It can be boiled, shucked,

creamed...

...or in this case dried.

Corn can also be used to make...

...tortillas.

Do we have any Mexican-Americans

with us today?

There are thousands and thousands

of uses for corn...

...all of which I will

tell you about right now.

Upon this battlement, in 1836...

...two hundred Texas volunteers...

...including such heroes as

Davy Crockett, Bill Travis, Jim Bowie...

...fought off an onslaught

of 4,000 Mexicans...

...under the command of

General Antonio Lopez de Santa Ana.

At this time, I'd like

to conclude our tour.

You all have been one of the greatest

groups I have ever worked with.

Are there any questions?

Where's the basement?

Aren't we going to see the basement?

There's no basement at the Alamo.

Pee-wee, I'm on my way to Paris.

Andy and I had a fight after you left.

You were right, Pee-wee.

I'm making my wish come true.

I'm off to Paris!

What's wrong?

Bus 91, leaving for New York City,

now departing.

That's my bus.

Come on.

Guess what. The Alamo was built

without a basement.

I didn't know that.

Neither did I. They don't tell you

that stuff in school.

It's something you

just have to experience.

Don't worry, Pee-wee.

I know you'll find your bike.

Good luck. I just know

you're going to find your bike.

Hello, Dottie? It's me, Pee-wee.

Where are you calling from?

Texas.

Honest. Listen, I'll prove it.

"The stars at night

Are big and bright...

"Deep in the heart of Texas."

Wait. Don't hang up.

There's something...

...I have to talk to you about.

It's about the other night.

I owe everybody a big apology.

Especially you.

I didn't mean what I said, Dottie.

Honest.

I know you didn't.

There's somebody else

who's been worried about you.

I know.

I forgot.

All right, Speck!

All right, Speck! Put Dottie back on.

There's something I want to say.

I've learned something

out here on the road.

Humility.

Dottie, when I get back,

will you...

What, Pee-wee?

Will you still help me find my bike?

All right.

There's something else

I wanted to ask you about.

What is it?

Could you wire me a bus ticket?

I'll pay you back. Honest.

All right, Pee-wee.

When you get back,

we can settle up at the drive-in.

What?

I couldn't hear that last part.

The connection just got really bad.

Thanks a lot.

You missed it by five minutes.

Next up is the local favorite, Number 9,

Lloyd Fletcher, riding Volcano.

That's you.

And away he goes!

It looks like he's going for...

...a new San Antonio record!

He may be going for

a new world's record!

That was some fancy riding.

Let's hope Lloyd is okay.

What's your name?

I can't remember.

Where you from?

I can't remember.

Can't you remember anything?

I remember the Alamo.

I'm sorry, operator. I can't hear you.

I'm trying to use the phone!

Did anybody tell you that this is

the private club of the Satan's Helpers?

Nobody hipped me to that dude.

It's off-limits!

Well, my mistake!

Guess I'll be on my way, then.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

I barely touched them!

I say we kill him!

I say we hang him, then we kill him!

I say we stomp him!

Then we tattoo him!

Then we hang him!

And then we kill him!

I say we let him go.

I say you let me have him first!

Wait! Don't I get a last request?

Why not?

Break dance!

Tequila!

Thanks a lot, dudes.

I hope you find your bike.

Now!

The customized bicycle was presented

to child star, Kevin Morton...

...at Warner Brothers Studios

in Hollywood, California.

Congratulations, Kevin.

Thanks, Mr. Hawthorne.

A bike like this is every boy's dream.

Excuse me, sir.

Do you have a pass?

Oh, no, I' sorry you can't

enter without a pass.

So the fellow said, "What do you think

I have down here, a duck?"

A duck!

Where can I find Kevin Morton?

I don't know.

Do you know what stage

Kevin Morton is on?

It's stage six.

All right. I want to go once again.

Hair standing by.

What I want to do now,

is I want to do one more, faster paced.

All right, Kevin?

You know, I would love to...

...except how can I

when she's so late on her cues?

Just a minute!

Please, Marion.

I don't have to take that

from that little...

Kid! He's just a kid.

Even a kid can be courteous.

I'm going to quit.

I swear it, I am going to quit!

All right, Jerry. But I have had it!

Well, is everything straightened out?

We're ready when you are.

Doesn't it look like I'm ready?!

I am always ready!

I have been ready since first call!

I am ready!

Roll!

Quiet, please! This is a take!

Action!

Good-bye, Mother Superior.

Good-bye, Rusty. And God bless you.

