You're Not Elected, Charlie Brown (1972 TV Short)

Hilary Momberger-Powers: Sally Brown

Quotes 

• Sally Brown : Well, I hope you told him.

  Linus van Pelt : Well, not really. As a matter of fact, he told me.

  Sally Brown : He sold out! We elected him, and he sold out! They're all the same! Promises, promises! You elect them, and they weasel out of their promises!

• [Sally and Charlie Brown come to a sign that reads, "School Bus Stop 100 Feet"] 

  Sally Brown : I've been looking at that sign every day, and I finally figured out what it means. It means that the bus holds fifty kids. Each kid has two feet, right? One hundred feet means the bus holds fifty kids!

• Sally Brown : I'm never going to school again! I've had it!

  Charlie Brown : What's the matter, Sally? Why are you upset? Is your teacher giving you trouble again?

  Sally Brown : No, nothing's wrong with my teacher. She's a very nice person.

  Charlie Brown : Is it one of the classes?

  Sally Brown : No, the classes are okay.

  Charlie Brown : Are you having trouble with math? Don't you understand fractions and decimals?

  Sally Brown : No, I don't find it hard. In fact, I even got a hundred on my test yesterday.

  Charlie Brown : Are you having any trouble with the kids on the playground?

  Sally Brown : No, no, no. That's all right.

  Charlie Brown : Well, then, what's the trouble?

  Sally Brown : I can't get my stupid locker open!

• Sally Brown : What are you going to have for breakfast?

  Charlie Brown : Maybe I'll have a piece of toast. I'm never very hungry in the morning.

  Sally Brown : You can't go to school without a rousing breakfast. It's a known fact that all of our country's Presidents started each day with a rousing breakfast. I don't know how they managed to get together every morning, but I guess that's one of those things about government I don't understand.

• Charlie Brown : You have to remember that sometimes you have to tap the lock on the bottom to make it open. Some of these locks are kinda touchy. You have to make sure you dial the numbers just right. I had one once that I had to hit on the bottom before it would open.

  Sally Brown : Mine won't open because I can't reach it, that's why!

• Sally Brown : For show-and-tell today, I have a treat for you. I'm presenting my big brother. Now actually, he's my big brother only because he was lucky enough to be born first.

  [whispering to Charlie Brown] 

  Sally Brown : Stand up straight! I'm trying to get an "A" in show-and-tell. Don't goof it for me!

  [out loud] 

  Sally Brown : Actually, big brothers come in a variety of sizes and qualities. Anyway, this is my big brother, and I just thought I would present him to you today for show-and-tell.

  [takes a bow] 

  Sally Brown : Thank you.

  Charlie Brown : [leaves Sally's class]  That's the most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to me my whole life.
