Profanity report:

A boy named Charlie Brown 1969

AREN'T THE CLOUDS

BEAUTIFUL?

THEY LOOK LIKE

BIG BALLS OF COTTON.

I COULD JUST

LIE HERE ALL DAY

AND WATCH THEM

DRIFT BY.

IF YOU USE

YOUR IMAGINATION,

YOU COULD SEE

LOTS OF THINGS

IN THE CLOUD

FORMATIONS.

WHAT DO YOU THINK

YOU SEE, LINUS?

WELL, THOSE CLOUDS

UP THERE LOOK TO ME

LIKE THE MAP OF

THE BRITISH HONDURAS

ON THE CARIBBEAN.

THAT CLOUD UP THERE

LOOKS A LITTLE

LIKE THE PROFILE

OF THOMAS EAKINS,

THE FAMOUS PAINTER

AND SCULPTOR.

AND THAT GROUP OF CLOUDS

OVER THERE

GIVES ME THE IMPRESSION

OF THE STONING OF STEPHEN.

I CAN SEE

THE APOSTLE PAUL

STANDING THERE

TO ONE SIDE.

UH-HUH.

THAT'S VERY GOOD.

WHAT DO YOU SEE

IN THE CLOUDS,

CHARLIE BROWN?

WELL,

I WAS GOING TO SAY

I SAW A DUCKY

AND A HORSY,

BUT I CHANGED MY MIND.

[tree creaking]

* LIKE THE SHADOWS

OF MORNING *

* CLIMB UP

TO THE AUGUST AFTERNOON *

* CHARLIE HAS A WAY

* OF PICKING UP THE DAY

* JUST BY WALKING SLOWLY

IN A ROOM *

* MAYBE IT'S A KIND OF MAGIC

* THAT ONLY LITTLE BOYS

CAN DO *

* BUT SEEING CHARLIE SMILE

* CAN MAKE YOU STOP AWHILE

* AND GET YOU FEELING GLAD

YOU'RE YOU *

[wind howling]

[kite creaking]

* HE'S ONLY A BOY

NAMED CHARLIE *

* A BOY NAMED CHARLIE BROWN

* HE'S JUST A KID NEXT DOOR

* PERHAPS A LITTLE MORE

* HE'S EVERY KID

IN EVERY TOWN *

* THE WORLD IS FULL

OF LOTS OF PEOPLE *

* HERE AND THERE

AND ALL AROUND *

* BUT PEOPLE, AFTER ALL

* START OUT AS BEING SMALL

* AND WE'RE ALL A BOY NAMED

* CHARLIE BROWN *

[screeching]

[screeching]

I'LL NEVER BE ABLE

TO GET THIS KITE IN THE AIR.

NEVER! NEVER!

NEVER! NEVER!

I CAN'T DO IT.

I CAN'T DO IT.

I DON'T WANT

TO SEE THIS KITE AGAIN

AS LONG AS I LIVE.

TAKE IT. TAKE IT.

GET IT OUT OF MY SIGHT!

ANYBODY WHO CAN

FLY THIS KITE

IS A GENIUS.

(Charlie)

MY HEART IS FULL

ON THE DAY I FIRST GO OUT

TO THE OLD BALL FIELD.

I LOVE THE MEMORIES.

I LOVE THE SMELL

OF THE HORSEHIDE.

[sniffing]

I LOVE THE SMELL

OF THE GRASSY OUTFIELD

AND THE DUSTY INFIELD.

THE HOPES AND THE DREAMS

FOR THE NEW SEASON.

AH, THERE IT IS,

THE OLD PITCHER'S MOUND,

COVERED WITH TRADITION

AND DANDELIONS.

DANDELIONS?

THIS PITCHER'S MOUND

IS COVERED WITH DANDELIONS!

(Frieda)

DON'T TOUCH THEM,

CHARLIE BROWN!

DON'T YOU DARE HURT

ALL THOSE

INNOCENT DANDELIONS.

THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL.

DON'T YOU DARE

CUT THEM DOWN.

BESIDES,

YOU MAY NOT KNOW IT,

BUT YOU LOOK KIND OF CUTE

STANDING THERE

SURROUNDED BY DANDELIONS.

I DON'T WANT TO LOOK CUTE.

[clattering]

*[drums rolling]

*[Star-Spangled Banner

playing on record player]

[clattering]

[spitting]

ALL RIGHT,

CHARLIE BROWN,

LET'S GET

OUR SIGNALS STRAIGHT.

1 FINGER WILL MEAN

THE HIGH STRAIGHT BALL.

2 FINGERS WILL MEAN

THE LOW STRAIGHT BALL.

WHAT ABOUT MY CURVEBALL,

AND MY SLIDER

AND MY KNUCKLE BALL,

AND MY SIDEARM,

AND MY SUBMARINE PITCH?

1 FINGER WILL MEAN

THE HIGH STRAIGHT BALL.

AND 2 FINGERS WILL MEAN

THE LOW STRAIGHT BALL.

HEY, WHAT'S THIS?

WHAT IN THE WORLD

ARE ALL THESE

DANDELIONS DOING

ON THE PITCHER'S MOUND?

THEY GREW THERE

AND THE GIRLS

ON OUR TEAM

WON'T LET ME

CUT 'EM DOWN.

THEY SAY THEY'RE PRETTY

AND THEY SAY I LOOK CUTE

STANDING HERE AMONG THEM.

THEY'RE RIGHT.

YOU DO LOOK KIND OF CUTE

STANDING THERE.

[grunts]

[grunts]

CHARLIE BROWN,

CHARLIE BROWN,

IT'S TAKING YOU

TOO LONG

TO GET DRESSED

AFTER EVERY PITCH.

IF YOU CAN'T GET DRESSED

A LITTLE FASTER,

WE'LL NEVER GET THROUGH

THE FIRST INNING.

(Lucy)

WAIT.

HMM.

BRUSH THIS GUY BACK,

CHARLIE BROWN.

GIVE HIM

THE OLD BEAN BALL.

NO, I CAN'T DO THAT,

IT WOULDN'T BE RIGHT.

"IT WOULDN'T BE RIGHT"?

LISTEN WHO'S GONE MORAL

ON US ALL OF A SUDDEN.

OLD WISHY-WASHY

HERE IS TOO MORAL

TO THROW A BEAN BALL.

WHAT ABOUT THE WAY

THE EARLY SETTLERS

TREATED THE INDIANS?

