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?
Lucy Van Pelt
Well, those clouds up there look to me look like the map of the British Honduras on the Caribbean. [points up] 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] ...gives me the impression of the Stoning of Stephen. I can see the Apostle Paul standing there to one side.
Linus Van Pelt
Uh huh. That's very good. What do you see in the clouds, Charlie Brown?
Lucy Van Pelt
Well... I was going to say I saw a duckie and a horsie, but I changed my mind.
Charlie Brown
Guess I might as well go to school. I can't waste a good lunch.
Linus Van Pelt
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.
Charlie Brown
Wait until you get my bill.
Lucy Van Pelt
Charlie Brown, you'll just make a fool of yourself!
Lucy
Besides that, you're Bound to be a complete failure!
Patty
Life is difficult, isn't it, Charlie Brown?
Linus Van Pelt
Yes, it is. But I've developed a new philosophy. I only dread one day at a time.
Charlie Brown
You know, Charlie Brown, they say we learn more from losing than from winning.
Linus Van Pelt
Then that must make me the smartest person in the world.
Charlie Brown
Well, I can understand how you feel. You worked hard, studying for the spelling bee, and I suppose you feel you let everyone down, and you made a fool of yourself and everything. But did you notice something, Charlie Brown?
Linus Van Pelt
The world didn't come to an end.
