What the deal with the lady in the magic shop in the beginning? She looks very uncomfortable. Anyone know the significance of her

My guess is that she was some shopper who probably never saw some guy exhibiting the type of behavior Pee-Wee does. She seemed a little weirded out by his behavior.

All I need is one mic...

Maybe she is just a snob and unfriendly?

Pee-Wee looked at her with X-Ray glasses, presumably seeing through her clothes. And then he made a winking gesture. He probably made her uneasy.

Oh yeah i forgot that part, she probably thought he was a pervert. 

Yeah, a grown woman shopping in a Magic Shop looking at Pee-Wee like he was unusual. lol

That's what I was about to say, but nothing like a double standard lol BUT it could have been b/c he was acting and behaving so outlandishly and maybe she was a professional Magician or something, looking for things to add to her act.

She actually looks very prudish, like she doesn't belong there.

obviously she thought he was a weirdo. a grown man, acting like a little kid, in a toy shop, wouldn't you be weirded out too?

[–] blondcutie1972 7 years ago

Yes you are right, I would be weirded out by him lol!
