Stephen Parr: Fireman Frank

Quotes 

• 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.
