So they don't deserve any reward!

Where are we going now?

On the air!

That was some story.

And with the reward you've offered...

...I'm sure our listeners

will be out looking.

My name's engraved

on the back of the seat.

That's Pee-wee Herman.

P-E-E...

That does it.

He just won't let up.

I changed my mind.

I don't want the bike anymore.

A deal's a deal.

So fork over my money

for lifting it for you, Buxton!

Here. Take the bike with you.

Just get rid of it!

That'll cost you extra.

See you later, sucker!

Good! We can finally

start the big meeting.

Dottie, Chuck.

Let's begin, shall we?

Shall we?!

This box contains over

217 bits and pieces of information.

Evidence.

Exhibit "A"!

A photograph of the victims.

My bike and me.

Exhibit "B"!

Another photograph!

What's missing from this picture?

It's just me. Without my bike!

Is this something you can share

with the rest of us?

Exhibit "C".

The horn I was picking up...

...at Chuck's...

...Bike-O-Rama...

...when my bike was actually stolen.

Exhibit "D"! Jimmy!

What is this?

Too late! Chip!

It looks like a pen.

Exactly! I bought this pen one hour

before my bike was stolen.

Why? What's the significance?

I don't know!

Exhibit "Q"!

A scale model of the entire mall!

"X" marks the scene of the crime.

These arrows mark the sun's position

at the hour of the crime!

Jupiter was aligned with Pluto!

The moon was in the Seventh...

Please save your questions

until I'm through!

Well, when will that be?

A long time, we wait.

We've been here over three hours.

I'm not sure if any of us can see

what this is supposed to mean!

Supposed to mean? Supposed to mean?!

I think everyone here knows

what this is supposed to mean.

When you've gone over something

again and again...

...and again and again...

...like I have...

...certain questions get answered.

Others spring up!

The mind plays tricks on you.

You play tricks back!

It's like you're unraveling

a cable-knit sweater...

...that someone keeps knitting...

...and knitting and knitting...

...and knitting and knitting

and knitting!

Let's go get some fresh air.

Because it's hot in here.

Hot?! Who's hot? Feels just fine

to me! I feel just perfect.

I can't remember when

I've felt so cozy down here.

I can get Chuck to give you a good break

on another bike in the shop.

I don't want another bike!

Pee-wee, listen,

if you want my help...

I don't want your help!

I don't need the police

and I don't need you!

I don't need anybody!

You're new to this turf.

We don't like strangers!

Cash only.

No cards, no checks.

You got cash?

Let me take your jacket.

You want to wear a wet jacket,

it's all right with Madam Ruby.

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…
