John Paragon: Jambi, Pterri

Quotes 

• Pee-wee Herman : [in pain from a toothache]  HELP! JAMBI, HELP!

  [he pounds on Jambi's box] 

  Pee-wee Herman : JAMBI! HELP!

  [he keeps pounding on the box and calling Jambi's name, until it finally opens, revealing not Jambi, but an answering machine - the genie is on vacation] 

  Jambi : [on answering machine]  Hi. I'm not here to grant your wish right now. So leave your name and wish after the beep, and I'll be back to grant it just as soon as I can.

  [there's a comically loud "BEEP!" on the machine, and the box closes] 

• Pee-wee Herman : [on the Picture Phone]  Pee-wee's Playhouse, Pee-wee speaking.

  Jambi : Hi, Pee-wee!

  Pee-wee Herman : Hi, Jambi! How's your vacation going?

  Jambi : Great! I wish you were here.

  Pee-wee Herman : Wish? Did somebody say wish?

  [laughs] 

  Jambi : Hey! That's my line!

  Pee-wee Herman : Well, I just wish you'd have a good time. Say, Jambi, where are you?

  Jambi : Mount Rushmore.

• Pterri : I go to the dentist.

  Globey : I do, every six months.

  Chairry : Me too.

  Clockey : You get to ride up and down in a dentist's chair.

  Pterri : And you get to wear a bib.

  Flowers : And get your teeth's pictures taken.

  Miss Yvonne : What do you say, Pee-wee?

  Pee-wee Herman : Can you go with me?

  Miss Yvonne : Of course I will. Oh, and maybe there'll be enough time for me to get a check-up too.

  Pee-wee Herman : All right, I'll do it.

  [everyone screams]
