Lucy van Pelt Quotes in The Peanuts Movie (2015)

Lucy van Pelt: Let me let you in on a little secret, Charlie Brown. If you really want to impress people, you need to show them you're a winner.

Charlie Brown: A winner? Me? Lucy, you may be on to something!

Lucy van Pelt: Of course, when I say "you", you know I don't mean "you personally".

Lucy van Pelt: Oh, Charlie Brown, I'll hold the football and you kick it.

Charlie Brown: You *say* you'll hold it, but what you really mean is you'll pull it away and I'll land flat on my back and I'll kill myself.

Lucy van Pelt: But I feel I have really come to know you. I now understand that you are kind, compassionate, brave, and funny. No one would pull a football away from someone with all *those* qualities.

Charlie Brown: [to himself] She's right. I would never pull a football away from someone with all *those* qualities. I am gonna kick this ball all the way to the moon.

[He starts running up and, as expected, Lucy pulls the football away from him]

Charlie Brown: AAUGH!

[Wham!]

Lucy van Pelt: And gullible. I forgot to mention gullible.

Miss Othmar: Wahh wahh wahh wahh.

Franklin Armstrong: What? The new kid is joining our class

Schroeder: Wow, she's pretty.

Lucy van Pelt: She's not *that* pretty.

Charlie Brown: Before I begin, I'd like to thank all of you for your support. You have all been so kind. It is not often that I get this sort of recognition. But... um, there's been a mistake. This is not my test.

Lucy van Pelt: [wearing a Charlie Brown shirt] HA! I knew it!

[sits down covering her shirt]

Lucy van Pelt: [after reading Snoopy's novel] A dog that flies? This is the dumbest thing I've ever read!

[Snoopy hurls the typewriter at Lucy as he and Woodstock laugh. Lucy walks over to Snoopy to pound him, but he kisses her on the nose]

Lucy van Pelt: AAUGH!

[last lines before the credits]

Linus: It must feel pretty great being Charlie Brown right about now!

Pig-Pen: You did it!

Peppermint Patty: Nice job, Chuck!

Marcie: Good job, Charles.

Sally Brown: Hey, big brother!

[blows up a balloon with Charlie Brown's face on it]

Sally Brown: I'm proud to be your little sister.

Lucy van Pelt: [crabbily] You've really shown something new to me, you blockhead!

[nicely]

Lucy van Pelt: You're always full of surprises. Good ol' Charlie Brown.

[as everyone cheers and lifts Charlie Brown up into the air, the scene turns into a black and white drawing. The final touch to the drawing is added: Sparky adding his signature]

Lucy van Pelt: You blockhead! I should have known. What kind of a person tries to fly a kite in the middle of winter? You will never get that kite to fly. Why? Because you're Charlie Brown!

Lucy van Pelt: [to Charlie Brown] Girls want someone with proven success. Have you won any awards? Like a Congressional Medal of Honor? Or a Nobel Peace Prize?

Charlie Brown: Uh...

Lucy van Pelt: What are your real estate holdings? Do you have a diversified portfolio?

[In art class, Charlie Brown tries to make a flower out of a coat hanger, but ends up making a squiggle that looks like his one strand of hair]

Franklin Armstrong: Will you look at this? What a contemporary piece.

Patty: Nice use of space.

Lucy van Pelt: Have you all lost your minds?

Lucy van Pelt: I oughta slug you. Ugh! I've been kissed by a dog! I have dog germs! Get hot water! Get some disinfected! Get some Iodine!

[from trailer]

[Charlie Brown, carrying two buckets of popcorn, is blocking the screen]

Charlie Brown: Excuse me. Sorry.

Lucy van Pelt: Augh! Charlie Brown, you blockhead!

Charlie Brown: Wooah!

[He tries to get the popcorn bucket, but falls, then the other popcorn bucket fell inside his head. They all laugh, and Charlie Brown tries to take the popcorn bucket out of his head, but could not]

Charlie Brown: [sighs] Good grief.

Lucy van Pelt: No dogs!

