A scene from Pinocchio 1940
Jiminy

[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?

Pinocchio

Jiminy! Gee, I'm glad to see you! [sheds a tear]

Jiminy

Pinocchio! [runs to the birdcage] What's happened? [hops up onto the birdcage] What did he do to you?

Pinocchio

[explains to Jiminy about Stromboli]

Oh, he was mad! He said that he's gonna push my face into everybody's eyes!

Jiminy

Oh, yeah?!

Pinocchio

And.... And just because I'm a gold brick, he.... he's gonna chop me into firewood!

Jiminy

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]

Jiminy

[as he hangs onto one side of the birdcage via the broken spring] [chuckles nervously]

Must be one of the old models.

Pinocchio

You mean that you can't open it?

Jiminy

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.

Pinocchio

Gee.

Geppetto

[Meanwhile, Geppetto searches for Pinocchio out in the streets of the village]

Pinocchio! Pinocchio!

Stromboli

[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--

Jiminy

[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.

Pinocchio

[tearfully]

I should've listened to you, Jiminy.

Jiminy

No, it was my fault. I shouldn't have walked out on you.

Pinocchio

Guess I'll never see my father again.

Jiminy

Oh, buck up, son. It couldn't be worse. [starts crying] Be cheerful....LIKE ME!!

Pinocchio

[sobs as one of his tears lands onto Jiminy's hat until it splashes]

Jiminy

Oh. Take it easy, son. [gets out a tissue from his shirt, and holds it onto Pinocchio's nose] Come on. Blow.

Pinocchio

[blows his nose into the tissue]

Jiminy

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]

Pinocchio

[gets up]

What'll she say?! What'll I tell her?!

Jiminy

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.

Pinocchio

Oh. Hello.

Blue Fairy

And Sir Jiminy.

Jiminy

Well, uh, this is a pleasant surprise. Ha ha!

Blue Fairy

Pinocchio, why didn't you go to school?

Pinocchio

School? Well, I.... [looks up at Jiminy]

Jiminy

Go ahead. Tell her.

Pinocchio

I was going to school till I met somebody.

Blue Fairy

Met somebody?

Pinocchio

Yeah, uh.... two big monsters with big, green eyes! [his nose grows a little] Why, I.... I....

Blue Fairy

Monsters? Weren't you afraid?

Pinocchio

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?

Pinocchio

Huh? Oh, Jiminy. Um.... Uh....

Jiminy

[jumps in front of Pinocchio]

Psst! Leave me out of this.

Pinocchio

They put him in a little sack.

Jiminy

[his nose grows even more, taking Jiminy along with it]

No!

Pinocchio

Yeah!

Blue Fairy

[his nose sprouts flowers]

How did you escape?

Pinocchio

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.

Jiminy

"Perhaps"?!

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.

Jiminy

She's right, Pinoke. You better come clean.

Pinocchio

I'll never lie again! Honest, I won't!

Jiminy

[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.

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.

Pinocchio

[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!

Jiminy

Hey! We're free! Come on, Pinoke!

Stromboli

[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!

Jiminy

Toodle-oo, Stromboli!

Pinocchio

[yelling]

Goodbye, Mr. Strombo...

Jiminy

Shhhh!!!! [whispering] Quiet! Let's get out of here before something else happens. [They rush home to the village]
