Page 2 of 4
(To the boys at Terra Magica)

Come here! Over here! No, this is all wrong! You gotta believe me! Look, they're trying to trick you! They want us to behave badly. Don't go on the ride, please! We've been acting like jackasses, so that's what we turn into!

(Whilst chasing the puppet throughout the town)

Ooh, ooh - Come down right now! What are you doing?! Come down this instant young - man! Come down here! I'm not going to go chasing after you!

Have you found any luck?

Leona

I asked Carmela if she'd seen Pinocchio.

And?

Leona

She said no. But then I went to see Tino.

And?

Leona

He said no. But then I went to Maria the witch, the one who hasn't spoken in years.

What did she say?

Leona

Nothing. But, she gave me this.

A stick? What's it mean?

Leona

Think about it. Pinocchio probably feels like he can't come home, and that he'd be in trouble if he does.

Yes, but...?

Leona

Where would you go if you felt like that?

I don't know. Somewhere safe.

Leona

And where would that be, given the fact you were made of wood?

The forest! Thank you, Maria!

Leona

Well, what are you waiting for? Let's go!

(at the church)

Hey, I know you - you're friends of -

No, no, we've finished with him now. We're just here to ask for forgiveness.

What's forgiveness?

Forgiveness is when you have done something really really wrong, and you know what you did was wrong, but you want someone else to tell you it was wrong, but you know what you did was wrong because you did it!

Monk

Sssh!

Please forgive me for being a puppet, and not a real boy.

(tearing up)

I miss my daddy, too!

(shushes Volpe and slaps him)

You know, it may be possible for you to become a real boy.

How?

All you need is a miracle!

What's a miracle?

(buts in)

A miracle is - (Felinet puts her hand over his mouth)

Miracles make your dreams come true.

(At Terra Magica)

Rather cruel of you to shoot my cousins into outer space.

All I'm doing is having a little fun.

Yeah, fun, good idea! Fun gets my antenna waaaay up! But what about your Papa, you said you bought him up?:

I didn't bring him up.

Precisely my point! You know what comes from actin' like a jackass? And if you act like one, you'll become one!

(Pinocchio runs into Volpe and Felinet)

Helloooo...

Hellooo....

Ooh, what a charming little item you are. (Holds out hand) May I? (Raps Pinocchio's head, makes a hollow thud) Ooh... empty as a witch's dowry. Ooh, look how smoothly his arms move. (Geppetto comes up)

Now Pinocchio, don't do that again. (To the thieves) Er, excuse me, but don't you two have a pushcart or something to rob?

Uh, we've already done that. (Felinet glares at him)

Come on Pinocchio. I don't want you doing that again.

Oh but Geppetto darling, we were just playing with him.

He'll play with his own sort, thank you.

(suspiciously)

And what sort would that be?

Come on son. Don't ever do that again.

(confused)

I don't get it...is he a boy, or a puppet?

He's a puppet, fur-face. He's going to be worth a fortune...and I know exactly where to cash him in! (Both giggle)

Father

Don't worry, son! I'll get your ball back! (Felinet glances at Pinocchio's ball, realizes who it belongs to, and runs off, tossing the ball at Volpe) (Boy and his father round the corner, boy points at Volpe, who is foolishly holding the ball)

Father

Take my kid's ball, would you?? (Punches Volpe viciously)

The Professor
(Upon Pinocchio causing a disruption in class, the Professor turns round)

What is going on in my classroom?

Infantino

The new kid punched Lampwick, professor.

The Professor
(he walks slowly and menacingly up to Pinocchio)

Is that true?

No.

Boy
(his nose grows)

Hey, how'd you do that?

The Professor

Silence! (looks at Pinocchio) Now you're not lying to me by any slim chance, are you?

Uh... uh... no. (His nose grows longer)

The Professor

There are two kinds of lies. (he is now walking through the room) Lies that have a short legs, and lies that have a long nose. And yours are clearly the kind that have a long nose. Now, I will give you one last chance to redeem yourself: If you didn't punch Lampwick, how did he end up on the floor?

(struggling)

Uh... Nobody punched Lampwick... Lampwick punched... himself. (his nose is now extremely long) Uh, I mean, a man - climbed - in - through the window and punched him, and Lampwick tried to kick him back, but-- but he missed (his nose is now the length of the classroom) and fell on the floor and-- !

The Professor
(inevitably, the class laugh hysterically)

Silence! (fails to keep order) SILENCE! (Pinocchio turns his head around and the class on the other side duck their heads, he then turns the other way and Lampwick quickly distracts the prefect, so that he is hit in the head by the nose. Lampwick and Saleo then laugh.HIs nose hits the cleaning cloth filled with chalkdust and slowly rises to meet the professor's face)

The Professor
(he suddenly notices Pinocchio's nose right in front of his. Pinocchio is about to sneeze)

Infantino! Go... go on... (gestures at the prefect) A handkerchief... go on! Quickly!
(as the class urge Pinocchio to sneeze, the prefect runs up with a handkerchief and Pinocchio disastrously sneezes all over the Professor's face, sneezing sawdust on him)

(He decides to tell the truth)

I... I did punched Lampwick, Professore, and I'm sorry. (his nose shrinks)

The Professor

Well, it's too late for that now. If there is one thing I will not tolerate in my classroom, it's a liar. Out.

