Sally : [Charlie Brown, Peppermint Patty, Marcie and Sally see a huge pile of tomato cans on display] Look at the pieces of sculpture.

[last lines, after Charlie Brown got his first 'A' on his report]
Patricia 'Peppermint Patty' Reichardt : Chuck, I want to apologize for saying that you're stupid and wishy-washy and everything. It's not easy for a girl to talk like this to a boy, you know.
Charlie Brown : I know. But I always used to think how nice it would be if that little red-haired girl would just come up to me and...
Patricia 'Peppermint Patty' Reichardt : [blows him away with her yells] I can't stand you, Chuck!
Marcie : [comes by] Well, sir, you said the wrong thing again, didn't you?

Marcie : No, ma'am.

Patricia 'Peppermint Patty' Reichardt : I wonder if I'll be beautiful when I'm a senior in high school. If I knew I wasn't going to be beautiful, I wouldn't bother having graduation pictures taken. Chuck, would you want my graduation picture sitting on your piano?
Charlie Brown : We don't have a piano.
Patricia 'Peppermint Patty' Reichardt : That's what I like about you, Chuck. You're always right there with a quick wishy-washy answer!

Franklin : I'll never get this second problem.
Patricia 'Peppermint Patty' Reichardt : Just put down "eleven", Franklin. And don't worry about it. That's what I did. "X" is almost always eleven, and "Y" is almost always nine. One thing I've learned about algebra, don't take it too seriously.

Patricia 'Peppermint Patty' Reichardt : [reading a math problem] "In driving from town A to town D, you pass first through town B and then through town C. It is 10 miles farther from A to B than from B to C and 10 miles farther from B to C than from C to D. If it is 390 miles from A to D, how far is it from A to B?" Well, I knew it would happen sooner or later.
Franklin : What's the matter?
Patricia 'Peppermint Patty' Reichardt : My education has ground to a halt!

-
Patricia 'Peppermint Patty' Reichardt : Well, I don't know what I can do for Charlie Brown, but I sure know what you can do for me.
Marcie : What's that?
Patricia 'Peppermint Patty' Reichardt : [blows her away from her yells] Stop calling me 'sir'!

Patricia 'Peppermint Patty' Reichardt : I'm very discouraged, Chuck. We just had a 'true and false' test and it followed an essay test. We still have three months of school. There'll be more study, more tests, and more agony. How can one fall in love when all these stupid things are going on? Tests to do, reports to write - all these dumb things to do. There's no time for love, Chuck.
