A Charlie Brown Valentine (2002) - full transcript

[typing]

I hate it when he gets an idea
in the middle of the night.

A Valentine's card
for Valentine's Day.

Roses are red,
chocolate is brown?

Good Grief!!

Valentines Day
puzzles me, Chuck.

If someone gives you a
great big valentine,

does that mean love, Chuck.

Well, It could of course.

But actually the size of the
Valentine isn't important.

How about an expensive
Valentine, Chuck?



Does that mean love?

Oh no, I don't think the price
has anything to do with love.

Should a Valentine be mailed
or should it be presented

in person Chuck?

I don't think it really matters.

Have you been given a lot of
Valentines in your time, Chuck?

No.

I have never received
a single Valentine.

Well then, what am I
talking to you for?

I should be talking to
someone who's used to

getting Valentines.

Hey, maybe the kid
with the funny nose

can answer my question.

Hey kid, wait a second.



[typing]

Dear Sweetheart.

That's too impersonal.

I think you should call her
something more endearing.

[typing]

Dear Angel Food Cake with Seven
Minute Frosting.

Your stories are dumb! They
don't have enough romance!

I've just been reading a very
romantic book.

The man says to the woman,

'You are breath and bread
and water to me.'

That's the sort of thing you
should write!

'You are breath and bread and
water to me,' he said,

'And chocolate chip cookies.'
Good grief!

[typing]

Dear Sweetheart, I miss you
morning noon and night.

That's too vague!

When you write to a girl
you have to be more specific.

[typing]

I miss you at
8:15, 11:45, and 9:36.

Good Grief!!

[typing]

Dear Sweetheart,
Happy Valentine's Day.

I'd do anything for you.

I'd climb the
highest mountain,

I'd dog paddle
the deepest ocean.

[typing]

Your eyes are
beautiful, he said.

Shall I compare
them to a summer's day?

No, even more.

Your eyes are like
two supper dishes.

Be My Valentine!

You just gave me an idea.

I'm going to make my
own Valentine this year.

I'm going to cut out some
pretty red hearts and then

glue lace around them.

What I want you to do is
type out a nice verse.

[typing]

Chocolate Chip
cookies are red,

chocolate chip
cookies are blue,

chocolate chip
cookies are sweet,

so are you!!

This is terrible!!

I can't make a
Valentine with that!!

Write another one!!!

[school bell rings]

If I hold my hands out like
this you can put a Valentine

right in them.

Or, you can stand like that
for the rest of your life

and never get anything!!

It feels like it might rain.

I'd give anything to be able to
talk to that red-haired girl.

The amazing thing
is that I know

I'm the sort of
person she'd like.

I mean I'm not rough or
crude or anything.

I'm not the greatest
person who ever lived,

of course, but after all,
who is?

I'm just a nice sort of
a guy who never gets

to meet little red-haired girls.

What's this?

The little red-haired girl
dropped her pencil!!

Gee, its got teeth
marks all over it.

She nibbles on her pencil.

She's human!!

What's that you're holding?

It's a pencil.

It belongs to that
little red-haired girl.

I'm going to stand here
till she walks by

and them I'm going to tell
her how I found it!!

I hate to see you go
to all that trouble,

Charlie Brown.

Why don't I just
give it to her.

Hey!! Here's your
stupid pencil!!!

Hey!

That big kid just pushed down
that little red-haired girl.

What a bully!!

She got up.

But look, he's going
to push her down again.

Why aren't I tough?

Why can't I rush over
there and save her?

Because I'd get
slaughtered, that's why.

I'm not tough, I'm
not anything.

[whip crack]

I'll take care of
him Charlie Brown.

[whip crack]

You can relax C.B.

He won't bother her anymore.

That's very comforting.

I'm the friend of a hero.

What are you
writing, Marcie?

I'm sending a
Valentine to Charles.

You can't do that.

He'll think you like him.

I do.

I'm very fond of Charles!!

Why don't you
sign my name too?

Oh sure!

Hitch a ride on
my Valentine!!

[knock]

Yes?

I may or may not be sending
you a Valentine Charles,

so I need to know something.

Do you like me, Charles?

Do I what?

I walk all the way over here
to ask you a question and

all you can say
is, "Do I what?".

Forget it Charles!

Forget what?

Got a letter in
the mail, eh Chuck?

