All language subtitles for 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!

[children cheering]

(all)
HE'S OUR HERO!

CHARLIE BROWN DID IT!

I HATE TO ADMIT IT,

THE START OF
SOMETHING GREAT

FOR CHARLIE BROWN.

HE MAY HAVE
TO GET AN AGENT.

OF COURSE
HE'LL NEED AN AGENT.

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 JUST THE BEGINNING.

OF COURSE,
CHARLIE BROWN.

THIS IS ONLY
THE BEGINNING.

SURE, CHARLIE BROWN,
THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING.

[growling]

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."

THAT BLOCKHEAD.
HE'S FALLING ASLEEP.

IF THE OTHER KID

CHARLIE BROWN,

*[playing]

I GUESS NOBODY REALIZED
THAT WE WERE RETURNING.

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

* THAT ONLY
LITTLE BOYS CAN DO *

* BUT SEEING CHARLIE SMILE

* CAN MAKE YOU STOP A WHILE

* AND GET YOU
FEELING GLAD YOU'RE YOU *

[Charlie Brown screaming]

* HE'S ONLY A BOY
NAMED CHARLIE *

WELCOME HOME,
CHARLIE BROWN.

* A BOY NAMED CHARLIE BROWN

* HE'S JUST THE 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 BEIN' SMALL

* AND WE'RE ALL

* A BOY NAMED

* CHARLIE BROWN *
