Quotes29

  • The Blue Fairy: You must learn to choose between right and wrong.
  • Pinocchio: Right and wrong? But how will I know?
  • Jiminy Cricket: [watching] How'll he know!
  • The Blue Fairy: [to Pinocchio] Your conscience will tell you.
  • Pinocchio: What's a conscience?
  • Jiminy Cricket: What's a conscience! I'll tell ya! A conscience is that still small voice that people won't listen to. That's just the trouble with the world today...
  • Pinocchio: Are you my conscience?
  • Jiminy Cricket: Who, me?
  • Geppetto: [waking up to a loud crashing noise] Who's there?

  • Pinocchio: But father, I'm alive. See?
  • [Looks at himself]
  • Pinocchio: And... and I'm... I'm real. I'm a real boy!
  • [THAT makes Geppetto look up]
  • Geppetto: You're alive! And... and you are a real boy!
  • Pinocchio: I'd rather be smart than be an actor.
  • Lampwick: [picks up Jiminy] Hey, who's the beetle?
  • Jiminy Cricket: Let go! Put me down!
  • Pinocchio: He's my conscience. He tells me what's right and wrong.
  • Lampwick: What? You mean to tell me you take orders from a grasshopper?
  • Jiminy Cricket: Grasshopper? Look here, you - you impudent young pup! It wouldn't hurt you to take orders from your grasshop - er, your conscience, if you have one!
  • Jiminy Cricket: [pointing to Honest John] Remember what I said about temptations? That's him.
  • Pinocchio: Oh, no, Jiminy. That's Mr. Honest John.
  • Jiminy Cricket: [shocked] Honest John?
  • [Pinocchio, having heard that Geppetto is alive after being swallowed by Monstro, makes the bold decision to save him and takes off]
  • Jiminy Cricket: Hey, where ya goin'?
  • Pinocchio: I'm going to find him!
  • Jiminy Cricket: [following after Pinocchio] But Pinocch, are you crazy? Don't you realize he's in a whale?
  • Pinocchio: I've *gotta* go to him!
  • Jiminy Cricket: [following after] Hey, Pinocch! Wait! Listen here, son!
  • [Pinocchio just keeps going straight to a high cliff overlooking the ocean, Jiminy following all the way]
  • Jiminy Cricket: But this Monstro, I've heard of him; he's a whale of a whale!
  • [Pinocchio starts tying a rock to his donkey tail]
  • Jiminy Cricket: Why, he swallows whole ships alive!
  • [Hhelps tie Pinocchio's tail to the rock completely]
  • Jiminy Cricket: Tie it good and tight now. And besides, it's dangerous! Why, I...
  • Pinocchio: Good-bye, Jiminy.
  • Jiminy Cricket: Good-bye? I may be live bait down there, but I'm with ya!
  • Jiminy Cricket: Now, you see, the world is full of temptations.
  • Pinocchio: Temptations?
  • Jiminy Cricket: Yep, temptations. They're the wrong things that seem right at the time... but... uh... even though the right things may seem wrong sometimes, or sometimes the wrong things...
  • [chuckles]
  • Jiminy Cricket: may be right at the wrong time, or visa versa.
  • Jiminy Cricket: [clears throat] Understand?
  • Pinocchio: [Shakes his head] Uh-uh. But I'm gonna do right.
  • Jiminy Cricket: Atta boy, Pinoke! And I'm gonna help ya.
  • The Blue Fairy: Little puppet made of pine, awake. The gift of life is thine.

