My New Philosophy
Charlie Brown

[SALLY]

That's my new philosophy: Oh, yeah?

That's what you think!


[SCHROEDER]

Well, why are you telling me?


[SALLY]

What?


[SCHROEDER]

Why are you telling me?


[SALLY]

Why are you telling me? I like it!

That's a good philosophy: Why are you telling me?

Why are you telling me?


Why are you telling me?

My new philosophy

The teacher gave a D on last week's homework

She said, Miss Sally Brown,

Your grades are going down.

I could have told her-


[SCHROEDER]

Your new philosophy?


[SALLY]

My new philosophy!

[as teacher]

Miss B?

[as herself]

I'm she


Look see.

A D?

A D.

Well, why are telling me?

And that's my new philosophy!


[SCHROEDER]

That's your new philosophy?


[SALLY]

Why are you telling me?

My new philosophy!


[SCHROEDER]

That's great, Sally, but I've gotta go practice Chopin's

Nocturne in B-Flat minor.


[SALLY]

No!! I like it! No! That's a good philosophy.

No! No! No!


[SCHROEDER]

That's you new philosophy, huh?


[SALLY]

Yes. I mean-- No!

Just like a busy bee

Each new philosophy

Can fly from tree to tree and keep me moving

When life's a dizzy maze

On alternating days


I choose a different phrase-


[SCHROEDER]

Your new philosophy?


[SALLY]

My new philosophy!


[SCHROEDER]

Sally!

Some philosophies are simple:

Man does not eat by bread alone.

Some philosophies are clear:


[SALLY]

Leave your message at the sound of the tone.


[BOTH]

Some philosophies pick and choose

Deciding what goes in it.


[SCHROEDER]

Some take a lifetime,


[SALLY]

Mine take a minute.


[SCHROEDER]

But, Sally, anything that takes only a minute can't be

very lasting. For instance, Beethoven took over two years

to complete his brilliant Ninth Symphony.


[SALLY]

No!


[SCHROEDER]

I can't stand it!


[SALLY]

I can't stand it! I like it!

It's like a guarantee.

My new philosophy.

And things are sure to be a whole lot brighter

Oh, yeah? That's what you think!

Why are you telling me?

No!

I can't stand it!

Now life is free and easy,

Much more philosophy-zy,

With my brand new-


You know, someone had said that we should live every day as

if it were the last day of our life.


[LUCY (passing by and overhearing)]

Aaugh! This is the last day!! This is it!! I only have

twenty-four hours left!! Help me! Help me! This is the last

day!! Aaugh!


[SALLY]

Clearly, some philosophies aren't for all people.

And that's my new philosophy!
