Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown Page #2

I love thee freely, as men strive for right

I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.

I love thee with passion put to use

In my old griefs,

and with my childhood's faith.

I love thee with a love I seemed to lose

With my lost saints

I love thee with the breath

Smiles, tears, of all my life.

And, if God choose,

I shall love thee better after death.

[KISSES NOISlLY]

SCHROEDER:
One for Evelyn, one for Pat.

Where is Pat?

- Let's see. Here's one for Franklin.

- Hey. How about one for Charlie Brown?

No, Charlie Brown, not yet.

I haven't seen your name yet.

One for Amy, and one for Jill.

Where's Jill?

One for Linda and Sam. Where's Sam?

- Has there been a mistake?

- No, Charlie Brown.

When I get one with your name,

I'll let you know.

[SIGHS]

Look at that. Charlie Brown

still hasn't received a valentine.

Did anyone send Charlie Brown

a valentine?

Who would waste a valentine

on stupid old Charlie Brown?

Well, that's it.

Happy Valentine's Day, everybody.

Refreshments will be served

in the back.

Are you sure there's none for me?

Yup, none.

[BO X CLATTERS]

Here's my chance. I'd better give

Miss Othmar her Valentine's present.

If you're looking for Miss Othmar,

she's gone.

- Gone?

- She left a minute ago for the parking lot.

Here comes Linus and the candy box.

This is the big moment.

My lover-boy approaches with my valentine.

I think I'll pucker up.

What happened? Where is he?

Perhaps he didn't see me.

I had my eyes closed and he didn't see me.

And my box of candy.

He still has my box of candy!

Where's he going with it?

Hey, you know that shaving lotion

you advised me to buy for my teacher?

I forgot he wears a beard.

[PANTING]

Excuse me, pardon me please.

Hey, where are you going

with your box of candy?

I can't talk now, Miss Othmar's leaving.

There he goes after Miss Othmar.

I just saw her go by with her boyfriend.

Look at him,

he's running to the parking lot.

To Miss Othmar's car.

With my box of candy.

And there's Miss Othmar

with her boyfriend.

Boy, what will he do now?

He's just a crazy mixed-up kid.

[CHILDREN CHATTERING, SHOUTING]

I spent all my money.

I made a fool of myself.

This one is for love!

And this one is for valentines!

This one is for romance!

This one is for Elizabeth Barrett Browning!

This is for "How Do I Love Thee?"

This is for...!

[GULP]

[THROWING]

[GULPS]

[GULPS]

Ow! Ooh, ooh! Ow!

Whew!

Pshew!

[LAUGHING]

Oh. Ah!

[THUDS, GRUNTS]

Well, another Valentine's Day

has come and gone.

I'd give anything if that Little

Red-Haired Girl had sent 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 the other hand, if she did

send me a valentine...

I've got to look!

[LOUD KISS]

I hate Valentine's Day.

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.

- 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?

Is kindness and thoughtfulness something

you can make retroactive?

Don't you think he has any feelings?

You and your friends are the most

thoughtless bunch I've ever known.

You don't care anything

about Charlie Brown.

You just hate to feel guilty!

And now you have the nerve

to come around one day later...

...and offer him a used valentine

just to ease your conscience.

Well, let me tell you something.

Charlie Brown doesn't need your...

Don't listen to him. I'll take it.

I guess I let Schroeder down,

but it was my first valentine, you know.

I didn't do too well, either.

Miss Othmar went off with her boyfriend.

She never even knew I had

a valentine's gift for her.

Well, maybe it wasn't a total flop for me.

At least they were showing

a little thought for me.

Even if it was a used valentine.

At least they care a little bit about me.

Hey, maybe this is the start of a trend.

Maybe this is a whole new trend

for old Charlie Brown.

Maybe this is the start of something big.

Maybe next year I'll get

a whole bunch of valentines.

Maybe next year I'll need three briefcases

instead of two.

- Maybe next year I'll even...

- Happy Valentine's Day, Charlie Brown.
