Pinocchio

RESTAURANT

Good morning, Geppetto.

- 'Morning. - Good morning.

Good morning.

Can I bring you something?

- For me? - Yes.

No, no. I wanted I wanted...

Me nothing, I came to warm myself up, because outside it's freezing.

It's terrible.

May I sit here? For a moment to warm myself?

- Yeah, sit down, sit down. - Thanks.

Excuse me but I very nearly broke my foot.

Look here.

This could break at any moment!

No, it's fine like this, it won't break.

But I can do this work in half an hour. It's cheap, Moreno.

- It's solid. It's fine like this. - Alright, just as you want.

But here...

Excuse me, but...

This table is all leaning to the right. See?

- The table? - You can't eat off it.

No.

The problem is more serious, it will take a couple of days, but...

I don't mean right now, I'll pick it up tomorrow, I'll fix it easily.

Geppetto, this is fine like this, don't worry.

Alright.

So, I'll be going. See you.

You can't get a grip on this, the door can't be saved.

Entering it, it won't open, going out, it won't close.

- Listen, I'll fix it up like new. - Come here.

Don't fix anything. Come here.

- Have a seat. - It won't cost you anything.

- Have a seat. - Shall I fix the door?

No, sir. Come and eat. This on the house.

If not, bit by bit you'll demolish the entire inn. Sit.

Alright, Moreno.

Anyway, the door has to be changed.

I know.

I'll give you this nice piece of bread with cheese, too, see?

- Thanks. - But don't say anything else. Alright?

I mean, it's not that urgent.

Could last some days. Actually, for me...

The table is fine too like this.

- It's almost fixed. - Even the chair, yes, it's acceptable.

Come enjoy the entertainment! Come and be merry!

For all the children and all the families!

The Great Theatre of Puppets!

You can also pay with things to eat!

The entertainment is guaranteed!

Excuse me... But puppets like how?

- What kind of... - Puppets, puppets.

- But made of wood? - Yes, what else would they be made of?

Ah, yes? Can I see? One moment.

No.

Come on, hurry up!

Tonight, everybody with just four coins!

The most beautiful puppets in the world!

It's a wonderful show!

For all the children, for all the parents!

Hurry, hurry!

Real puppets!

They're real puppets!

Enough! You can't see, I told you that!

No, but you can't see through there, I wanted to see...

- Very well. Thank you. - See you tonight?

- Tonight. - Come on, hurry up!

Children, bring your parents!

It's the most beautiful show of all time!

Mastro Ciliegia!

Mastro Ciliegia!

Ciliegia!

Ciliegia, what're you doing down there?

Nothing, nothing.

Ciliegia, it's me.

What's up? Alright?

Yes.

Speak, speak.

No, I just came because...

To ask you a favour...

Listen, this morning I had an idea, like a dream for me.

You listening to me, Ciliegia? May I tell you?

Yes.

I've been thinking to make with my hands, by myself, a wooden puppet.

But not a puppet that's ordinary!

It must be the most... The most beautiful in the world,

so they can say, "But who made this?" They must be overwhelmed when they see it.

And together with this puppet, I want to travel the whole world

and try to make my living honestly.

I already found a name!

I thought of Pinocchio. Nice, right?

Yes.

- Ciliegia. - Eh?

Ciliegia, tell me the truth. You been at the bottle?

No. I didn't touch a drop.

- You had one too many. - No.

I know it. And you can tell me.

Geppetto, from me, what do you want?

I want a small favour. I care for you very much.

- I always cared for you. - Yes.

Mastro Ciliegia, I would need, if for you it doesn't matter a piece of wood,

because in this moment I have nothing.

- Do you have a piece of wood? - Yes!

Yes!

I've one. I've one.

Take that one.

Ciliegia, what you mean? Are you drunk for real?

But this is too much!

Take it. Take it!

No, I can't accept it. Any old piece is enough.

This one. It's a present.

No. This one, no.

I need it.

It's a gift for you!

But Ciliegia, this...

Let me see...

Oh, mamma, but this is...

one of the most beautiful pieces of wood I have ever seen in my life.

I can make... I can make a puppet that's marvellous.

There. Almost finished, right?

Can you hear me, Pinocchio?

Can you hear me?

Try, Pinocchio.

Pinocchio. Try, say something.

Move your mouth, to your babbo.

There, say "babbo".

Ba-bbo.

Watch, watch.

Ba-bbo.

Come on.

Pinocchio.

Babbo.

Babbo.

I have a son!

My son is born!

I have a little boy! Do you hear me?

I've become a babbo!

I'm a babbo now!

What's happening?

Remigio! You'll never guess what happened.

What?

- I have a little boy, just born! - Really?

Come on! Well done!

Thanks. I've become a babbo!

- Oh, Geppetto! - Barbara!

- What's going on? - Well, Barbara, it's amazing!

I have a little son. I've become a babbo!

From one day to the next? All of a sudden?

What you mean "from one day"? From one minute to the next!

- Are you pulling my leg? - No!

Well, I'm happy for you, but now go to bed, right? Please.

You've woken up the entire neighbourhood.

No, no, I don't want to wake anyone. But, just to tell what happened...

My son is born!

Almost finished.

Almost finished.

Look.

There. This is you, Pinocchio. Do you like yourself?

D'you like yourself?

Do you like the way I made you?

I'm delighted.

Now then, Pinocchio, careful. Your babbo will teach you how to walk.

You must walk properly, otherwise you'll fall and hurt yourself.

You have to be careful.

Watch, I'll teach you.

First one leg and then the other.

One... And two. Watch me.

And one... and two, and one...

and two, and one... and two.

If you do like me, in two or three days you'll be walking alo...

Pinocchio!

Pinocchio! You learned already?

Pinocchio!

Pinocchio!

Pinocchio! How come?

I haven't even finished and you're already disrespectful to babbo.

It's not a good start, my son.

Not good at all!

Babbo, I'm going!

Listen to babbo. Don't go away.

Help!

Pinocchio!

Pinocchio.

Pinocchio!

Pinocchio!

Pinocchio!

Who's there?

It's me.

I'm the Talking Cricket.

And I've lived here for more than a hundred years.

I saw the way you behaved with your father.

And I want to tell you a great truth:

Woe betide the children who disobey their parents.

They will never get very far in this world.

But I don't feel like obeying.

Really? And when you go to school?

In fact I don't feel like going to school.

Poor Pinocchio.

I feel great sympathy for you.

And why?

Because you're a puppet.
