Reunion Inside the Whale's Belly
Geppetto Pinocchio, I'm so happy to see you. Oh. So happy to see my boy.
Pinocchio 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?
Pinocchio Father, I see your boat still floats.
Geppetto Yes, yes. That is a good little boat.
Pinocchio 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.
Pinocchio Father, what's inside that lantern?
[jumps on some dust, making Figaro sneeze; gets an idea]
Geppetto Ironically, whale oil.
Pinocchio That's right, and I have an idea!
A Conversation About Kids and Competition
Lampwick Now we're talking. Am I great or what?
Pinocchio It's awfully quiet. Where do you suppose all the kids went, Lampy?
Lampwick They're around here somewhere. What do you care? They're all losers anyway. Four in the corner. Oh! Look at that. Another perfect shot, if I do say so myself.
Pinocchio's Urgent Call for Help
Pinocchio Father? Father?
Jiminy Pinoke, you made it.
Pinocchio Jiminy, Father looks like he's hurt. I have to help him.
Jiminy You go. I'll catch up.
Pinocchio Father? Father, talk to me. Say something. Father, wake up. Father, Figaro is here. And Cleo. They're all here. Don't die, Father. Please don't die.
[Random; Random; voice breaking; sobbing]
Pinocchio's Journey from School to Fame
Pinocchio Father, I'm sorry I didn't come home after I got kicked out of school.
Geppetto You got kicked out of school?
Pinocchio Yes, for being a puppet. So I joined the puppet show and became famous.
Geppetto You became famous?
Pinocchio 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?
Pinocchio Yes.
Geppetto My goodness. I haven't done a fraction of that in my whole life.
Pinocchio 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…
Sofia Monstro! It's Monstro! IT'S MONSTRO!
[fleeing away]
Jiminy Well, I'll be. He's asleep. Wake up! My friend's in there! Open up, you big blubber mouth!
[floats all the way down to Monstro's mouth as he goes to sleep]
The Allure of Pleasure Island
Coachman Your conscience is the last thing you want to take to Pleasure Island.
Pinocchio Pleasure Island? Is that where you're going?
Lampwick You bet your sweet patootie that's where we're going. It's the greatest joy joint in the world. No cops, no parents, no rules. You can tear the place apart and nobody says a word.
Misunderstandings About Damage and Repair
Honest John Uh-oh. Oh, God! Oh, my, my! How clumsy of me. I am terribly sorry. I do hope you're not injured.
[picks Pinocchio up; kicks Gideon away before setting Pinocchio down]
Pinocchio Injured?
Honest John Damaged. Broken. Irreparably splintered beyond repair.
Pinocchio I'm not broken.
Honest John Thank heavens. You must be constructed of pretty sturdy oak.
[sighs in relief]
Pinocchio I'm pine. That's why I'm called…
Honest John Yes, pine. Well, we can't all be constructed of quality lumber. Well, well. Quite the scholar, I see. A man of letters. I presume you're on your way to lecture at the science academy?
[Laughs; tosses the apple aside after taking only one bite out of it]
Pinocchio No. I'm going to school, so I can learn a bunch of stuff to be a real boy, and make my father proud.
Honest John A real boy? Why on Earth would you want to be real when you can be… famous?
Pinocchio Famous?
Honest John Yes, famous. I'm speaking of the theater. Bright lights. Music. Applause. Fame!
Pinocchio Fame? But I want to be real.
[starts to walk away, but Honest John holds him back with his cane]
Honest John Yes, yes, my boy. But did you know, many people say that you're not actually real until everybody knows about you? Why, to be famous is to be real. Until then, you're just a nobody. Do you want to be a nobody? No! Nobody wants to be a nobody. Everybody who's anybody wants to be a somebody.
Pinocchio But my father said I should go to school.
Honest John Of course he did. All parents say that. But he doesn't recognize your genius. Who needs an education when one has such a personality, such a profile, such a physique?
Geppetto Encourages Pinocchio to Attend School
Geppetto Pinocchio, I have been thinking. Maybe it is time for you to go to school.
Pinocchio Really, Father? Really?
