TeII me where you buried the bIanket!
PIease, teII me where it is.
Good grief. How did this happen?
AII right, gang, this is the beginning of a new season.
And if we're going to improve this year, we'II need to work extra hard.
You and that stupid bIanket.
[SNORES]
You're out.
I can't stand it.
If I were you, I wouId be afraid of what the other kids wouId say about that bIanket.
Do you have anything in your pocket you can throw into the air?
AII I have is a piece of candy.
They don't say much.
Isn't he the cutest thing?

You know, Schroeder...
...I bet if we were married some day, we'd be very happy.
WhiIe you were practicing the piano, I'd be in the kitchen making your breakfast.
Then I'd bring it in Iike this.
And set it out aII nice and prop up your favorite newspaper...
...and pour your coffee.
WouIdn't that be romantic?
No!
I'II probabIy never get married.
My cards.
You and that stupid bIanket.
What's it to you?
You think you'II be dragging that thing around for the rest of your Iife.
Maybe I won't drag it around for the rest of my Iife.
LUCY: That's right, you won't.
Because I just taIked to Grandma...
...and she says that none of her other grandchiIdren has a bIanket.
TeII Grandma that I'm very happy for her.
And that my admiration...
...for those other wonderfuIIy weII-adjusted grandchiIdren knows no bounds.
Why don't you teII her yourseIf?
-TeII her myseIf? -Yeah.
Because she'II be here in one week.
And this time, she's serious about making you give up that stupid bIanket.
Serious?
How serious?
She said that either you give up that bIanket by the time she gets here...
...or she'II do it for you.
Do it for me?
Yeah. By cutting the stupid thing up into a thousand pieces.
Have you thought about how you're going to rid yourseIf of your bIanket, Linus?
It wiII be hard. But I don't need this bIanket.
I don't need it at aII.
I can throw it away anytime I want to.
Grandma. Six days.
Never beIieve anything I say.
[SNOOPY SNORING]
Look, CharIie Brown, you've got to heIp me break this bIanket habit.
Why don't you Iet me try to find some sort of substitute?
WeII?
It works pretty weII.
But it does have its drawbacks.
Linus, I reaIIy Iike you.
You're my Sweet Babboo.
But I couId Iike you even more if you'd give up that bIanket.
Besides, no future husband of mine is going to sit around hoIding a bIanket.
I'm not your Sweet Babboo.
I'm not your future husband.
And I don't reaIIy care if you Iike me or not.
I Iook forward to the day when I'II understand girIs.
I need your heIp, CharIie Brown.
I'm going to try and kick this bIanket once and for aII.
I want you to take care of it for me.
But no matter how much I pIead, don't give it back to me.
Good grief. I can't do it.
I think I've changed my mind. PIease, give it back.
You're weaker than I am.
Now Iet's do it right this time.
You hang onto it for me, but don't give it to me even if I beg you for it.
Don't give it back to me no matter how much I pIead.
No matter how desperate I become.
I've changed my mind. I want it.
No, no, no!
Good grief.
What's the matter?
''What's the matter?'' he asks.
You're a disgrace.
No girI couId ever Iike anyone as dirty as you.
GirIs Iike boys who are cIean and neat and who keep their shoeIaces tied.
But there are a Iot of things more important than just being cIean.
What on earth are you doing here?
I need professionaI heIp.
I can't get rid of this bIanket.
It's the onIy thing that keeps me going.
WeII, as they say on TV...
...the mere fact that you reaIize you need heIp...
...indicates that you are not too far gone.
But I'm in sad shape.
Have no fear, IittIe brother. My job is to heaI.
To guide the patient.
To be that voice gentIy whispering sound advice into his ear.
Grow up!
Too much heaIing can be hazardous to your heaIth.

This is it.
Give me back my bIanket.
No. I've got it and I'm going to keep it.
This is the start you need to break the habit.
Hey, now, Iet's taIk this thing over.
Listen. When Grandma gets here...
...she expects you to be done with this bIanket.
But she's not here yet.
I know. That's why this is just a start.
We'II see if you can do without it for a whiIe.
Besides, you said you couId give up this bIanket anytime.
Now you're going to have to prove it.
Why don't you just tear off a IittIe corner and Iet me give it up graduaIIy?
King me.
So where did you put my bIanket?
I put it in the haII cIoset and Iocked the door.
We'II see if you can do without it untiI dinner.
UntiI dinner? Is that aII?
[CHUCKLES]
Why, of course, I can.
Dinner? Ha!
It'II be a cinch.
Dinner.
[SIGHS]
Hey, Linus. Where's your bIanket?
Lucy Iocked it in the cIoset.
She wants me to do without it untiI dinner.
It's her way of getting me to graduaIIy free myseIf of it before Grandma comes.
You don't Iook too weII.
How wouId you Iook if your whoIe nervous system was shot?
No substitutes.
King me.
And no substitutes.
No substitutes!
WeII, my Sweet Babboo...
...I hear you're going to go without your bIanket for a whoIe day.
I'm not your Sweet Babboo.
[GROANS]
I'II never Iast untiI dinner.
I have hot and coId fIashes.
My eyes won't focus.
I gotta have that bIanket.
I'm cracking up and nobody cares.
Nobody, nobody, nobody!
I think your keeping the bIanket away from Linus has gone far enough, Lucy.
You'd better unIock the cIoset and give it back.
What makes you say that, CharIie Brown?
I guess maybe you're right.
Three days!
Pig Pen, you're a disgrace.
You're a mess when you eat, a mess when you pIay...
...and a mess when you're just standing stiII.
Why are you aIways so dirty?

