Pee-wee's Sandwich and Pickle Demands
Pee-wee
All I wanted was a measly sandwich! I very nicely explained that I was starving. I'm starving! PLEASE!
[shouts impatiently]
Mr. Ryan
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! There's your sandwich. Is there anything else I can do for you, Pee-wee?
[finishes Pee-wee's sandwich]
Pee-wee
Well, I would like to have a pickle, if it's not too much trouble.
Mr. Ryan
No! No trouble at all, Pee-wee. Sorry, Otis. Sorry, Deke. Game's over. Pee-wee Herman wants a pickle. Here. Here's your darned pickle. Are you happy now?
[opens a barrel, knocking over Otis and Deke's chess board; extracts a pickle and hands it to Pee-wee]
Pee-wee
Mmm-hmm.
Sheriff
Listen up, everybody!
[enters]
Mr. Ryan
What's up, Sheriff?
Sheriff
I just got a call from Porterville. There's a big storm headin this way. You folks better get on home. Smilie, you start boardin up the store.
