Snoopy Come Home (1972) - full transcript

[SEAGULLS CAWING]

[WATER SPLASHES]

Nice going, Charlie Brown.

I took that rock 4,000 years
to get to shore,

and now you've thrown it back.

Everything I do makes me feel guilty.

[BOTH LAUGHING]

You know, kid.
You and I make a great pair.

It‘s nice to lie in the sun
and just do nothing.

Of course, it's better
if you're with someone you like.

You kind of like me,
don‘t you, Snoopy?



Why don‘t we meet here again
tomorrow?

If you‘ll come,
I'll bring a picnic lunch.

We'll have sandwiches, cookies
and lemonade and potato chips

and everything, okay?

And we‘ll build another sand castle.

Only this time,
we'll build an even bigger one.

We'll have a great time.
Will you come?

Good. I'll see you tomorrow.

[DICE RATTLING]

I wonder where Snoopy is.

I've got Boardwalk and Park Place.

I'm going to destroy you economically,
Charlie Brown.

I'll never give up.

I have a philosophy that tells me,
no matter how bad things get,



they will always turn out good
in the end.

That's not a philosophy,
that's stupidity.

CHARLIE:
Seven.

Go directly to jail.

Do not pass go.

Do not collect $200.

Good grief.

When you get out of jail,
Charlie Brown,

you‘re gonna land on my Boardwalk
or Park Place,

and then you'll be destroyed.

Ha! Twelve, doubles.
That means I get another turn.

Oh, no, not on Pacific!
With hotels!

Pay me $1,275, please.

Schroeder. Schroeder.
How about a beep on the nose?

- A what?
- Beep.

A beep on the nose is a sign
of great affection.

I'd rather have the $1,275, please.

- Pay up.
- But I haven't got $1,275.

If you can't pay up,
then I guess you're bankrupt.

LUCY: I am not bankrupt.
- It's almost dark.

Snoopy isn‘t home yet.

I wonder where that dog is.

There he is.

I wonder where he‘s been all day.

What an independent dog.

He comes and goes as he pleases.

But I have to stay home
and fix his supper.

Ow! Ow! Ow.

Rats!

All right, it's supper time.
Come and get your supper.

Do you see this finger?

I cut it opening a stupid can
of dog food for your stupid supper.

I hope you appreciate it.

Besides that, it wasn't a finger,
it was my thumb.

You've been acting
awfully independent lately.

Don't forget that I'm the one
who feeds you.

I'm the one who takes care of you.

Look at me when I'm talking to you.

Without me, you'd be nothing.

Everything you have,
you have because of me.

Even that collar around your neck.

Why, I remember the day I went out

and bought that collar
with money I had worked for

and had saved and...

I hate it when he does that.

[SEAGULLS CAWING]

[WHISTLING]

[SIREN WAILING
AND WHISTLE BLOWING]

[GIBBERING]

I think I've been stood up.

[GIBBERING]

[SIGHS]

[GIBBERING]

[THUDDING]

Maybe I came on too strong for him.

I know why you want me
to go to the library!

You‘re trying to trick me
into learning how to read.

That's what you're trying to do.
Who cares about reading?

The next thing you know,

you‘ll want me to conjugate all
those verbs and split those infinitives.

I hate reading.

I just want to be a good housewife.

Shh! You have to be real quiet in here.
Now, come on.

[GROANS]

LINUS:
Oh, Snoopy.

[PANTING]

[YELLS]

[GRUNTS]

[GRUNTING]

[SHRIEKS]

Hmm, a letter for Snoopy.
I never get letters.

Nobody ever writes to me.

I had 14 pen pals once,
but I did all the writing.

Here, Snoopy. You got a letter.

[YAWNS]

[SNAPPING]

[FINGERS SNAPPING]

[THUDDING]

What's going on?
Why are you packed?

Are you going someplace?
What's going on?

Where is he going?

I never know what's going on.

[GRUNTS]

[THUNDER CLAPPING]

He's gone.

[SCHROEDER PLAYING PIANO]

I don't understand it.

