Jambi: I'm really sorry about your wish, Pee-wee. I know how much you wanted to see Paris.
Pee-wee: I don't care if I'm not seeing Paris, Jambi. Why, we'll always have Paris. What I really care about is you. I want you to be my genie, whether you can grant me wishes or not. (edit)

Trivia

add »
Randy obtains the secret word from Conky while Pee-wee is out buying groceries. He makes everyone bark instead of scream when the word is said. (edit)
The secret word is "go," but, during the Connect-the-Dots game, when Randy is in the prison cell and says "I'll go crazy in here ...," nobody barks. Also, nobody barks when Dr. Jinga-Janga says "Go right ahead" after Pee-wee asks if he can speak with him. (edit)
The secret word is said and barked at 12 times in this episode. (edit)
The ocean liner in the Penny cartoon is called the S.S. Pee-wee. (edit)
The cartoon, To Spring (1936), was previously featured in "Puppy in the Playhouse." (edit)

Allusions

add »
Casablanca

Pee-wee's line, "We'll always have Paris," is a reference to the classic motion picture Casablanca (1942) in which Humphrey Bogart says that same line. (edit)
Wish Doctor

Bernard Fox, who plays Dr. Jinga-Janga, the "wish doctor," is both a spoof and an homage to his most famous television role, Dr. Bombay, the warlock physician ("witch doctor") that was a recurring character on the classic sitcom Bewitched. (edit)
