That was all this nameless, faceless kid ever said whenever Charlie Brown tried to be friendly with him. He was Charlie's bunkmate at the summer camp where Marcie was introduced in 1971. He did nothing but sit on his bed and look at the wall so we could see only the back of his head. He even said those words to Peppermint Patty when she visited their cabin and was about to introduce herself and Marcie, making Peppermint Patty angry at Charlie Brown. Those were even his parting words to Charlie when camp was over. After camp, Charlie wrote him a letter, but the response was, of course, "Shut up and leave me alone." Finally, later, during the following school year, out of the blue, Charlie Brown received an unsolicited phone call from his old bunkmate. He tells Charlie Brown and Peppermint Patty to "shut up and leave me alone."

And then I want ‘em to leave me alone, because I’ve got some bigger things to do right here at home.”
