My Favorite Quotes From ‘Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown’

Love is in the air for the Peanuts gang

As with other holiday movies from the Peanuts gang, watching Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown* is a yearly tradition in Chez Wellington thanks to the nostalgia it brings. And the cute quotes! The following are some of my favorite quotes from the movie as the characters navigate Valentine’s Day.

1. “What are you doing, Charlie Brown?”

“I’m waiting for valentines.”

“Oh, well, good luck.”

“Thank you.”

“You’ll need it.”

“You didn’t have to say that!”

~Lucy and Charlie Brown

2. “She said my name. Did you hear that? Did you hear how she said my name?”

“Of course she said your name. She was calling the roll.”

“But it’s more than that. I feel that Miss Othmar really likes me.”

“Don’t be ridiculous. To her, you’re just another student.”

“On the contrary, I have the feeling I’m somebody special.”

~Linus and Sally

3. “Miss Othmar must like me. It’s a privilege to be selected to pound erasers.”

“Some privilege.”

~Linus and Sally

4. “Sometimes I think you don’t realize that you could lose me. Are you sure you want to suffer the tortures of a memory of a lost love? Do you know the tortures of the memory of a lost love?”

~Lucy

5. “The amount of money that you spend on a present should be in direct proportion to the amount of affection that you have for that person.”

~Linus

6. “You’d better be careful, Linus. It’s not a good idea to fall in love with your teacher.”

“I didn’t say I was in love with her. I merely said I’m very fond of the ground on which she walks.”

~Violet and Linus

7. “The lovers embraced. True love has conquered.”

~Charlie Brown

8. “I can’t do it, I just can’t do it! I can’t fold anything, I can’t cut anything, I don’t know how to paste!”

~Sally

9. “What’s that briefcase for?”

“Well, in case I get a lot of valentines.”

~Schroeder and Charlie Brown

10. “Hey, you know that shaving lotion you advised me to buy for my teacher? I forgot he wears a beard.”

~Violet

11. “Is kindness and thoughtfulness something you can make retroactive?”

~Schroeder

12. “Well, maybe it wasn’t a total flop for me. At least they were 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 the start of a trend. Maybe this is a whole new trend for old Charlie Brown. Maybe this is the start of something big. Maybe next year I’ll get a whole bunch of valentines. Maybe next year I’ll need three briefcases instead of two.”

~Charlie Brown
