[edit] Who's Here Today?

Pee-wee screams as he appears on the screen. He greets everyone to the show, then decides to see who's here today. He points to the camera and says, "I see you... and you... and you..." He then focuses on one "person" and says "Hmm, nice pajamas. Who shot the couch?" Then he says, "Oh, I see you. I see you! I thought that was you. Who's that with you? Oh, it's you!"

Pterri then asks Pee-wee asks what the secret word is today. Pee-wee says he doesn't know and he asks the viewers if they know. When no response comes to him, he decides to ask Conky. He unplugs Conky from the wall and the robot tells him he's ready to assist him. Pee-wee asks him what is 10,600,000 divided by 211,000. Conky replies that it's 50.236966. "Great! Just checkin'," Pee-wee says. He then asks Conky what's today's secret word. A piece of cardstock pops out of Conky's midsection, with the secret word on it. Pee-wee shows it to the audience. It reads WELL. He reminds the viewers of what to do whenever they hear the secret word, then tries it out on Pterri: "Hey, Pterri, how are you feeling today?" "Thank you for asking," Pterri replies. "I'm feeling very fine." Pee-wee then says, "Wrong, Pterri. You were supposed to say you're feeling very well!" Everyone screams. "I guess I made a mistake," Pterri says. "Oh, well." Everyone screams again.
