Transcript:

Patty approaches Charlie Brown sitting behind a table (with a slip of paper on it)with a pencil tucked behind his ear and holding a box. He shows the box to her and says, “If I can save two-thousand of these box tops, I get a tricycle!”

She sits on the opposite side of the table and watches him write. He continues, “I’ve got it all figured out…I eat about one box of this stuff every week…”

They walk off as he looks at the paper and continues, “That means I’ll have enough box tops by the time I’m forty!”

They stop, and he concludes, “But what am I going to do with a tricycle when I’m forty years old?”
