Pinocchio [edit]
- I can move. I can talk. I can walk!
- I should've listened to you, Jiminy.
- I'd rather be smart than be an actor.
Jiminy Cricket [edit]
- [after singing "When You Wish Upon a Star"] Pretty, huh? I'll bet a lot of you folks don't believe that, about a wish comin' true, do ya? Well, I didn't, either. Of course, I'm just a cricket singing my way from hearth to hearth, but let me tell you what made me change my mind...
- [after Pinocchio is brought to life] What they can't do these days.
- [When Pinocchio is locked in a cage] Oh, buck up, son. It could be worse. Be cheerful... [breaks down and cries] LIKE ME!! [Pinocchio begins to sob harder, and a tear fell on his hat] Awwww, take it easy, son. Go ahead, blow. [Pinocchio blows his nose on the hankerchef] Atta boy. [Jiminy also blows his nose with the hankerchef]] Oh, well, it stopped raining anyway.
- A fine conscience I turned out to be!
- What does an actor want with a conscience, anyway?
- Go ahead. Make a fool of yourself, and maybe you'll listen to your concience.
- [while at Pleasure Island] Pinocchio! [coughs] Pinocchio! There's something phony about all this. I got to get him outta here.
- Pinocchio! So this is where I find you? How do you ever expect to be a real boy? Look at yourself, [Pulls the ciger out of Pinocchio's mouth and tosses it] smoking! Playing pool! [Jiminy kicks the #8 ball, and shouts in pain] Owww! You're coming right home with me this minute!
Dialogue [edit]
- 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] may be right at the wrong time, or visa versa. [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.
- Stromboli: There! This will be your home, (locks Pinocchio in a bird cage) 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, "Constantanopelie".
- Pinocchio: No! No!
- Stromboli: Yes! We start tonight! Hmmmm....you will make lots of money, for me! And when you are growing too old, you will make good...FIREWOOD! [throws his axe, which lands on a broken puppet, Stromboli laughs evilly as Pinocchio looks horrified]
- Pinocchio: Let me outta here! I gotta get out! You can't keep me!
- Stromboli: [jumps and slams his feet on the ground] QUIET! SHUT UP! Before I knock-a you silly. Good night, my little wooden gold mine. [Stromboli laughs again, slams the door, blows out the light, and make the room completely dark.]
- [Foulfellow is telling the Coachman their success at fooling Pinocchio]
- Foulfellow: ...and the dummy fell for it! [laughs] Hook, Line, and Sinker! [continues laughing, as Gideon hiccups] And he still thinks we're his friends! And did Stromboli pay? Plenty! [lays a small bag of money on the table] That shows how low Honest John will stoop... eh, Giddy? [Gideon, drinking a beer, nods in agreement right before hiccuping, spilling the beer all over him] Now, Coachman... what's your proposition?
- The Coachman: Well... how would you blokes like to make some real money? [lays an even larger bag of money on the table]
- Foulfellow: Well! And who do we have to, eh... [makes throat-slashing motion]?
- The Coachman: No, no! Nothing like that. You see... [looks around to see if anyone is listening; Foulfellow does the same] I'm collecting stupid little boys.
- Foulfellow: "Stupid little boys"?
- The Coachman: You know, the disobedient ones who play hooky from school.
- Foulfellow: Oh!
- The Coachman: And you see... [whispers in Foulfellow's ear; Gideon puts his ear to Foulfellow's other ear so he can listen as well] And I takes 'em to Pleasure Island.
- Foulfellow: [nods in agreement] Ah, Pleasure Island... [is suddenly shocked at this mention] Pleasure Island?! But the law! Suppose they...?!
- The Coachman: No, no. There is no risk. They never come back... as BOYS!! [leans in close to camera and smiles wickedly]
- Foulfellow: Close your eyes. What do you see?
- Pinocchio: Nothing.
- Foulfellow: [holds a spotted handkerchief in front of Pinocchio] Open them. Now what do you see?
- Pinocchio: Spots.
- Lampwick: (While on the coach to Pleasure Island he and Pinocchio meet for the first time) Me name's Lampwick wat's yours?
- Pinocchio: (Doff's his hat) Pinocchio!
- Lampwick: Ever been to pleasure Island?
- Pinocchio: No
- Lampwick: Me neither!
(The coachman smiles evily)
- Lampwick: Huh. To hear that beetle talk... [takes a sip of his beer] You'd think something was gonna happen to us.
- [Lampwick then sprouts donkey ears unaware of this. Pinocchio gapes, looks down at his beer, realizes that it has an effect in it, and pushes it away]
Conscience. Ah, phooey!
- [strikes a ball and grows a donkey tail as a shocked Pinocchio throws away his cigar]
Where does he get that stuff? How do you ever expect to be a real boy? [leans over the pool table, his head turns brown] What's he think I look like? [grabs his cigar and shows Pinocchio that he now has a donkey head] A jackass?
- Pinocchio: You sure do. [laughs, but suddenly begins to bray in the middle of his laughter, and then covers his mouth to stop in shock.]
- Lampwick: Hey, you laugh like a donkey.
[laughs, then also brays, and covers his mouth to stop] Did that come out of me?!
- [Pinocchio nods in a horrified look. Lampwick feels his face, realizing he has a muzzle, and feels nothing but fur, until he tugs at his ears] What the--?
What's going on?!
- [looks in the mirror, realizes that he is turning into a donkey, and screams in terror]
- Lampwick: AAAAAAAAAAAAH! I'VE BEEN DOUBLE-CROSSED! Help! Help! SOMEBODY HELP! I'VE BEEN FRAMED! HELP!!
- [begs to Pinocchio, who was backing into a wall, and getting his braces grabbed Lampwick's hands] Please, you've gotta help me. Oh, look, come on, be a pal. Call that beetle. Call anybody.
- [lets go of Pinocchio as his hands close up and become hooves]
- Lampwick: Mama? MAAAAAAMAAAAAAAAAAA!!...
- [in the shadow, Lampwick is forced on all fours, having turned completely into a donkey, begins to kick everything in the room, and starts braying uncontrollably. Pinocchio runs away and hides under a chair. After Lampwick leaves braying wildly, he sprouts grey donkey ears.]
- Pinocchio: OOOOH!!! What's happening?
- Jiminy: (Running towards the pool hall) I hope I'm not too late.
- Pinocchio: What will I do? (Sprouts a grey donkey tail, grabs hold of its end, and gasps)
[Pinocchio, having heard that Geppetto is alive after getting swallowed by Monstro, takes off to save him]
- Jiminy Cricket: [following after Pinocchio] Hey, where ya goin'?
- Pinocchio: I'm going to find him!
- Jiminy Cricket: But Pinoke, are you crazy? Don't you realize he's in a whale?
- Pinocchio: I've gotta go to him!
- Jiminy Cricket: Hey, Pinoke! Wait! Listen here, son!
- [Pinocchio 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] Why, he swallows whole ships alive! [He then helps tie Pinocchio's tail to the rock completely] 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! [hops onto the rock and holds his nose] Let's go. LOOK OUT BELOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW!!!!!
