Quotes 

• 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.

• 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, how about something to eat, Pee-wee? I made some soup especially for you.

  [Pee-wee mutters softly] 

  Ricardo : What?

  Pee-wee : I said Yes! Yes! I'll have some soup! Okay?

  Ricardo : [leaving the room]  ¿Para que me mortifico? ¿Vengo a verlo, le traigo sopa, y para que?

• 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.

• 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]