  • [stands as the Blue Fairy chuckles]
  • Pinocchio: I can walk!
  • [falls back down clumsily]
  • The Blue Fairy: Yes, Pinocchio. I've given you life.
  • Pinocchio: Why?
  • The Blue Fairy: Because tonight, Geppetto wished for a real boy.
  • Pinocchio: Am I a real boy?
  • The Blue Fairy: No, Pinocchio. To make Geppetto's wish come true will be entirely up to you.
  • Pinocchio: Up to me?
  • The Blue Fairy: Prove yourself brave, truthful and unselfish, and someday you *will* be a real boy.
  • Geppetto: [Inside Monstro the whale] Get out? Oh, no, no, son. I have tried every way. Why, I even built a raft.
  • Pinocchio: [noticing it] 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.
  • Pinocchio: Oh.
  • Geppetto: It's hopeless, Pinocchio. Come, we'll make a nice fire and we cook some of the fish.
  • Pinocchio: A fire? That's it!
  • Geppetto: Yes, and then we'll all eat again.
  • Pinocchio: A great big fire; lots of smoke!
  • Geppetto: Smoke? Oh, yes, sure. Smoked fish will taste good.
  • Pinocchio: Quick, some wood!
  • [grabs some pieces of wood and a wooden chair and places the wood in Geppetto's arms]
  • Geppetto: Pinocchio, not the chair!
  • Pinocchio: Hurry, Father, more wood!
  • [smashes the chair over a wooden barrel while Geppetto adds the wood pieces]
  • Geppetto: But what'll we sit on?
  • Pinocchio: We won't need it. We're getting out!
  • [Grabs a lit lantern and smashes it over the pile of wood, causing a fire to start. He then adds a blanket to create smoke then promptly starts blowing and fanning on the smoke to force it up. The smoke curls upward toward the top of Monstro]
  • Geppetto: Getting out? But how?
  • Pinocchio: We'll make him sneeze!
  • Geppetto: Make him sneeze? Oh, that will make him mad!
  • Geppetto: Now close your eyes and go to sleep.
  • Pinocchio: Why?
  • Geppetto: Everybody has to sleep. Figaro goes to sleep - and Cleo - and besides, tomorrow, you've got to go to school.
  • Pinocchio: Why?
  • Geppetto: Oh, to learn things and get smart.
  • Pinocchio: Why?
  • Geppetto: [starts to fall asleep] Because.
  • Pinocchio: Oh.
  • Geppetto: Oh, Pinocchio! How did you get down here?
  • Pinocchio: I fell down.
  • Geppetto: Oh, you did... Oh! You are talking!
  • Pinocchio: Uh-huh.
  • Geppetto: No! No. no, no!
  • Pinocchio: Yes, and I can move too.
  • Geppetto: No, no, you can't! I'm dreaming in my sleep! Oh, wake me up! Wake me up!
  • [pours a pitcher of water over his head]
  • Geppetto: Now we see who's dreaming. Go on, say something.
  • Pinocchio: ...Gee, you're funny. Do it again!
  • Geppetto: You *do* talk!
  • Pinocchio: Yes! The Blue Fairy came.
  • Geppetto: The Blue Fairy?
  • Pinocchio: Uh-huh, and I got a conscience.
  • Geppetto: A conscience?
  • [Jiminy proudly points to himself]
  • Pinocchio: And someday, I'm gonna be a real boy!
  • Geppetto: A real boy! It's my wish! It's come true!
  • Pinocchio: [looking for Geppetto, who has been swallowed by Monstro the whale] Father!
  • Jiminy Cricket: Father! Huh? He ain't *my* father. Uh, Mr. Geppetto!
  • Foulfellow: [he and Gideon have "diagnosed" Pinocchio's "condition"] My boy, you are *allergic.*
  • Pinocchio: Allergic?
  • Foulfellow: Yes, and there is only one cure: a vacation on Pleasure Island!
  • Pinocchio: Pleasure Island?
  • Foulfellow: Yes!
  • [ge and Gideon dance]
  • Foulfellow: That happy land of carefree boys, where every day's a holiday!
  • Pinocchio: [leaving] But I can't go. I...
  • Foulfellow: [he and Gideon stop him] Why, of course you can go. I'm giving you my ticket.
  • [he produces an ace of spades card and gives it to Pinocchio]
  • Foulfellow: Here.
  • Pinocchio: Thanks. But I...
  • Foulfellow: No, tut-tut-tut, I insist: your health comes first.
  • [he and Gideon grab Pinocchio and escort him away]
  • Foulfellow: Come, the coach departs at midnight!
  • [he sings the Pleasure Island rendition of "Hi-Diddle-Dee-Dee" as they escort Pinocchio away]
  • Pinocchio: [having been 'fished' up into the boat by Geppetto] Hey, Father! Father!
  • Geppetto: Don't bother me now, Pinocchio!
  • [then he realizes]
  • Geppetto: What? Pinocchio?
  • Pinocchio: Father!
  • Geppetto: Pinocchio!
  • Jiminy Cricket: All right, then, here's what we'll tell 'em. You can't go to the theater. Say thank you just the same - you're sorry, but you've got to go to school.
  • Pinocchio: Mmm-hmm.
  • Foulfellow: Pinocchio! Oh, Pinocchio! Woo-hoo!
  • Jiminy Cricket: Here they come, Pinoke. Now, you tell 'em.

  • Pinocchio: Good-bye, Jiminy! Good-bye!
  • Jiminy Cricket: Good-bye? Huh? Good-bye?
  • [Sees Pinocchio going off with Foulfellow and Gideon]
  • Jiminy Cricket: Hey, Pinoke! You can't go...! There he goes. What'll I do? I'll run and tell his father. No, that'd be snitching. I'll go after him myself.
  • Jiminy Cricket: [guietly] Toodle-oo, Stromboli.
  • Pinocchio: Goodbye, Mr Stromb...
  • Jiminy Cricket: Shhh! Quiet! Let's get out of here before something else happens.
  • Foulfellow: [Picks up Pinocchio's schoolbook and apple, which he eats] Well, well. Quite the scholar, I see. Look, Giddy. A man of letters. Here's your book
  • [hands book to Pinocchio]
  • Pinocchio: I'm going to school.
  • Foulfellow: School. Ah, yes. Then perhaps you haven't heard of the easy road to success.
  • Pinocchio: Uh-uh.
  • Foulfellow: No? I'm speaking, my boy, of the theater! Here's your apple.
  • [Hands Pinocchio the apple, eaten down to the core]
  • Foulfellow: Bright lights, music, applause! Fame!
  • [Wiggles eyebrows]
  • Pinocchio: Fame?
  • [Wiggles eyebrows too]

  • Pinocchio: But I'm going...
  • Foulfellow: ...straight to the top! Why, I can see your name in lights, lights six feet high! Uh... what is your name?
  • Pinocchio: Pinocchio.
  • Foulfellow: Pinocchio! P-I-N... er, U-O... Uh, er...
  • [chuckles]
  • Foulfellow: We're wasting precious time. Come. On to the theater!
  • The Blue Fairy: Pinocchio, why didn't you go to school?
  • Jiminy Cricket: [Pinocchio looks up at him] Go ahead. Tell her.

  • [His nose grows even more, taking Jiminy along with it]
  • The Blue Fairy: No!
  • Pinocchio: Yeah!
  • [His nose sprouts flowers]

  • 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]
  • Pinocchio: Oh, look! My nose! What's happened?
  • The Blue Fairy: Perhaps you haven't been telling the truth, Pinocchio.
  • Jiminy Cricket: Perhaps?
  • Pinocchio: Oh, but I have! Every single word!
  • [the branch with the nest on his nose whithers, and the birds fly away, whistling]
