Transcript:
Linus sits on the floor wearing a cowboy hat, holding his blanket and sucking his thumb. Lucy walks up and says, "Mom's going downtown, Linus . . . Do you want her to get you anything?"<br> <br> Linus says, "Tell her I need a new cowboy hat . . ." Lucy says, "What size?"<br> <br> Linus looks inside of the hat.<br> <br> Linus says, "Mediocre!"<br> <br>
Beautiful irony.