YEAH AND WHAT ABOUT

THOSE AWFUL MOVIE ADS?

WHAT ABOUT

THE CHILDREN'S CRUSADE?

WAS THAT MORAL?

DO YOU THINK

THAT INCIDENT

AT HARPER'S FERRY

WAS CONSISTENT

WITH MORALITY?

DO YOU CALL THAT

MORALITY?

DEFINE MORALITY.

OUR WHOLE SYSTEM

OF FREEWAYS

IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE

OF WHAT I'M TRYING

TO SAY.

HAVE YOU LISTENED

TO THE RADIO LATELY?

(Pigpen)

HOW ABOUT THIS WHOLE

CONSERVATION SITUATION?

WE NEVER WIN

ANY BALL GAMES,

BUT WE SURE HAVE

SOME INTERESTING DISCUSSIONS.

[grunts]

WHAT HAPPENED?

CHARLIE BROWN

GOT HIT

BY A LINE DRIVE.

DOES ANYONE HERE

KNOW ANYTHING

ABOUT FIRST AID?

IT'S PROBABLY

NOT SERIOUS,

SECOND OR THIRD AID

WILL DO.

HERE, RUN OVER TO

THE DRINKING FOUNTAIN

AND SOAK

THIS HANDKERCHIEF

IN COLD WATER.

YOU'RE KIDDING.

WITH A HEAD LIKE

CHARLIE BROWN'S,

YOU'LL NEED

A BED SHEET.

I'M DYING

AND ALL I HEAR

ARE INSULTS.

WHAT HAPPENED?

YOU GOT HIT

ON THE HEAD

WITH A LINE DRIVE,

CHARLIE BROWN.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT.

I USED TO BE

ABLE TO DODGE

THOSE LINE DRIVES.

WHEN YOU GET OLD,

YOUR REFLEXES

REALLY SLOW DOWN.

[ball whizzing]

[ball whizzing]

[ball whizzing]

[ball whizzing]

[yawning]

[all wailing]

(Charlie)

WELL, WE LOST THE FIRST GAME

OF THE SEASON AGAIN.

I SHOULDN'T LET IT

BOTHER ME, BUT IT DOES.

WE ALWAYS SEEM TO LOSE

THE FIRST GAME OF THE SEASON

AND THE LAST GAME

OF THE SEASON.

AND ALL THOSE STUPID GAMES

IN BETWEEN!

(Charlie)

IN THE BIG LEAGUES,

THE BALLPLAYERS

GET SENT TO THE SHOWERS.

I GET SENT TO TAKE A BATH.

NOTHING EVER SEEMS

TO GO RIGHT FOR ME.

I CAN'T FLY A KITE

AND I LOSE

EVERY BALLGAME I PLAY IN.

I JUST CAN'T SEEM

TO DO ANYTHING RIGHT.

HI, CHARLIE BROWN.

YOU'RE DEPRESSED,

AREN'T YOU?

I SUPPOSE YOU FORGOT

WE LOST ANOTHER BALL GAME.

I DID NOT.

TODAY'S GAME MADE

OUR 99TH STRAIGHT LOSS

WITHOUT A WIN.

THAT WASN'T

A VERY GOOD GAME TODAY,

CHARLIE BROWN.

I KNOW IT.

I'M GETTING TIRED

OF LOSING

ALL THESE BALL GAMES.

AND THIS WAS GOING

TO BE OUR BIG YEAR.

THE YEAR

WHEN IT LOOKED LIKE

WE MIGHT EVEN SCORE

OUR FIRST RUN.

I THINK

IT WOULD BE KIND OF FUN

TO WIN ONCE IN A WHILE.

WINNING ISN'T

EVERYTHING.

BUT LOSING

ISN'T ANYTHING.

LOOK AT IT THIS WAY,

CHARLIE BROWN.

WE LEARN MORE FROM LOSING

THAN WE DO FROM WINNING.

I GUESS THAT MAKES ME

THE SMARTEST PERSON

IN THE WHOLE WORLD.

I THINK YOU JUST

TALK YOURSELF

INTO BEING A LOSER,

CHARLIE BROWN.

I REALLY DON'T BELIEVE

IN THIS BUSINESS

OF SOME PEOPLE

BEING BORN LOSERS.

IF YOU KEEP ON

DOING DIFFERENT THINGS,

YOU'RE GOING TO WIN

JUST AS MUCH

AS ANYONE ELSE.

JUST KEEP TRYING,

CHARLIE BROWN.

DON'T GIVE UP.

YOU'LL WIN YOUR SHARE

OF BALL GAMES.

I JUST DON'T THINK

IT'S POSSIBLE

FOR SOMEONE TO LOSE

EVERYTHING ALL THE TIME.

ONE OF THESE DAYS,

YOU'LL WIN.

[can opener creaking]

[sniffing]

[gulping]

[sighing]

[yawning]

*[music playing]

[engine whirring]

[banging on door]

[snoring]

WHY CAN'T I HAVE

AN ORDINARY DOG

LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE?

[exclaims]

(Charlie)

SOMETIMES I GET

SO DISCOURAGED

THAT I CAN HARDLY STAND IT.

THE HARDER I TRY,

THE WORSE I GET.

PERHAPS I SHOULD SEEK

PROFESSIONAL HELP.

I THINK I NEED HELP.

HMM.

EVERYTHING I DO

TURNS TO FAILURE.

I GUESS YOU KNOW

I'VE NEVER SUCCEEDED

AT ANYTHING

IN MY WHOLE LIFE.

CHARLIE BROWN, IT'S TRUE.

I RECOGNIZE YOUR FRAILTIES,

YOUR WEAKNESSES.

YOU NEED ME

TO POINT OUT YOUR FAULTS,

CHARLIE BROWN.

IT'S FOR YOUR OWN GOOD.

BESIDES, I CAN DO IT

FOR YOU BETTER THAN

ANYONE ELSE.

MY SYSTEM IS UNIQUE.

WHAT'S SO UNIQUE

ABOUT IT?

COME IN AND SIT DOWN,

CHARLIE BROWN.

I'LL EXPLAIN

MY UNIQUE SYSTEM.

MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME,

CHARLIE BROWN.

I'LL SET UP MY EQUIPMENT.

SEE WHAT I'VE DONE?

I'VE PUT ALL OF

YOUR FAULTS ON SLIDES.