Who is Lila?

You say he got this letter
and then he just took off?

Well, what does the letter say,
Charlie Brown?

"Dear Snoopy, I have been
in the hospital for three weeks,

and I am very lonely.

Could you come to see me?
Love, Lila."

Lila? Who in the world is Lila?

If I don't find out who Lila is,
I'll go crazy.

[CAR VROOMS]

[GIBBERING]

I don't understand it.

Why would Snoopy go to Lila?

Maybe Snoopy felt
he needed a vacation.

Maybe his life with you
was getting too boring.

Boring? What was I supposed to do?

- Keep him entertained?
- I don't know.

What do other dog owners do?

I never thought of myself
as being a dog owner.

Snoopy was more like a friend.

Friends get bored too,
Charlie Brown.

[SIGHS]

- Hey, Ma, I've found a stray dog.
SNOOPY: Aah!

Ma, oh, Ma.

[GULPS]

[GRUNTING]

Oh, boy, I found a lost bird.

Hey, Ma, I found a lost bird! Ma!

I got a bird, Ma.

To add to my collection, Ma.
A dog and a bird.

[SIGHS]

This is great. I have two pets.

Hey, Ma, I got two pets!

A Sheepdog and a parrot.

Hey, Ma. Can I keep them, Ma?

[SIGHS]

Hi, puppy. Mom says I can keep you.

Boy, I always wanted a dog.

I think I‘ll give you a good dog name.

Rex?

Hey, how about Rex?

[GROANS]

Here, Rex! Here, Rex! Here!

[MAKES KISSING NOISES]

[SINGING] I’m a sentimental gal
I need a fundamental pal

I’ll depend on you
You’ll depend on me

Speaking psychologically

We’ll both have fundamental
Friend dependability

Fundamental friend dependability

I’ll have fun with you
You’ll have fun with me

That’s fundamental
Friend dependability

Here, Rex. Here, Rex. Here.

- Heel, Rex. Heel.
SNOOPY: Aah!

Heel, Rex. Heel.

[SNOOPY GRUNTING]

First thing to do with you, Rex,
is to bathe you.

I hope you like baths

because my doggy has
to be real clean.

Okay, Rex?

Okay, in you go, Rex.

Speaking hygienically
We’ve got to wash away each flea

Rub a-dub a-dub
I’II scrub you in the tub

Oh, how squeaky clean you’ll be

Because of fundamental
Friend dependability

I will disinfect your whole anatomy

When you’ve got a chum
Who scrubs you till you’re numb

That’s fundamental
Friend dependability

Down, Rex!

Heel, Rex. Heel!

Rex! Rex! You naughty dog.

Rex! Down, boy, bad dog!

Heel, Rex. Heel.

I'm glad you like baths.

I want you to be real clean
so we can play dress-up.

Down, Rex. Down, boy.

Stay, Rex, stay.

I'm gonna close the door
so you won't run away.

Then we'll play dolls, okay?

[WOODSTOCK GIBBERS
AND SNOOPY SIGHS]

I always wanted a Sheepdog.
You stick with me, Rex.

Every little shaggy pup
Ought to get to gussie up

I will pour the tea
Just for you and me

Oh, how proper we will be

’Cause we got fundamental
Friend dependability

Fundamental friend dependability

Fundamental friend dependa
Fundamental friend dependa

Fundamental friend dependability

You naughty dog.
You got your dress dirty.

I'll have to spank you.

[YELPING]

Down, boy, down!
Here, Rex! Down, Rex!

Bad dog. Bad dog!
Come back, Rex!

Here, boy.

You naughty dog.
Raising all this commotion.

Mom says, if I'm gonna keep you,

I gotta take you
to the vet for a checkup.

You probably need
about a dozen shots.

[GRUNTING]

I'II walk you to the vet's,
that will be great, hey, Rex?

Heel, Rex, heel.

I'm so glad I found you.

Mom always said we needed a dog
to get rid of our table scraps.

[DOGS BARKING]

[BOTH GIGGLE]

Here, Rex. Here, Rex. Here.

