Quotes
-
Randy : Hey, Pterri, is that bread ready yet?
Pterri : No, and I'm so hungry, my beak is watering!
Randy : Well, you know that bread will cook faster if the oven was hotter.
Pterri : It would? It doesn't say that in the recipe.
Randy : Aw, what do they know anyway? Hey, I got an idea! I'll just the oven up to 700 degrees...
[turns the oven up to 700 degrees]
Randy : ... and the bread will be ready in half the time.
Pterri : Randy, Pee-wee says we're not supposed to touch the oven!
Randy : Now you tell me. Too late!

Fireman Frank : [to the other firefighters] Okay, that's it, fellas. See you back in the station.
[to the cast]
Fireman Frank : Hello, I am Fireman Frank.
Miss Yvonne : Hi.
Fireman Frank : Are all you folks alright?
Everybody : Yes.
Fireman Frank : Fortunately, there wasn't a fire, just a lot of smoke. But smoke can be just as dangerous. And here's what must have started it.
[shows off the homemade bread, blackened and burnt]
Miss Yvonne : Oh, no, my bread!
Fireman Frank : Too bad. I love homemade bread.
Miss Yvonne : I'll put the recipe on a card, with my phone number.
Pee-wee Herman : I don't get it, Fireman Frank. What could've made the bread burn like that?
Fireman Frank : Pee-wee, just about anything will burn at 700 degrees.
Miss Yvonne : Seven hundred? But I set the temperature myself at 350! Didn't I, Pee-wee?
Pee-wee Herman : Yeah.
Fireman Frank : Somebody must have turned it up.
Randy : [appearing beside them] So, is that bread ready yet?
Pee-wee Herman : No, Randy, the bread is burned because SOMEBODY turned the temperature WAY UP on the oven! Got any ideas on who might've done something STUPID like that?
Randy : [sheepishly] Uh... me?
[everyone stares at Randy]
Pee-wee Herman : Randy, you know you're not supposed to touch the oven.
Randy : I do now. Gee, I'm sorry about the bread, Pee-wee. I'll go down to the bakery and get you another one.
[everyone screams]
Pee-wee Herman : Randy, I don't care about the bread, I care about the safety of everybody in the Playhouse.
Fireman Frank : Well, then you should make sure that the Playhouse is fire safe.
Pee-wee Herman : Well, how do we do that, Fireman Frank?
Fireman Frank : Conduct fire drills to make sure everyone knows where and how to exit the house quickly in the event of a fire. And you should have smoke detectors placed throughout your home to warn you of the presence of smoke or fire.
Miss Yvonne : I have a smoke detector in my bedroom, over my bed.
Fireman Frank : Remember to make sure they are kept in good working order by checking them once a month.
[Pee-wee is seen testing a smoke detector]
Fireman Frank : Replace dangerous frayed electrical cords, and don't overload your sockets. Get rid of rubbish, and make sure all flammable liquids are stored in a safe place away from the heat. And remember, never, never play with matches.
[strikes a match]
Pee-wee Herman : Fireman Frank, is there anything else we can do to make sure we'Re fire safe?
Fireman Frank : Sure, a list of these and other safety tips are available from your local fire department.
