Gene Siskel: Self - Host

Quotes 

• Gene Siskel - Host : [on "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure"]  For me, Pee-Wee's juvenile humor, I guess, works better in seven minute skits on the Letterman show. That's the only conclusion I can draw from my negative response to this movie that... just didn't make it for me.

  Roger Ebert - Host : Well, I didn't see the movie. It came out while I was on vacation. When I came back, I didn't catch up with it. But oddly enough, Gene, on the basis of that clip... I'd like to see it. I thought it was kinda funny.

  Gene Siskel - Host : ...On the basis of THAT clip?

  Roger Ebert - Host : On the basis of that clip, I kinda like it.

  Gene Siskel - Host : Let me just tell ya something: On the basis of that- if you think THAT'S funny, you're gonna ROAR with this film, because...

  Roger Ebert - Host : He kinda reminded me of Harold Lloyd a little bit there.

  Gene Siskel - Host : [grabbing head in disbelief]  Oh my GOD, Roger, you're... Harold Lloyd? Don't throw big, good names around.

  Roger Ebert - Host : I'll tell you what: I'll see the movie, I'll get back to you.