[PANTING]

[DOOR OPENS, THEN CLOSES]

Rex! You naughty dog, Rex!

[PANTING]

[SNOOPY SHRIEKS]

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

I'm depressed, Linus.

I need an encouraging word
to cheer me up.

Happiness lies in our destiny,
like a cloud in the sky

before the storms of tomorrow destroy

the dreams of yesterday
and last week.

I think that blanket is
doing something to you.

[THUDDING]

[SIGHS]

[WHISTLING]

[BOTH LAUGHING]

[YAWNS]

[GIBBERING]

[CRANKING]

[CLOCK TICKING]

[ALARM RINGS]

[LAUGHING]

There's only one thing to be done,
Charlie Brown.

I think you should disown
that ungrateful dog.

Disown him?

You have to face it, Charlie Brown,

nobody made him leave,
he went because he wanted to.

You'll just have to get another dog.

I don‘t want another dog.

And I still say, if I don‘t find out
who Lila is, I'll go crazy!

He's hopeless.

Listen to that music, Chuck,
it's a carnival.

Doesn't that do something to you?
Listen.

It's a beautiful evening, Chuck.

The air is warm.
The sky is filled with stars.

And I've got a whole pocketful
of tickets for the carnival.

Come on, let's go.

Listen, people are laughing, Chuck.
They're having a good time.

You can‘t let yourself get
into a mood like this.

I know you miss Snoopy.
I miss him too.

But if you let yourself get into a mood,
no one will want to be around you.

No one likes a moody person, Chuck.
Take it from me.

I learned a long time ago

that if you go around in a mood
feeling sorry for yourself,

you do it alone.

And I mean alone, Chuck.

[GRUNTS]

I don‘t know.

I've seen people get sick
on merry-go-rounds

and Ferris wheels
and roller coasters,

but you‘re the first person
I've ever seen who got sick

going through the turnstile.

Hey, look at that, Chuck.
Come on, let's go!

[CHARLIE GRUNTING]

We‘re having a good time,
aren't we, Chuck?

I love this kind of life. I like action.

I'm a moving-type person.

When nothing is moving,
I feel low.

That's why I always keep moving.

Does your kind ever think
about love, Chuck?

- What do you mean, my kind?
- I'm sorry.

I didn‘t mean to put it that way.
No offense.

I apologize. Friends?

You touched my hand, Chuck.

Hey, look here,
a fortune-telling machine.

Let‘s get our fortune told, Chuck.

Maybe we can find out something
about ourselves.

PEPPERMINT PATTY [READING]:

CHARLIE [READING]:

You kind of like being with me,
don't you, Chuck?

What do you think love is, Chuck?

Well, years ago, my dad owned
a black 1934 two-door sedan.

- What's that got to do with love?
- Well, this is what he told me.

There was this real cute girl, see?

She used to go for rides
with him in his car,

and whenever he'd call for her,

he would always hold open
the car door for her.

After she got in
and he had closed the door,

he'd walk around the back
of the car, to the driver's side.

But before he could get there,

she would reach over and press
the button, locking him out.

Then, she'd just sit there
and wrinkle her nose and grin at him.

That's what I think love is.

Sometimes
I wonder about you, Chuck.

[BUTTON BUZZES]

Snoopy!

I knew you'd come.

[SIGHS]

Hi, Chuck. Any news from old Snoop?

No. No news.

He's never been gone
this long before.

You've got to agree,
he's gone because of me.

Maybe I came on too strong for him.

Right after our fight,
he kissed me and I fainted.

I think, he thinks, I think
there's something wrong with him.

He wanted my blanket,
I wouldn‘t let go.

He left because I was hostile
and unkind to him.

I made him feel unwanted,
like he was a pest.

Now I'm going out of my mind for him.

- Do you think pets are important?
- Sure.

A friend of mine at school got
some goldfish for his birthday.

- I don't think he really wanted them.
-Hmm.

How did you happen to get Snoopy,
Charlie Brown?

Well, I'm not quite sure
because I was kind of young.

