Peanuts

Peanuts is a comic strip drawn by Charles M. Schulz from 1950 until 2000. It was also developed into several TV animated specials and five animated theatrical features.

 * Every Christmas it's the same - I always end up playing a shepherd. (Shermy's only line of dialogue in "A Charlie Brown Christmas")

 * Charlie Brown: Life is just too much for me. I've been confused right from the day I was born. I think the whole trouble is that we're thrown into life too fast... we're not really prepared. Linus: What did you want... a chance to warm up first? (9 Sep 59)
 * Lucy Van Pelt: 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 can see lots of things in the cloud's formations. What do you think you see, Linus?
 * Linus Van Pelt: Well, those clouds up there look to me look like the map of the British Honduras on the Caribbean. [points up] 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... [points] ...gives me the impression of the Stoning of Stephen. I can see the Apostle Paul standing there to one side.
 * Lucy Van Pelt: Uh huh. That's very good. What do you see in the clouds, Charlie Brown?
 * Charlie Brown: Well... I was going to say I saw a duckie and a horsie, but I changed my mind.

 * Charlie Brown: Say, did you know that this is "Children's Art Month"?
 * Lucy: Why THIS month? Why not LAST month? Why not NEXT month? Why THIS month? How can you narrow down art to one particular time of the year? ART MUST BE UNCONFINED! ART MUST HAVE FREEDOM! You can't say, "Today we will produce a work of art!" You can't say...

 * Charlie Brown: Shovel your walk?
 * Patty: For money?
 * Charlie Brown: Yes, I don't have any use for beads!

 * Charlie Brown: This is the time of year when all the big baseball trades are made. I'm going to try to improve our team with a few shrewd trades.
 * Lucy: That's a great idea, Charlie Brown. Why don't you trade yourself? (8 Nov 67)


 * Lucy: (walks up to Charlie Brown carrying a baseball glove) Hey, manager... some kid must have left his glove here. It has his name on it. See? Right here... "Willie Mays." He wrote his name on his glove, see? Poor kid... he's probably been looking all over for it. We should have a "Lost and Found." I don't know any kid around here named "Willie Mays," do you? How are we gonna get it back to him? He was pretty smart putting his name on his glove this way, though. It's funny, I just don't remember any kid by that name...
 * Charlie Brown: Look at the name on your glove.
 * Lucy: What?
 * Charlie Brown: (appears slightly irritated) Look at your own glove. There's a name on it.

 * Charlie Brown: What's it for?
 * Lucy: Don't be so wishy-washy... just sign it!
 * Charlie Brown: WANTING TO KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SIGNING IS NOT BEING WISHY-WASHY!
 * Lucy: Why are you so crabby?
 * Charlie Brown: YELLING AT SOMEONE WHO SAYS YOU'RE WISHY-WASHY FOR WANTING TO KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SIGNING BEFORE YOU SIGN IT, IS NOT BEING CRABBY!!
 * Lucy: All right, if I let you read it, will you sign it?
 * Charlie Brown: [reading petition] "We, the undersigned, think our manager is too wishy-washy and too crabby."
 * Lucy: You promised to sign it...

 * Lucy: Charlie Brown...
 * Charlie Brown: I can't believe it!
 * Lucy: Charlie Brown, I'll hold the football, and you come running up and kick it.
 * Charlie Brown: "HOW LONG, O LORD?"
 * Lucy: You're quoting from the sixth chapter of Isaiah, aren't you, Charlie Brown? "Until cities lie waste without inhabitant, and houses without men, and the land is utterly desolate..." Actually, there is a note of protest in the question as asked by Isaiah, for we might say he was unwilling to accept the finality of the Lord's judgment...
 * [While Lucy has been quoting Scripture, Charlie Brown has taken a running start and taken off toward the football, hoping to kick the ball while Lucy is distracted. However...]

 * Linus: Still moping? I can't believe it! But that was almost ten weeks ago!
 * Lucy: I can't help it! I'll never get over it! NEVER!!
 * Linus: Well, why don't you write a letter or something like you said you were going to do? Maybe that will help.
 * Lucy: I guess I will. [gets a pencil and piece of paper and writes] "Dear Bobby Riggs, You were lucky!!!" (15 Jul 73)


 * [Charlie Brown is watching a golf tournament on TV when Sally comes up behind him.]
 * Announcer: All right, golf fans, this is it... The old pro has to make this one... He's down to the last putt, and he can't play it safe... He has to go for it... There's no tomorrow!

 * Lucy: Tomorrow is Beethoven's birthday... what are you going to buy me?
 * Schroeder: I'm not going to buy you anything! [stands up from his piano and continues shouting at Lucy] You know why? Because you don't care anything about Beethoven! You never have! You don't care that he suffered! You don't care that his stomach hurt and that he couldn't hear! You never cared that the Countess turned him down, or that Therese married the Baron instead of him, or that Lobkowitz stopped his annuity!! [storms away]
 * Lucy: If the Countess hadn't turned him down, would you buy me something? (15 Dec 74)

 * Sally: Do you always bite trees? (01 March 77)


 * Lucy: Look.
 * Sally: Look at what?

 * Lucy: He's never even heard of Farrah Fawcett-Majors.
 * Sally: Or Mary Tyler Moore!
 * Lucy: He doesn't know there's a moon in the sky and fish in the ocean...

 * Charlie Brown: I can't get that Little Red-Haired Girl out of my mind..
 * Linus: Why don't you call her up, Charlie Brown?

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

 * Charlie Brown: But I think I've begun to believe her.. I think I'm afraid to be happy..
 * Lucy: How can you be afraid to be happy?

 * 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)

 * [Pause]
 * Charlie Brown: How've you been? (22 June 98)


 * Lucy: Listen to me.. Mom doesn't want you to have a dog, does she?
 * Rerun: No..
 * Lucy: Do you really think Santa Claus is going to bring you something Mom doesn't want you to have?
 * Rerun: Ooo! Supreme Court stuff! ( 23 Dec 98 )


 * Rerun: Snoopy, who am I kidding? Lucy is right.. Santa Claus is never going to bring a dog to someone whose Mom doesn't want him to have a dog.. If I'm lucky, I'll get a pair of socks and an orange..
 * Snoopy: If I get a rubber bone, I'll share it. ( 24 Dec 98 )

 * Lucy: Hey, manager, how come I always have to play right field?
 * Charlie Brown: Because you're such a terrible player!
 * Lucy: I suppose you think you're such a great pitcher, huh? And I suppose you think you're such a great manager?
 * Charlie Brown: This could turn ugly... (22 Jun 99)


 * Sally: Lucy's on the phone. She wants to know why she always has to play right field.
 * Charlie Brown: Traditionally, the player who is weakest defensively plays right field.
 * Sally: [to Lucy on the phone] He says the dumbest player always plays right field.
 * Charlie Brown: This could turn really ugly... (23 Jun 99)


 * Lucy: Hey, manager, I've decided if I have to play right field all the time, I'd rather not play at all..
