JIMINY CRICKET: An actor's life is gay No, that'd be snitching. I'll go after him yself.
STROMBOLI: Ladies and gentlemen, to conclude the performance of this great show, Stromboli
the Master Showman that's a-me
and by special permission of the management that's a-me too is presenting to you something you will absolutely refuse to believe.
JIMINY CRICKET: Well, looks like a sell-out.
STROMBOLI: Introducing
the only marionette who can sing and dance absolutely without the aids of strings.
I hope so. The one and only Pinocchio!
JIMINY CRICKET: Hmph! What a build-up. Go ahead, make a fool of yourself. Then maybe you'll listen to your conscience.
STROMBOLI:
Cute kid.
JIMINY CRICKET: Hmm, they like him. He's a success. Gosh, maybe I was wrong. Well, guess he won't need me any more. What does an actor want with a conscience anyway?
GEPPETTO: What could have happened to him? Where could he be at this hour? I'd better go out again and look for him. And remember, nobody eats a bite until I find him.
STROMBOLI: I got-a no strings but I got-a the brain I buy a new suit and I swing-a the chain I eat-a the best and I drink-a champagne I got-a no strings on me Bravo, Pinocchio!
PINOCCHIO: They like me.
STROMBOLI: Hmm, two hundred. You are sensational!
PINOCCIO: Ya mean I'm good?
STROMBOLI: Ahh, three hundred. You are colossal!
PINOCCHIO: Does that mean I'm an actor?
STROMBOLI: Sure. I will push you in the public's eye. Your face, she will be on everybody's tongue.
PINOCCHIO: Will she?
STROMBOLI: Ye... Uh, huh? What's this? Ahhh! For you, my little Pinocchio.
PINOCCHIO: For me? Gee, thanks! I'll run right home and tell my father.
STROMBOLI: Home? Oh, sure. Going home to your father. Oh, that is very comical!
PINOCCHIO: Ya mean it's funny?
STROMBOLI: Oh, sure! Yes.
PINOCCHIO: I'll be back in the morning.
STROMBOLI: Be back in the morning. Going home. There, this will be your home, where I can find you always.
PINOCCHIO: No, no, no!
STROMBOLI: Yes, yes, yes! To me you are belonging. We will tour the world. Paris. London. Monte Carlo. "Constantinopolee."
PINOCCHIO: No, no!
STROMBOLI: Yes! We start tonight! Hmm. You will make lots of money for me! And when you are growing too old, you will make good... firewood!