I think it started because of something
that happened at a playground.

I was playing in the sandbox
with a couple of other kids.

I can‘t even remember
who they were.

Anyway, all of a sudden,

one of them poured a whole bucket
of sand over my head.

I started crying... I guess.

And my mother came running up
and took me home.

It's kind of embarrassing now
to talk about it.

Anyway, the next day we drove out
to the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm,

and my mother and dad
bought me a dog.

People buy pets
for strange reasons.

[SIGHS]

I just don't know what to do, Linus.

If I don't find out
what happened to Snoopy,

I think I'll go out of my mind.

If you‘ll calm down for a minute,
Charlie Brown,

I may be able to conduct
a little private investigation.

Just what I need,
a blanket-carrying Sherlock Holmes.

I wonder if it would help to call
the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm.

They might know something
about him that we don‘t know.

I don't understand it.

Every morning I brought him
a toasted English muffin

with grape jelly on it.

Sometimes at noon,
I'd even fix him a nice salad.

He wrote all those letters
to the editor.

Why doesn't he write me a letter?

Snoopy, come home!

I'm feeling so much better
now that you‘re here.

I hope I can go home soon.

[DOOR OPENS]

Thank you, nurse. Thank you.

[DOOR CLOSES
AND SNOOPY SIGHS]

I'm feeling better every day.
Perhaps soon, we can go home.

[SNOOPY GULPS]

I know that when my mother sees
how you‘ve made me well,

she'll let me take you home with me.

I'll keep you with me forever.

What's the matter, Snoopy?

You do want to go home with me,
don't you?

[SOBBING]

You poor dear.
You're homesick, aren't you?

But we'll be good for each other.

Hello? Hello, Humane Society?

I'm calling about this lost dog,
you see.

Describe him?

I don't know how to describe him.
He's just a stupid beagle!

I've had it!

Let old wishy-washy Charlie Brown
find his dog himself.

Hello, Daisy Hill Puppy Farm?

I'm calling in regard
to a dog named Snoopy.

Uh-huh.

That's right. Charlie Brown.

Uh-huh. Oh.

Really?

Wow. I'll bet he never knew that.

That explains a lot of things.

[PANTING]
Charlie Brown! Charlie Brown!

Charlie Brown!

I have news about Snoopy.

All right, tell me, what happened?

If you don‘t tell me what happened
to Snoopy, I'll go crazy.

The first thing I did
in my investigation

was to call
the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm.

I found out something
that will amaze you.

In fact, I hesitate to tell you.

Are you ready for a shock?
He wasn't ready for a shock.

How can I tell you something
that will shock you

if you pass out
before I can tell you?

I'm sorry.

I've been hyperventilating
a lot lately.

Well, anyway.

Here's what I found out when I called
the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm.

You are not Snoopy's original owner.

Oh, good grief.

You bought Snoopy
in the month of October, right?

According to the records
at the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm,

Snoopy was bought
by another family in August.

This family had
a little girl named Lila.

Snoopy and Lila loved
each other very much,

but they had to move
and the family decided

they just couldn't keep Snoopy.
So they returned him.

You got a used dog, Charlie Brown.

- So that's why Snoopy left.
- Sure.

He had tried to forget her
all these years.

But when he found out she was
in the hospital, he ran off to see her.

I‘ll bet he wishes
he was still her dog instead of mine.

- That's funny.
WOODSTOCK: Hee-hee.

Well, Snoopy,
this is our last day together.

What are we going to do?

You're coming to visit me saved me.

Are you sure you don‘t want
to come home with me?

It's up to you, Snoopy.

You can go to your other owner
if you want to,

but I wish
you'd come home with me.

[SOBS]

Snoopy.

Oh, I'm so glad you came back.

This means you want to come
and live with me, doesn't it?

Why don't you go back home.
Maybe you could settle your affairs.

You could say goodbye
to all of your old friends,

then you could come
and meet me at my house.

Now, promise me
you'll hurry back.

After this, you'll never leave again.
Promise me.

Hurry back, honey.