Thank you Mother Superior,

I want the orphanage to have my bike.

No, Rusty.

You sold a lot of magazine subscriptions

to earn that bike.

But I want to give.

I've just received the two best parents

a boy could ever hope for.

Rusty, you are an inspiration to us all.

I'll say.

I'm going to start

a paper route right now.

Stop that nun!

Remember me? Let's go!

Merry Christmas!

Geronimo!

Radical!

You can help me. Come on!

Don't panic!

No pushing, no shoving.

Move in an orderly fashion

to the front exit.

Stay!

Listen up, everybody! Sit!

It's okay.

Go on! Run!

Fast! Come on! Let's go!

Son, are you all right?

Can you hear me?

There's still a few more fish inside.

This boy is a hero.

This boy is under arrest.

I can explain, Mr. Hawthorne.

Call me "Terry."

Warner Brothers thinks your story

would make a fantastic movie.

My story. A movie?!

My bike!

Do we have a deal?

Pee-wee, can I have your autograph?

Here's your chili dog.

Pee-wee! Over here. Look! Box seats!

This is Bob, Luke, Skinny and Milton.

Boys, this is Pee-wee!

Sno-cones.

I never met a movie star.

What did they pay you?

Nice to meet you.

Let's take a breather, Dottie.

The X-1 needs to cool down.

I'm a little overheated myself.

Come over here, P.W.

I must get to a phone.

Great so far, Pee-wee.

Action packed.

One soda.

One foot-Iong!

Good try, Pee-wee.

Have you got any message for Room 104?

The name is Herman.

P.W. Herman.

No, nothing right now, Mr. Herman.

I'll be in the bar.

That's fantastic!

Ditto.

I brought you guys French fries!

The big scene's coming up, guys!

Paging Mr. Herman.

Mr. Herman, you have a telephone call

at the front desk.

Yes, I understand.

That was the president.

I must steal back the X-1...

...before the Soviets find

the hidden microfilm inside.

The future of the free world

is riding on this.

-I'll go with you.

-No, it's too dangerous.

I invented the X-1.

I'm going with you!

All right, let's go.

You are such a pushover.

I know you are...

...but what am I?

Congratulations, Pee-wee!

Hi, P.W.

How's the X-1?

It's cooled down. But I'm heated up.

Where's my candy?

I forgot.

Pee-wee and I go way back.

When did you become blood brothers?

I don't remember the exact year.

And you say you taught Pee-wee

to ride his bike?

I remember the day I took off

his training wheels.

This is the bike.

How about a picture of me on it?

Phil Hartman

Philip Edward Hartmann (September 24, 1948 – May 28, 1998), better known as Phil Hartman, was a Canadian-American actor, voice actor, comedian, screenwriter and graphic artist. Born in Brantford, Ontario, Hartman and his family moved to the United States in 1958. After graduating from California State University, Northridge, with a degree in graphic arts, he designed album covers for bands like Steely Dan, Poco and America. Hartman joined the comedy group The Groundlings in 1975 and there helped comedian Paul Reubens develop his character Pee-wee Herman. Hartman co-wrote the screenplay for the film Pee-wee's Big Adventure and made recurring appearances as Captain Carl on Reubens' show Pee-wee's Playhouse. Hartman garnered fame in 1986 when he joined the sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live. He won fame for his impressions, particularly of President Bill Clinton, and he stayed on the show for eight seasons. Given the moniker "The Glue" for his ability to hold the show together and help other cast members, Hartman won a Primetime Emmy Award for his SNL work in 1989. In 1995, after scrapping plans for his own variety show, he starred as Bill McNeal in the NBC sitcom NewsRadio. He had voice roles on The Simpsons, from seasons 2–10 as Lionel Hutz, Troy McClure, and others, and appeared in the films Houseguest, Sgt. Bilko, Jingle All the Way, Small Soldiers and the English dub of Kiki's Delivery Service. Hartman had been divorced twice before he married Brynn Omdahl in 1987; the couple had two children together. However, their marriage was fractured, due in part to her drug use. On May 28, 1998, Brynn Hartman shot and killed Hartman while he slept in their Encino, Los Angeles home, then killed herself several hours later. In the weeks following his death, Hartman was celebrated in a wave of tributes. Dan Snierson of Entertainment Weekly opined that Hartman was "the last person you'd expect to read about in lurid headlines in your morning paper [...] a decidedly regular guy, beloved by everyone he worked with." Hartman was posthumously inducted into Canada's Walk of Fame in 2012 and the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2014. more…
