assigned the Great Sphinx of Giza.
You got the Statue of Liberty.
How am I supposed to learn about the Statue of Liberty?
It's easy for you, Marcie.
You're always reading books!
Learning about something new doesn't have to just come from books, sir.
It could be more hands-on. We can make it fun.
Like football?
-Catch! -[Marcie grunts]
Maybe not that much fun, sir.
But it can still be an adventure in learning.
I'm always up for adventure.
Lead the way, Marcie.
The adventure is this way.
I know. I was just testing you.
[Marcie] Good news, sir.
We're going to fly to New York City
and learn all about the Statue of Liberty in person.
I just booked us two tickets on Beagle Air.
"Fly the happy skies on the wings of a beagle."
Marcie, I'm pretty sure that dogs don't have wings.
And we don't have enough money for plane tickets.
More good news, sir.
Prices start at whatever's left in our lunch bags.
Well, I might have a half-eaten slice of pizza.
[birds chattering]
[birds strain, grunt]
[crashes]
[clatters]
[airplane cabin bell dings]
We are ready for takeoff. Please fasten your seat belts.
What are you doing, Marcie?
I'm the flight attendant for this trip.
Since when?
Since I read the flight manual.
Now, make sure that your seat back is in the upright position.
I don't have a seat back.
Then please nudge the pilot and tell him we're ready for takeoff.
[engine sputters, dies]
[snaps]
[birds grunt]
[engine backfires]
-[chatters] -[birds strain]
[shouting]
[engine revs, sputters]
[engine running]
You must be excited to see the Statue of Liberty, sir.
Did you know it took nine years to build?
And that it was a gift to America from France in 1886?
No, I didn't know that, Marcie.
Say, does this flight offer in-flight entertainment?
[imitates fanfare]
Did you realize the Statue of Liberty is not only a monument?
It's also a working lighthouse designed to guide ships into port.
And her torch represents the enlightenment of the world.
Whoa.
Heavy stuff.
-[cabin bell dings] -Attention, passengers.
Please be advised that we may encounter some slight turbulence.
[thunderclap]
-Whoa. Whoa! Whoa! -[engine sputtering]
[screaming]
No need to worry, sir.
-Our captain is a very accomplished pilot. -[birds chattering, straining]
[chuckles]
[stomach growls]
This flight is taking longer than I thought.
Is there a snack service?
I'm glad you asked.
At this time, Beagle Air would like to offer you
a choice between chicken tacos or spaghetti Bolognese.
-That sounds-- -Unfortunately,
while Beagle Air would like to, they can't.
How about a banana?
Whoa. Oh! Oh! [exclaims]
[engine backfires]
Eat your snack quickly, sir.
It looks like we're in for a rough landing.
[engine roaring]
Marcie!
We apologize for the vertical approach there, folks.
Please stay seated until we come to a full stop.
[engine backfires, sputtering]
-[Snoopy grunts] -[sputtering continues]
-[grunts] -[engine runs smoothly]
-[airplane cabin bell dings] -[Snoopy whimpers]
Don't worry about him. He faints after every flight.
Whoa. The big city!
I have to admit it, Marcie. This was a great idea.
And now we get to see the actual Statue of Liberty in person.
[Charlie Brown] Hi, Marcie. Hi, Peppermint Patty.
Chuck?
What are you doing in the big city?
The big what?
Wait a minute.
I've seen that tree before.
We never went anywhere!
Now what am I gonna do about my Statue of Liberty report?
Ugh!
Welcome home?
You said this was going to be an adventure in learning.
[sighs]
We never even got to see the Statue of Liberty.
All I learned was that it was a gift from France to the United States in 1886,
it functions as a lighthouse,
and her torch represents the enlightenment of the world.
I was wondering, sir, did you also know how long it took to build?
That's an easy one. It took nine years.
Everyone knows that, Marcie.
What do you know?
I guess it was a productive trip after all.
Still, it would've been nice to see the Statue of Liberty in person.
It's not too late, sir. Look.
Thanks for helping me with my report, Marcie.
My pleasure, sir.