Lucy van Pelt: [to Charlie Brown] I hate to admit it, you blockhead, but public opinion leads me to believe that after all these years, I *may* have been wrong about you. This has not been easy for me.

[pulling her hair]

Lucy van Pelt: MY WHOLE WORLD HAS TURNED UPSIDE DOWN!

Lucy van Pelt: Agh! I've got dog germs!

Lucy van Pelt: Linus time to get up. You don't want to be late for school. GET UP!

Linus: Ah! My blanket!

Charlie Brown: She has a pretty face and pretty faces make me nervous.

Lucy van Pelt: Pretty face? Pretty face? I have a pretty face! How come my face doesn't make you nervous? How come you can talk to me Charlie Brown?

Charlie Brown: I just need to know the secret to winning her heart.

Lucy van Pelt: Charlie Brown, what brings you out here so late in the day?

Charlie Brown: [sigh] I need your advice on girls, Lucy. You're a girl, right? Let's just say there's this girl I'd like to impress. But, she's something and I'm nothing. If I were something and she was nothing, I could talk to her. Or, if she was nothing and I was nothing, I could talk to her! But, she's something and I'm nothing. So I just can't talk to her.

Linus Van Pelt: Are we dead?

Lucy Van Pelt: Thanks to old Charlie Brown.

Sally Brown: I'm not dead.

Patricia "Peppermint Patty" Reichardt: Of course you're not dead!

Lucy Van Pelt: No thanks to old Charlie Brown!

Charlie Brown: All right, all right, let's go to the river!

[the kids take a wrong turn to a channel and see a sign: "Danger, Blasting on Tuesdays and Thursdays"]

Charlie Brown: That's funny. Did you see that sign?

Patricia "Peppermint Patty" Reichardt: Hey, Chuck, did you see that sign? What day is this?

Charlie Brown: That's right, today is Tuesday!

[the kids pass by a group of bulldozers and tractors and see another sign: "Danger, Blasting on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 10 am"]

Patricia "Peppermint Patty" Reichardt: Chuck, did you see that sign? What time is it, Chuck?

Charlie Brown: [checks his watch] It's almost...

[a huge explosion occurs and a bunch of rocks fall on the screaming kids as the channel goes wavy separating the kids from Snoopy and Woodstock]

Charlie Brown: ...10 AM!

[the rocks stop falling and the channel goes calm again]

Patricia "Peppermint Patty" Reichardt: [angrily points at Charlie Brown] Okay, Chuck! *Another* fine mess you've gotten us into! Look at that! The channel is all blocked!

Lucy Van Pelt: Yeah, just like his head!

[Charlie Brown nervously blushes]

Patricia "Peppermint Patty" Reichardt: Okay gang, I suggest we run this tent in a democratic fashion. The first thing we'll do is elect a tent leader. We'll have to prepare some ballots, and we'll do this democratically. We'll vote to see who's leader - one gal, one vote. However, we can't pass the ballots until we voted to see who's gonna pass the ballots. This will be done very democratically. Let's see... I vote that Lucy prepares the ballots.

Lucy Van Pelt: Wait a minute! You can't vote unless we have ballots!

Marcie: If we can't vote to see who will pass the ballots, how can we have ballots to vote?

Sally Brown: Yeah, who cares?

Patricia "Peppermint Patty" Reichardt: All in favor say "aye". Aye!

Marcie: Aye!

Lucy Van Pelt: No!

Sally Brown: No!

Patricia "Peppermint Patty" Reichardt: It's settled, Lucy will pass the ballots. Okay Lucy, pass the ballots. Everybody mark their choice, either vote for me or against me. That'll be fair.

Lucy Van Pelt: Wait one darned second! How about if we nominate somebody first?

Patricia "Peppermint Patty" Reichardt: Good idea! I nominate me! Any further nominations? If not, the nominations are declared closed. Okay gals, let's vote.

[the girls vote]

Patricia "Peppermint Patty" Reichardt: Marcie, pick up the votes and tally 'em.