Lessons on School and Responsibility
Jiminy Hold up here, Pinoke. Boy, they ought to do something about the loose gravel on this road. One of these days, a heavy wagon is gonna fling one of these rocks and hurt somebody. What in Sam Hill do we pay taxes for?
Pinocchio What are taxes?
Jiminy Nothing you need to worry about, especially now that you're not gonna be famous. But here's what you do need to know about school: One, pay attention. Two, obey the rules. And three, do whatever the teacher tells you to do. Got it?
Pinocchio Got it. Aren't you coming with me?
[Jiminy hops off his shoulder]
Jiminy Uh, no, Pinoke. Most schools don't take kindly to insects. They lump me in with wasps, cockroaches and termites. I'll be waiting for you when school lets out. Get you home by the stroke of 3:17.
Pinocchio OK, Jiminy.
Jiminy Whoa! See what I mean?
[to the viewers]
Jiminy He's a good kid, right? And here's the good news: It seems Pinocchio is serious about becoming brave, truthful, and unselfish, and he listened to his conscience. I bet you were thinking I dropped the ball, but old Jiminy picked up the fumble, and it's smooth sailing from here.
[to the viewers]
Headmaster Out! Get out! Get out, and stay out! School is for real children, not ridiculous puppets. Puppets belong in a puppet show. Get in. Come on.
[kicks him out while all the other children laugh at him; heads back inside, shutting the door behind him]
Jiminy Well, I'll be. Hey! What's the big idea?! Get me outta here! Lemme out!
[stunned; goes to walk over to him, but Honest John traps him in a jar, as he runs over to Pinocchio, except Gideon, who looks at Jiminy with a taunting grin before following his friend]
Honest John This is an outrage! An atrocity!
Pinocchio I don't think that teacher likes me.
Honest John Oh, who cares what he thinks? His pedagogy is completely outdated. Is his curriculum child-led? Brain-based for a growth mindset? I think not. He makes no room for different learning styles.
[slaps Gideon in the face]
Pinocchio He said I didn't belong. All the kids laughed at me.
Honest John Of course they did. Puppets make people laugh. Oh, you poor, poor misunderstood boy. Don't you see? You don't fit in a traditional educational environment. You are misunderstood, just like every great actor who ever walked the Earth. School is for ordinary, humdrum, common, boring, silly little children! Not brilliant artists like yourself. It's fame you want. Fame and fortune.
Pinocchio But my father…
Hones John Wanted you to go to school and you did. You went to school. You gave it the old college try. And what did the wise and learned schoolmaster say?
Pinocchio He said I belong in a puppet show.
Honest John Alas, a puppet show. I rest my case. Now we're talking!
[gasps; holds his hand out to Pinocchio, who reaches out for it and shakes it anyway]
Jiminy No!
Honest John To Stromboli's! Fame awaits!
Figaro the Cat's Perspective on Life

Choosing Responsibility Over Temptation
Coachman Well, kids, it seems we have a doubter in our midst. A killjoy who apparently doesn't believe in having fun. I mean, who doesn't believe in transformative experiences? Shall we all turn tail and go running back to Mommy and Daddy?
Children NO!
Pinocchio Look, you kids go. I'll go another time.
Desire for Integrity in Boyhood
Lampwick Hey, Slats, there's something I've been meaning to ask you. How come you didn't bust any of them cuckoo clocks? Any real kid would love to smash those clocks.
Pinocchio It just didn't feel right.
Lampwick Listen to Mr. Goody Two-Shoes. Well, I guess you ain't transformed into a complete jerk yet.
[laughs; chuckles]
Pinocchio I don't want to be a jerk. I want to be a real boy.
Lampwick The way you're going, you might make it to half a real boy. It looks to me like you still got a conscience inside of you.
[scoffs]
Pinocchio I wish I still did had a conscience.
Jiminy Pinocchio!
Invitation to Pleasure Island's Attractions
Coachman Welcome to Pleasure Island! Come right inside, enjoy the ride, and see the show! There's so much fun here to keep you smiling. And no one is ever gonna tell you "no!
Stromboli's Control Over Pinocchio
Stromboli 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!
[shouting in Italian, then in English; cut to him throwing Pinocchio and shuts him in a bird cage]
Pinocchio Let me go! Let me out of here! Help!
