* HairTriggerTemper: Lucy slugs Linus just in case her brother was thinking something unflattering about her.
-->'''Schroeder:''' We'll all die someday, Charlie Brown. Maybe that won't be the end of it. Maybe we'll get to see each other once we do die.\\
'''Linus:''' I suppose that depends on us all ending up in the same place.\\
(Lucy hauls off and knocks him off his pins.)\\
'''Charlie:''' What'd you do that for?\\
'''Lucy:''' (huffing) Well, when he starts making comments about not all of us being in the same place when we die, I'm sure he was thinking about maybe me being in someplace other than where he expects to go!\\
'''Charlie:''' Oh, Lucy. It's maybe the last day before we have to start aging, and get on with our lives, and you want to celebrate by slugging your brother.\\
'''Lucy:''' How would it be if I slugged you?
* {{Hammerspace}}: All of sudden, Lucy pulls a football out of nowhere. Charlie bluntly asks where she got it from, but Lucy dismisses his question.
-->"Charlie Brownnnn," called Lucy, ominously.\\
He looked in her direction.\\
She was holding a football.\\
"Where'd you get that?" he asked, wonderingly.\\
"That isn't important."
* HiddenHeartOfGold: Lucy's good side is ''real'' well-hidden, but it exists. She's the one who reminds Charlie that his baseball team always stayed with him.
* IKnowYouKnowIKnow: Lucy goads Charlie Brown into trying to kick the ball, knowing he knows she'll pull the ball away again.
* MissingMom: Patty's mom left her family some years ago, and Patty tried to help her father move forward.
* NiceGuy: Charlie Brown is too nice for his own well. He humors Lucy when she wants to pull the [[https://peanuts.fandom.com/wiki/Football_gag Football gag]] for the last time, only to make her happy.
-->'''Patty:''' That was a very nice thing you did for her, Chuck. Stupid, but very nice.
* OneOfTheBoys: Patty confesses she could never be like the Little Red-Haired Girl because she can't ''not'' be a loud, sport-loving tomboy.
* OneSteveLimit: Averted with Patty and Peppermint Patty. The narrator has to specify when it's plain Patty speaking.
* TheOneThatGotAway: Charlie Brown finally ran out of chances to introduce himself to the Little Red-Haired Girl.
* RageAgainstTheHeavens: Deconstructed by Linus, who states they can't make demands of God or Charles Schulz, and Lucy's whining is just childish and ridiculous.
-->'''Lucy:''' "IT AIN'T FAIR! Nobody asked US about it!"\\
'''Patty:''' (disgusted) "Nobody ever asked you if you wanted to get born, either, Lucy. Or if you want to die."\\
'''Lucy:''' "Well, let me put my answers forth right now, so you can record them. One, I wanted to get born, despite having to put up with my brother here. Two, I don't want to die. That's IT. We will not compromise on those demands."\\
'''Linus:''' "You can't make demands of God, Lucy. Or of him."
* RidingIntoTheSunset: As the sun is setting, all characters say their goodbyes to Charlie one after another and then leave.
-->Patty took one step, then another, and others in succession, over the field as the shadows lengthened and the sun's corona was barely visible in the distance.
* ThrowTheDogABone:
** Double subversion. Lucy assures this time she'll let Charlie Brown kick the ball... and as always, she pulls it away. Nonetheless, aware that Charlie ''knew'' what she would pull it away and he still humored her out of kindness, Lucy decides to be nice to him for once and she kisses him on the nose.
** Shortly before she made him realize that his baseball team stuck by him through thick and thin.
** At the end, Charlie and Peppermint Patty agree to keep hanging out together. Charlie never got the Little Red-Head Girl, but he's still loved.
* UndyingLoyalty: Lucy, of all people, points out that Charlie's baseball team ''always'' stayed with him, even if they hardly won any games.
* WithFriendsLikeThese: Even though it's their last day together, Lucy and Violet still feel the need to casually put Charlie Brown down.
