Monologue You're A Good Man Charlie Brown

Written by Clark Gesner, from the comic strip by Charles Schultz.

Charlie Brown: I think lunchtime is about the worst time of day for me. Always having to sit here alone. Of course, sometimes, mornings aren't so pleasant either. Waking up and wondering if anyone would really miss me if I never got out of bed. Then there's the night, too. Lying there and thinking about all the stupid things I've done during the day. And all those hours in between when I do all those stupid things. Well, lunchtime is among the worst times of the day for me.

Well, I guess I'd better see what I've got. Peanut butter. Some psychiatrists say that people who eat peanut butter sandwiches are lonely...I guess they're right. And when you're really lonely, the peanut butter sticks to the roof of your mouth.

There's that cute little red-headed girl/boy eating her/his lunch over there. I wonder what she/he would do if I went over and asked her/him if I could sit and have lunch with her/him?...She’d/he'd probably laugh right in my face...it's hard on a face when it gets laughed in. There's an empty place next to her/him on the bench. There's no reason why I couldn't just go over and sit there. I could do that right now. All I have to do is stand up...I'm standing up!...I'm sitting down. I'm a coward. I'm so much of a coward, she/he wouldn't even think of looking at me. She/He hardly ever does look at me. In fact, I can't remember her/him, ever looking at me.

Why shouldn't she/he look at me? Is there any reason in the world why she/he shouldn't look at me? Is she/he so great, and I'm so small, that she/he can't spare one little moment?...S/HE'S LOOKING AT ME!! S/HE'S LOOKING AT ME!!...

Lunchtime is among the worst times of the day for me. If that little red-headed girl/boy is looking at me with this stupid bag over my head she/he must think I'm the biggest fool alive. But, if she/he isn't looking at me, then maybe I could take it off quickly and she'd never notice it. On the other hand...I can't tell if she/he's looking, until I take it off! Then again, if I never take it off I'll never have to know if she/he was looking or not. On the other hand...it's very hard to breathe in here. Whew! She/He's not looking at me! I wonder why she/he never looks at me? Oh well, another lunch hour over with...only 2,863 to go.
