[chuckles]
Oh, hi, boys and girls!
I was just reading
one of my favorite books.
I love to read, Pee-wee.
Me, too, Magic Screen.
It sure is fun
once you know how.
- Uh-huh!
- Well,
I'll finish reading
this book later.
I'm going to put
a book-marker in it
so that I'll be able
to find my place.
Hey, Pee-wee,
the playhouse gang is coming!
Yippee! Company!
- Pee-wee!
Pee-wee!
Playhouse gang!
Hey, Pee-wee,
What's today's secret word?
I don't know, Fabian.
Let's go ask Conky.
[whirring]
Conky 2000,
ready to assist you.
Good morning, Pee-wee.
Good morning, gang.
[all] Good morning, Conky.
Hey, Lil Punkin,
would you like to ask Conky
what today's secret word is?
[chuckling] Lil Punkin.
I'll ask him, Pee-wee.
All right, Rapunzel.
Yes, you may.
Hey, Conky.
What's today's secret word?
Today's secret word
is "easy."
Thank you, Rapunzel.
Now, you all remember
what to do
whenever anyone says
the secret word, right?
[all] Scream!
That's right!
For the rest of the day,
whenever anyone says
the secret word,
scream real loud.
Ready? Let's try it.
Oh, Magic Screen,
I don't suppose you could you
tell me what two plus two
equals, could you?
Four. That's easy.
[all screaming]
What? You didn't
have breakfast?
Lil Punkin,
breakfast is the most
important meal of the day.
I didn't have
breakfast either.
Rapunzel, Rapunzel,
you are a wild woman.
Hey, I know!
Let's make a
breakfast snack.
[shouting excitedly]
I'll have some OJ,
link sausages,
a stack of waffles,
and four eggs, over easy.
[all screaming]
I don't think so, Fabian.
Walk this way, gang.
Let's have cereal
and fresh fruit,
a delicious snack
that's fast and easy.
[all screaming]
What kind of
breakfast cereals
do you have, Pee-wee?
Hmm. Let me see.
Corn flakes, bran flakes,
wheat flakes, oat flakes,
and flake flakes.
[both] Mmm. Flaky!
Now, for some delicious
fruit and milk, hmm?
[upbeat music playing]
[chuckling]
[screaming in pain]
[humming]
Let's see.
Blueberries,
raspberries,
and strawberries.
[giggling]
Just pour some flakes,
into a bowl.
[humming]
Now, add a little
fresh fruit...
It's important to wash fruit
before you eat it,
and a little milk.
[Pee-wee mooing]
Here you go, Lil Punkin.
All right, gang. Dig in!
Presenting...
- Presenting...
[all] His royal majesty,
the king of cartoons!
♪ That's right
You heard us correctly ♪
♪ He'll be right in directly ♪
♪ To present

♪ Shoo-bee, doo-bee
Doo-bee, doo-wah ♪

[bugle sounding]
[all] Yay!
Good morning, everybody.
[all] Good morning, king.
You came at the perfect
time, your majesty.
Cereal and cartoons...
Perfect combination.
Ah, yes.
I had a big bowl
of cereal this morning,
and I cut up a little
fresh fruit on it.
And did we enjoy it.
Well, I must be off.
Wait, your majesty!
Aren't you forgetting something?
Am I?
I wouldn't be surprised.
Oh, yes!
Let the cartoon begin!
[growling]
[scatting]
[all cheering]
Look what I found.
A whole bunch
of pipe cleaners!
Yeah, and we're making
junk out of them.
I don't think junk
is the word you meant
to use, Fabian.
Well, what is the word
I meant to use, Pee-wee?
Stuff! We're making stuff
out of pipe cleaners.
I'm making a Christmas tree.
I'm making a race car.
I'm making a dinosaur!
[squeals]
What are you making,
Lil Punkin?
Oh, you're making
a pipe cleaner!
[chuckles]
Oh, Lil Punkin.
Oh, that's the last one.
Thanks for helping, gang.
[all] You're welcome, Pee-wee.
When everybody helps,
even a hard job can be easy.
[all screaming]
Let's play something, Pee-wee.
Hmm. I know, Fabian.
Let's play school!
School? Yuck!
But how do you
really feel, Randy?
School's a stupid
game to play.