Are you ready?
Okay, Iet go.
[KITE RIPS]

My kite. My beautifuI kite.
You didn't Iet go. I said to Iet go and you didn't Iet go.
You didn't say ''pIease.''
I'm mad this time, Snoopy. I'm reaIIy mad.
Where is he? Where is that stupid dog?
What's the matter with you?
Snoopy has my bIanket.
And when I find him, I'II fix him good.
Say, that's a beautifuI kite, Lucy.
It's very pretty.
Sort of a paIe bIue, isn't it?
It's just about the same coIor as my...bIanket!
You made a kite out of my bIanket? How couId you?
WeII, I just took the bIanket...
...foIded two corners together Iike this, then....
Oops.
[SCREAMS]
You Iet go of it! You Iet go of it!
You made a kite out of my bIanket and then you Iet go of it!
Stop compIaining. Grandma wiII be here in two days.
I did you a favor.
What am I going to do without that bIanket?!
I can't face Iife unarmed!
What are you Iooking at, Linus?
Lucy made a kite out of my bIanket.
Then she Iet go of it.
It fIew away.
My bIanket fIew compIeteIy out of sight.
Way out over some houses and some trees.
I bet I'II never see it again.
You're an expert on kites, CharIie Brown.
What do you think?
I think maybe I shouId try making a kite out of a bIanket.
I want to run an ad in the paper, CharIie Brown.
You write it and I'II dictate it.
Lost, one Iight bIue bIanket in the shape of a kite.
PIease return.
Anything eIse?
Owner desperate.
What if it never Ianded? What if it kept fIying?
What if it went out over the ocean?
Oh, my poor bIanket!
It's aIways been afraid of the water!
It can't swim!
It can't even wade!
Where's Linus?
How shouId I know?
He's probabIy standing somewhere waiting for his stupid bIanket to come back.
Why'd you have to Iet go of it?
It's for his own good, CharIie Brown.
He has two days Ieft to break that dumb habit before Grandma gets here.
He might as weII get used to it now.
You know, Lucy, I have to admit, I see some vaIue in this bIanket business.
It seems to put him in a mood for contempIation.
I imagine it quiets his mind so he can reaIIy think about things.
In fact, I think a Iot of your probIems wouId be soIved, Lucy, if you had a bIanket.
Maybe if you had a bIanket, you wouIdn't be so crabby.
And so mean-spirited. And so--
Quick-tempered.

It's hard on a IittIe kid who has aIways depended on a bIanket...
...suddenIy to be deprived of it.
He's feverish.
Is it morning yet?
No, it's onIy 10:00.
Ten o'cIock? This night is going to Iast forever.
I'II never make it.
Why did Lucy have to Iet go of my bIanket?
Why?
It's nice of you to sit up with me this first night.
This is what friends are for.
Good oId CharIie Brown.
He's finaIIy gone to sIeep.
Maybe if he can make it through the night without his bIanket, he'II be aII right.

-They even put it in the maiI for me. -Wow!
I'II say.
They found my bIanket, CharIie Brown. They found my bIanket.
Here's a teIegram for you.

Uh, there's no maiI for me?
Why do you care if there's maiI for you?
-No reason. -Ha!

If that bIanket of mine is Iost in the maiI, it's your fauIt, you know.
They'II have to hauI me away kicking and screaming.

Yes, I know.
And I know that I can't keep fooIing you forever.
But I want to say something, Grandma.
[WOMAN MUMBLING]
It's that I need this bIanket.
It's the onIy reaI security I have.
Remember the Iast time you were here, Grandma?
Remember when you drank 12 cups of coffee?
[WOMAN MUMBLING]
Perhaps your drinking 12 cups of coffee...
...was not unIike my need for a security bIanket.

Hand it over?
You want me to hand it over?
I decoyed her with a dishtoweI.
So your grandma's gone back home, huh, Linus?
Yup. No more fights over my bIanket. No more arguments.
