 * Charlie Brown: Well, another Valentine's Day has come and gone. I give anything if that Little Red-Haired Girl send me a Valentine. Hey, Maybe she did send me one. Maybe she did send me a Valentine and it didn't get here till today. Maybe it's in our mailbox right now! I'm afraid to look. If I look, and there's nothing there. I'll be crushed. On another hand, If she did send me a valentine. I've got to look! [Snoopy kisses Charlie Brown in the mailbox] I hate Valentine's Day.
 * Violet: Charlie Brown, we've been feeling awfully guilty about not giving you a valentine this year. Here, I've erased my name from this one. I'd like you to have it.
 * Schroeder: Hold on there! What do you think you're doing? Who do you think you are? Where were you yesterday when everyone else was giving out valentines?

 * Charlie Brown: Well, Maybe it wasn't total thought for me. At least they we're showing a little thought for me. Even if it wasn't used Valentine's. At least they care little bit about me. Hey, maybe this is a start of a trend. Maybe this is a whole new trend for o' Charlie Brown. Maybe this is a start of something big. Maybe next year I get a whole bunch of Valentine's. Maybe next year I need 3 briefcases instead of 2. Maybe next year I'll even..
 * Linus van Pelt: Happy Valentine's Day, Charlie Brown.
