Lucy snatches the football away from Charlie Brown causing him to fly up in the air and shout "AAUGH!" Charlie, however, continues to fall upwards. He says "haha yes, it is finally happening..." Lucy looks on in disbelief. Charlie rises and says "I am ascending to the realm of God to take my fated plave at his right hand." As he rockets into the stratosphere he shouts "this is the reward for my endless suffering! This is my reward!!"
