Quotes 

• Pee-wee Herman : [as he stops the theme song]  Oh, ha ha! I totally forgot! We're redecorating the Playhouse!

  [Winks] 

• Ricardo : Hey, Pee-wee. I almost forgot. I brought you a piece of foil for your foil ball.

  Pee-wee Herman : Oh, I forgot to tell you, Ricardo. My foil ball got so big, I couldn't keep it in the house.

  [everyone screams] 

  Ricardo : So what did you do with it?

  Pee-wee Herman : I donated it to the foil museum. Now I have a rubber band ball.

  Ricardo : Oh. Oh! Hey! Well, lucky for you, I just happen to have this extra rubber band.

• Billy Baloney : What's going on around here?

  Pee-wee Herman : We're totally redecorating the Playhouse, Billy.

  Billy Baloney : [looks around]  It looked better before.

  Pee-wee Herman : Ha ha! Oh, Billy, we haven't even started redecorating yet. First, we're giving everything a thorough cleaning.

  Magic Screen : I'm helping, Billy Baloney. I'm putting a fresh coat of paint on the Playhouse walls.

  Pee-wee Herman : You're doing a beautiful job, Magic Screen.

  Magic Screen : Thank you, Pee-wee.

• Pee-wee Herman : I hope you don't get dirty. It's such a mess in here.

  Miss Yvonne : Now don't you worry about that. You know my motto.

  Pee-wee Herman : No, what is your motto?

  Miss Yvonne : Be prepared.

  [Pee-wee and Miss Yvonne laugh] 

  Pee-wee Herman : Hey, that's the Boyscout's motto.

  Miss Yvonne : Oh, that must be where I heard it.

• Miss Yvonne : Pee-wee, why don't you have an open house.

  [everyone screams] 

  Pee-wee Herman : Okay, I will. Uh, what is one?

  Miss Yvonne : It's an informal type of party where you invite your friends to drop in whenever they want.

  Pee-wee Herman : I can't have a party. Just look at this place.

  Pterri : But when our friends come over, they can help us. Right, Miss Yvonne?

  Miss Yvonne : You have the idea, Pterri.

  Pee-wee Herman : Now, I've got the idea too. It's a great idea! We'll have an open house!

  [everyone screams]

  Floory : Hello, everybody.

  Pee-wee Herman : How long have you been here?

  Floory : I've been here forever. You just didn't notice me 'cause I was underneath your teepee.

  Pee-wee Herman : Well, why didn't you say something?

  Floory : Dah, I don't know. I guess I just didn't think of it.

  Pee-wee Herman : Well, from now on, I'm going to keep my teepee over there so you can play with us.

  Floory : Thanks, Pee-wee.

  Pee-wee Herman : [turns to Cowboy Curtis]  Gee, you never know where you're going to meet a new friend, huh?
