Transcript:
Lucy and Charlie Brown stand at the wall. Charlie Brown says, "I hate being a nothing! I refuse to go through the rest of my life as a zero!"<BR><BR> Lucy says, "What would you like to be, Charlie Brown, a five? Or how about a twenty-six? Or a par seventy-two?"<BR><BR> Lucy continues, "I know what you could be, Charlie Brown . . A square root!"<BR><BR> Lucy says, "I think you'd make a great square root, Charlie Brown . ." Charlie Brown says, "I can't stand it!"<BR><BR>
Aside from just being a weird tangent to what CB was talking about, Lucy’s conclusion is actually kind of insulting if you think about it. She’s saying that he have to be multiplied by himself again to amount to anything substantial!