School's boring.
No, it isn't.
School is fun.
You get to learn
a lot of great stuff,
meet a lot of great friends,
and have All kinds of fun!
Hey, come on!
Let's play school!
I'll be the teacher!
I'll be the blackboard!
Great, Magic Screen.
You guys can be the pupils.
Pupils? Pupils!
I'll be the globe, Pee-wee.
Wise choice, Globey.
I'll tell you
what I'll be, Pee-wee.
What's that, Randy?
I'll be up in my room.
Taking it easy.
[all screaming]
All right, class.
Settle down.
Now, let's begin by saying
the pledge of allegiance.
Would you please stand?
[all] I pledge
allegiance to the flag
of the United States of America
and to the republic
for which it stands,
one nation,
under God, indivisible,
with liberty and justice
for all.
Very good.
Please be seated.
Now, today I thought
We'd begin with a little
lesson in American history.
[snoring]
Young man, there will be
no snoring in the classroom!
But history is dull.
Can't we learn about
something more exciting?
What could be more exciting
than history?
Oh, the thrills,
the chills, the spills,
the splendor of it all.
Why, if you use
your imagination,
history can be the most
exciting subject of all.
Really? Okay.
Now, who can tell me
who discovered America?
I can, teacher...
- Pterri?
- Christopher Columbus.
Very good, Pterri.
Teacher's pet.
[Pee-wee] In Columbus' time,
people thought the world
was flat.
So Christopher Columbus
set sail to prove
the world was round.
He sailed with three ships.
The Nina, The Pinta,
and The Santa Maria.
I don't know.
I can't see nothing
out of this thing.
Excuse me, Mr. Columbus.
There. That should be better.
Ah! That's much better!
Hey, look!
It's a new land!
What do you think
we should call it?
Hmm, America has a nice
ring to it, Chris.
America. That's nice.
And so, Christopher Columbus
not only proved that
the world was round,
but he also discovered
America as well
But it wasn't easy.
[all screaming]
Boy, history sure is exciting
when you put your
imagination to it, Pee-wee.
That's teacher, young man.
Teach some more, Pee-wee--
I mean, teacher.
All right. Who would
like to learn
about the Declaration
of Independence?
[all] I would!
[Pee-wee] The Declaration
of Independence
is one of the most
important documents
in America's history.
Its signing is what we
celebrate on the 4th of July
every year
because that's
the day it was signed on
in the year 1776,
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
I think we should all
applaud Thomas Jefferson
for doing such a good job
of writing this Declaration
of Independence.
Yeah! Sign it! Yeah!
Now, gentlemen,
Let's sign it.
Does anyone
have a quill?
Here you go, Mr. Franklin.
It's a ball-point pen,
makes writing easy.
[all screaming]
John Hancock.
Think you wrote it
big enough, John?
May I, Ben?
Hey, teacher, Mrs. Rene
is coming!
Class, you may put
your heads on your desks.
- Hi, Pee.
- Hi, Mrs. Rene.
Looks like I'm interrupting
a real swinging party.
We were just
playing school.
Oh, I loved school.
I'll never forget
the happy times
I had in acting school.
- You went to acting school?
- Of course.
You don't think I was born
with this talent, do you?
Well, to tell you the truth,
Mrs. Rene,
I never thought about it before.
I know. Let me be
the teacher.
And we'll play
acting school.
[all] Yippee!
All right, class.
First, I will give you
an example of excellent acting.
I will perform
the role of Juliet
from William Shakespeare's
great play,
Romeo and Juliet.
[exhales]
That is called preparation.
Romeo, Romeo...
Wherefore art thou, Romeo?
Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
What? You don't applaud
a great actress
when you see one?
Do you think acting is easy?
[all screaming]
That's more like it.
Thank you, thank you very much.
Now let's begin with
the simple techniques.
First, everybody act happy.
♪ La la la
La la la la ♪
I'm so happy!
[giggling]
♪ La la la
La la la la ♪
[all] I'm so happy!
Groovy!
Now let's all act sad.
Boo hoo hoo hoo hoo!
I'm so sad!
[bawling]
[all] Boo hoo hoo hoo hoo!
I'm so sad!
How impressive!
Knock, knock!
[all] Knucklehead!
Knock, knock.