WE'RE GOING TO

PROJECT YOUR FAULTS

ONTO A SCREEN.

GOOD GRIEF,

PROJECT MY FAULTS

ONTO A SCREEN?

NOW,

WATCH CAREFULLY.

HERE WE SEE YOUR FAILURE

TO OBSERVE THE WORLD

IN UPRIGHT POSITION.

HERE WE SEE YOUR

LACK OF COORDINATION,

CHARLIE BROWN.

[projector clicking]

AND HERE WE SEE

YOUR LACK OF STYLE.

NOW, ON TO

YOUR PHYSICAL FAULTS.

THESE SLIDES WILL SHOW

YOUR TENDENCY

TOWARDS FATNESS.

LOOK AT THAT STOMACH.

EVEN YOUR NOSE IS FAT,

AND YOUR LEGS.

WHY, I'LL BET

IF THE TRUTH WERE KNOWN,

EVEN YOUR TOES ARE FAT.

NOW, WE'RE REALLY GOING

TO GET DOWN TO BUSINESS.

THE NEXT BATCH OF SLIDES

WILL SHOW

YOUR BIGGEST

AND MOST DAMAGING FAULTS.

THESE COULD TAKE

ABOUT AN HOUR TO SHOW.

[clicking]

UH...

[stuttering]

NO, NO.

UGH. TURN IT OFF!

I CAN'T STAND IT

ANY LONGER!

I CAN'T STAND TO WATCH!

I CAN'T STAND IT!

I CAN'T STAND IT!

ONE MOMENT THERE,

CHARLIE BROWN.

RELAX HERE A WHILE,

CHARLIE BROWN.

WE'LL SOLVE THIS

PROBLEM TOGETHER.

THE WAY I SEE IT,

YOUR PROBLEM IS

ONE OF EMOTIONS.

WHEN YOU HAVE

EMOTIONAL PROBLEMS,

IT IS USUALLY BECAUSE

YOU HAVE NO OUTLETS.

YOU NEED

EMOTIONAL OUTLETS.

I NEED

EMOTIONAL OUTLETS.

WHAT KIND OF

EMOTIONAL OUTLETS

WOULD YOU SUGGEST?

THIS FOOTBALL

IS A PERFECT ANSWER.

THERE IS NO BETTER

EMOTIONAL OUTLET

THAN KICKING A FOOTBALL.

TO SUM IT ALL UP

IN ONE PHRASE,

CHARLIE BROWN,

YOU COULD KICK AWAY

YOUR FAULTS.

BOY, YOU MUST THINK

I AM STUPID.

YOU JUST WANNA

HOLD THAT FOOTBALL

AND HAVE ME COME RUNNING AT

TO KICK AT IT

SO YOU CAN PULL IT AWAY

AND SEE ME FALL FLAT

ON MY BACK!

THE CURE IS UP TO YOU,

CHARLIE BROWN.

DO YOU WANNA KICK THE HABIT,

OR DON'T YOU.

PERHAPS YOU'D RATHER HAVE

ANOTHER VIEWING SESSION

OF ALL YOUR FAULTS

ON THOSE SLIDES.

ALL RIGHT! ALL RIGHT!

I'LL TRY IT!

I'LL TRY IT!

NO MORE SLIDES!

YOU WON'T

BE DISAPPOINTED,

CHARLIE BROWN.

THIS TIME I HAVE

A LITTLE EXTRA SURPRISE

AS A BONUS.

WHY, OH,

WHY DO I LET HER

DO THIS TO ME?

WHY? WHY?

MAYBE SHE'S RIGHT.

AFTER ALL

IF YOU CAN'T TRUST

YOUR OWN PSYCHIATRIST,

WHO CAN YOU TRUST?

THIS TIME

I'M REALLY GONNA KICK IT.

I'M GONNA KICK THE HABIT.

THIS IS THE END

OF ALL MY FAULTS.

[screaming]

AND NOW

FOR THE SURPRISE.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE

HOW IT LOOKED

ON INSTANT REPLAY?

*[humming]

INSTANT REPLAY?

[continues humming]

HEAR YOU ARE,

CHARLIE BROWN.

NOW I'M GOING

TO RUN THROUGH THIS

AT SLOW MOTION.

[videotape winding]

I THINK WE MUST

CAREFULLY ANALYZE

YOUR EVERY MOVE,

YOUR EVERY EXPRESSION.

*[Lucy humming]

SEE HOW ERRATIC

YOUR MOVEMENTS ARE?

LOOK AT YOUR FACE!

THOSE BAD PERSONALITY TRAITS

WE SPOKE ABOUT

STAND OUT CLEARLY.

NOW, SEE THE LOOK

OF DETERMINATION

ON YOUR FACE.

OH, SHAM,

CHARLIE BROWN.

A FAILURE FACE

IF I EVER SAW ONE.

IN TURN, SEE HOW BENIGN

AND COMPOSED

MY FACE IS,

CHARLIE BROWN.

AND YOUR CLUMSINESS,

CHARLIE BROWN.

SHALL WE RUN THROUGH IT

ONCE MORE AT NORMAL SPEED?

[videotape winding]

NO.

NO, I DON'T THINK SO.

I'VE NEVER GONE THROUGH

ANYTHING LIKE THAT

IN MY LIFE.

I NEVER KNEW

I COULD BE SO STUPID.

I NEVER KNEW

I HAD SO MANY FAULTS.

I NEVER FELT

SO COMPLETELY MISERABLE.

WAIT UNTIL YOU GET MY BILL.

THESE PSYCHIATRIC TREATMENTS

ARE GOING TO BANKRUPT ME.

GET UP, LINUS,

IT'S TIME TO GO TO SCHOOL.

AGAIN?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, AGAIN?

I WENT YESTERDAY.

MOM'S ALREADY

MADE YOUR LUNCH.

[sighing]

GUESS I MIGHT AS WELL

GO TO SCHOOL.

I CAN'T WASTE A GOOD LUNCH.

DO YOU HAVE TO DRAG

THAT STUPID BLANKET

TO SCHOOL EVERY DAY?

HOW WOULD YOU FEEL

IF PEOPLE CAME UP

TO YOU AND SAID:

"YOUR LITTLE BROTHER

DRAGS A BLANKET WITH HIM

WHEREVER HE GOES"?

THIS BLANKET

IS A NECESSITY.

IT KEEPS ME

FROM CRACKING UP.

