00:11Aren't the clouds beautiful?
00:13They look like big balls of cotton.
00:17I could just lie here all day and watch them drift by.
00:23If you use your imagination, you could see lots of things in the cloud formations.
00:28What do you think you see, Linus?
00:32Well, those clouds up there look to me like the map of the British Honduras on the Caribbean.
00:39That cloud up there looks a little like the profile of Thomas Eakins, the famous painter and sculptor.
00:46And that group of clouds over there gives me the impression of the stoning of Stephen.
00:50I can see the Apostle Paul standing there to one side.
00:54Uh-huh, that's very good.
00:56What do you see in the clouds, Charlie Brown?
01:01Well, I was going to say I saw a ducky and a horsey, but I changed my mind.
01:17I'll never be able to get this kite in the air.
01:20Never, never, never, never!
01:23I can't do it!
01:25I can't do it!
01:28I don't want to see this kite again as long as I live!
01:35Take it, take it!
01:38Get it out of my sight!
01:41Anybody who can fly this kite is a genius!
01:57My heart is full on the day I first go out to the old ball field.
02:03I love the memories.
02:07I love the smell of the horse hide.
02:11I love the smell of the grassy outfield and the dusty infield.
02:17The hopes and the dreams for the new season.
02:22Ah, there it is, the old pitcher's mound, covered with tradition and dandelions.
02:29Dandelions?
02:32This pitcher's mound is covered with dandelions!
02:35Don't touch them, Charlie Brown!
02:38Don't you dare hurt all those innocent dandelions!
02:42They're beautiful!
02:43Don't you dare cut them down!
02:48Besides, you may not know it, but you look kind of cute standing there surrounded by dandelions.
02:58I don't want to look cute!
03:11Let's get our signals straight.
03:13One finger will mean the high straight ball.
03:16Two fingers will mean the low straight ball.
03:18What in the world are all these dandelions doing on the pitcher's mound?
03:23They grew there.
03:24And the girls on our team won't let me cut them down.
03:27They say they're pretty.
03:29And they say I look cute standing here among them.
03:37They're right.
03:38You do look kind of cute standing there.
03:43Wait!
03:46Hmm.
03:48Brush this guy back, Charlie Brown.
03:51Give him the old bean ball.
03:53No!
03:53I can't do that.
03:55It wouldn't be right.
03:56It wouldn't be right!
03:58Listen who's gone moral on us all of a sudden.
04:01Oh, wishy-washy here!
04:04It's too moral to throw a bean ball.
04:06What about the way the early settlers treated the Indians?
04:09And what about the proper movie as you see nowadays?
04:11How about the children's crusade?
04:13Was that moral?
04:14Do you think that incident and Harper's Ferry has existed with morality?
04:19Our whole system of freeways is a perfect example of what I'm trying to say.
04:24The radio lately?
04:24How about this whole conservation situation?
04:28We never win any ball games.
04:30But we sure have some interesting discussions.
04:36What happened?
04:38Charlie Brown got hit by a line drive!
04:41Does anyone here know anything about first aid?
04:44It's probably not serious.
04:46Second or third aid will do.
04:48Here!
04:49Run over to the drinking fountain and soak this handkerchief in cold water!
04:56You're kidding!
04:57With a head like Charlie Brown's, you'll need a bed sheet!
05:02I'm dying!
05:03And all I hear are insults!
05:06What happened?
05:07You got hit on the hill with a line drive, Charlie Brown!
05:11I don't understand it.
05:13I used to be able to dodge those line drives.
05:15When you get old, your reflexes really slow down.
05:24Well, we lost the first game of the season again.
05:28I shouldn't let it bother me, but it does.
05:31We always seem to lose the first game of the season and the last game of the season.
05:46And all those stupid games in between!
05:50From the big leagues, the ball players get sent to the showers.
05:54I get sent to take a bath.
05:57And this was going to be our big year.
06:00The year when it looked like we might even score our first run.
06:03Winning isn't everything.
06:05But losing isn't anything.
06:08Look at it this way, Charlie Brown.
06:10We learn more from losing than we do from winning.
06:13I guess that makes me the smartest person in the whole world.
06:23You need me to point out your faults, Charlie Brown.
06:26It's for your own good.
06:28Besides, I can do it for you better than anyone else.
06:33My system is unique.
06:36What's so unique about it?
06:38I put all of your faults on slides.
06:41We're going to project your faults onto a screen.
06:45Good grief!
06:50Now, watch carefully.
06:52Now, onto your physical faults.
06:55These slides will show.
06:57Now we're really going to get down to business.
07:00The next batch of slides will show your biggest and most damaging faults.
07:05These could take about an hour to show.
07:09No! No!
07:11Ugh! Turn it off!
07:13I can't stand it any longer!
07:15I can't stand a watch!
07:16I can't stand it! I can't stand it!
07:19This time, I have a little extra surprise as a bonus.
07:26Ugh!
07:29And now for the surprise.
07:31Would you like to see how that looked on instant replay?
07:34Hum-dee-dum!
07:35Hum-dee-dum!
07:36Instant replay?
07:37Ah! Dee-doo!
07:38Hum-hum-hum!
07:39Look at your face!
07:41A failure face if I ever saw one!
07:44I've never gone through anything like that in my life.
07:47I never knew I could be so stupid.
07:52I never knew I had so many faults.
07:55I never felt so completely miserable.
08:00wait until you get my bill it could be regarded as a spiritual tourniquet you look like you've
08:08been taking shock treatments or something what's more shocking than seeing your thoughts projected
08:14onto a screen life is difficult isn't it Charlie Brown yes it is but I've developed a new philosophy
08:27I only dread one day at a time maybe I will enter the spelling bee that's the sort of thing
08:43I need to
08:43gain confidence and self-esteem I think I'll raise my hand and volunteer it'll be good for me I think
08:51I'll just raise my hand and volunteer my hand won't go up my hand is smarter than I am yes
08:58ma'am
08:58I'd like to be in the spelling bee you're crazy don't do it you'll just make a fool out of
09:05yourself
09:06I will not excuse me ma'am I was answering one of my many detractors well here I am in
09:14the first round
09:14of the spelling bee nobody thinks I can win the class spelling bee but I'm gonna show them I not
09:20only know a lot of hard words but I know every spelling rule in the book the only one I
09:26have
09:26trouble remembering is I before E except after D or is it E before I except after G I've got
09:35to stay
09:36calm and not get rattled this is my big chance to prove to everyone that I can do something I
09:43don't
09:43care if I don't actually win all I want to do is get past the first few rounds and make
09:47a decent showing
09:49let's see now how does that spelling rule go hmm I guess I really don't have to worry all the
09:57words in
09:58the first round of a spelling bee are usually quite easy in a way I'd almost like to start off
10:02with a
10:03hard one you know kind of shake up the other kids I feel strangely calm
10:11uh oh here it comes it's my turn next here's my first word of the spelling bee
10:20failure yes ma'am that's an easy one that kid has an easy one you'll either be a hero or
10:26a goat
10:28this whole thing makes me feel like I'm being drafted I want you to take this my blanket
10:34do piano players make a lot of money Schroeder some do if they practice very hard I guess
10:46keep practicing kiddo what's going on here
10:53well I can't help it I made the mistake of giving my blanket to Charlie Brown take it at spelling
11:01bee for good luck
11:02now I keep painting I keep passing out
11:11see I'm always passing out