Marcie: Alright, here's the way it went: one vote for Lucy, one vote for Peppermint Patty, one vote for Sally, and one vote for Marcie.

Patricia "Peppermint Patty" Reichardt: Huh, a tie vote. I guess I'll have to decide the casting vote.

Lucy Van Pelt: Huh?

Patricia "Peppermint Patty" Reichardt: The deciding vote is for Peppermint Patty! Peppermint Patty is the leader! I am the leader! It was fair and square!

Lucy Van Pelt: Boy, some vote!

[at the spelling bee]

Charlie Brown: Fussbudget, F-U-S-S-B-U-D-G-E-T, Fussbudget.

[the Peanuts gang watching the spelling bee on TV]

Lucy Van Pelt: Hey! How'd he know that word?

Lucy Van Pelt: [about Schroeder's Beethoven bust statue] Incidentally, who's this? George Washington?

[last line of the movie]

Lucy Van Pelt: Welcome home, Charlie Brown.

[Lucy shuts the TV off after Charlie Brown lost the spelling bee]

Lucy Van Pelt: [angrily] Owning 10% of Charlie Brown is like owning 10% of nothing!

[turns the TV on again]

Lucy Van Pelt: Charlie Brown, you - you make me mad!

[shuts the TV off again]

[first lines]

Lucy Van Pelt: Aren't the clouds beautiful? They look like big balls of cotton. I could just lie here all day and watch them drift by. If you use your imagination, you can see lots of things in the cloud's formations. What do you think you see, Linus?

Linus Van Pelt: Well, those clouds up there look to me look like the map of the British Honduras on the Caribbean.

[points up]

Linus Van Pelt: That cloud up there looks a little like the profile of Thomas Eakins, the famous painter and sculptor. And that group of clouds over there...

[points]

Linus Van Pelt: ...gives me the impression of the Stoning of Stephen. I can see the Apostle Paul standing there to one side.

Lucy Van Pelt: Uh huh. That's very good. What do you see in the clouds, Charlie Brown?

Charlie Brown: Well... I was going to say I saw a duckie and a horsie, but I changed my mind.

Lucy Van Pelt: [Walks into Linus's bedroom and raises the shade] Wake up Linus. It's time to go to school.

Linus Van Pelt: Again?

Lucy Van Pelt: What do you mean 'again'?

Linus Van Pelt: [Snuggles back into bed] I went yesterday.

Lucy Van Pelt: Mom's already made your lunch.

[Sets it on his bed and walks out]

Linus Van Pelt: [Sits up in bed, sighs] Guess I might as well go to school. I can't waste a good lunch.

Linus Van Pelt: Here, run over to the drinking fountain and soak this handkerchief in cold water.

[Lucy skeptically examines the handkerchief]

Lucy Van Pelt: You're kidding. With a head like Charlie Brown's, you'll need a bedsheet.

Charlie Brown: I'm dying! And all I hear are insults!

Charlie Brown: This pitcher's mound is covered with dandelions!

Frieda: Don't touch them Charlie Brown! Don't you dare hurt all those innocent dandelions! They're beautiful! Don't you dare cut them down!

Lucy Van Pelt: Besides... you may not know this, but you look kind of cute standing there surrounded by dandelions.

Charlie Brown: I don't want to look cute!

Charlie Brown: I've never gone through anything like that in my life. I never knew I could be so stupid. I never knew I had so many faults. I never felt so completely miserable.

Lucy Van Pelt: Wait until you get my bill.

Patty: Does anyone here know first aid?

Lucy Van Pelt: It's probably not serious. Second or third aid will do.

Lucy Van Pelt: You must learn how to smile, Charlie Brown. Smile!

[Charlie Brown smiles; Snoopy smiles more broadly; Lucy compares the two]

Lucy Van Pelt: You've got a smile like a sick pumpkin.

Lucy Van Pelt: These slides show your tendency toward fatness.

[Next slide]

Lucy Van Pelt: Look at that stomach!

[Next slide]

Lucy Van Pelt: Even your nose is fat, and your legs. Why, I bet if the truth were known, even your toes are fat.
