Pee-wee's Big Adventure Page #5

of the tour.

Please say hello to our residents,

Pedro and his wife, Inez.

Inez is holding a clay pot

that she seems very proud of.

She carefully detailed it

with paint and glaze.

And Pedro is working on an "adobe."

Can you say that with me? Adobe.

We are now in the kitchen

of the Alamo women.

Here they are preparing

culinary delights of the Southwest.

Do I hear someone's stomach growling?

The mainstay of the Alamo diet is corn.

Corn can be prepared many ways.

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.