I know you like me
and in my own way,

I like you too.

I think its from that
little red-haired girl.

She knows I like her and -

That's not from any little
red-haired girl, Chuck!

That letter is from me!!

You like me Chuck!!

I do?

Hi Charles.

Remember yesterday when
I went to your house?

I walked all the way
over to ask if you like me.

To do what?

I can't stand it!!

♪ [classical piano] ♪

Next week is
Valentine's Day.

Are you going to
give me a Valentine?

I never have.

What makes you think I'll
give you one this year?

Hope!!

Isn't this a
beautiful Valentine?

Its says I Love you.

I think I'll give it to the
little red-haired girl.

She'll probably laugh
right in your face.

At least I'd be near her!

What do you think?

This is a Valentine I bought
the little red-haired girl.

I want to go over to her
house and give it to her.

But I think I'd be too nervous
to do it without practice.

I'll go outside and ring
the doorbell and you pretend

you're the little
red-haired girl, okay?

[doorbell rings]

I'd better practice how I'll
give it to her.

Here, little red-haired girl,
this is for you.

It's a valentine.

This is a valentine I made
specially for you.

Here little red-haired girl,
this is a valentine

I want you
to have.

Here little red-haired girl,
this is a valentine

to show how much I like you.

Here, this valentine is for you,
sweet little red-haired girl.

Here little red-haired girl,
this valentine is for you.

And I hope you like it as much
as I like you.

And... [sigh]

Hi Charlie Brown. Did you give
that little red-haired girl

your valentine?

I couldn't do it.

I mailed it anonymously.

[knock]

Hey Sweet Baboo, I brought you a
valentine.

Linus: I am not your Sweet
Baboo.

Does it have any monetary
value?

I doubt it.

Yes Mam, I'd like to buy a
box of candy for a girl

who doesn't know I exist.

Wah wah wah wah.

No mam, nothing
too expensive.

I'll never have the nerve
to give it to her anyway.

I'm afraid if I give this box
to the little red-haired girl,

she'll laugh in my face.

Maybe I can hide behind this
tree and when she comes by

she'll take it out of my hand.

Love makes you do
strange things!!

I think tomorrow I'll
just right out and tell

that little red-haired
girl I love her.

Then I'll give
her a biiig hug.

Then I'll go bungee
jumping from the moon!

Wouldn't it be great if
that little red-haired girl

gave me a valentine?

What if she came over to me and
handed me a big fancy valentine,

with lace all around the edges?

What if she said to me, 'dearest
Charlie Brown,

won't you be my valentine?
Please? Please? Please?'

I'd better go in. I think I'm
cracking up.

♪ [classical piano] ♪

I've decided something.

For Valentine's Day this
year don't give me anything

fancy, like candy or flowers.

I'll settle for a kiss
on the nose and a hug!

Or a whole lot less.

See the Valentine
I made for Linus?

On the inside I
wrote To my sweet Baboo.

He says he's not
your sweet Baboo.

What does he know?

And these are valentines for all
the boys at school that I like.

And this is a very special
one for my sweet Baboo.

Does your sweet
Baboo know who he is?

Oh yes, he knows who he is.

Do you see my sweet
Baboo standing there?

He's hanging around the
candy store trying to decide

what to get me for
Valentine's day.

It'll probably be a
box of candy shaped

like a big heart.

Or a big zero!!

Isn't he the cutest thing?

Look, it's the
little red-haired girl!

Maybe I should invite her
to the Valentine Dance.

Do me a favor.

Go over and talk to her
and say you know me.

Try to find out if she likes me.

I'll hide here behind
this trash can and listen.

Hi there.

My name is Linus.

I believe we have a
friend in common.

His name is Charlie Brown,
he sits across the room

from you in school.

No, by the Window.

Near the pencil Sharpener.

No, in the last row.

Well, kind of
blond, I guess,

no, you're thinking of Mike.

No, not as tall.

A shirt with sort
of jagged stripes.

No, not John.

John is a lot bigger.

Sort of a round face.

Doesn't ring a bell, huh?

No, Brown.
Like in town.

Just doesn't
ring a bell huh?

I can't stand it!

I just can't stand it!

You're being
ridiculous Charlie Brown.

I can't help it!

I can't just go up to that
little red-haired girl

and talk to her.

She has a pretty face and
pretty faces make me nervous.

