Geppetto [Geppetto has prepared dinner for himself, Figaro, and Cleo, as he paces around the dining room waiting for Pinocchio to come home from school]
What could have happened to him? Where could he be at this hour? [puts on his hat, coat, and scarf, and then takes a lantern] I'd better go out again, and look for him. [to Figaro and Cleo] And remember, nobody eats a bite, until I find him.
[Meanwhile, Stromboli is counting his money in his wagon while Pinocchio sits on a baguette] [singing]
...I buy a new suit and I swing-a that cane, I eat-a the bread and I drink-a champagne! I got-a no strings on-a me! [chuckles heartily] Bravo, Pinocchio!
[slides a stack of coins across the table with his machete]
Mmmmmm.... 200. You are sensational! [pokes an olive off his table]
[slides another stack]
Ah, 300! You are COLOSSAL! [chops some bread very close to Pinocchio]
Does that mean I'm an actor?
[bites an onion]
Sure! I will push you in the public's eye! Your face, she will-a be on-a everybody's tongue!
[sheds tears due to Stromboli's onion breath]
Will she?
Yeah.[notices a washer in his stacks of coins] What's this?! [He bites down on the washer and angrily curses in Italian until he realizes Pinocchio is listening; he calms down and gives the bent washer to him] For you, my little Pinocchio.
For me? Gee, thanks! I'll run right home and tell my father!
Home? [spits out the wine he was drinking] [coughs] Home? [laughs] Oh, sure! Going-a home-a to your father! [laughs] Oh, that is very comical!
[laughs]
Oh, sure! Yes. [Pinocchio joins him in laughing]
I'll be back in the morning!
Be back in the morning...?! [curses in Italian giberish for a moment] Going home! [he realizes Pinocchio is still listening and joins him in laughing until he throws him in a birdcage] There! This will be your home! [Snaps the padlock shut] Where I can find you always!
[shakes the birdcage bars]
No! No! No!
Yes! Yes! Yes! To me, you are-a belonging. We will tour-a the world! Paris! London! Monte Carlo! Constantinopolee!
[slams his hand on the table]
YES! We start TONIGHT! Mmm... [mutters greedily in Italian as he pours all of his money into a sack] You will make lots of-a money.... [slams the sack into his cummerbund] FOR ME! [picks up an axe] And when you are growing too old, you will make good.... [throws the axe] FIREWOOD! [the axe lands on a broken puppet; Stromboli starts laughing maniacally]
[shakes the birdcage bars]
Let me outta here! I gotta get out! You can't keep me--!
QUIET!!! SHUT UP!! Before I KNOCK-A you silly! Goodnight.... [blows a kiss to Pinocchio] ....my little wooden gold mine! [laughs evilly, then walks out and slams the wagon door, blowing out the lantern and making the room completely dark]
No! No! Wait! [shakes the birdcage bars] Let me out! [shakes his fist in anger] I'll tell my father!
[cracks his whip to his horses]
Giddyap! Get along there!
[the wagon starts moving]
Jiminy! Oh, Jiminy! [whistles] Oh, Jiminy, where are you? [whistles] Jiminy Cricket!
[there is a thunderclap, then Pinocchio starts sobbing]
[about Pinocchio]
Well, there he goes. Sitting in the lap of luxury with the world at his feet. Oh, well. I can always say that I knew him when I met him. I'll just get out of his life quietly. But I would like to wish him luck, though. Sure. Why not? [enters Stromboli's wagon, and then looks for Pinocchio] Pinocchio? Pinocchio? It's me. Your old friend, Jiminy. Remember?
Jiminy! Gee, I'm glad to see you! [sheds a tear]
Pinocchio! [runs to the birdcage] What's happened? [hops up onto the birdcage] What did he do to you?
[explains to Jiminy about Stromboli]
Oh, he was mad! He said that he's gonna push my face into everybody's eyes!
And.... And just because I'm a gold brick, he.... he's gonna chop me into firewood!
Oh, is that so? [Pinocchio nods] Now, don't you worry, son. I'll have you out of here in no time at all. [climbs into the padlock through the keyhole] Why, this is...this is just as easy as rolling off a.... Whoa! [falls into the padlock] [Pinocchio listens, as Jiminy tries to open the padlock up] [comes out of the padlock, takes his coat and hat off, hangs them both on a screw of the padlock, and then to Pinocchio] Kinda rusty. [Pinocchio watches, as Jiminy continues trying to open the padlock up] Needs a little oil! [Jiminy's shouting echoes throughout the insides of the padlock] [to the audience] That's what I said. [continues trying to open the padlock up with his umbrella]
[Pinocchio takes a closer look, as Jiminy pries at the padlock up with his umbrella, loosening the spring in the process; suddenly, the spring breaks off of the padlock, sending Jiminy flying out of the padlock] WHOOOAA!! [Pinocchio watches, as the spring continues flying from the padlock, and then lands straight right into one side of the birdcage]
[as he hangs onto one side of the birdcage via the broken spring] [chuckles nervously]
Must be one of the old models.