Stromboli There. This will be your home. Where I can find you… Always.
[locks up the cage with a key]
Pinocchio Oh, no. No, no!
Stromboli Yes, yes. To me you are belong.
Pinocchio Let me go! Let me out of here! Help! Father!
Stromboli Father? No parent wants a bizzaria like you.
Pinocchio No, no!
Stromboli Parents want a real kid.
Pinocchio Jiminy. Father. Help! Help! Oh, no. Help! Please.
[whimpering]
Stromboli My little wooden gold mine.
[puts the key on a hook next to the door; speaking in Italian; in English; laughs maliciously and closes the door behind him, locking it]
Debate on Fairness in Competition
Pinocchio I still say it's not right to yell right as somebody's about to make a shot.
Lampwick Get over it. Everybody's knows psyching out your opponent is a great strategy. You gotta do what you gotta do to win.
Pinocchio You're wrong, Lampy. I still call what you did cheating.
Lampwick Come on. To hear you talk, you'd think something terrible was gonna happen to us. Conscience, right. What a crock.
[suddenly sprouts some donkey ears; Pinocchio gasps and pushes his root beer away; sprouts a donkey tail]
Pinocchio Uh, Lampy, you might want to check your…
Lampwick What do I look like to you? A jackass?
[turns and faces him, now with a donkey head; brays]
Pinocchio You sure are…
[gasps; laughs; brays as he covers his mouth]
Lampwick Hey, you sound just like a donkey… Did that come out of me?
[brays]
Pinocchio Uh-huh.
[horrified]
Lampwick Help! Somebody help me! I've been double-crossed! I've been played! Help me, please! Anybody! Anybody, please! Just call anybody! Help me, please! MAMA! MAMA!
[looks at his reflection in the mirror, seeing he's half-human and half-donkey, breathes heavily, then whimpers, finally realizing, and screams in horror; brays; rushes over to Pinocchio and grabs him; desperately; let goes of him as his hands start turning into hooves]
Reunion and Reflection in a Dream Sequence
Geppetto Pinocchio. My boy, you're here?
Pinocchio Yes, Father, I'm here. We're all here.
Geppetto 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.
[groans]
Pinocchio 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.
Pinocchio I love you too, Father.
Geppetto Well, well, we have come quite a long way, haven't we, son?
Pinocchio 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?
Pinocchio We'll follow that light.
Unexpected Changes in Pinocchio's Appearance
Sabina Pinocchio!
[gasp; chuckling]
Pinocchio Sabina? I'm so glad it's you!
Sabina Look. You've got new ears!
[gasp; chuckling]
Pinocchio Uh yeah, and a new tail.
Sabina Pinocchio, we, the members of the New Marionette Family Theater, have a very important proposition.
Pinocchio You started your own puppet show?
Sabina We sure did. Last night, the Carabinieri arrested Stromboli and put him jail.
Pinocchio Wow. The New Marionette Family Theater! I like it.
Sabina But there's more, we would be honored if you want me and your show.
Pinocchio Really? You want me in your show?
Unexpected Rescue in Pinocchio's Journey
Pinocchio Figaro, Cleo, I've got Father!
[dives into the water and brings Geppetto up to the surface and on the broken half of the boat]
Jiminy Pinoke!
[floating down]
Pinocchio Jiminy, thank goodness! I thought you were a goner.
Jiminy Look! He sneezed us back toward land! HERE HE COMES!
[he and Pinocchio see Monstro emerging from the ocean, angrily chasing towards them]
Pinocchio Everybody, hold on!
[spots a cave in a cliff far in the distance]
Discussion of a Mysterious Departure
Jiminy All of his clocks are gone.
Pinocchio What do you think happened to him?
Sofia He sailed out to sea.
[squawking and appearing in sight]
Pinocchio & Jiminy He sailed out to sea?!
[surprised]
Sofia That's right. Sailed out to sea. Am I not speaking clearly?
Jiminy How?
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.
Pinocchio Gee. He sold his clocks to find me?
Sofia That's right, kid. You mean more to him than his beloved clocks.
Jiminy Moreover thanking anyone.
Pinocchio Let's go!
[determined]
