Charlie Brown: I'm waiting for valentines. Lucy: Oh, well. Good luck. Charlie Brown: Thank you. Lucy: You'll need it. Charlie Brown: You didn't have to say that! Charlie Brown: Well, another Valentine's Day has come and gone. I'd give anything if that Little Red-Haired Girl 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 another hand, if she did send me a valentine... I've got to look! [Snoopy kisses Charlie Brown in the mailbox] I hate Valentine's Day. Violet: 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. Schroeder: 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... Charlie Brown: Don't listen to him! I'll take it! Charlie Brown: I guess I let Schroder down. But it was my first valentine, you know. Linus van Pelt: I didn't do too well, either. Miss Othmar went out with her boyfriend. She never even knew I had a Valentine's gift for her. Charlie Brown: Well, maybe it wasn't a total loss for me. At least they we're 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 a start of a trend. Maybe this is a whole new trend for ol' Charlie Brown. Maybe this is a start of something big. Maybe next year I get a whole bunch of valentines. Maybe next year I'll need 3 briefcases instead of 2. Maybe next year I'll even... Linus van Pelt: Happy Valentine's Day, Charlie Brown.
