Quotes 

• Charlie Brown : [Charlie Brown and Sally walk to school]  You're really something, do you know that? I've never seen anyone who was so uptight about school. Why don't you just relax?

• Linus : What's wrong, Charlie Brown?

  Charlie Brown : I just got terrible news. The teacher says we're going on a field trip to an art museum; and I have to get an A on my report or I'll fail the whole course. Why do we have to have all this pressure about grades, Linus?

  Linus : Well, I think that the purpose of going to school is to get good grades so then you can go on to high school; and the purpose is to study hard so you can get good grades so you can go to college; and the purpose of going to college is so you can get good grades so you can go on to graduate school; and the purpose of that is to work hard and get good grades so we can get a job and be successful so that we can get married and have kids so we can send them to grammar school to get good grades so they can go to high school to get good grades so they can go to college and work hard...

  Charlie Brown : Good grief!

  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?

  Patricia 'Peppermint Patty' Reichardt : Kid, I want to ask you something: how come you're always calling me 'sir' when I keep asking you not to? Don't you realize how annoying that can be?

  Marcie : No, ma'am.

• Charlie Brown : My report is on Africa. Actually, what I mean to say is that my report *would* have been on Africa if, uh... Well, my intentions were...