You mean that you can't open it?
Yeah. Looks pretty hopeless. [Pinocchio gives him his coat and hat, and then watches him put his coat and hat back on him] It'll take a miracle to get us out of here.
Geppetto [Meanwhile, Geppetto searches for Pinocchio out in the streets of the village]
Pinocchio! Pinocchio!
[Geppetto gets interrupted by Stromboli's wagon approaching] [to his horse]
Giddyap! [speaks in Italian giberish]
Geppetto [Geppetto continues searching for Pinocchio through the streets of the village]
Pinocch--
[thunderclap] [Geppetto gets interrupted again, this time by a loud thunderclap; he doesn't realize that Pinocchio is inside Stromboli's wagon, and then continues searching for Pinocchio out in the streets of the village, as he goes the opposite direction of Stromboli's wagon]
A fine conscience I turned out to be.
[tearfully]
I should've listened to you, Jiminy.
No, it was my fault. I shouldn't have walked out on you.
Guess I'll never see my father again.
Oh, buck up, son. It couldn't be worse. [starts crying] Be cheerful....LIKE ME!!
[sobs as one of his tears lands onto Jiminy's hat until it splashes]
Oh. Take it easy, son. [gets out a tissue from his shirt, and holds it onto Pinocchio's nose] Come on. Blow.
[blows his nose into the tissue]
Attaboy. [blows his nose into the same tissue] Oh, well. [Jiminy looks at the sky while a tear drop down on his cheek] It stopped raining, anyway. [outside Stromboli's wagon window, the clouds cleared up, and revealed the starry night sky, as the wishing star approaches Stromboli's wagon, and then enters Stromboli's wagon] Hey. It's that star again. The lady, the.... the.... Whoa! The fairy! [Pinocchio falls off of the birdcage's perch, as he hops onto another side of the birdcage]
[gets up]
What'll she say?! What'll I tell her?!
Um.... Uh.... You might tell her the truth! [hides inside the birdcage's birdfeeder, as Pinocchio hides his head right between his legs like an ostrich]
Blue Fairy [the Blue Fairy appears, and then looks around Stromboli's wagon, as Pinocchio watches in amazement]
Why, Pinocchio.
Blue Fairy And Sir Jiminy.
Well, uh, this is a pleasant surprise. Ha ha!
Blue Fairy Pinocchio, why didn't you go to school?
School? Well, I.... [looks up at Jiminy]
I was going to school till I met somebody.
Blue Fairy Met somebody?
Yeah, uh.... two big monsters with big, green eyes! [his nose grows a little] Why, I.... I....
Blue Fairy Monsters? Weren't you afraid?
No, ma'am, but they tied me in a big sack.
Blue Fairy [his nose grows a little more and sprouts leaves]
You don't say. [Pinocchio nods] And where was Sir Jiminy?
Huh? Oh, Jiminy. Um.... Uh....
[jumps in front of Pinocchio]
Psst! Leave me out of this.
They put him in a little sack.
[his nose grows even more, taking Jiminy along with it]
No!
Blue Fairy [his nose sprouts flowers]
How did you escape?
I didn't. They chopped me into firewood! [his nose grows again, and a nest with baby birds sprouts at the end of it] Oh, look! My nose! What's happened?
Blue Fairy Perhaps you haven't been telling the truth, Pinocchio.
Oh, but I have. Every single word! [the branch with the nest on his nose withers, and the birds fly away, whistling] Oh, please help me! I'm awful sorry!
Blue Fairy You see, Pinocchio, a lie keeps growing and growing until it's as plain as a nose on your face.
She's right, Pinoke. You better come clean.
I'll never lie again! Honest, I won't!
[to the Blue Fairy]
Please, your honor.... uh.... I mean, Miss Fairy, give him another chance, for mother's sake. Will you? Huh?
Blue Fairy I'll forgive you this once. But remember that a boy, who won't be good, might just as well be made of wood.
PA Pinocchio and Jiminy
[in unison]
We'll be good, won't we?
Blue Fairy Very well. But this is the last time that I can help you.
