Charlie Brown should remember the times when he’s been the goat and consider how that felt before talking to Lucy about her error.

Does “quiet time” refer to something specific? In some Christian circles it means a time of solitary prayer and Bible reading. Schulz would definitely make a joke like that, but I suspect that meaning of “quiet time” wasn’t part of his idiom.
