I got the eggs, sir.

Just like you asked.

Great. Come on in, Marcie.

But please quit calling me sir.

I'll show you how we color eggs.

You get the eggs ready and I'll mix up all the colors.

We've got another one of those great holidays coming up

where boys have the opportunity

to give presents to pretty girls.

You know, big bags of candy

and eggs and all sorts of things.

It's a great time of the year

to start getting things.

It's not a time for getting.

It's a time of renewal.

The start of spring.

Wrong.

It's the gift-getting season.

What's the matter with you?

All you think about is "Gimme, gimme, gimme."

"Get, get, get."

That's called survival, baby.

It's almost Easter and I have nothing to wear.

Look at these shoes.

How can I celebrate Easter properly in these shoes?

We're on our way to the store.

We gotta get ready for Easter.

You know, we need Easter baskets

eggs, candy, the works.

Wanna join us?

I told you it's a waste of time.

The Easter Beagle does all that.

Ooh, Linus, you drive me crazy!

Easter Beagle?

Sure, Sally.

We don't need to go to all this trouble.

On Easter Sunday, the Easter Beagle

passes colored eggs to all the good little kids.

The Easter Beagle?

Are you sure, Linus?

Of course.

Come on, Sally.

I thought you wanted to get some new shoes.

[instrumental music]

Hey! It's Chuck and his team.

Hi, Chuck. What are you up to?

We're here to get some eggs to color for Easter.

Marcie here fried the last batch.

This kid isn't quite with it, Chuck.

I think it's a waste of time to buy and color eggs

'cause the Easter Beagle will do all that.

Hey, Chuck, what's all this about an Easter Beagle?

Has your friend here got all his marbles?

Well..

He did say "Beagle," didn't he?

Well, yeah.

Boy, Chuck, you sure have

some strange friends.

Well, come on, Chuck, let's go in and buy some eggs.

Easter Beagle indeed.

[instrumental music]

It's Easter, and they already have

the Christmas decorations up.

Good grief.

I can't believe it.

I told you, it's the gift-getting season.

Okay, you two, let's get on with it.

It's shoes you need, not hats.

Aren't those shoes almost out of date, Sally?

That's why they're on sale.

Besides, I like to be different, anyway.

Oh. Good grief. Oh.

Well, so long, Chuck.

It was sure nice shopping with ya.

We got ourselves another dozen eggs.

I gotta show Marcie how to color Easter eggs the right way.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

The Easter Beagle does all that.

Are you sure? Are you certain?

I'm positive.

Well, I don't know.

And now that I got my shoes, I feel better about everything.

Oh, good grief.

He's crazy, Sally.

There's no Easter Beagle!

Every Easter, the Easter Beagle comes

dancing along with his basket full of eggs

which he hands out to all the good little children.

That sounds faintly familiar.

I remember sitting out in a stupid pumpkin patch all night

waiting for the Great Pumpkin to come.

That was the worst night of my life.

This is different. That was Halloween.

This is Easter.

Well, I don't know.

I really want to believe you

because I like you and I really respect you.

But I just don't know.

The Easter Beagle will never let you down.

I know he won't, but how about you?

Hi. Where are you two going in such a hurry?

We keep running out of eggs!

I'm still trying to show Marcie here

how to color eggs for Easter Sunday.

You're making a mistake.

All this is a waste of time.

The Easter Beagle will take care of it all.

- Really? - Sure.

On Easter Sunday, the Easter Beagle

brings eggs to all the little children.

Sir, is this right?

Perhaps we don't have to go through all the trouble

of making colored eggs

if this Easter Beagle is going to do it.

Look, I'm having enough trouble

without your fantastic stories.

Come on, Marcie!

Let's go get another dozen eggs.

It's a waste of time.

We're going in to get some more eggs.

Look, Marcie. Here's old Snoopy.

You don't mind if he joins us, do ya?

He's a cool kid.

Old Snoop won't get in the way. Right, Snoop?

Now, look, kid, these eggs are not to be fried

nor are they to be roasted

toasted or waffled.

- Yes, sir. - These eggs got to be boiled.

You boil 'em, and then I'll show you how to paint 'em.

Yes, sir.

I'll boil 'em, sir, then, you'll paint 'em.

[whistling]

[water gurgling]

When the water comes to a boil, let me know.

Put the eggs in now.

Okay, sir. In they go.

Okay, sir.

- All the eggs are in. - Good, Marcie.

Let 'em boil a good long time

and then I'll show you how to paint 'em.

[water gurgling]

They look done, sir. Wanna look at 'em?

'Okay, Marcie, let me look.'

That's funny.

It smells like soup.

Oh!

Marcie! You've made egg soup!

[screaming]

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

We've ruined three dozen eggs

and we don't have any colored yet.

I've run out of money

and I can't buy anymore eggs.

How am I gonna teach my friend here

about Easter and coloring eggs

when I can't get any eggs to color?

Don't worry about it.

The Easter Beagle will come and you'll see.

He'll bring Easter eggs to all the little kids.

Kid, I hope you're right.

I don't want my little friend here to be disappointed.

She won't be.

On Easter Sunday, the Easter Beagle

will brighten everyone's day.

Everyone will be filled with great warmth

and friendship.

[instrumental music]

It's really a waste of time.

The Easter Beagle does that.

Leave me alone.

Don't bother me with your stupid ideas.

Easter is very simple.

You paint the eggs..

...you hide the eggs..

...and you find the eggs.

And you know who's going to find the eggs?

Me. Because I'm the one who's going to hide them.

[instrumental music]

Well, Marcie, I'm really sorry.

Here it is, Easter morning

and we don't have any colored eggs.

I'm the one who's sorry, sir.

I guess I'm not much of a cook.

I've seen this happen on holidays before.

You look forward to being real happy

and then something happens that spoils it all.

You've done it again, haven't you?

I've been sitting here since dawn

waiting for the Easter Beagle!

Where is he?

I don't know why I always listen to you!

I never learn!

You said the Easter Beagle was coming!

Well, where is he?

I know why they have holidays.

They have holidays so people

can get together and have fun.

So why am I alone?

This is going to be

the greatest Easter egg-hunt ever

and I'm going to find them all.

I'm the laughing stock of the neighborhood!

You've made a fool of me!

Why do I always listen to you?

"Trust me," you said.

"Trust me. Trust me."

Now, I've been burned again.

Never trust a man with a blanket!

Get me my lawyer!

I've been humiliated!

[instrumental music]

Is it? It is!

He's coming! He's coming!

The Easter Beagle is coming!

[music continues]

Thank you, Easter Beagle. Thank you!

Thank you very, very much.

Thank you.

See? Linus was right.

There is an Easter Beagle.

Some Easter Beagle.

He gave me my own egg!

What do we do with Easter eggs

now that we have them, sir?

We eat them.

We put a little salt on 'em and we eat them.

Tastes terrible, sir.

[instrumental music]

Still moping? I can't believe it.

But that was almost ten weeks ago.

I can't help it.

I'll never get over it. Never!

Well, why don't you go over

and talk it over or something?

I guess I will.

Alright, beagle. Come down and we'll have it out.

Come on, beagle. Put up your dukes.

The Easter Beagle.
