[As Pinocchio and Jiminy return home during sunrise, they look through the window to see that Geppetto isn't home]
All of his clocks are gone.
What do you think happened to him?
Sofia [squawking and appearing in sight]
He sailed out to sea.
PJ Pinocchio & Jiminy
[surprised]
He sailed out to sea?!
Sofia That's right. Sailed out to sea. Am I not speaking clearly?
Sofia How do you mean? In boat. He needed to get to Pleasure Island to lock for Pinocchio. So he sold all of his clocks and he bought a boat. Those clocks meant everything to him. It's his life's work.
Gee. He sold his clocks to find me?
Sofia That's right, kid. You mean more to him than his beloved clocks.
Moreover thanking anyone.
S Sabina
[gasp]
Pinocchio! [chuckling]
Sabina? I'm so glad it's you!
S Sabina
[gasp]
Look. [chuckling] You've got new ears!
S Sabina
Pinocchio, we, the members of the New Marionette Family Theater, have a very important proposition.
You started your own puppet show?
S Sabina
We sure did. Last night, the Carabinieri arrested Stromboli and put him jail.
[The scene quickly shows last night when Stromboli is thrown into his cell as he was arrested]
Wow. The New Marionette Family Theater! I like it.
S Sabina
But there's more, we would be honored if you want me and your show.
Really? You want me in your show?
F Fabiana
Yep, donkey ears and all.
S Sabina
And we want you to be the headliner.
Really? I can't think of anything more wonderful. But... Uh... I have to stay and find my father.
S Sabina
[His donkey ears and tail suddenly disappear]
Pinocchio, something tells me the decision you made is the right one.
It sure is, Pinoke. I'm proud of you, kiddo. And look! Your donkey ears are gone!
Yeah! My donkey ears are gone!
S Sabina
Well, we've got to get going. Perhaps I'll see you next year when we come back to put on a show in Siena?
S Sabina
Until next year. And, Pinocchio, please give my best to your father.
FA Fabiana and Sabina
When you find him.
Holy moly! I almost forgot. Sofia said Geppetto left about two hours ago, headed south. She agreed to airlift us so we can search for...
Sofia Hold on one gosh-darn minute. Let's get something straight here, Mr. Cricket. I said I'd airlift you, not him. I can't carry a heavy block of wood. No offense, kid.
Well, what are we gonna do?
Father, I'm sorry I didn't come home after I got kicked out of school.
You got kicked out of school?
Yes, for being a puppet. So I joined the puppet show and 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!
You did all that in one day?
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.)
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…
Sofia [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!