(he walks miserably up from his desk but can't because of his nose, so he decides to tell the truth)

Uh... uh... and... I am sorry that I kicked him too. (his nose shrinks)

The Professor

Out!

And, I'm even more sorry that I'd told a lie.

The Professor

"Out, out" I said!

(his nose now back to normal)

But I want to stay and learn.

The Professor
(he finally leaves the room)

Now class, we will review what we have learned today.

What news?

Leone

Well I went to the baker's but they said nothing, so I went to town but nobody said anything, so then I went to Maria, the witch, the one who hasn't spoken in years.

What did she say?

Leone

Nothing. But, she gave me this.

It's a twig.

Leone

Think about it. Pinocchio probably feels like he can't come home, that he's lost, and you'd be angry at him if he did.

Well, yes.

Leone

And so where would you go if you felt like that?

I don't know. Somewhere quiet, safe.

Leone

And where would that be, given the fact you were made of wood!?!

The forest! Thank you Maria!

Leone

Well, what are you waiting for, let's go!

(He is fixing Pinocchio)

There, that didn't hurt, did it?

Nah. Didn't hurt.

(Lorenzini knocks hard on the door)

Now what can he want?

Open up!

No good can come of this.

Geppetto, open up!

(grabs Pinocchio)

Stay there and be quiet! (Pinocchio looks round and sees other puppets sitting there; gasps) Don't even breathe! (To Lorenzini) Signore Lorenzini, what can you want?

The honor is mine to call again, my good man.

You see Lorenzini, I have been spending a lot of time in the forest lately, perhaps I can carve you something grand... at the first chance I've got.

I have heard rumors. I bring good news, Geppetto. I am making my grandest production ever, and I am going to purchase... Your newest creation. Whatever it may be. Heh.

Gepetto
(holds up two puppets)

These puppets are made, from the finest cherry wood. You can have these.

(snarls)

Don't toy with me, Geppetto. I would not buy those puppets from you two years ago, and I will not buy them today. So show me your best, and show me NOW!

(Pinocchio falls off his perch)

Oooh! (Runs at Lorenzini and ducks under his legs) Excuse me, coming through!

He is perfect... (Catches a fly) Stay! (Opens his glove, revealing the fly standing on his palm) Boys do like bugs.

Bugs?

They like to tease them, and twist them...and...

Gepetto

Please, Lorenzini!

Ssssssh.

(Imitating)

Sssshh...

He is magnificent. Name your price.

Judge
(Hammers three times)

Court is now in session.

Guard

Case number 491, your honor. The people versus Luca Antonio Renaldo Geppetto Baldini.

My papa! (hugs Geppetto)

It will be alright, Pinocchio.

Baker's wife
(enraged)

There he is, your honor! That little mutilator! He ruined my cannolis! He ruined my fruit tarts!

Judge

Silence, woman!

Baker's wife

He even ruined my grandmother's torta della nonna with the pinoli and the chocolate...

Judge

Are you done?

Baker's wife

No, I am not done! I would... (the judge hammers loudly)

Judge

Arrest her!

Baker's wife
(the guards attempt to grab her and her husband)

Now, I'm done. I'm done. (the bakers sit back down)

Judge

Now, since you, Geppetto, are responsible for this, uh, puppet, how do you plead?

Guilty, sir. (the crowd gasps)

Judge

You will pay twenty-thousand lira to the bakers and ten-thousand to the court.

I--I don't have it. That's--that's three years wages.

Judge

If you cannot pay, then you will go to debtors prison! (hammers hardly) Three years locked away!

Your honor! I propose the court allow me to pay the fines for this poor, impoverished peasant.

Judge

This is most generous of you, Signore Lorenzini.

Kindness is my weakness. Of course, no good deed should go without obligation, so all l ask is to keep Pinocchio in return.

Lorenzini, please, take any other puppet! l will work for you day and night the rest of my life!

Geppetto, is it just money for you? Pinocchio needs a home. All you can offer him is table scraps and cold winter nights, but with me, he will have a family.

What's a family, Papa?

My goodness, such a heartbreaking question, one no one should ever have to ask. Pinocchio, l can give you a life other little boys only dream of.

Judge

What is your decision, Geppetto? (Geppetto looks around the court room. Without any thought or feeling, he looks down at Pinocchio)

Pinocchio...

Yes, Papa?

Listen to me. You're going to go with that man now.

But I want to be with you.

I know, but you see--you see, there--there's no other choice.

You're my papa.

I can't be your papa! You're made of wood! You're not flesh! You're not a real boy! (snaps) NOW, GO! FOR EVERYONE'S GOOD!! (Pinocchio begins to tear up after hearing the harsh words from Geppetto)

Let's go, son. (Pinocchio walks down the steps and Lorenzini picks him up) Good boy. (Lorenzini carries Pinocchio out of the court room as everyone watches sadly)

I love you, Papa! (the scene cuts to Geppetto walking home)

Leona
(peeking from her window)

Geppetto... I'm sorry.

Why does everything good get thrown to the beasts? (Geppetto continues walking home as Leona sadly watches him)

Lampwick
(notices that the boy took the gun)

That's my gun!

Boy

No, it's mine, lampshade!

Lampwick

Nobody calls me lampshade!
