Butler: Francis is busy.
Pee-wee: Busy doing what?
Butler: He's having his bath.
Pee-wee: Oh, really?
Where are they hosing him down?

There are about a dozen lines of incredible bitchery between Francis and Pee Wee that've become classic insults - "I know you are but what am I?" is right up there with "Et tu, Brute" as far as I'm concerned in lines for the ages - but I always loved this scene especially because Pee Wee's always at his best when he's deranged, and the way he stomps into that pool fully-clothed and they do battle like Godzilla and the Crab Monster among the tiny ships is hysterical.

That movie scared the shit out of me as a kid :o
That is the second greatest scene ever filmed.
Man, this scene never fails to crack me up. From the knocking to the "Go ahead and scream your head off! We're MILES from where anyone can hear you!" it is comedy gold.
