There’s a psychic in the movie that tells Peewee that the bicycle he lost is in the basement of the Alamo – the joke being that this is one of many instances where Peewee’s naivety gets the better of him, sending him off in another odd direction. The plot continually plays off his innocence.
Nowadays, visitors to the Alamo reference the question on tours as a running joke.
It doesn’t have a basement?
There are no bicycles down there Pee-wee!
my favorite is Ozzy being banned for 10 years from playing in San Antonio for pissing on the statue in the plaza of the Alamo
This one is going over my head. What about a basement? Where joke?
