Chapter 14 - The Second Attempt
Cut to somewhere deep in the forest, we find a weary and determined Prince Klaus resting in the grassy floor with his horse as he think about Snow White.
Duck [voice over: Meanwhile, deep in the woods, a weary Prince Klaus rest in a grassy area. Resting for the night and also dream about finding his beloved Snow White.
Prince Klaus: Oh Snow White, I'll find you one day and then we're lived happily ever after. That I promise you.
Cut to the cottage, Snow White is sleeping peacefully in the sleeper sofa also dreaming about uniting with her prince.
Duck [voice over: Back at the cottage, Snow White also dreaming about living happily ever after. But happily ever after have to wait a little while longer.
Fade to the secret laboratory, Queen Hilda cleaning a poisoned golden comb with jewels as she plan her next attempt on Snow White's life. Pig-Pen sings the second verse of "You're a Evil One, My Dear Queen".
Duck [voice over: They're still Queen Hilda to deal with and she's cooking up a plot to rid herself of Snow White, once and for all.
Queen Hilda: [to the Narrator] You ain't whistling Dixie about that my friend.
Pig-Pen (singing): You're a wicked one, my dear queen. You got spiders in your smile.
You have all the tender figure of a seasick crocodile, my dear queen.
Giving the option between the two of you, I'll take the… seasick crocodile!
You're a scoundrel, my dear queen.
The queen of vengeful thoughts.
You're heart is like unwashed socks with dirty brownish spot, my dear queen.
You're a three decker toadstool and ghost pepper hero sandwich with tartar sauce.
The second verse ended as Queen Hilda finished her latest handiwork.
Queen Hilda: At last, the means to rid myself of Snow White, forevermore. Be hold.
Pig-Pen: A comb?
Queen Hilda: This ain't no ordinary comb. On the outside it look pretty but once it touches someone hair…. Instant death. Hahahah! Tomorrow, Snow White will breathe her last. Make no mistake about that!
Fade to black and fade out of black towards the cottage the very next day, we find Snow White happily during her housework unaware of the danger that awaits her.
It was last afternoon when Queen Hilda, disguised as a gypsy woman, arrived at the cottage to put her latest plan in motion.
Queen Hilda as Gypsy Woman: Good wares to sell! good wares to sell!
Snow White open the window and reply
Snow White: Go away, I must not let anybody in.
Queen Hilda as Gypsy Woman: But you are not forbidden to look.
She took out the poisoned comb and holding it up.
Snow White is bewildered by the sight of the comb and almost tempted to open the door but hesitant.
Snow White: No, no, I can't let you in. I have a bad experience a few days back in.
Queen Hilda as Gypsy Woman: Understandable. You can't be too careful among strangers. You never know what their true intentions are. Anyway would you like to buy this comb? Your Fiancé will find you more beautiful with it on.
Snow White: How do you know about my prince?
The gypsy woman pull out a crystal ball and reveal Prince Klaus in the woods desperately looking for her.
Gypsy Woman: How do I know? (Holding out her crystal ball) glares at my crystal ball and see for yourself.
Snow White: It him, it really him.
Gypsy Woman: Yes and he'll be here soon to take you away to his castle so the two of you will live happily ever after together. Now would you like the comb?
Snow White: Yes, yes.
Snow White open the door and when the bargain was made.
Once inside the Queen made her more.
Gypsy Woman: Now, for once, your hair shall be properly combed. So that you look beautiful when your prince come and see you.
No sooner than the comb hit Snow White's hair the poison began to work, and the poor girl fell down senseless.
Gypsy Woman: Now, you paragon of beauty, this the end of you. Hahahahaha.
The disguised queen exit the house and the moment she did. The peanuts gang spotted her leaving.
Charlie Brown: Hey, who are you?
Lucy: And what are doing in our house?
Realizing the jig is up, the disguised queen fled the scene.
Sally: She's getting away!
Charlie Brown: No she's not. Sally, Linus, Schroeder. We're check on Snow White. Lucy, take Peppermint Patty, and Snoopy and go after that woman!
Charlie Brown, Sally, Linus, and Schroeder run towards the cottage to check on Snow White while Lucy, Peppermint Patty, and Snoopy pursue the gypsy woman, the disguised queen.
