PINOCCHIO:

HE WAS GOOD.

OH, YOU

THAT'S THE ONLY WAY HE COULD

BECOME A REAL LIVE BOY.

HE HAD TO BE GOOD.

WELL, THAT'S TRUE,

AND HE TRIED:

TO BE GOOD.

HE TRIED:

BUT HE KEPT GIVING

IN TO TEMPTATION

AND DOING THESE:

REALLY BAD, BAD THINGS.

AND THAT'S WHY

THE BLUE FAIRY:

MADE HIS NOSE:

GROW LONGER:

EVERY TIME:

HE TOLD A LIE.

THAT'S WHY SHE

GAVE HIM A CRICKE TO AC AS HIS CONSCIENCE,

TO TRY TO:

KEEP HIM FROM DOING

THESE REALLY:

BAD, BAD THINGS.

BUT NOTHING:

AND NOW...

HE'S COMING

HEY, SOPHIA SAID DADDY

HE WAS JUST UPSET.

IT'S THE FIRST BIRTHDAY

HE'S EVER MISSED.

PINOCCHIO SAYS HE WANTS

TO SLEEP WITH ME TONIGHT.

PINOCCHIO'S FINE

WHERE HE IS.

NOW, REMEMBER,

PINOCCHIO'S JUST VISITING

UNTIL YOU GET YOUR

REAL PRESENT, O.K.?

BESIDES, HE WOULDN'T WAN TO SLEEP NEXT TO WALTER.

WHY NOT?

BECAUSE HE GOT SWALLOWED

BY A WHALE, REMEMBER?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING

IN MY ROOM?

AND THEN DAVID MADE

PINOCCHIO TAP HIS OWN HEAD.

AT FIRST I THOUGH IT WAS KIND OF FUNNY,

BUT NOW I THINK HE MIGHT HAVE

HURT PINOCCHIO'S FEELINGS.

HE WAS CURIOUS:

ABOUT LADIES' BODIES.

AH, HE WAS, WAS HE?

YEAH.

I TRIED TO:

EXPLAIN IT TO HIM,

AFTER HE HEARD YOU AND

DAVID IN YOUR ROOM.

DO YOU WANT TO:

FIST DADDY LEFT ME,

OH, NO.

IT'S ALL RIGHT, EVERYONE.

SHE'S O.K. SHE'S FINE.

YOU'RE A FUNNY MAN,

BARRY.

OH, WELL, YOU SHOULD SEE ME

WITH A LAMPSHADE ON MY HEAD.

WHAT'S UP?

WELL, THANKS TO YOU, MY

DAUGHTER'S NOW COMPLETELY ATTACHED

TO THAT DAMN PUPPET.

WHAT PUPPET?

THE ONE YOU PU IN MY CAR ON FRIDAY.

PINOCCHIO?

[INTERCOM] JENNIFER,

THERE'S A DR. EDWARDS

ON LINE ONE FOR YOU.

A DOCTOR?

WHATEVER HAPPENED

TO THE GARDENER?

LANDSCAPER.

HELLO, DOCTOR. WHA CAN I DO FOR YOU?

ZOE JUST SHOWED UP HERE

AT MY OFFICE UNANNOUNCED.

WHAT?

THERE WAS AN ACCIDEN AT HER SCHOOL.

SHE CLAIMS HER PUPPE PUSHED ONE OF HER CLASSMATES

IN FRONT OF A BUS.

I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.

I'M TAKING IT BACK TO

WORK TOMORROW ANYWAY.

I DON'T THINK

THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.

SHE SEEMS TO HAVE FORMED

A COMPULSIVE-DEPENDEN ATTACHMENT TO IT.

SEPARATION AT THIS POINT MIGH BE TOO TRAUMATIC FOR HER.

ZOE, DO YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED

TO YOUR NEW BETTY DOLL?

PINOCCHIO WAS JEALOUS.

AND WHAT ABOU THE GIRL AT SCHOOL?

SHE WAS PICKING ON ME.