[squeaks, grunting]
[Marcie] "The Leprechaun Beagle."
[tin whistle playing Irish folk music]
Goodness. I think I see a leprechaun.
[sighs] There's no such thing as leprechauns.
What's a leprechaun?
It's a merry elf from Irish folklore.
Technically, I think that's a leprechaun beagle.
[folk music ends]
Neat.
According to Irish tradition,
if you catch a leprechaun, they have to grant you a wish.
[gasps] A wish? My favorite.
Does that apply to leprechaun beagles, too?
I don't see why not.
If you ask me, the whole thing's a bunch of malarkey.
-[tin whistle resumes] -Whoo-hoo!
[Snoopy giggles]
You're mine! [grunts]
Get back here and grant my wish! [grunts]
I caught a frog once.
Why is that relevant, sir?
They're both green.
Rerun, according to Irish folklore, leprechaun beagles are tricky.
Yoo-hoo!
[giggles]
[gasps] Magic!
They're also magical.
[chuckles]
[grunts]
But above all,
leprechaun beagles have a true musical spirit.
[playing Irish folk music]
[laughing]
Come here, you magical creature.
I'll get you. [panting] You can't run away forever.
[panting]
Why won't he let me catch him? [breathing heavily]
They're also notoriously hard to catch.
[grunts]
[folk music resumes]
Not so fast! [grunts]
How'd you get over there?
[pants]
[breathing heavily]
Got ya! [grunts]
[music stops]
Sorry about your sandcastle.
I don't mind.
A blank canvas can be very inspiring.
[music resumes]
Whoa, whoa-- [grunts]
Come back here, please!
[grunts, exclaims]
Please.
[grunts]
[plays foul note]
It sounded better when you played it.
[playing Irish folk music]
This would be much easier if he'd just hold still.
[music stops]
You can't just jump out and grab them. You need a plan.
If you want to catch a leprechaun,
a sure way to do it is to lure him out with a pot of gold.
Of course! Thanks, Marcie.
Uh, I'm not sure we have a pot of gold.
I caught a grasshopper once.
Let me guess, sir. Also green?
Bingo.
-[upbeat music, laughter on TV] -[panting]
[crash]
[panting, groans]
Where do we keep our pot of gold?
Hall closet.
-[rummaging] -[Rerun] I don't see it!
You have to look for it!
It's right next to the unicorn!
I couldn't find the pot of gold, so I got the next best thing.
A jar of jelly beans!
There's no such thing as leprechauns!
Or leprechaun beagles!
When the leprechaun beagle goes for the treasure,
you pull the rope and catch him.
-Aye, aye, sir. -[Irish folk music playing]
[exclaims]
Now!
-[box thuds] -We got him!
[sighs] I should've known not to trust free jelly beans.
-[playing Irish folk music] -[Snoopy] Whoo-hoo!
[chewing]
[music stops]
Is this another one of your clever plans?
Absolutely.
Leprechaun beagles love four-leaf clovers.
They symbolize faith, hope, love and luck.
That's a lot of symbolism for a weed.
When the leprechaun beagle comes by to pick it,
I'll-- [exclaims]
[Irish folk music playing]
-[music stops] -[Snoopy] Hmm.
[snickers]
Got ya!
[playing Irish folk music]
[sighs] You caught me fair and square, my Sweet Babboo.
[screams]
[leaves rustling]
That was not a leprechaun, and I'm not her Sweet Babboo.
[Snoopy] Whoo-hoo! Whoo-hoo!
You get back here!
How are your legs not tired?
Whoa!
It's no use.
[sighs] I give up.
What would you have wished for?
I was going to wish for a great, big party
so I could ask the leprechaun beagle to be the guest of honor.
[Snoopy] Hmm?
Yoo-hoo!
[gasps]
I caught the leprechaun beagle!
[Irish folk music playing]
What do you know? A leprechaun beagle.
[audible music stops]

[Marcie] "Marcie's Quiet Spot."
Let me see. That's math, done. Social studies, done.
[droning adult chatter]
No, Mom! I don't have time for snacks!
I still have a little extra credit reading to catch up on!
[grunts]
[sighs]
Excuse me, ma'am.
It seems you accidentally misspelled A-plus as A-minus
when you graded my test.
[droning adult chatter]
I see. I forgot the question on the back page.
Never mind, then. [sighs]
♪ L-U-C-Y Watch me soar into the sky ♪
Come on, Marcie. Give it a try.
♪ M-A-- ♪
On second thought, maybe jumping rope isn't for everyone.
This just isn't my day, sir.
Come on. Just a couple of tosses.
Go long, Marcie.
This one's for all the marbles.
I'm not sure… [pants] …I need any marbles at the moment, sir.
[both grunt]
Rats.
[sighs] Sorry, Charles.
[children laughing, exclaiming]
On days like these, there's only one place to go.
[breathes deeply]
[sighs]
[gasps] Snoopy.
I see you've found my quiet spot.
Care to join me?
Isn't it peaceful?
I can sit, set aside the worries of the world,
and just listen to the wind.
[wind whistling]
And you can't beat the view.
[sighs]
-We can share it if you like. -[gasps]
But don't tell anyone.
Not everyone shares our sophisticated taste for the outdoors.
[birds singing]
[yawns]
Well, I feel much better. See you, Snoopy.
But remember, keep it quiet. That's the best part about this spot.
Hmm?

[whimpering]
Meh.
[chattering rapidly]
[both laughing]
Looks like you invited a friend.
[Woodstock laughing, exclaiming]
I guess it's okay.
We just don't want to attract a crowd.
Uh-huh.
[zips]
[clears throat]
Huh?
[chattering]
[birds gasp, chatter]
[straining]
Petting birds on the head always cheers me up.
[straining]
I wonder where they're off to.
[all chattering]
[sighs]
What a nice spot.
Look at that view.
[wind whistles]
And listen to that wind.
Seems a shame to keep it to myself.
[birds chattering, exclaiming]
[no audible dialogue]
[insects chirping]
I thought we had a game today.
[no audible dialogue]
[grunts]
I'm all done with my homework, Mom! I'm going to get some fresh air.
[droning adult chatter]
You don't have to be proud of me, Mom. It's just a walk.
Where is everyone?
[rock music playing in distance]
[gasps]
[rock music continues]
Hey, Marcie. You look stressed.
Well, you've come to the right place.
[laughing] Whee.
-[cheers] -[chattering]
My quiet spot is ruined!
Did you have to tell everyone?
[gasps]
Hey, Snoopy. Did you come to join the party?
[shouting]
[grunts]
[music skips, stops]
[shushes]
[breathes deeply]
[wind whistling]
I'm sorry, Snoopy.
I didn't mean to yell at you.
[gasps]
You can't beat the view.
Or the summer breeze.
A little respite from the hustle and bustle of the neighborhood.
Almost makes you forget about all the world's troubles.
Almost.
Thanks, Snoopy.