Snoopy's aggressive barking can be heard as he, Peppermint Patty, and Lucy pursue the trespasser. The queen look aghast as she sees her pursuers gaining on her. She manages to lose them when she swiftly climb up a tree.
The three pursuing peanuts look around for a few moments to see if they can spot the trespasser. Slowly afterward, the Queen quickly snicker to herself as the three friends call it quits and return back to the cottage. No sooner after that, the Queen climbed down from the tree, ditched her disguise and headed back to her castle.
Back at the cottage, the seven friends saw Snow White on the floor as she was dead. Suddenly Sally saw something on Snow White's hair.
Sally: Hey, what this?
Sally remove the comb from the princess's hair. No sooner after she did that, the princess slowly came to her senses.
Snow White: Oh… what happened?
Charlie Brown: You tell us. Did someone been here while we'll away?
Peppermint Patty: It that Old Peddler Woman again?
Snow White: No. It's a gypsy woman. I brought a beautiful comb from her and… [notice the comb is gone] Where is it?
Sally (holding the poisoned comb): Here you go, I removed it from your hair.
Charlie Brown: Hold on, let me see that.
Sally gave the comb to her big brother. Charlie Brown sniffed the comb and noticed something odd about it and threw it in the fire.
Snow White: Hey!
Once the comb hit fire it evaporates into a black smoke with a skull image.
Linus: Poison! How did you know, Charlie Brown?
Charlie Brown: Call it a wild guess.
Peppermint Patty: Hmmm… first, a old Peddler woman tries to squeeze the life out of you and then a gypsy woman's gift in the form of a poisoned comb. I wonder if those two have any connection.
Suddenly, Schroeder randomly pointed out the obvious.
Schroeder: Maybe the old peddler woman and the gypsy are the Queen in disguise?
The realization sinks in on the others.
Charlie Brown: AAUGH! The two women that visited you must be no one else but your stepmother Queen Hilda.
All: QUEEN HILDA?
Linus: That means, she found Snow White at last.
Lucy: Good Grief! I knew this going to happen eventually.
Sally: What are we going to do about it? She may come back again.
Charlie Brown: Okay gang, listen up. Here what we must do.
Fade back to the executive office. Duck is slowly getting close to the end of his pitch as J.R. asks what happens next.
J.R.: Yeah, yeah, then what happen?
Duck: Page 60. Back at the castle on the east side of the forest….
Fade into Queen Hilda's chambers, the confident queen consults with her looking glass.
Queen Hilda: Looking glass upon the wall, who's now is the fairest of them all?
Pig-Pen appears looking slightly annoyed but answer the question regardless.
Pig-Pen: Queen, you're a beauty rare. But Snow White, living in the cottage of the seven peanuts, is a thousand times more fair.
The latest answer from Pig-Pen exceeds the limitation of the Queen's medication and decided that her stepdaughter must die, no matter the circumstances.
Queen Hilda: WHAT? AGAIN? No more, do you hear. No more Ms. Nice Queen! Snow White shall die, though it should cost me my own life.
She went to her secret laboratory deep within the castle and there the queen went to work on formulating her third and final attempt on Snow White's life while Duck narrates the next scene.
Duck [voice over: And then she went into her secret laboratory deep within the castle and there she made a poisonous apple. It was beautiful to look upon, being white with red cheeks, so that any one who should see it must long for it, but whoever ate even a little bit of it must die. When the apple was ready she painted her face and disguise herself as a farmer's daughter and soon set out to once again try to do away with Snow White.
As Queen Hilda dressing up for her third and final attempt, Pig-Pen sings the third and final verse of "You're a Evil One, My Dear Queen".
Pig-Pen [singing: You disgust me, my dear queen
With a nasty super "naus"!
You're a cocky curvy cowgirl and you drive a jealous hoss, my dear queen.
Your spirit is a mountain of garbage overflowing with the most despicable pile of travesty imaginable
Mashed up in mangled, tangled up knots.
You're a mean one, my dear queen.
You're a scandalous filthy skunk.
Your heart like a iceberg and your soul is full of dump, my dear queen.
The three ways to describe you are as follows as I quote… Wretch, shrew, chump.
The song ends as the Queen, disguised as a farmer's daughter, live through a secret exit as she embarks on her third and final attempt on Snow White's life. Much of the dismay of the looking glass.
Chapter 14 ends.
