DRUNK CINEMA 014: "Pee-wee's Big Adventure" Is Up!

 
"There's a lotta things about me you don't know anything about, Dottie. Things you wouldn't understand. Things you couldn't understand. Things you shouldn't understand."

"I don't understand."

"You don't wanna get mixed up with a guy like me. I'm a loner, Dottie. A rebel."
-- Pee-wee Herman and Dottie, Pee-wee's Big Adventure