How come my face doesn't
make you nervous, huh?

I notice you
can talk to me!!

I have a pretty face!!

How come you
can talk to me??

Well why don't you invite her to
the Valentine's dance?

Just go ask her right now.

I can't talk to that little
red-haired girl

because she's something and I'm
nothing.

If I were something and she were
nothing, I could talk to her.

Or if she were something
and I were something,

then I could also talk to her.

Or if she were nothing and I
were nothing,

then I could also talk to her.

But she's something and I'm
nothing,

so I can't talk to her.

For a nothing, Charlie Brown,
you're really something.

There's that pretty
little red-haired girl.

Sigh.

I wonder what would happen if
I walked over to her desk,

put my arm around her and
gave her a big kiss?

Wow!

I've gotta stop
thinking like that!

Girls like compliments.

If you want to impress
that little red-haired girl,

say something nice to her.

You look really cute today!

That impressed
her, Charlie Brown,

she fell right
out of her desk.

You've got to be more
subtle, Charlie Brown.

If I wink maybe
she will notice me.

I'm not getting
any distance.

Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah.

Where are you
going Charlie Brown?

The teacher wants me to
see the nurse about my eye.

She saw me winking at the
little red-haired girl.

She thinks something's
wrong with my eye.

Did you go to the
eye doctor yesterday,

Charlie Brown?

Yes, she said there's
nothing wrong with my eyes,

they're fine.

Did she tell you to
stop winking at girls?

She said that's the first
thing they teach you

in medical school.

Yes?

Can you cure loneliness?

For a nickel, I
can cure anything.

Can you cure deep down,
black bottom of the well,

no hope end of the
world, what's the use,

loneliness?

For the same nickel?

I just had a
terrible thought.

What if the little
red-haired girl gives me a

Valentine and she
really likes me?

But what if it turns out
that I don't like her

as much as I thought
I was going to??

How could I tell her?

How could I
break up with her?

How could I leave her?

You're worried aobut leaving
someone you haven't even met?

Charlie Brown,
you are hopeless.

Completely hopeless!!!

Maybe I could leave her
now, and meet her later?

Good Grief!

The doctor is no longer in!!

Can I help you?

I need a Valentine that
will impress this girl I like.

Then you'll want this
super potent Valentine.

Potent?

It will sweep
her off her feet.

It'll knock her socks off.

Alright, I'll take it.

Good.

If you come around next
Friday you can pick it up.

Friday?
Why can't I have it now?

It's too potent!!

There's a five day
waiting period.

I wonder what I can do to
make that little red-haired

girl notice me?

Maybe if I walk
around the room a bit.

I'll bet she notices me now.

Especially after I
get my sleeve caught

in the pencil sharpener.

If that little red-haired
girl sees me standing here

with my sleeve caught in
the pencil sharpener she'll

think I'm the dumbest
person in the world.

What I have to do is wriggle
out of my shirt but still

look real cool!!

Why do we have to stand
in line for everything?

What's the hold up?

Probably an overturned vehicle.
Push him out of there.

What's taking so long?

I like a pencil with a
fine point.

I don't think we should bother

with the Valentine's
box this year, ma'am.

I don't think my Sweet Baboo
will give me a valentine anyway.

Linus: I am not your Sweet
Baboo!

And how do you know I wouldn't
give you a valentine

if I were your Sweet Baboo,
which I am not?

See the problem, ma'am?

Wah, wah, wah, wah.

Our teacher says we have to have
a valentine box, so here it is.

It's only for valentines.

The opening at the top is not
large enough for boxes of candy.

If your Sweet Baboo wants to
give you a box of candy,

he'll have to give it to you
elsewhere.

Linus: I'm not your Sweet Babo,

and you couldn't get me within
100 miles of elsewhere.

Alright, at ease out there.

Our teacher has asked me to
explain

how this valentine thing will
work.

Each student will drop his or
her valentine into this box.

Please write all names clearly.

And now we're down to the last
two valentines.

This one is for my Sweet Baboo.

And this one for the cutest of
the cute.

Will the persons to whom
these beautiful valentines

are addressed please step
forward.

Linus: I went home.

This is perfect.

I'll just lie here in
front of the mailbox

wnd watch all of my
Valentines come in.

I'm surprised that no one else
has thought of doing this.

Get out of there!

