{Peanuts title card beside Schroeder, as he plays Bach's Prelude in C Major BWV 846, while Lucy leans against the piano}
{Schroeder has finished playing Bach's Prelude}
Lucy: Schroeder, do piano players make a lot of money?
Schroeder: MONEY?
{Schroeder's yell made Lucy start tumbling down}
Schroeder: Who cares about money?! This is ART, you blockhead!
Schroeder: This is great music I'm playing, and playing great music is AN ART!! Do you hear me?! AN ART!
{Schroeder starts going all mad and bangs his piano like Don Music would}
Schroeder: ART! ART! ART! ART! ART!
SFX: WHAM WHAM WHAM WHAM WHAM
Lucy: {to Schroeder} Then sing me a song, Mr. Piano Man!

The author writes:

Sing us a song, Schroeder, you're the piano man. Lucy's in the mood for a melody, and you've got her feeling alright.
