Pee-wee : Stories never make me sleepy.
Miss Yvonne : Once upon a time...
[Pee-wee immediately falls asleep]

Ricardo : [checks Pee-wee's temperature] Hmm, your temperature's just a little bit above normal. That means you have a little fever, but nothing serious. Still, you should take it easy today so you don't really get sick.
Pee-wee : Okay, Ricardo. I sure don't want to be sick. I'll take it easy all day.
Ricardo : Good. And be sure to drink lots of liquids like fruit juice. That's always good if you're coming down with something.

Miss Yvonne : You know, sometimes when we're sick, we're not as neat as we'd like to be. One time when I had the flu, I let my dirty dishes pile up clear to the ceiling.
Pee-wee : [in the bathroom] What did you do?
Miss Yvonne : I bought new dishes.
Pee-wee : I love that story!
-
Miss Yvonne : How's Pee-wee feeling, Magic Screen?
Magic Screen : He's not feeling very well, Miss Yvonne, but we're all helping him out.
[everyone screams]
Pee-wee : Stop all that screaming! Can't you people have a little consideration?
-
Ricardo : I brought some huge rubber bands for your rubber band ball, Pee-wee. Shall I put them on for you?
Pee-wee : Sure, go ahead. I can't do anything anyways. I'm sick. You know, sometimes when you're sick, you don't feel like putting rubber bands on your rubber band ball. YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE DOING ANYTHING AT ALL!
[Ricardo gets stunned]
Pee-wee : [softly] I'm awfully sorry, Ricardo. You see, sometimes when we're sick, we snap at people when we don't mean to. Our emotions are awfully close to the surface. You understand, don't you?
Ricardo : Oh, sure I do, Pee-wee.

Pterri : Hello,Pee-wee. What are you eating? Got anymore?
Pee-wee : Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm!
Ricardo : Pee-wee can't talk right now, Pterri. I'm taking his temperature.
Pterri : Oh. Well, while you're doing that, can I please have some of what he's eating?
Ricardo : He's not eating anything. That's a thermometer.
Pterri : Oh. Well, it looks delicious!
-
Ricardo : Hey, what's the matter, Pee-wee?
Pee-wee : I don't know, Ricardo. I feel kind of funny. I woke up this morning with a scratchy throat. I've been trying to ignore it.
Ricardo : Hey, maybe your body is trying to tell you something, Pee-wee.
[feels Pee-wee's forhead]
Ricardo : Hmm, you feel a little warm to me. Maybe we ought to take your temperature and see if you have a fever.
Pee-wee , Conky : Here's the thermometer, Ricardo.
Ricardo : Gracias, Conky.

Randy : Achoo. Achoo.
Pee-wee : Randy, cover your mouth. You're spreading germs.
Randy : No, I'm not.
Pee-wee : Yes, you are.
[Randy coughs]
Pee-wee : Randy, please! I don't want to catch another cold. Please cover your mouth.
Randy : I'm sorry, Pee-wee. Hey, I got a secret.
[Pee-wee leans in, and Randy coughs into Pee-wee's ear]
Pee-wee : RANDY! AH! GERMS! AH! HELP! GERMS!
Randy : [laughs] I'm not really sick. I faked you out.
[everyone screams]

Ricardo : Está lista la sopa. Soup's on.
Pee-wee : Mmm, boy, am I hungry.
Ricardo : Bueno, that's a very good sign, Pee-wee.
Pee-wee : It is?
Miss Yvonne : Yes, it means you're getting better.
Pee-wee : Hmm, gee, just when I was beginning to have fun.
Ricardo : Cuidado, la sopa está caliente. The soup is very hot, so watch out.
[everyone screams]