IT COULD BE REGARDED

AS A SPIRITUAL TOURNIQUET.

WITHOUT THIS BLANKET,

I'D BE NOTHING.

A SHIP WITHOUT A RUDDER.

OH, GOOD GRIEF.

[sighing]

(Linus)

HEY, CHARLIE BROWN.

WAIT FOR ME.

YOU LOOK LIKE

YOU'VE BEEN TAKING

SHOCK TREATMENTS

OR SOMETHING.

WHAT'S MORE SHOCKING

THAN SEEING YOUR FAULTS

PROJECTED

ONTO A SCREEN?

LIFE IS DIFFICULT,

ISN'T IT,

CHARLIE BROWN?

YES, IT IS.

BUT I'VE DEVELOPED

A NEW PHILOSOPHY.

I ONLY DREAD ONE DAY

AT A TIME.

I FEEL TERRIBLE.

YOU CAN'T CONTINUE

CARRYING ON LIKE THIS,

CHARLIE BROWN.

[inaudible]

YOU'RE GOING

TO HAVE TO DO

SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE

TO WIN AT SOMETHING.

(Linus)

SOMETHING THAT WILL RESTORE

YOUR LOST SELF-CONFIDENCE.

HEY, CHARLIE BROWN!

THERE'S A SPELLING BEE

AT SCHOOL TODAY,

WHY DON'T YOU VOLUNTEER?

[laughing]

THAT'S A GOOD IDEA,

CHARLIE BROWN.

IF YOU WIN,

IT'LL SHOW EVERYBODY

THAT YOU'RE NOT

A BORN LOSER.

MAYBE YOU'RE RIGHT,

LINUS.

MAYBE I SHOULD VOLUNTEER.

YOU GO OUT

FOR THE SPELLING BEE?

[laughing]

CHARLIE BROWN,

YOU'LL JUST MAKE

A FOOL OF YOURSELF.

BESIDES THAT,

YOU'RE BOUND TO BE

A COMPLETE FAILURE.

(girls)

* YOU NEVER DO

ANYTHING RIGHT *

* YOU NEVER PUT ANYTHING

IN ITS PLACE *

* NO WONDER EVERYONE

CALLS YOU FAILURE FACE *

* YOU'RE SO IMPOSSIBLY DUMB

* IN HISTORY BOOKS YOUR NAME

THEY'LL ERASE *

* OR ELSE

THEY'RE BOUND TO CALL YOU

FAILURE FACE *

* AND IN THE RACE

TO BE STUPID *

* YOU'VE SET A BRAND NEW

KIND OF PACE *

* WE'D LIKE TO CHRISTEN YOU

CHARLIE FAILURE FACE *

[girls laughing]

BY GOLLY, I'LL SHOW 'EM.

I'LL SHOW 'EM

THAT I'M GOOD

AT SOMETHING.

BY GOLLY,

I'LL SHOW 'EM.

(Charlie)

MAYBE I WILL ENTER

THE SPELLING BEE.

THAT'S THE SORT

OF THING I NEED

TO GAIN CONFIDENCE

AND SELF-ESTEEM.

I THINK I'LL RAISE MY HAND

AND VOLUNTEER.

IT'LL BE GOOD FOR ME.

I THINK

I'LL JUST RAISE MY HAND

AND VOLUNTEER.

MY HAND WON'T GO UP.

MY HAND IS SMARTER

THAN I AM.

[teacher chattering]

YES, MA'AM.

WHAT AM I DOING?

AM I TALKING TO MYSELF?

YES, MA'AM.

I WAS TALKING TO MYSELF

ABOUT THE SPELLING BEE.

YES, MA'AM,

I'D LIKE TO BE

IN THE SPELLING BEE.

[whispering]

PSST, YOU'RE CRAZY,

DON'T DO IT.

YOU'LL JUST MAKE

A FOOL OUT OF YOURSELF.

I WILL NOT!

[teacher chattering]

EXCUSE ME, MA'AM.

I WAS ANSWERING

ONE OF MY MANY DETRACTORS.

(Charlie)

WELL, HERE I AM

IN THE FIRST ROUND

OF THE SPELLING BEE.

NOBODY THINKS I CAN WIN

THE CLASS SPELLING BEE,

BUT I'M GONNA SHOW 'EM.

I NOT ONLY KNOW

A LOT OF HARD WORDS,

BUT I KNOW

EVERY SPELLING RULE

IN THE BOOK.

THE ONLY ONE

I HAVE TROUBLE

REMEMBERING IS:

"I" BEFORE "E"

EXCEPT AFTER "D."

OR IS IT "E" BEFORE "I"

EXCEPT AFTER "G"?

I'VE GOT TO STAY CALM

AND NOT GET RATTLED.

THIS IS MY BIG CHANCE

TO PROVE TO EVERYONE

THAT I CAN DO SOMETHING.

I DON'T CARE

IF I DON'T ACTUALLY WIN.

ALL I WANT TO DO IS

GET PAST

THE FIRST FEW ROUNDS

AND MAKE A DECENT SHOWING.

LET'S SEE NOW,

HOW DOES THAT

SPELLING RULE GO?

HMM.

I GUESS I REALLY

DON'T HAVE TO WORRY.

ALL THE WORDS

IN THE FIRST ROUND

OF A SPELLING BEE

ARE USUALLY QUITE EASY.

IN A WAY,

I'D ALMOST LIKE TO START OFF

WITH A HARD ONE.

YOU KNOW,

KIND OF SHAKE UP

THE OTHER KIDS?

I FEEL STRANGELY CALM.

[teacher chattering]

OH-OH, HERE IT COMES.

IT'S MY TURN NEXT,

HERE'S MY FIRST WORD

OF THE SPELLING BEE.

[teacher chattering]

"FAILURE"? YES, MA'AM.

THAT'S AN EASY ONE.

BOY, THAT'S ONE WORD

HE SHOULD KNOW WELL.

FAILURE.

F-A-I-L-U-R-E. FAILURE.

I DID IT. I DID IT.

[teacher chattering]

OH-OH.

THAT KID HAS AN EASY ONE.

(child #1)

NEIGHBOR.

N-E-I-B-O-R. NEIGHBOR.

OH-OH.

HE'S OUT, HE MISSED IT.

NOW IT'S--

[teacher chattering]

THIS KID HAS A REAL EASY ONE.

HE'LL NEVER MISS IT.

THEN I'LL GET A HARD ONE

AND I'LL BE OUT. RATS.

