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.

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

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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?

How about this whole
conservation situation?

We never win
any ball games,

but we sure have
some interesting discussions.

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.

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!

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.

Why can't I have an ordinary
dog like everybody else?

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.

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.

Uh...

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.

And now
for the surprise.

Would you like to see how
it looked on instant replay?

Instant replay?

Hear you are,
Charlie Brown.

Now I'm going to run
through this at slow motion.

I think we must carefully
analyze your every move,

your every expression.

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?

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.

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.

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.

You're going to have to
do something about it.

You're going to have
to win at something.

Something that will restore
your lost self-confidence.

Hey, Charlie Brown!

There's a spelling bee at school
today, why don't you volunteer?

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?

Charlie Brown, you'll just
make a fool of yourself.

Besides that, you're bound
to be a complete failure.

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

By golly, I'll show 'em.

I'll show 'em that I'm good at something.

By golly,
I'll show 'em.

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.

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.

Psst, you're crazy,
don't do it.

You'll just make
a fool out of yourself.

I will not!

Excuse me, ma'am. I was answering
one of my many detractors.

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:

"L" 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.

Oh-oh, here it comes.

It's my turn next, here's my
first word of the spelling bee.

"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.

Oh-oh.

That kid has an easy one.

Neighbor.
N-e-i-b-o-r. Neighbor.

Oh-oh.

He's out, he missed it.
Now it's...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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."

"L" 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.

"Noticeable, serviceable,
embraceable, replaceable,

peaceable, enforceable,
pronounceable, and traceable."

"Sleigh, stein,
fahrenheit."

"Excepting fiery,
hierarchy, hieroglyphic."

"'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.'"

"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.

"E" before "I" after "c."

When a word ends in "c"

like "frolic" and "picnic" and "mimic"

insert a "k"
before adding a suffix.

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.

"L" before "e"
except after "c."

Let's see, before "c"...
uh...

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.

Abrasive.

A-s-b

r-a-s-s-i-v.

Abrasive.

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.

Phew.

Embarrassment.

E-m-b-a-r-a-s-s

m-m-e-n-t.

Embarrassment.

He missed it. Boy.

Here is my turn.

The word is "perceive."

Yes, I know the word.

"L" before "e"
except after "v."

Oh, boy, that blockhead
will never get this one.

Uh... um...

uh, perceive.
P-e-r-c-e-i-v-e.

Perceive.

He did it!
He did it!

He's our hero!

Charlie Brown did it!

champion Charlie Brown

that has a lovely ring

something to make
a 4-column headline

something the kids
can sing

champion Charlie Brown,
inspired

setting the whole
wide world on fire

fly all the kites
break out the confetti

cause all the bells
to sound

he's gonna be
most definitely

champion Charlie Brown

he's got to be the best

top of the heap
when it comes to spelling

better than all the rest

champion Charlie Brown
you did it

if you're our blockhead boy
you did it

it must be something
to not to be nothing

when you get on the ground

once a beginner
now he's a winner

champion Charlie Brown

I hate to admit it,

but this could mean 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.

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.

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?

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!

Return victorious,
Charlie Brown!

Or don't come back
at all.

You can do it,
Charlie Brown!

Return victorious,
Charlie Brown.

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?

Oh.

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.

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.

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.

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?
"L" before "e" after milk?

Thump. T-h-u-m-p. Thump.

Hey.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

It isn't here!

It isn't here!

Where is it? Where can it be?

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.

Good morning, Linus
and Snoopy.

Snoopy, S-n-o-o-p-y. Snoopy.

Well, Charlie Brown,
you really did it.

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.

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.

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.

When a word ends in "c," a "k"
is added before "e," "i," or "y."

That blockhead.
He's falling asleep.

Supersede.

S-u-p-e-r

s-e-d-e. Supersede.

Irritable.

I-r-r-i-t-i-b-l-e.

Irritable.

Recommend.

R-e-c-o-m-m-e-n-d.

Recommend.

Invitation.

I-n-v-i-t-a-t-i-o-n.

Invitation.

Unconfident.

U-n-c-o-n-f-i-d-e-n-t.

Unconfident.

Of course, that's a word
he's well acquainted with.

P-r-o-d-u-c-t

I-o-n.

T-y-r-r-a-n-y.

Tyranny.

Indispensable.

Irresistible.

I-r-r-e-s-i-s

t-a-b-l-e.

Irresistible.

R-e-p-e-t-i-o-n.

Repetition.

D-e-v-e-l-o-p-m-e-n-t.

Ingenious.

I-n-g-e-n-u-o-u-s.

Fussbudget.

F-u-s-s-b-u-d-g-e-t.

Fussbudget.

Hey, how did he know
that word?

Irremediable.

I-r-r-e-m

I-d-a-b-i-e.

Irremediable.

Hey, there's only
2 left!

And one of them
is Charlie Brown!

Hooray!

That a boy, Charlie Brown!

You can do it.

Wee, the stage, t. v.,
nothing will stop us.

Disastrous.

D-i-s-a-s-t-r-o-u-s.

Disastrous.

Yeah, Charlie Brown,
hang on there!

Occurrence.

O-c-c-u-r-r-e-n-c-e.

Occurrence.

It's Charlie Brown's turn.

If he gets this one,
and the other kid misses,

why, he could be the winner.

Come on, Charlie Brown.
You can do it!

Incompetent.

I-n-c-o-m-p-e-t-e-n-t.

Incompetent.

Hooray!
Charlie Brown is doing it!

Hooray!

I think he's gonna do it.
Hooray!

My future is assured.

Do you think
he'll do it, Schroeder?

I hope so.

If the other kid misses this
next one, Charlie Brown wins.

Come on, Charlie Brown!

You can do it, Charlie Brown!

Leisure.

L-e-i-s-u-r-e.

Leisure.

The word is "beagle"?

Oh, boy. That's an easy one.

That's his dog.

He'll get that one easy.

Charlie Brown's at the threshold
of being a champion speller!

Beagle.

Beagle.

B-e-a-g-e-l.

Beagle.

Ugh!

Owning 10% of Charlie Brown

is like owning
10% of nothing.

Charlie Brown,
you, you make me mad!

I guess nobody realized
that we were returning.

Come on, Charlie Brown, let's go home.

So long, Charlie Brown.

See you tomorrow.

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.

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?

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

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
