Quotes 

• Pee-wee : [crying]  I wish it would stop raining!

  Jambi : Wish? Did somebody say "wish"?

  Pee-wee : Jambi, please! I wish it would stop raining! I wish it would stop raining!

  Jambi : You only get one wish!

  [laughs] 

  Pee-wee : Please, Jambi. I wish it would stop raining.

• Mr. Kite : Weather alert! Weather alert!

  Pee-wee : Hey, that's Mr. Kite.

  Mr. Kite : We're going to have some rain, Pee-Wee, and from the looks of those clouds, it's going to be a big storm.

  Pee-wee : Are you sure?

  Mr. Kite : [almost getting hit by a bolt of lightning]  Absolutely!

• Chairry : I wonder how long it will rain.

  Conky : According to my calculations, it's going to rain. All day.

  Globey : Gee, all day.

  Chairry : Boy, I guess the whole day is ruined.

  Globey : Why do you say that, Chairry?

  Chairry : Well, for one thing, Pee-wee's going to be sitting on me all day.

  Pee-wee : No way! Rainy days are special days. There's a lot of really fun stuff we can do while it's raining.

• Miss Yvonne : Hi, Pee-wee. I just called to say that I won't be able to come today because of the rain.

  Pee-wee : Well, I'll just take a rain check.

• [the rain sends Pterri flying into the Playhouse and hiding under Pee-wee's bed] 

  Pee-wee : Pterri?

  [Pterri is heard whimpering under the bed] 

  Pee-wee : What's the matter, Pterri?

  Pterri : [timidly peeking out]  I'm scared, Pee-wee!

  [ducks back under] 

  Pee-wee : Don't be scared of the rain, Pterri. Come on out.

  Pterri : [peeking out]  No!

  Pee-wee : Come on, Pterri.

  Pterri : [again peeking out]  N-N-No!

  Pee-wee : [reaching under bed to pull Pterri]  Pterri, come on. Come on.

  [pulls Pterri out] 

  Pee-wee : Come on.

  [he cuddles Pterri in his arms] 

  Pee-wee : See, Pterri, there's nothing to be afraid of.

  [there is a flash of lightning and a crash of thunder outside that causes Pterri to scream in fright; Pee-wee shushes him as he falls asleep in Pee-wee's arms, and Pee-wee gently puts the pterodactyl in his nest] 

• [the storm causes the power in the playhouse to go out, so Pee-wee gets a flashlight, which he holds up to his face] 

  Pee-wee : It's time... for ghost stories.

  [laughs evilly] 

  Pee-wee : Once upon a time, on a dark and rainy night, just like this, a scary ghost went "clomp, clomp, clomp". Clomp, clomp, clomp. The campers could hear its every move. Clomp, clomp, clomp! It was getting closer. Clomp, clomp, clomp.

  [suddenly, he hears the sound of something going "clomp, clomp, clomp" outside the playhouse; it opens the door, which creaks as it opens, and enters, still clomping, before turning on the light, which causes Pee-wee to let out a startled yell; but it's actually Reba the Mail Lady] 

  Pee-wee : Reba, I thought you were a ghost.

  Reba : Not even a ghost would come out on a day like this, only a mail lady.

• Housewife : Hello?

  Pee-wee : Hello. Is your refrigerator running?

  Housewife : I had just about enough of this. My husband is a police officer.

  [calls offscreen] 

  Housewife : Darryl?

  Policeman : Yes, dear?

  [the housewife gives the phone to her husband, the police officer, who addresses Pee-wee] 

  Policeman : What your name, kid?

  Pee-wee : Pee-wee Herman.

  Policeman : Well, you listen to me, Pee-wee Herman: making prank phone calls is against the law! If I wasn't such a nice guy, I'd take you downtown and throw you into JAIL! You'd have criminal record for the rest of your life. Would you like that?

  Pee-wee : Uh, no, sir, I mean, no, officer.

  Policeman : Yeah. All right, I'll let you go this time. But next time, you are going to JAIL!

  Pee-wee : There won't be a next time. I've learned my lesson, honest.
