Geppetto Pinocchio, I have been thinking. Maybe it is time for you to go to school.
Really, Father? Really?

Stromboli
[shouting in Italian, then in English]
What this nonsense?! Nobody in my show performs for free! Now pack! We leave in an hour! And you… Ooh, ooh, ooh. My little Pinocchio. I was scared to death you got lost or stolen. And we wouldn't want that now, would we? In an hour we go! [The scene cuts to him throwing Pinocchio and shuts him in a bird cage]
Let me go! Let me out of here! Help!
Stromboli
[locks up the cage with a key]
There, this will be your home, where I can find you always.
Oh, no. No, no!
Stromboli
Yes, yes. To me you are belong.
Let me go! Let me out of here! Help! Father!
Stromboli
Father? No parent wants a bizzaria like you.
No, no!
Stromboli
Parents want a real kid.
Jiminy. Father. Help! Help! Oh, no. Help! [whimpering] Please.
Stromboli
[puts the key on a hook next to the door; speaking in Italian; in English]
My little wooden gold mine. [laughs maliciously and closes the door behind him, locking it]
Geppetto [Pinocchio sits on his knees, sobbing helplessly]
Pinocchio! Pinocchio!
Father, I'm sorry I didn't come home after I got kicked out of school.
Geppetto You got kicked out of school?
Yes, for being a puppet. So I joined the puppet show and became famous.
Geppetto You became famous?
Well, almost famous. I danced in a puppet show and made lots of money. But then I got kidnapped and was locked in a bird cage, so I had to tell a bunch of fibs to Jiminy so my nose would grow so I could escape. But then I got scooped up by a coach full of foolish kids, and was taken to Pleasure Island, where I learned to drink… Uh, I forget what they called it. But anyway, Pleasure Island was bad because I grew donkey ears and a tail, and was chased by the vapor creatures who wanted to sell me to the salt mines, but Jiminy helped me and we jumped off a cliff into the sea and swam to shore, where we found out you sold all your clocks to buy a boat so you could look for me. And now we're here!
Geppetto You did all that in one day?
Yes.
Geppetto My goodness. I haven't done a fraction of that in my whole life.
I'm sorry, Father. I apologize for all the trouble I caused. (But yeah.)
Geppetto Oh, no, Pinocchio, my boy. All is forgiven. I'm just so happy to see you safe and sound. Now we can go home again and we'll be all together! We'll be one big happy…
[Just as Geppetto is about to say "family", Monstro, a massive chimeric sea monster with sharp teeth, emerges from the ocean and swallows them] [fleeing away]
Monstro! It's Monstro! IT'S MONSTRO!
[floats all the way down to Monstro's mouth as he goes to sleep]
Well, I'll be. He's asleep. Wake up! My friend's in there! Open up, you big blubber mouth!
Geppetto Pinocchio, I'm so happy to see you. Oh. So happy to see my boy.
Figaro, you're here, too. And Cleo.
Geppetto Yes, yes, we're all together again. Isn't it wonderful? Although, yeah, it is a bit strange to be inside the belly of a whale. But we will make do. It is a bit humid, though, isn't it?
Father, I see your boat still floats.
Geppetto Yes, yes. That is a good little boat.
As soon as Monstro opens his mouth, we can sail out of here.
Geppetto Well, I don't know about that, Pinocchio. I mean, look at all this junk. It looks to me like everything comes in, but nothing goes out, except the other way, presumably, but that is not a good option.
[jumps on some dust, making Figaro sneeze; gets an idea]
Father, what's inside that lantern?
Geppetto Ironically, whale oil.
That's right, and I have an idea!
Geppetto Pinocchio. My boy, you're here?
Yes, Father, I'm here. We're all here.
Geppetto [groans]
Oh. Cleo? Figaro? Figaro, Cleo, you're all here. Oh, I had the strangest dream. I dreamt that we had all been swallowed by a whale.
Yes, Father. But it wasn't a whale. It was a sea monster, and we got out.
Geppetto Oh! Yes! Yes, we did. Now I remember. You saved us. You swam faster than any clipper ship could sail. No real boy could ever do such a thing. Oh, Pinocchio, you honestly did try with all your heart and that makes you a truthful boy. And you know what else it makes you? Unselfish and very, very brave. Pinocchio, when you first came to me, I might have made you think I wanted somebody else. But it was you I was wishing for. You will always be my real boy. There isn't a single thing I would change about you. I am so very proud of you... and I love you so very much.
I love you too, Father.
Geppetto Well, well, we have come quite a long way, haven't we, son?
We sure have, Father. Now let's get you home.
Geppetto Yes, let's get home. Come on, Cleo, Figaro. But... Pinocchio, do you know the way?
We'll follow that light.
