Highly quotable.

I just can't eat that many peas.

Look, all I'm sayin' is give peas a chance.

The premise

Here’s the bit.

Miss Piddlin, the cafeteria's pea-pushing lunch lady, happily heaps peas on a student's tray and announces that all children love them. When the boy nervously confesses that he can only eat so many, she turns indignant, declares that nobody in the room deserves peas, and then softens into a plea that becomes a Lennon-style protest song. Waving her ladle like a conductor, she gets students and even the janitor swaying through the chorus as the lunchroom turns into a pea rally.
