Pee-wee's Big Adventure/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Pee-Wee's argument with Francis.

Pee-Wee: I wouldn't sell my bike for all the money in the world. Not for a hundred, million, billion, trillion dollars!
Francis: Then you're crazy.
Pee-Wee: I know you are but what am I?
Francis: You're a nerd.
Pee-Wee: I know you are but what am I?
Francis: You're an idiot!
Francis: I know you are but what am I?
Together: I know you are but what am I? IKnowYouAreButWhatAmIIKnowYouAreButWhatAmIIKnowYouAreButWhatAmIIKnowYouAreButWhatAmI...
Pee-Wee: Infinity.
Francis: No, I'm not.
Together: You are! No way! Knock it off! Cut it out!
Francis: Oh shut up, Pee-Wee.
Pee-Wee: Why don't you make me?
Francis: Why don't you make me?
Pee-Wee: Because, I don't make monkeys, I just train them.
Francis: Pee-Wee, listen to reason. (Pee-Wee put his hand on his ear to "listen") Come on!
Pee-Wee: Shhhh, I'm listening to reason.
Francis: Pee-Wee!
Pee-Wee: That's my name, don't wear it out.

  • Pee-Wee's friend who owns a magic shop pulls out a big head with an Evil Laugh.

Pee-Wee: NOOOOOOOOO!!!

  • The bath fight with Francis is hilarious.

Pee-Wee: (after locking the bathroom door) Go ahead; scream your head off! We're miles from where anyone can hear you! (maniacal laughter)

  • Pee-Wee scares some local punks by making an animal sound.

Punk: Hey, man! You're new in this turf. We don't take kindly to strangers around here!
Pee-Wee: GRRROOOWWWWLLL! (the gang runs away)

    • Still funny later on when Madam Ruby tries to remove his wet jacket and he hisses at her as well, causing her to recoil quickly.

Madam Ruby: Alright, you wanna wear a wet jacket it's alright with Madam Ruby.

  • Pee-Wee throws his hitchhiking thumb away when it didn't work.
  • "Kitty."
  • The hobo won't stop singing.
  • Pee-wee's impatience in the Alamo tour.
  • "I'M TRYING TO USE THE PHONE!"
    • Oh my God, just that whole scene at the biker bar. That still makes me laugh everytime I see it.
    • Pee-Wee cries when he accidentally knocked the motorcycles.
    • When Pee-Wee makes friends with the bikers and they let him borrow a bike. He gets on, rides off...and smashes into a sign.
  • Pee Wee is on the phone in a public phone booth, and needs to convince the person he's talking to that he's in Texas. So, he loudly sings, "The stars at night, are big and bright--" ... and the ENTIRE CROWD walking by on the sidewalk stops, turns, claps four times, and sings "Deep in the heaaaaaart of Texas!" in perfect unison.
    • Also about Texas, after a rodeo, Pee-wee says he doesn't remember anything...but he remembers the Alamo. Everyone around him cheers.
  • The chase through the soundstages and backlots, particularly as "bystanders" get swept up in it.
  • "Is this something you can share with the rest of us, Amazing Larry?!"

Pee-wee: Exhibit D: Jimmy what is this? Too late! Chip!
Chip: It looks like a pen.
Pee-wee: Exactly! I bought this pen exactly one hour before my bike was stolen. Why? What's the significance? I DON'T KNOW!

"Arrivederci, baby!"

  • "Paging Mr. Herman..."
