• Pee-wee : [shouts impatiently]  All I wanted was a measly sandwich! I very nicely explained that I was starving. I'm starving! PLEASE!

  Mr. Ryan : [defeatedly]  Sorry, ladies. I guess you'll just have to wait. You remember, no one is as important in this community as Pee-wee Herman. All you other shoppers will just have to play second fiddle to Pee-wee. I guess that's just the way things are around here. My whole purpose in life is to serve Pee-wee Herman. And everything else comes second!

  [finishes Pee-wee's sandwich] 

  Mr. Ryan : There's your sandwich. Is there anything else I can do for you, Pee-wee?

  Pee-wee : Well, I would like a pickle if it's not too much trouble.

  Mr. Ryan : No! No trouble at all, Pee-wee. Sorry, Otis. Sorry, Deke.

  [opens a barrel, knocking over Otis and Deke's chess board; extracts a pickle and hands it to Pee-wee] 

  Mr. Ryan : Game's over. Pee-wee Herman wants a pickle. Here. Here's your darned pickle. Are you happy now?

  Pee-wee : Mmm-hmm.

• Vance : So how was lunch?

  Pee-wee : Fine, let's go get something to eat.

• Vance : We do not want to end up with a low potassium level.

  Pee-wee : Duh, Vance! You'd think I never went to agricultural junior college!

• Pee-wee : [singing]  Pee-wee Herman had a farm, E-I-E-I-O!

• Pee-wee : [children are staring at them]  Why don't you take a picture? It'll last longer!

  School children : [whip out cameras, flashbulbs go off] 

  Pee-wee : Ahh! Paparazzi!

  [poses suggestively] 

• Pee-wee : Good morning, Vance!

  Vance : Morning, Pee Wee.

  Pee-wee : Hah! Beautiful day, huh? Mm-mm!

  Vance : Mm... It's okay.

  Pee-wee : [singing]  Mm mm mm mm... Ah! Doo doo... Doo-doo. Mm mm mm, mm... Mm. Mm-mm-mm... Mm mm-mm-mm... La-la la-la... Ah! Pkhh!

  Vance : My, we are certainly in a good mood this morning.

  Pee-wee : That, my dear Vance, is the understatement of the year. Everything seems completely different to me today. The air smells so fresh. The sky seems a brand-new shade of blue. I don't think I've ever noticed the beauty of this leaf. And Vance! Have you always been so handsome?

  Vance : What the...

• Pee-wee : I call it... the hot dog tree, because... it's a hot dog tree.

• Winnie : [witnessing Pee-Wee and Gina sharing a long kiss]  Pee-Wee!
