[last lines]

Linus van Pelt:
Did you turn in your report?

Charlie Brown:
[aghast] Yes.

Linus van Pelt:
What did the teacher say about it? What grade did you get?

Charlie Brown:
A D minus - the lowest grade without failing.

Linus van Pelt:
Gee, I'm sorry, Charlie Brown.

Charlie Brown:
The teacher said it looked like the sort of report that was written after midnight on the last day of Christmas vacation.

Linus van Pelt:
What did you say?

Charlie Brown:
What *could* I say? I congratulated her on her remarkable insight.

Linus van Pelt:
Did you see what our next assignment is?

Charlie Brown:
[lightens up] No! What is it?

Linus van Pelt:
To read "Crime and Punishment" by Dostoevsky.

[Charlie Brown faints off his desk]

Linus van Pelt:
Happy New Year, Charlie Brown.
