Pee-wee trains Aloysius

Episode Plot

Today's secret word is "over". Cowntess shows Pee-wee home movies of her vacation. Globey teaches Pee-wee how to say "Hello, my name is _____" in French and Chinese. The King of Cartoons finds a lost puppy on the porch. Everyone wonders what to name the dog. Pee-wee says he wishes he knew, when Jambi appears, and sneezes. Pee-wee tells him the wish, but Jambi denies, due to his allergy to dogs, therefore he cannot grant wishes involving dogs. Pee-wee calls Mrs. Rene and she tells him what to do. Pee-wee names the dog Aloysius. Everyone enjoys the puppy and wishes to keep it, but when Reba comes to the house, she sees that she's found her own missing pet dog, Aloysius. Everyone makes macaroni art, but Randy makes some mac and cheese to have as a snack.
