Lucy: “What are you doing, Charlie Brown?”
Charlie Brown: “I’m waiting for Valentine’s.”
Lucy: “Oh, well, good luck.”
Charlie Brown: “Thank you.”
Lucy: “You’ll need it!”
Charlie Brown: “You didn’t have to say THAT!”
At the class’ Valentine’s Day party, when Schroeder was handing out the collected cards to the pupils;
Violet: “Look at THAT. Charlie Brown STILL hasn’t received a Valentine. Did anyone send Charlie Brown a Valentine?”
Lucy: “Who would waste a Valentine on stupid, ol’ Charlie Brown?”
Later, the girls are feeling guilty that no one gave Charlie Brown a Valentine, so they went to see him outside his home, where he was waiting at his mailbox, and where Violet handed him one she received then recycled to him:
Schroeder [referring to Charlie Brown, and angry at their mean behaviour and offer of a recycled card]: “Don’t you think he has any feelings?”

So pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces
Of people going by
I see friends shaking hands, saying how do you do
They’re really saying, I love you.”
