Pee-wee: "Where's the basement?"
Jan Hooks: "Excuse me?"
Pee-wee: "Aren't we going to see the basement?"
Hooks: "Tee hee! There's no basement at Doc Watson's! Hee hee hee!"
The following is from a Miami Herald story written last year:
Younger people may be more familiar with "Pee Wee's Big Adventure," in which the goofy man-child in the too-small suit embarks on a cross-country odyssey to the Alamo to retrieve his lost bicycle from its basement. Once here, he gets the bad news: "There's no basement in the Alamo!"
David Stewart, the Alamo's director, says he hears the Pee Wee question all the time, and that by now he can tell when someone is about to bring it up again.
"They get this little smile on their face and say 'You know what I'm going to ask,'" he said. "And I always say, 'No, we don't have a basement.'"
