"I'm here to see Francis!"

Butler: Francis is busy.

Pee-wee: Oh, really?
Where are they hosing him down?


[Great Moments in Screen Bitchery #301,
Paul Reubens in Pee Wee's Big Adventure]

JA from MNPP here.

There are about a dozen lines of incredible bitchery between Francis and Pee Wee that've become classic insults - "I know you are but what am I?" is right up there with "Et tu, Brute" as far as I'm concerned in lines for the ages - but I always loved this scene especially because Pee Wee's always at his best when he's deranged, and the way he stomps into that pool fully-clothed and they do battle like Godzilla and the Crab Monster among the tiny ships is hysterical.

Happy 25th anniversary, Pee Wee!

[If you've just seen The Kids Are All Right (it expanded considerably (nationwide at end of month) or Inception click on the titles for previous posts now that you're in the know. Also... I'm experiencing terrible case of creative block the past two days. All advice/tricks/suggestions to "get unstuck" from you creative types will be welcome in comments. I'll try anything out. And, no, I have no idea why I placed a photo of Godzilla in this post so it won't help to ask.]
