Pee-Wee's Playhouse

Script[]

  • Pee-Wee: (blows his silver whistle a few times to halt the gang's roughhousing) THAT'S BETTER! Now... I'd like to have an informal chat with you, okay?

(Everyone screams as "okay" flashes on the screen. Rather than blow into his silver whistle again, Pee-wee shoots a glare left and right at the Playhouse denizens, who fall quiet. After a second or two of silence, he begins his next line.)

  • Pee-Wee: (firmly) Now look, you guys know that I really like you, right?

(The Playhouse Gang, looking very guilty, nods in silence.)

  • Pee-Wee: (firmly) Good. Then, I'm sure you'll understand what I'm about to say! The playhouse is a place where we can all play. But you guys are playing too loud and too rough! You can't run around the Playhouse and scream and jump on the furniture! Now you know that you're welcome to come over and play anytime that you want! But for now, I think that the best thing for each of you to do is to go home and reflect on what I've just told you.

(The gang exits the house, depressed. Pee-wee watches from Mr. Window as they walk away, putting the whistle back in his pocket.)

Mr. Window: They're all gone, Pee-wee!

  • Pee-Wee: [cruelly] Rusty, since you're the newest member of the Playhouse Gang, you don't get a secret name.
(Rusty looks very upset.)
  • Pee-Wee: Just kidding! Your secret name will be Rusty-O!
  • Rusty: (cheers up) Oh, okay!

(Everyone screams as "okay" flashes on the screen.)

(during the flash card game)
Pee-wee: Opal-o, quick!
Opal: Eleven.
Pee-wee: Rusty-o, quick! (Rusty thinks too slow, and Pee-wee makes a buzzing noise) Err! Sorry, too late.
(The Playhouse Gang is drawing portraits of Pee-wee)
Rusty: Here's mine. (his paper is shown to be blank)
Pee-wee: Rusty-o, you didn't draw anything.
Rusty: Sure I did! I drew you in a snowstorm! (laughs while Pee-wee looks confused and disappointed)
Elvis: Look! It's Jambi the genie!
Jambi: Hiya, kids! What's the problemo?
Rusty: Pee-wee's head is stuck in the mouse hole! He can't get out!
Jambi: I always knew he had a big head.
Pee-Wee: Jambi, do something!
Jambi: Okay. (Everyone screams as "OKAY" flashes on screen.)
Jambi: Alright, kids, repeat after me! Mecca-lecca-hi-mecca-hiney-ho!
Playhouse Gang and Rusty: Mecca-lecca-hi-mecca-hiney-ho!
Jambi: Mecca-lecca-hi-mecca-chani-ho!
Playhouse Gang and Rusty: Mecca-lecca-hi-mecca-chani-ho!
Jambi: The wish is granted. Long live Jambi!
(His magic circle makes Pee-wee unstuck from the mousehole, only his head is shrunken.)
Pee-wee: (high-pitched voice) OH, NO!

(Jambi magically reverts Pee-wee's head back to normal. Everyone cheers.)

Magic Screen: Pee-wee, are you okay?
(Everyone screams as "OKAY" flashes on screen.)

Mr. Window: They're all gone, Pee-wee!
