Big Top Pee-wee Quotes

Zelda Miss. Miss?! MISS! Miss, please, we're starving over here.

Duke Excuse me. We were here before them.

Zelda What do we have to do to get served over here?!

Duke I'm gonna take a bite outta that broad's bazoo if she doesn't get over here now!

Andy Down, Duke. Don't work yourself into a lather!

Pee-wee Why don't you take a picture? It'll last longer! AAH! Paparazzi!

Winnie Oh, Pee-wee, really. Now, children, Mr. Herman and I would like to have a quiet lunch. Why don't you play with Vance?

Students Yes, Miss Johnson.

Pee-wee I'm on my way to a career in agriculture. I hope to be the next George Washington Carver. You know who George Washington Carver was, Mace?

Mace Yes, I do. First President of the United States.

Pee-wee No. He was a scientist. His research as an agricultural chemist revolutionized farming. He was the father of the peanut. He discovered over 300 uses for it! Instant coffee, soap, and ink, to name just a few.

Andy You okay, boss?

Mace Well, my shins are banged up pretty bad. I think my ribs are broke, and it feels like I punctured a major organ, Andy. But I'm circus.

Pee-wee Herman I call this the hot dog tree, because...Well, it's a hot dog tree.

Vance Splendid! I'm very satisfied with these results, Pee-wee.

Pee-wee Me, too, Vance. If we keep going at this rate, people will only have to buy 1 tomato a year.

Vance We do not wanna end up with a low potassium level.

Pee-wee All I wanted was a measly sandwich! I very nicely explained that I was starving. I'm starving! PLEASE!

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?

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?

Pee-wee Mmm-hmm.

Sheriff Listen up, everybody!

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.