(child #2)

CHARITIES. C-H-A-R

R-T-E-I-S.

CHARITIES.

HE MISSED IT. OH-OH.

I GUESS NOW IT'S UP TO ME.

IT'S SYDNEY OR THE BUSH.

[teacher chattering]

HERE IT IS.

YES, MA'AM,

THE WORD IS "INSECURE"?

YES, THAT'S A WORD

I'M WELL ACQUAINTED WITH.

CAN YOU IMAGINE?

OF COURSE

HE KNOWS THAT WORD.

IT'S HIS TRADEMARK.

INSECURE.

I-N-S-E-C-U-R-E. INSECURE.

[school bell ringing]

[children shouting]

BOY, YOU REALLY DID IT,

CHARLIE BROWN.

YOU ARE GREAT.

YOU'RE OUR CLASS CHAMPION.

YOU DIDN'T THINK

I COULD DO IT,

DID YOU?

BUT I DID IT.

AND TOMORROW

YOU'LL REPRESENT

OUR CLASS

IN THE ALL-SCHOOL

SPELLING BEE.

I'M GOING HOME

AND REALLY BEAR DOWN.

(Charlie)

I'M GOING TO STUDY

THE WHOLE DICTIONARY.

THIS IS ONE OF THE RULES

I MUST REMEMBER.

"'I' BEFORE 'E'

EXCEPT AFTER 'C'

"OR WHEN SOUNDED LIKE 'A'

LIKE IN NEIGHBOR OR WAY.

"WORDS ENDING IN 'I', 'E,'

"DROP THE 'E'

AND CHANGE THE 'I'

TO 'Y' BEFORE ADDING 'ING.'"

"'I' BEFORE 'E'

EXCEPT AFTER 'C.'"

LET'S SEE. "I" BEFORE "E"

EXCEPT AFTER "H."

NO, "I" AFTER "E"

AFTER "C."

"I" BEFORE "E" AFTER...

NO, "E" BEFORE "I"

AFTER "C."

"WHEN A WORD HAS

A 'C' FOR AN ENDING

LIKE 'FROLIC'"

OR "COLIC"?

..."OR 'COMIC' AND

'MIMIC' AND 'PICNIC',

YOU ALWAYS ADD A 'K'

BEFORE APPENDING."

HUH?

YOU KNOW, STICKING

AN "E" FOR "I" OR "Y."

OH, SURE.

"FOR EXAMPLE,

COLICKY, FROLICKER,

PICNICKER, MIMICKER."

AND HICKORY, DICKORY,

DOCKER.

ON THE OTHER HAND,

"IF SOFTNESS

IS MAINTAINED,"

PAGE 43,

"THEN 'E' MUST BE

RETAINED AFTER 'C.'"

YOU MEAN BEFORE

THE ENDING "ABLE"?

RIGHT, THAT KEEPS

THE SPELLING STABLE.

SO THAT'S WHY.

OF COURSE,

LET'S TRY.

(both)

"NOTICEABLE, SERVICEABLE,

EMBRACEABLE, REPLACEABLE,

PEACEABLE, ENFORCEABLE,

PRONOUNCEABLE, AND TRACEABLE."

"SLEIGH, STEIN,

FAHRENHEIT."

"EXCEPTING FIERY,

HIERARCHY, HIEROGLYPHIC."

(both)

"'E-I' IS ALSO USED

IN SPECIAL WORDS

THAT MERIT CAREFUL STUDY."

"E" BEFORE "I" AFTER "C."

"SEIZURE, LEISURE."

"SEIZE, STEIN, PROTEIN.

WEIRD, EITHER, NEITHER,

CODEINE, CAFFEINE."

"'SIEGE,' HOWEVER,

IS SPELLED 'I-E.'"

(both)

"OTHERWISE USE 'I-E' IN THIEF,

"BELIEVE, FIEND, NIECE,

FIELD, BRIEF, GRIEF

CASHIER, ACHIEVE, YIELD."

"ONLY ONE WORD

IN THE LANGUAGE

ENDS IN 'S-E-D-E'

"'SUPERSEDE'.

"3 OTHERS END

IN 'C-E-E-D'

EXCEED, PROCEED,

SUCCEED."

"ALL OTHERS END

IN 'C-E-D-E.'

"ACCEDE, CONCEDE,

INTERCEDE, PRECEDE,

RECEDE, SECEDE.

(Linus)

"E" BEFORE "I" AFTER "C."

(Charlie)

WHEN A WORD ENDS IN "C"

LIKE "FROLIC"

AND "PICNIC"

AND "MIMIC"

INSERT A "K"

BEFORE ADDING A SUFFIX.

(both)

BEGINNING WITH

"F," "I" OR "Y,"

"E-I" IS USED IMMEDIATELY

AFTER THE LETTER "C."

THE SINGLE EXCEPTION

IS "FINANCIER."

"E-I" IS USED IN WORDS

IN WHICH IT HAS

THE SOUND OF "A."

OR THE SOUND OF "I"

AS IN HEIGHT,

SLEIGH, STEIN, FAHRENHEIT.

"E-I" IS ALSO USED

IN SPECIAL WORDS.

LEISURE, SEIZURE,

SEIZE, SHEIK, PROTEIN."

"WEIRD, EITHER, NEITHER,

CODEINE, CAFFEINE."

USE "I-E" IN

THIEF, BELIEVE, FIEND, FIELD,

BRIEF, GRIEF,

YIELD, ACHIEVE, CASHIER.

EXCEPT AFTER "C"

AS IN EXCEED, PROCEED,

SUCCEED, ACCEDE,

CONCEDE, INTERCEDE,

PRECEDE, RECEDE, SECEDE.

(Charlie)

"I" BEFORE "E"

EXCEPT AFTER "C."

LET'S SEE, BEFORE "C"...

UH...

[teacher chattering]

DISSOLVE. D-I-S-O-L-V-E.

DISSOLVE.

THAT STUPID

CHARLIE BROWN.

HE'S GONNA GET IT

THIS TIME.

HE'S UP AGAINST

SOME OF THE BEST SPELLERS

IN THE SCHOOL.

(child #1)

ABRASIVE.

A-S-B

R-A-S-S-I-V.

ABRASIVE.

[teacher chattering]

STOMACH? OH, STOMACH-ACHE.

THAT'S AN EASY ONE.

STOMACH-ACHE.