How do you expect
the mailman to deliver

Valentines with
you in there??

Sometimes I don't think this was
such a good idea.

Fortunately, nothing worse can
happen.

[thunder]

Wouldn't it be something if that
little red-haired girl

came over here and gave me a
kiss?

I'd say thank you, what was that
for?

And wouldn't it be
something if she said,

because I've
always loved you.

Then I'd give her a big hug
and she'd kiss me again!!

Wouldn't that be something?

Wouldn't it be something
if it turned out that

french fries were good for you?

She's handing Valentines
out to all her friends.

She's handing them
out, one by one.

She's handing them out.

She's still
handing them out.

Now she's all done.

That was the last one.

Now she's walking away.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Don't give up,
Charlie Brown!

Why don't you get her phone
number and call her and

invite her to the
Valentine's Dance?

I'm afraid she'd
hang up on my face!!

That's the beauty of
calling her on the phone.

One ear is not a whole face.

Thank you ma'am.

There I did it!!

Hello?

Information?

Yes, I'd like to talk to a
certain little red-haired girl.

No, I already
have her number.

I was hoping you could
tell me something else.

What do I say when
she ansers the phone?

Call her, Charlie Brown.

[phone rings]

Hello?

This is Marcie speaking.

Good Grief!

I dialed the wrong number!!

Is that you Charles?

It sounds like your voice.

If it is, how have you been?

If it isn't what do I
care how you've been?

Eh, ah, um.

I'll bet you dialed
my number by mistake,

didn't you Charles?

I'll bet you meant to
call Peppermint Patty.

She just happens to be
right here beside me.

I'll put her on.

No!! Wait!! I -

Hi Chuck.

Finally got up the
nerve to call me, eh?

I bet you called to invite
me to your Valentine Dance.

Well I accept.

Where are you
going, Big Brother??

Well, I finally got up the
nerve to call that little

red-haired girl, but I
called Marcie by mistake,

and got a date with
Peppermint Patty.

I think you're too
wishy-washy big brother.

It's not a lost art.

I'm feeding you early because
I'm going to a dance tonight.

I'm hoping I get to dance with
the little red-haired girl.

I didn't know you
were coming along,

who invited you?

How will I get you in??

Hold it right there dude!

This is a dance.

The dog can't Come in!!

There was a
misunderstanding,

this little kid thought It was
going to be a costume ball,

so he wore a dog suit.

Okay, go on in,
have a great time.

Hi Charlie Brown,
welcome to the dance!

Everyone is here.

I hope we're not too late.

See? There she is,
Charlie Brown.

There's the little red-
haired girl just waiting

for you to ask her to dance.

I wish I were sophisticated like
guys you read about in stories.

It's now or
never Charlie Brown.

I can't believe
I'm doing this.

I'm walking toward the
little red-haired girl.

I'm going to
ask her to dance.

I'm getting closer.

I'm almost there. I'm -

Come on Charles!

Chuck, we've been
looking for you.

Good Grief!!

Charlie Brown, quick, it's the
last dance, you've got to.

Oh no!
She's taken!!

Good Grief!!

The valentine dance
wasn't very romantic Chuck.

And I saved you the
waltz, Charles.

How about a limo, Chuck?

We never saw a limo either.

How come you fell
down during the dance?

Don't invite us to
anymore dances Chuck.

Many a heart is
broken after the ball.

I note that you didn't send
me a Valentine this year.

I have the feeling that
it was not an oversight.

I have the feeling
that it was deliberate!!

However, if I am wrong, and
it was merely an oversight,

or if the Valentine that
spoke so eloquently of your

love for me was
lost in the mail,

then I want to express my
appreciation for the thought!

It was not an oversight.

It did not get
lost in the mail!!

I see.

Well you know
the old saying.

What old saying?

Rats!

[doorbell rings]

I've come to see
my sweet Baboo.

Linus: I'm not your sweet
baboo!!

I just want to thank
him for the Valentine.

I never sent
her a Valentine.

Don't you know
sarcasm when you hear it?

I dreamed about that
little red-haired girl

again last night.

If I could have had
just one dance with her!

Now I'll be thinking
about her all day

and be depressed.

I think I know how you
feel, Charlie Brown.

You'd like to cry
but you're too macho.

I am?

Happy Valentine's
Day, Charlie Brown!!!