- Who's there?
- Dishes.
- Dishes who?
- Dishes a fire drill.
- Ring, ring, ring!
- [alarm sounding]
- Fire drill!
- [screaming]
All right, class,
calmly line up
in single file,
and we'll exit the playhouse
in an orderly fashion!
Hey, Pee-wee! Let's play
dental hygienist school.
Let's not
and say we did.
I'm scared of
the dentist, Chairry.
But dentists
are our friends.
- Right, Pee-wee?
- That's right, Chairry.
Dentists are here
to help us.
So you don't need
to be afraid, Fabian.
I used to be scared
of the dentist
until I saw this.
Watch!
[narrator] Everybody knows that
brushing three times a day
is very important
to keeping our teeth healthy.
But the best friend
our teeth have
is our family dentist.
That's right,
the dentist is a doctor
whose job is to keep
your teeth healthy.
He checks
our teeth and gums
for signs of trouble.
Here, Alice's dentist uses
an x-ray machine
to check for
cavities in her teeth.
Hmm, let's take
a look, Alice.
Uh-oh! There's a cavity.
But Alice's dentist can
fix that right away.
and if she
cuts down on sweets
and continues to brush,
her teeth will stay healthy
for a long, long time.
Yes, your teeth have
two great friends...
Your toothbrush
and your dentist.
[Fabian] Thank you,
Magic Screen.
That dentist
looked very nice.
Maybe I'll be
a dentist when I grow up.
[Globey] I know what
I want to be.
I want to work
at the United Nations
translating foreign languages.
I want to be a fireman.
Me, too!
Gee, I don't know
what I want to be.
Yeah, me, neither, Fabian,
but that's okay.
There's a lot
of occupations out there,
so you shouldn't make up
your mind before checking out
the possibilities.
Eh, what's the use
of thinking about
what you want to be?
Kids can't do nothing.
Yes, they can.
I know a lot of you out there
have special talents.
Why, some of you
even have jobs, right?
You can? You would?
All right, Lil Punkin.

Hey, that was great,
Lil Punkin.
Hey, I know, why don't
we all watch a Penny cartoon?
[both] I don't know.
Why don't we?
Hello. My name is Penny.
I like doing the salad
because I can do
lots of kinds of salads.
I'd like to be a cat
because cats have
nine lives.
I've never been fishing.
I wouldn't like to be a fish
because, like, if there was
a bigger fish or something,
they would try to eat me.
When I grow up,
I'd be a dancing teacher.
I talk to boys at school,
except I don't
play with them.
I play kickball,
and sometimes
I play basketball.
I like ladybugs.
[screaming]
Meteor storm!
[all] Oh!
Know what I think
about sometimes?
No. What, Pee-wee?
Sometimes I wish
I was a rock 'n' roll star.
Wish? Did somebody say wish?
[all] Jambi!
Hey, what have you dudes
and dudettes been doing?
We were
playing school, Jambi.
Well, you should
have told me.
I could have been
the head of the class.
[laughing]
Oh, me and those
genie jokes,
sometimes I crack myself up.
Anyway, what's your wish?
I was just saying how
I always wished
that I could be
in a rock 'n' roll band.
That's easy.
[all screaming]
Hey, would
you guys like to be
in Pee-wee's rock band, too?
[all] Sure!
All right, then
repeat after me in Jambese.
Mekka Lekka Hi,
Mekka Hiney Ho.
[all] Mekka Lekka Hi,
Mekka Hiney Ho.
Mekka Lekka Hi,
Mekka Channey Ho.
Mekka Lekka Hi,
Mekka Channey Ho.
One, two, three, four!
[playing rock 'n' roll music]
[applause]
Hey!
Thank you!
Thank you! Thank you!
Thank you!
[gasping]
That was so cool!
Hey, Pee-wee, do you know
What time it is?
No, Clockey,
what time is it?
It's time to go.
[all] Oh!
We were having
so much fun!
[all] I know.
- Bye, Pee-wee.
- Bye!
Bye!
[squeaks]
Thanks for coming over
again today, gang!
[all] Bye, Pee-wee!
And thanks to everyone
at home for watching.
Hey, I'll see
you real soon, okay?
And until then,
take it easy!
[all screaming]
[screaming]