S-T-O-M-A-C-H HYPHEN A-C-H-E.

STOMACH-ACHE.

[teacher chattering]

PHEW.

EMBARRASSMENT.

E-M-B-A-R-A-S-S

M-M-E-N-T.

EMBARRASSMENT.

(Charlie)

HE MISSED IT. BOY.

HERE IS MY TURN.

[teacher chattering]

THE WORD IS "PERCEIVE."

YES, I KNOW THE WORD.

"I" BEFORE "E"

EXCEPT AFTER "V."

OH, BOY, THAT BLOCKHEAD

WILL NEVER GET THIS ONE.

*[playing]

UH... UM...

UH, PERCEIVE.

P-E-R-C-E-I-V-E.

PERCEIVE.

[all cheering]

(children)

HE DID IT!

HE DID IT!

HE'S OUR HERO!

CHARLIE BROWN DID IT!

OUR GLORIOUS VICTORY

MUST BE CAPITALIZED UPON.

LET'S SEE, AS AGENT,

I SHALL GET 10%,

OR IS IT 15%

OF CHARLIE BROWN?

PERHAPS THIS CALLS

FOR INCORPORATION.

LUCY VAN PELT, INC.

HMM.

I GUESS YOU REALLY

HAVE TO START BONING UP

ON YOUR SPELLING,

CHARLIE BROWN.

BONING UP?

WHAT FOR? I JUST WON.

BOY, I WOULDN'T GO

THROUGH THAT AGAIN

FOR ANYTHING.

WHAT? WHAT?

WHAT?

I GUESS I SHOWED 'EM.

I GUESS

OLD CHARLIE BROWN

CAME THROUGH.

PHEW.

WHAT A RELIEF

THAT'S OVER.

WHAT?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, OVER?

IT'S OVER. I WON.

AND I WON'T EVER HAVE

TO GO THROUGH

SUCH AN ORDEAL AGAIN.

WHY, YOU BLOCKHEAD,

THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING.

CHARLIE BROWN,

THIS VICTORY MAKES YOU

OUR REPRESENTATIVE

TO THE NATIONAL

ELIMINATION SPELLING BEE,

2ND GRADE.

NATIONAL!

ELIMINATIONS!

SPELLING BEE!

UGH!

WELL, I CAN SEE THAT

THIS BLOCKHEAD NEEDS HELP.

IT ISN'T JUST

THE NATIONALS.

THERE'S PERSONAL APPEARANCES

AFTER THAT.

TESTIMONIALS.

PERHAPS T.V. APPEARANCES.

A MANAGER OF MY CALIBER

IS THE ANSWER, CHARLIE BROWN.

IN FACT,

I'M NOT SURE

IF 15% IS ENOUGH.

MY VALUABLE PRESENCE

IS EASILY WORTH 20%.

GOOD GRIEF.

THE FIRST THING

WE MUST CORRECT

IS YOUR POSTURE.

JUDGES OF A CONTEST

CAN BE INFLUENCED

BY POOR POSTURE.

YOUR GROOMING

IS VERY IMPORTANT.

LET'S SPRUCE UP

THESE CLOTHES,

CHARLIE BROWN.

YOU NEED A HAIRCUT, TOO.

I CAN SEE THAT

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE

TO WORK WITH YOU.

PATTY,

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

WELL, WE SHOULD

CHECK HIS WALK.

IF HE'S GOING

TO STUMBLE AROUND

LIKE HE USUALLY DOES.

WALK,

CHARLIE BROWN!

NOT TOO BAD.

A LITTLE COACHING

WILL HELP THOUGH.

TOO BAD HE DOESN'T HAVE

NATURALLY CURLY HAIR.

JUDGES CAN'T RESIST

NATURALLY CURLY HAIR.

YOU'VE GOTTA LEARN

HOW TO SMILE,

CHARLIE BROWN.

SMILE!

HMM.

HMM.

YOU'VE GOT A SMILE

LIKE A SICK PUMPKIN.

AND FURTHERMORE,

YOU HAVE TO BE

UNDERSTOOD.

THE JUDGES MUST BE ABLE

TO UNDERSTAND YOU!

YOUR DICTION

MUST BE PERFECT!

THE HONOR OF YOUR SCHOOL,

YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD

RESTS ON YOUR SHOULDERS.

NOT TO MENTION

THE ECONOMIC FUTURE

OF YOUR MANAGER.

LINUS, I DON'T KNOW

HOW I GET INTO THESE MESSES.

IF I HADN'T VOLUNTEERED

IN THE FIRST PLACE,

I WOULDN'T HAVE WON

AND NOW I WOULDN'T

HAVE TO BE TRYING

TO MEMORIZE THE DICTIONARY.

THERE'S A GOOD CHANCE

THAT INSTEAD OF BEING A HERO,

I'LL MAKE

A BIGGER FOOL OF MYSELF

THAN EVER.

DON'T BE DISCOURAGED,

CHARLIE BROWN,

YOU HAVE

NOTHING TO LOSE.

YOU'LL EITHER BE A HERO,

OR A GOAT.

[mimicking goat bleating]

HI, BIG BROTHER.

HI, LINUS.

HI.

HI, SALLY.

WHY DON'T YOU

TAKE ME TO A MOVIE?

HOW WOULD I EVER

TAKE YOU TO A MOVIE?

WELL, THIS HAPPENS

ALL THE TIME.

BOYS CALL UP GIRLS

AND SAY,

"WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO

TO A MOVIE?"

AND THEN THE GIRLS SAY,

"WHY, YES,

I'D LIKE IT VERY MUCH."

AND THEN THE BOY

GOES OVER

TO THE GIRL'S HOUSE

AND KNOCKS ON THE DOOR

AND HE SAYS TO HER,

"I'VE COME

TO TAKE YOU TO A MOVIE."

HAVE YOU COME

TO TAKE ME

TO A MOVIE, LINUS?

GOOD GRIEF, NO.

ISN'T HE

THE CUTEST THING?

[children cheering]

(children)

C-H-A-R-L-I-E!

CHARLIE!

CHARLIE BROWN!

YEAH!

THIS WHOLE THING

MAKES ME FEEL LIKE

I'M BEING DRAFTED.

THINK OF IT THIS WAY,

CHARLIE BROWN,

YOU'RE GOING ON

A GREAT ADVENTURE.

AND YOU'LL BE REPRESENTING

ALL US LITTLE KIDS.