[TYPEWRITER CLICKING]

Hey, you‘re back.

I heard about Lila.
Did you see her?

Was she well?

Where did you stay
all the time you were gone?

Was Lila nice to you?
Why didn't you write?

Are you hungry? Are you well?
Can I do anything for you?

I'm not getting any answers.

I can't stand it!

What's this?

"I, Snoopy, being of sound mind,

do bequeath to Charlie Brown,
my previous owner--"

Previous owner?

"--my best wishes for the future.

My treasured belongings will be given
to my friends as follows."

What's going on here?
Why do you mean by all this?

"My croquet set I leave to Linus,
as well as the chess set.

My record collection

I place in the capable hands
of Schroeder.

Carpeting and rest of the furnishings
to my favorite charity,

the American Humane Association.

Thus, with the settling of my affair,

I return to Lila who needs me."

[PLAYING JAUNTY TUN E]

We are gathered together
at this farewell party

to pay tribute and say goodbye
to a very close friend.

Perhaps I could persuade
some of you to say a few words.

Lucy?

With a heavy heart
I stand before you

as we all gather to say
our last goodbyes to Snoopy.

He leaves us
in the prime of his life.

[SOBBING]

He wasn't much of a dog,
but who is?

We shall miss our furry friend.

So at this time I want to offer
this gesture of friendship.

A little gift for old times' sake.

[SOBS]

Farewell, Snoopy.

Next, I would like to call on Schroeder.

Well, first I would like to thank
Snoopy for the record albums.

And for the many great times
we have had together.

[SOBBING]

Here, Snoopy, a little token
of my friendship.

And now a word from Snoopy's
ex-owner, Charlie Brown.

[GULPS]

[WAILING]

[WAILS]

Snoopy, with a heavy heart
and all the best wishes...

...this present.

Goodbye, Snoopy.

I'm sorry to see you go, Snoopy.

I'm sorry we never caught any rabbits.

[SOBS]

[COUGHING]

[SOBBING]

[SMOOCHING]

Beep.

[PLAYING JAUNTY TUN E]

[ALL SOBBING]

[GIBBERING]

[SIGHS]

CHARLIE: Why can’t we get
all the people together in the world…

that we really like,

and then just stay together forever?

Someone would leave.

Someone always leaves.

And then we’d have to say goodbye.

I hate goodbyes.

[SIGHS]

You know what I need?
I need more hellos.

[DOORBELL BUZZES]

Snoopy, you finally got here.
We‘ve been expecting you.

Our whole family is eager
to see you again.

And I can hardly wait
to have you meet my cat.

You'll just love each other.
He's the sweetest thing.

I must be cracking up.

I can't sleep, and today
I even opened a can of dog food

and took it out to the doghouse
before I remembered he was gone.

I guess we all miss Snoopy.
I hope he's happy with Lila.

[BOTH SIGH]

Have you ever thought of getting
another dog, Charlie Brown?

No, never again.

I don‘t ever want to go through
such an ordeal again.

[WHISTLING]

[WHISTLING]

[THUDDING]

[GIBBERING]

[WHISTLING]

- Hey! He's backI
- Huh? I

- He's back.
- He's back.

- He's back.
- He's back.

[SINGING] Harmony is where it’s at

And where it’s at for you
Is where it’s at for us

Share and share alike
Is what it’s all about

And what it’s all about
Just makes it right to us

Partners, pals!
Comrades, chums!

Buddies to the end whatever comes

Me and you, a happy crew

Side by side we’re unified
And we will never be divided

Lose or win, sink or swim

We’re the best of buddies, Snoopy
We’re the best of buddies

We ‚re the best of buddies
Me and you

[SNAPPING]

Look at this, Charlie Brown.

"To Linus Van Pelt,
I expect my croquet set and chess set

returned forthwith in good order
and within five days,

or the matter will be turned over
to my attorney."

And mine says, he wants
the record collection back.

Mine says that since he gave me
nothing, I owe him nothing.

That does it, Charlie Brown!

He's your dog
and you're welcome to him.
