Good morning, Linus and Snoopy. S-N-O-O-P-Y. Snoopy.
Well, Charlie Brown, you really did it!!!
We looked for the blanket all over the city!!! And as for the hunts 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'm going to get ready for the contest. C-O-N-T-E-S-T. Contest.
I never see my blanket again!
Washing. W-A-S-H-I-N-G. Washing.
Look at it this way, Charlie Brown, they say we learn more from losing than from winning.
I guess that makes me the smartest person in the whole world.
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.
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.
Yay! Yay! Yay!
B-E-A-G-E-L. Beagle.
Owning 10% of Charlie Brown is like owning 10% of nothing! [Turns the TV on] Charlie Brown, you...you make me mad! [Turns the TV off]
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.
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.
You know, Charlie Brown, they say we learn more from losing than from winning.
Then that must make me the smartest person in the world.
Wake up Linus. It's time to go to school.
Again?
What do you mean 'again'?
Mom's already made your lunch.
Guess I might as well go to school. I can't waste a good lunch.
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?
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.
Uh huh. That's very good. What do you see in the clouds, Charlie Brown?
Well... I was going to say I saw a duckie and a horsie, but I changed my mind.
You gone for the spelling bee?! [laughs]
Charlie Brown, you'll just make a fool of yourself!
Besides that, you're Bound to be a complete failure!
[the girls sing "Failure Face"]
I can't fly a kite and I lose every ball game I play.
I'm going to study the whole dictionary.
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 of the season and the last of the season and all those stupid games in between.