OUR HONOR IS RIDING

ON YOUR SHOULDERS.

NOT TO MENTION MY FUTURE

ECONOMIC SECURITY,

CHARLIE BROWN.

AS YOUR AGENT,

I EXPECT NOTHING BUT SUCCESS

IN OUR ENDEAVORS.

GO OUT THERE,

CHARLIE BROWN, AND FIGHT!

GOOD GRIEF.

OK, CHARLIE BROWN,

I GUESS

YOU'D BETTER GET ABOARD

THE BUS IS

ABOUT TO GO.

INCIDENTALLY, CHARLIE BROWN,

I WANT YOU TO TAKE THIS.

MY BLANKET.

MY LIFE. MY ALL.

IT WILL BRING YOU LUCK.

GEE, LINUS.

THAT'S VERY NICE

OF YOU.

HERE.

I DON'T THINK I--

HERE.

WELL, OK.

THANKS, LINUS.

HERE!

SO LONG, LINUS.

HERE!

(children)

RETURN VICTORIOUS,

CHARLIE BROWN!

(Lucy)

OR DON'T COME BACK

AT ALL.

YOU CAN DO IT,

CHARLIE BROWN!

YOU CAN DO IT,

CHARLIE BROWN!

RETURN VICTORIOUS,

CHARLIE BROWN.

*[playing]

SCHROEDER, DO YOU THINK

CHARLIE BROWN WILL WIN?

DO YOU THINK

THAT CHARLIE BROWN

HAS A CHANCE?

WELL, HE'S BEEN

PRACTICING A LOT.

I THINK

HE HAS A GOOD CHANCE.

THE YOUNG MAN THESE DAYS

HAS TO PRACTICE A LOT,

DOESN'T HE?

A YOUNG MAN THESE DAYS

HAS TO WORK VERY HARD

TO BE ABLE

TO SUPPORT A WIFE,

DOESN'T HE?

WHO SAID ANYTHING

ABOUT A WIFE?

DO PIANO PLAYERS

MAKE A LOT OF MONEY,

SCHROEDER?

SOME DO.

IF THEY PRACTICE

VERY HARD, I GUESS.

KEEP PRACTICING, KIDDO.

INCIDENTALLY,

WHO IS THIS?

GEORGE WASHINGTON?

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?

WELL?

I CAN'T HELP IT.

I MADE THE MISTAKE

OF GIVING MY BLANKET

TO CHARLIE BROWN

TO TAKE TO THAT SPELLING BEE

FOR GOOD LUCK.

NOW, I KEEP FAINTING.

I KEEP PASSING OUT.

WHY DON'T YOU

GO OUTSIDE

AND GET A BREATH

OF FRESH AIR?

[gasping]

OH.

[whimpering]

WOE IS ME. I'M DYING.

MY RACE IS RUN.

WHY DID I LET CHARLIE BROWN

TAKE MY BLANKET?

I'VE GOT TO GET

MY BLANKET BACK.

[panting]

[moaning]

SEE, I'M ALWAYS PASSING OUT.

SNOOPY,

IT'S UP TO YOU

TO HELP ME.

I JUST GOTTA HAVE

MY BLANKET BACK.

I GOTTA HAVE MY BLANKET.

I DON'T KNOW

WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME.

MAYBE YOU CAN COME WITH ME

TO FIND CHARLIE BROWN

AND GET MY BLANKET BACK.

*[playing]

[horns honking]

DISGRACE.

D-I-S-G-R-A-C-E.

DISGRACE.

IN CHOOSING BETWEEN

"I-E" AND "E-I"

"E-I" IS USED

AFTER THE LETTER "C."

THIS IS TOO MUCH.

I'M SO TIRED I CAN

HARDLY STAY AWAKE.

MAYBE I'D BETTER GO TO BED.

BUT IF I GIVE UP NOW,

THE KIDS WILL

NEVER FORGIVE ME.

I CAN'T KEEP UP THIS PACE.

MAYBE I SHOULD

JUST TELL 'EM ALL

THAT MY HEALTH

IS MORE IMPORTANT.

[inaudible]

YES, HEALTH.

H-E-A-L-T-H. HEALTH.

I'M GETTING DELIRIOUS.

I BETTER GET A HOLD ON MYSELF.

I NEED SOMETHING

IN MY STOMACH.

STOMACH. S-T-O-M-A-C-H.

STOMACH.

I'D BETTER CALL ROOM SERVICE.

SERVICE.

S-E-R-V-I-C-E.

SERVICE.

YES, SERVICE.

YES, THAT'S IT.

"I" BEFORE "E"

SAVE AFTER "D."

HELLO, YES, HELLO.

OH, DID I RING?

YES, I GUESS I RANG.

RANG. R-A-N-G. RANG.

WHAT?

OH, YES, ROOM SERVICE.

I WANT ROOM SERVICE. OOH.

COULD YOU PLEASE

SEND ME A BOWL OF DRY CEREAL

AND A GLASS OF MILK?

LISTEN, WHAT WAS IT?

"I" BEFORE "E" AFTER MILK?

[knocking on door]

THUMP. T-H-U-M-P. THUMP.

[knocking on door]

HEY.

HEY.

[coughing]

MY BLANKET, CHARLIE BROWN.

MY BLANKET.

I CAN'T BE WITHOUT IT.

AFTER I GAVE YOU MY BLANKET,

MY LIFE HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE.

PHEW.

SEE? I KEEP PASSING OUT.

I CAN'T BE

WITHOUT MY BLANKET.

[coughing]

I NEED MY BLANKET,

CHARLIE BROWN.

GEE, LINUS, I DON'T KNOW

WHAT'S WITH YOUR BLANKET.

I'VE BEEN SO BUSY

STUDYING

THAT I FORGOT

ALL ABOUT YOUR BLANKET.

FORGOT ABOUT

MY BLANKET!

PHEW.

WOE, WOE, WOE IS ME.

GEE, I'M SORRY, LINUS.

I REALLY HAVE

BEEN STUDYING SO HARD

I MUST HAVE MISPLACED IT.

MAYBE I LEFT IT

IN THE LOBBY. HMM.

[groaning]

NO, I THINK I LEFT IT

AT THE LIBRARY.

I REALLY

HAVEN'T GONE ANY PLACE

EXCEPT FOR THE LIBRARY.

THAT'S IT. I MUST HAVE

LEFT IT AT THE LIBRARY.

