"Sally: [to her brother, delivering his love note to the Little Red-Haired Girl while he hides behind a tree] She's reading your love note! Did you hear me? Are you still behind the tree? Wave your hand! Charlie Brown: [waves hand from behind the tree]"

"Peppermint Patty: [to Charlie Brown on the phone] Hi, Chuck! Do you miss me?"

"Lucy: Here we go, Charlie Brown... I'll hold the ball, and you come running up and kick it."

"Lucy: As sister and brother, we're almost like a team.. I'm the manager, and you're the worthless player who is good for nothing except sitting on the bench!"

"Charlie Brown: "Pigpen," I don't understand you. It's only the first inning of our first game, and you're already covered in dirt!"

"Peppermint Patty: Quick, Marcie, I need a pencil and some paper. And I need an eraser, a pen and a ruler."

"Linus: It rains on the hills and in the valleys... It rains on the cities and in the fields. It rains on the just and the unjust."

"Lucy: I figured it out, Charlie Brown. If you stay depressed for two more days, you'll make it into the Book of World Records."

"Peppermint Patty: D-minus! Good grief! I got a D-minus in every subject! And look what she wrote on the back... she said I'm not very cute! What does she mean, I'm not cute? Just because I've got a big nose and mousy-blah hair, doesn't mean I'm not cute! [kicks report card onto the ground] My dad thinks I'm cute! Every day when I was little, he'd say how cute I was..."

"[Charlie Brown is at at Lucy's psychiatric booth]"

"Charlie Brown: I hope this isn't one of those movies where a kid goes to boarding school, and everyone is mean to him.."

"Peppermint Patty: Good morning, crabby.."

"Charlie Brown: Sometimes I lie awake at night and I ask, "Does anyone remember me?" Then a voice comes to me out of the darkness that says, "Sure, Frank, we remember you." (10 May 97)"

"Lucy: Having an older sister is like having a compass to guide you through life."

"Sally:Here, big brother, you got a letter."

"Marcie: How many skating tests are there, sir?"

"Charlie Brown: I can't get that Little Red-Haired Girl out of my mind.."

"Snoopy: Psst! Wake up, it's almost noon...the early bird gets the worm."

"Peppermint Patty: Everyone had to write an essay on what we did during Christmas vacation. When I got mine back, the teacher had given me a "D minus"...well, I'm used to that, right, Chuck? Right! Now guess what...all those essays went into a city essay contest, and I won! Explain that, Chuck!"

"Lucy: Why can't you and your dog do some things together? Go out and chase some rabbits."

"Lucy: Charlie Brown! I'll hold the ball and you come running up and kick it..."

"Sally: I don't think the school bus is ever going to come.."

"Charlie Brown: [reading] "Dear Charlie, This is your Pen Pal from Scotland. I would have written sooner, but I have thirty other Pen Pals, and.." [stops reading] THIRTY? [balls up paper and starts to cry] I thought I was the only one!"

"Charlie Brown: Why should a person lie awake all night worrying about everything? Why should a person be burdening with all the cares of the world?"

"Linus: On Halloween night, the "Great Pumpkin" rises out of the pumpkin patch, and..."

"Charlie Brown: Sometimes when you walk by the home of the girl you love, you can see her standing by the window.. She waves at you, and you wave back.. But it's her grandmother. (26 Nov 96)"

"[Pig-Pen has just hit an inside-the-park home run.]"

"Charlie Brown: [to Lucy] Your job will be to hold the kite."

"Charlie Brown: I've come to offer you a free dog; his name is "Olaf"."

"Snoopy: (on his doghouse) I hate being left alone. Maybe they'll never come back.. That round-headed kid wouldn't leave me, would he? No he wouldn't! Would he? I'm never sure they're coming back until I see the headlights coming around the corner.. I shouldn't keep looking.. But I can't help it.. Is that them? No, it wasn't them.. Watched headlights never come..(16 Jun 97)"

"Truffles: [to Linus on the roof of her grandfather's barn] Be careful, Linus... You're going to fall!"

"Sally: [to the class] There he was on the snow-covered barn roof! One false move would send him sliding to his death! What a predicament! Who would rescue my sweet babboo?"

"Lucy: Look."

"Linus: You know what? I think I've learned the secret of life. I went to the doctor yesterday because I had a sore throat... The nurse put me in a small room.. I could hear a kid in another room screaming his head off... When the doctor came in to see me, I told him I was glad I wasn't in that other room... "Yes," he said... "That kid will have to have his tonsils out... You're lucky you only have a mild inflammation". The secret of life is to be in the right room!(16 Nov 77)"

"Peppermint Patty: You really liked that Little Red-Haired Girl, didn't you, Chuck? Which would you rather do, hit a home run with the bases loaded or marry the Little Red-Haired Girl?"

"Peppermint Patty: Do you think I'm beautiful, Chuck?"

"Charlie Brown: Hello? Information? Yes, I'd like to talk to a certain Little Red-Haired Girl... No I already have her number... I was hoping you could tell me something else... What do I do when she answers the phone?(29 August 78)"

"Lucy: What's going on?"

"Peppermint Patty: I'd like to ask the teacher a question, but I'm afraid she'll think it's dumb."

"Peppermint Patty: Let me borrow your ruler, Marcie."

"Peppermint Patty: School starts next week. I hope I get better grades this year. I hope I'll be the prettiest and smartest girl in the whole class."

"Peppermint Patty: I called Chuck last night, Marcie.. I don't think he likes you more than he likes me... [as Marcie pulls her hair she yells:] YOU'RE TURNING HIM AGAINST ME!! MARCIE!"

"Marcie: While you were asleep, sir, the world came to an end! You and I are the only people left alive!! Volcanoes were erupting! Icebergs were melting! Everything is gone!"

"Peggy Jean: Pretty girls are human, too."

"Lydia: Linus.. Have you ever written a love note?"

"Lucy: OH NO! ALL RIGHT! WHO'S BEEN IN MY COMIC BOOKS?!"

"Charlie Brown: A letter! I got a letter from my Pen Pal in Scotland! [reading] "Dear Charlie, Just been to the shops.. Ma maw's in bed with a sore heid and ma da's makin mince tatties for the dinner.. Love, Morag.""

"Sally: Why would some girl in Scotland waste her time writing to you?"

"Charlie Brown: I thought she was only writing to me.. Then she tells me she has thirty other Pen Pals!"

"Lucy: [to Charlie Brown's kite] FLY, YOU STUPID KITE! GET UP THERE! GO! FLY! FLY! GET UP THERE! GET UP THERE!"
