My New Movie

by Pee-Wee Herman

 

In my cool new movie, Big Top Pee-Wee, I live on a country farm. My life is pretty simple, I have to admit ­ doing simple farmer chores like gathering fruit, vegetables and grain to make pancakes for my animals' breakfast. In my spare time I'm working on some top-secret botanical experiments in my greenhouse. They may even make the world of tomorrow a better place to live!

 

The town I live near is mostly elderly folks who don't seem to like me that much ­ they're kind of on the crabby side ­ possibly because I'm so energetic!

 

I'm engaged to the town school teacher, Winnie Johnson. I usually go into town around lunchtime and meet Winnie at recess for a picnic. M-M-M-M!!!

 

One day me and my pet pig, Vance, find a big storm is coming. We have to run all the way back to the farm to "batten down the hatches" and put all the animals into our storm shelter.

 

Guess what happens?!

 

When the storm is over and we go outside to see if the farm's okay, there's a circus spread out all over the place. People are running around everywhere trying to fix the overturned wagons and gather up the WILD animals!

 

I meet the manager, Mace Montana, and all the performers. It's called the Cabrini Circus. Their trapeze artist is named Gina Piccalapoopala and she's the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. Gulp!

 

Anyway ­ since everything in the circus is all smashed up, they decide to stay on my farm for awhile to put it back together ­ Cool or what?!

 

Well, if you've ever had a circus living with you before, then you know what it's like ­ if you don't, I'll tell you. Cooler than cool! Wild animals, showfolk, the side show, sawdust, glitter and excitement!

 

Speaking of excitement, and skipping lots of other stuff that happens, a definite boy-girl type of attraction develops between me and the star of the show ­ Gina. Did I mention her already? She's the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. She's really nice, too.

 

Well, if you've ever fallen in love before, then you know what it's like ­ if you don't, I'll tell you: FANTASTIC! Like fireworks and waves crashing on the beach! I didn't plan it out to be so complicated, but who does?! Winnie gets pretty angry ­ I didn't mean to hurt anybody, but if you've ever been in a torrid love triangle then you know what it's like ­ if you haven't, I hope you never are ­ yiccchhh!!!

 

Let me promise you that it all worked out great, even for Winnie ­ even for my pig, Vance.

 

Let me also promise you you'll enjoy my movie a whole bunch ­ definitely worth the price of admission.

 

Thanks, in advance, for taking the time!

 

Your pal,

 

Pee-Wee Herman