PINOCCHIO WAS JUS TRYING TO PROTECT ME.

DO YOU KNOW THAT SHE COULD

HAVE GOTTEN SERIOUSLY HURT?

PINOCCHIO DIDN'T MEAN

TO DO A BAD THING.

HE JUST DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THE

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG.

HOW LONG'S

IT BEEN LIKE THIS?

EVER SINCE THE DIVORCE.

WE'VE BEEN DRIFTING

FURTHER AND FURTHER APART.

I JUST DON'T KNOW

WHAT TO DO ANYMORE.

COULD YOU QUIT YOUR JOB AND

STAY HOME WITH HER FULL-TIME?

DOES WARREN PAY ALIMONY?

MM-MMM.

JUST CHILD SUPPORT.

I WAS MAKING MORE MONEY THAN

HE WAS WHEN WE SEPARATED.

THAT WAS ONE:

OF THE PROBLEMS.

WELL, YOU KNOW YOU COULD

ALWAYS MOVE IN WITH ME.

WHY NOT?

YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL

ABOUT YOU AND ZOE.

I KNOW.

I KNOW.

I LOVE THE OFFER.

BUT ZOE'S BEEN THROUGH

ENOUGH CHANGES FOR ONE YEAR.

HERE.

SPOON ME.

[SIREN]

LOOK,

THE BOTTOM LINE IS,

THE DECEASED WAS A

WELL-KNOWN PUSHER AND PIMP.

TO TELL THE TRUTH,

I DON'T SEE ANY JURY

FEELING ANY SYMPATHY

TOWARD HIM.

OH, GEE...

WOW.

UM, MAYBE THEY'LL

HAVE A CHANGE OF HEAR WHEN THEY HEAR

HOW HE DIED.

SEE, YOUR CLIENT, HE--HE

HUNG HIM ON A MEAT HOOK,

AND THEN HE TORTURED HIM

TO DEATH WITH A BLOWTORCH.

YOU KNOW, HE EVEN RECORDED

IT SO HE COULD LISTEN TO I AND ENJOY IT AGAIN

AND AGAIN AND AGAIN.

IT'S GREAT.

HERE, TAKE A LISTEN.

AAH!

AAH!

[CHUCKLING]

NO! PLEASE! GOD, NO!

OOH.

NO, PLEASE, GOD!

AAH!

THAT'S GOT TO HURT.

AAH!

[CHUCKLING]

AAH!

AAH!

[LAUGHING]

[RETCHING]

[WATER RUNNING]

HA HA...

AH, SO...

DO WE DEAL:

OR DO YOU STILL:

WANT TO GO TO COURT?

I NEVER HEARD:

MY CLIENT'S VOICE.

EXCUSE ME?

ON YOUR TAPE.

WITHOUT HIS VOICE,

YOUR TAPE IS WORTHLESS.

I'LL HAVE THE JUDGE

RULE IT INFLAMMATORY.

THE JURY:

WILL NEVER HEAR IT.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

GARRICK RESIDENCE.

SOPHIA, HI.

YEAH, IT'S ME.

LISTEN, I'M

GOING TO BE LATE,

SO DON'T HOLD

DINNER FOR ME.

I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT A THE I.N.S. THIS AFTERNOON.

REMEMBER?

TO RENEW MY WORK VISA.

OH, JEEZ,

I COMPLETELY FORGOT.

UM, LISTEN,

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

I'LL CALL DAVID AND SEE

IF HE CAN BABYSIT.

O.K., THANKS.

KAMINSKY'S LANDSCAPING.

HEY. IT'S ME.

LISTEN, I NEED YOU

TO DO ME A BIG FAVOR.

SO AFTER YOU STOLE

HIS HEROIN,

YOU SOLD IT ON THE

STREET YOURSELF?

NO, MAN. I GAVE IT AWAY

TO THE POOR AND NEEDY,

JUST LIKE ROBIN HOOD.

BUT THE STUFF:

WAS UNCUT.