LIBRARY!

I GIVE HIM A GOOD LUCK CHARM,

MY BEAUTIFUL BLANKET,

AND HE THINKS

IT'S AT THE LIBRARY.

CHARLIE BROWN,

I OUGHT TO KICK YOU!

[yawning]

LINUS! LINUS!

SPEAK TO ME.

I'M SURE THE BLANKET

IS AT THE LIBRARY.

TAKE OLD SNOOPY

WITH YOU.

HE'S A HUNTING DOG.

HE'LL...

GOOD GRIEF.

[moaning]

WELL, HE'LL BE HAPPY

TO HELP YOU

FIND YOUR BLANKET.

I HAVE TO STAY

AND STUDY.

TOMORROW'S THE SPELLING BEE

AND I JUST HAVE TO STUDY.

LOOK IN THE HOTEL

LOBBY FIRST,

THEN GO DOWN 2 BLOCKS,

RIGHT, THEN STRAIGHT.

YOU CAN'T MISS IT.

IT'S EITHER AT THE LIBRARY

OR SOMEWHERE ALONG THE WAY.

IT ISN'T HERE.

[groans]

IT ISN'T HERE!

IT ISN'T HERE!

[groans]

WHERE IS IT? WHERE CAN IT BE?

[mumbling]

[mumbling]

[whistling]

[yawning]

(Linus)

WHERE IS IT?

I DON'T SEE IT.

IT ISN'T HERE.

IT'S GONE.

MY POOR BLANKET IS GONE.

WOE IS ME. I'M SUNK.

THAT SCOUNDREL,

CHARLIE BROWN,

LOST MY BLANKET.

ALL RIGHT,

YOU STUPID BEAGLE,

SNAP TO IT!

YOU'VE BEEN NO HELP AT ALL

IN FINDING MY BLANKET.

SOME HUNTING DOG!

THE WORLD IS ENDING

AND HE CAN'T EVEN

HELP FIND A BLANKET.

IT'S THAT BLOCKHEAD

CHARLIE BROWN'S FAULT.

IF I HADN'T

FELT SORRY FOR HIM,

THIS WOULD

NEVER HAVE HAPPENED.

NEVER FEEL SORRY

FOR BLOCKHEADS!

I'LL NEVER FORGIVE

THAT CHARLIE BROWN.

[banging on door]

GOOD MORNING, LINUS

AND SNOOPY.

SNOOPY, S-N-O-O-P-Y. SNOOPY.

WELL, CHARLIE BROWN,

YOU REALLY DID IT.

[yawns]

WE LOOKED FOR THAT BLANKET

ALL OVER THE CITY.

AND AS FOR THIS

HUNTING DOG OF YOURS,

HE'S COMPLETELY USELESS.

USELESS.

U-S-E-L-E-S-S. USELESS.

GEE, I'M SORRY, LINUS.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY.

S-A-Y. SAY.

I'VE GOT TO GET READY

FOR THE CONTEST.

CONTEST.

C-O-N-T-E-S-T. CONTEST.

I'LL NEVER SEE

MY BLANKET AGAIN.

WASHING.

W-A-S-H-I-N-G. WASHING.

[groaning]

[groaning]

UGH!

"I" BEFORE "E"

WHEN FOLLOWED BY "C."

GOOD LUCK, CHARLIE BROWN.

HI. I'M A FRIEND

OF ONE OF THE CONTESTANTS.

I'M A FRIEND OF ONE

OF THE CONTESTANTS.

[exclaiming]

[people chattering]

THAT BLOCKHEAD

BETTER DELIVER.

I'M SURE CHARLIE BROWN

WILL PERFORM COMMENDABLY.

IT'S GONNA START.

HERE IT IS.

IT'S SYDNEY OR THE BUSH

FOR CHARLIE BROWN.

[whistles]

WHEN A WORD ENDS IN "C,"

A "K" IS ADDED

BEFORE "E," "I," OR "Y."

HE'S FALLING ASLEEP.

COME ON,

CHARLIE BROWN,

LET'S GO HOME.

SO LONG, CHARLIE BROWN.

SEE YOU TOMORROW.

[yawning]

OH, HI, LINUS.

DID YOU COME

TO TAKE ME TO A MOVIE?

THERE'S ONE DOWNTOWN,

FOR MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY.

GOOD GRIEF, NO.

I CAME TO SEE CHARLIE BROWN.

IS HE HERE?

YES, HE'S IN HIS ROOM.

HE'S BEEN IN BED ALL DAY

AND HAS THE SHADES

PULLED DOWN.

WELL, IF YOU DECIDE

YOU WANT TO

TAKE ME TO A MOVIE,

YOU HAVE MY PHONE NUMBER.

(Charlie Brown)

WHO IS IT?

IT'S ME, LINUS.

MAY I COME IN?

I DON'T CARE.

IT'S DARK IN HERE.

I CAN'T SEE A THING.

YOU MIND IF I

PULL THE SHADES UP?

(Charlie Brown)

I DON'T CARE.

YOU WEREN'T IN SCHOOL TODAY,

CHARLIE BROWN.

ALL THE KIDS MISSED YOU.

I'M NEVER GOING

TO SCHOOL AGAIN

AS LONG AS I LIVE.

WE HAD A BALLGAME

AFTER SCHOOL.

I DON'T CARE.

I'M NEVER GOING TO

PLAY BALL EITHER.

I'M NEVER GOING TO DO

ANYTHING AGAIN.

IT'S THE FIRST GAME

WE'VE WON ALL SEASON.

OH, BROTHER.

WELL, I CAN UNDERSTAND

HOW YOU FEEL.

YOU WORKED HARD

STUDYING FOR THE SPELLING BEE,

AND I SUPPOSE YOU FEEL

YOU LET EVERYONE DOWN

AND YOU MADE

A FOOL OF YOURSELF

AND EVERYTHING.

BUT,

DID YOU NOTICE SOMETHING,

CHARLIE BROWN?

WHAT'S THAT?

THE WORLD DIDN'T

COME TO AN END.

* NOW THE SHADOWS

OF THE MORNING *

* HAVE GONE BEYOND

THE AUGUST AFTERNOON *

* AND CHARLIE'S HAD HIS DAY

* HIS VERY SPECIAL DAY

* HIS MORNING AND HIS EVENING

AND HIS NOON *

* MAYBE IT'S A KIND OF MAGIC