[She touches the birdcage with her magic wand, and then disappears; Pinocchio's nose turns back to normal, and the birdcage door opens, as the padlock magically unlocks while on the birdcage door]
Gee, look, Jiminy! My nose!
Hey! We're free! Come on, Pinoke!
[They sneak out from the back of the wagon while Stromboli is singing] [singing]
I buy a new suit and I swing-a that cane, I eat-a the bread and I drink-a champagne! I got-a no strings on-a me!
[yelling]
Goodbye, Mr. Strombo...
Shhhh!!!! [whispering] Quiet! Let's get out of here before something else happens. [They rush home to the village]
Geppetto Is that the last of them. Here's a big one. Only a few left. Gotta work fast. Here's another one!
Hey. Hey, Father! Father!
Geppetto Don't bother me now, Pinocchio! I'm bus---- [surprised] Pinocchio?
Geppetto [joyfully hugging one of the fish to think it's Pinocchio]
Pinocchio, my son!
Geppetto Oh, yes. [drops the fish in the water, and Pinocchio leaps to his father for a big hug] Pinocchio, my boy. I'm so happy to see you.
Me, too, Father. [Figaro climbs on Geppetto's head, causing his glasses to fall off] Figaro. Aw, Figaro. Cleo. Oh, Cleo. You're here, too. [rubs Cleo's belly with his finger]
Geppetto Yes. We're all together again.
Geppetto Oh, You are soaking wet.
Geppetto You mustn't catch cold.
Geppetto You know that you shouldn't have come down here, but I'm awfully glad to see you. Let me take your hat off. [gasps in major shock as he notices Pinocchio has donkey ears] Pinocchio!
Geppetto [makes donkey's ears from his fingers]
Those ears!
Huh, ears? Oh, these. Oh, that's nothing. [twirls his donkey tail] I got a tail, too! [laughs, then accidentally brays like a donkey and covers his mouth in shock which causes Figaro to jump backwards into Cleo's bowl]
Geppetto Pinocchio! What's happened to you?
Geppetto Oh, never mind that. [hugs Pinocchio] Old Geppetto has his little wooden head. [they touch noses] Nothing else matters.
Geppetto Is that the last of them?! Here's a big one! Only a few left! Gotta work fast! Here's another one!
Hey! Hey, Father! Father!
Geppetto Don't bother me now, Pinocchio! [surprised] Pinocchio?
Geppetto [joyfully hugging one of the fish to think it's Pinocchio]
Pinocchio, my son!
Geppetto Oh. [drops the fish in the water, and Pinocchio leaps to his father for a big hug] Pinocchio, my boy! I'm so happy to see you.
Me, too, Father. [Figaro climbs on Geppetto's head, causing his glasses to fall off] Figaro. Aw, Figaro. Cleo. Oh, Cleo. You're here, too. [rubs Cleo's belly with his finger]
Geppetto Yes. We're all together again. [Pinocchio sneezes] Oh, You are soaking wet.
Geppetto You mustn't catch cold.
Geppetto [grabs the blanket and wraps around Pinocchio]
You know that you shouldn't have come down here, but I'm awfully glad to see you. Let me take your hat off. [removes Pinocchio's hat, then gasps in major shock as he notices Pinocchio has donkey ears] Pinocchio!
Geppetto [makes donkey's ears from his fingers]
Those ears!
Huh, ears? Oh, these. Oh, that's nothing. [twirls his donkey tail] I got a tail, too! [laughs, then accidentally brays like a donkey and covers his mouth in shock which causes Figaro to jump backwards into Cleo's bowl]
Geppetto Pinocchio! What's happened to you?
Geppetto Oh, never mind that. [hugs Pinocchio] Old Geppetto has his little wooden head. [they touch noses] Nothing else matters.
I gotta get in! My pal's in there. Come on, ya big moose! Open up, I tell ya! Hey! Cut it out. Hey, beat it, you buzzards!
Geppetto Get out? Oh, no, no, son. I have tried every way. Why, I even built a raft.
A raft? That's it! We'll take the raft and when the whale opens his mouth...
Geppetto No, no, no, no. Now, listen, son. He only opens his mouth when he's eating. Then everything comes in, nothing goes out.
Geppetto It's hopeless, Pinocchio. Come, we make a nice fire and we cook some of the fish.
Geppetto Yes! And then we'll all eat again.
A great big fire! Lots of smoke.
Geppetto Smoke? Oh, yes, sure. Smoked fish will taste good.
Geppetto Pinocchio, not the chair.
Hurry, Father, more wood!
Geppetto What'll we sit on?
We won't need it. We're getting out!
Geppetto Getting out? But how?
Geppetto Make him sneeze? That will make him mad!
