I once asked a wounded Spanish soldier I met on the train if Spain had anything equivalent to the US Purple Heart. He said, “No, we just have the inner satisfaction of having done our duty.” Which from his tone wasn’t all that satisfactory with a hipjoint full of hardware.
Interesting Lucy says that, because only a couple of years before Snoopy won the award for “Rookie of the Year.” Coincidentally, that was also the last time Shermy was seen in the strip.

Charles, when was the last time your team had a job well-done?

When have done nothing but lose and fail no matter how hard you try, you reach a point where instead of feeling frustrated, you simply don’t care.

You can say that with a straight face with your track record?

Charlie Brown has grit, and Snoopy as a short stop. Lucy only wants fame.

What job well done?, no one in your team does a good job… except for Schroeder, because he’s the catcher.

Well, the satisfaction of a job done. Or the satisfaction of a job attempted.
