Transcript:
Charlie Brown holds onto his kite string. He turns around to look at the tabgled end, lying on the gruond behind him: "Oh, oh.." he says. Lucy sits on the ground next to him and watches the sky.<br> <br> Lucy asks, "What's the matter?"<br> <br> "I'm running out kite-string, Lucy..will you see what you can find?"<br> <br> She runs off, asking, "Does it have to be real kite string?" "No! Anything you can find!! Anything!....Hurry!"<br> <br> Lucy kneels on the ground and holds onto the end of the kite string: "I got a few things here that should help, Charlie Brown.." Lucy says. Charlie Brown doesn't turn around, but answers, "Good..tie 'em on.."<br> <br> "?" Charlie Brown looks on in amazement as he holds onto a necktie.<br> <br> and a cord..<br> <br> and a wire coat hanger...<br> <br> a teething ring..<br> <br> and a length of a chain link. "AAUGH!" Charlie Brown cries, jumping back and letting go. <br> <br> CLANK! Charlie Brown covers his mouth. <br> <br> He sits on the ground with his broken kite and makeshift string. He announces to Lucy: "YOU DRIVE ME CRAZY!"<br> <br>

Why would the chain bring down the whole thing? He couldn’t feed it any further, sure, but bring down the kite completely?

That chain must weigh five hundred times more than Charlie Brown and Lucy combined.

Never mind where she would have gotten an anchor chain, or how a 5-year-old would have lifted it. It’s just funny.
