Transcript

Lucy gazes at herself in a mirror. She asks, "...Who is the crabbiest of us all?"<BR><BR> Lucy walks up to Linus, who is sitting in front of the TV. She says, "I have a question.." Linus responds, "I'm watching TV!"<BR><BR> Lucy asks, "Do you think I'm crabby?" Linus answers, "Of course! You're probably the most crabby person the world has ever known!"<BR><BR> Lucy suggests, "Some people are up one day and down the next...you never know how to take them...you wouldn't want me to be like that, would you?"<BR><BR> Lucy opens her arms and adds, "And who can be pleasant all the time? No one can be pleasant all the time...what do you expect of me?"<BR><BR> They are both profiled in silhouette. Linus says, "I don't expect anything of you."<BR><BR> Out of silhouette now, Lucy frowns: "You're no help at all!"<BR><BR> They sit at a table. Linus holds a pencil and considers a piece of paper he holds: "All right, how about this? How about a year's schedule which gives you two hundred pleasant day, one hundred 'really up' days, sixty crabby days, and five 'really down' days? I could live with that, I think..."<BR><BR> They face each other. Lucy asks, "Can we call today one of the 'really down' days?" Linus ansers, "Sure..why not?" [PANEL 10]:POW!! Lucy knocks Linus backwards into the air.<BR><BR> PANEL 11:Lucy walks away, saying, "This is going to be great..I still have four 'really down' days left, and I haven't even touched my sixty crabby days..." Linus lies on the floor, dazed and bruised.<BR><BR>
