ever have to ask.

Pinocchio, l can

give you a life...

other little boys

only dream of.

What is your decision, Geppetto?

Listen to me.

You're going to go

with that man now.

But l want to be with you.

l know,

but you see--you see,

there--there's no other choice.

You're my papa.

l can't be your papa.

You're made of wood.

You're not flesh.

You're not a real boy.

Now go, for everyone's good!

Let's go.

Son.

Good boy.

l love you, Papa.

l'm sorry.

Why does everything good

get thrown to the beasts?

@ No to tyranny

@ He shall not have his pleasure

@ for goodness shall prevail

l see gold out there--

little pieces of gold.

Yeah, Woody!

@ All the world is waiting

@ A maiden l must save

@ No time for hesitating

@ lf only l were brave

@ For now is the hour

@ l must be the hero

@ lt's my call, that's my cue

@ lt's everything or nothing

@ Look out, he's coming through

Sorry.

Excuse me. Pardon me.

Coming through.

l'll save you--

Sorry.

Puny peasants!

l'll save you, princess.

@ Oh, the giant

@ Please stand up

in defiance

@ The princess shall be mine!

Hey, you up there

with the beard.

@ l was made of freedom

@ Nobody pulls my strings

@ And l can equal any man

@ ln all the grown-up things

@ And l will do or die

@ For l know one thing after all

@ The bigger any giant comes

@ The harder he may fall

@ My hero

@ He saved me

@ My hero, my hero, my hero,

my hero, my hero

l love being a star.

Of course you do.

All real boys love being stars.

Now this is all yours,

Pinocchio.

You can buy anything you want,

and after tonight,

there will be more.

Here.

Now hurry, son.

Get ready for the next scene.

Champagne.

OK, kiddo, now we're

in the swing of things.

Lesson number one--

beware of temptation.

Applause may be good

for the moment,

but love is everlasting.

l do have love.

Lorenzini loves me.

That's not love.

He's fooling you.

He's got evil plans

in the works,

and he's using you

to make them come true.

Why do you have to

make everything so hard?

No pain, no gain.

They love us.

To success.

Wait till they see

what l've got for them next.

Pinocchio, you're on.

@ What are we made of?

@ Can we know what we will be?

@ Whar are the chances

@ l can find the better path

@ The better life

@ The better me?

@ What are we made of?

@ lf you think you know the answer

@ Turn arround

@ Think again

@ Carabonza!

@ The fire-breathing monster

@ Alas, we are undone

Stand by for fireworks.

Here's your proof, Pinocchio.

This is how much

Lorenzini loves you.

You can save the others,

if you want.

This is your chance, Pinocchio.

You can do what's right.

Those puppets are

your brothers and sisters.

Stop it.

Brilliant acting, Pinocchio.

Geppetto made them.

l won't let them burn.

Good work!

- No.

- Yes.

ls it hot in here,

or is it me? Ciao!

Come here, you little--

There.

Get him.

Signor Lorenzini,

l'm sorry things

didn't quite work out.

l don't know. l think things

turned out rather well.

l guess you'll pay us

our commission now, huh?

Pay you?

l will kill you if you don't

bring me that puppet.

l thought you were burned.

Where's my Pinocchio?

There he is! On the bridge!

Grab him!

@ What are we made of?

@ Just for this moment

@ Take your life

into your hands

@ You'll decide

what you are made of

@ What it is that l can be

@ Turn arround

@ Think again

Pinocchio?

Oh, Leona

l've been all over town.

So have l.

l hope you had more luck.

l asked Carmella

if she'd seen Pinocchio.

She said no.

But then l went to see Tino.

He said no.

But then l went to see

Maria, the witch--

the one who hasn't

spoken in years.

- What did she say?

- Nothing.

But... she gave me this.

A stick?

What's it mean?

Think about it.

Pinocchio probably feels like

he can't come home,

like he'd only be

in trouble if he does.

Yes...

Where would you go

if you felt that way?

l... don't know.

Someplace safe.

And where would that be,

given the fact that

you're made out of wood?

The forest.

Thank you, Maria.

What are you waiting for?

Let's go.

Smell that pine.

You know, they ought

to bottle that scent...

so you can spray it

arround your house.

Have l told you what an honor

it is to be your cricket?

You were brilliant last night.

You stayed cool

when things got hot.

You did the right thing,

and you deserve to be proud.

This is where l belong.

You know, l prefer

the beach myself,

but property there

is so expensive.

You've gone back to your roots.

l know you feel lost, Pinocchio.

Believe me, it's only natural,

but you can't stay here.

Go away, please.

l fell happy here.

You can't sleep

your problems away.

You've got to get back

to your papa.

Bye.

We've got to roll.

Let's make tracks. Let's go!

Follow me! Off we go!

Run. Run. Run.

Pepe?

Where are you when l need you?

Quit it!

Peck on someone your own size.

''Let's get into

the puppet business,'' you said.

- l never--

- Shut up!

- ''We'll be rich,'' you said.

- l didn't...

Shut up. ''He's worth

a fortune,'' you said.

Why do l always listen to you?

Get off!

Go away.

Who do you suppose

that might be?

Are you serious?

Go away.

Pinocchio!

Out of my way.

Let's put Lorenzini off

forjust a few more minutes.

Hey, l know you.

You're friends with Lorenzini.

We're finished with him now.

- We're repugnant.

- Repentant.

Yeah, that, too.

And we're here to

ask for forgiveness.

What's forgiveness?

Forgiveness means that when

you did something really wrong,

you want somebody to tell you...

that it wasn't

really, really wrong,

when you know what you did

was wrong because you did it!

Please forgive me

for being a puppet,

instead of a real boy

for my papa.

l miss my daddy, too.

You know,

it is possible...

for you to become a real boy.

How?

All you need is a miracle.

What's a miracle?

A miracle is--

Miracles make your dreams

come true,

and you could buy one...

with enough of these.

Look... l have four more.

Very good.

Will you people be quiet!

Unfortunately,

you're just a little short.

But you might have enough if...

lf what?

lf you planted them

and let them grow.

Where?

Why, in the field of miracles,

of course.

The field of miracles.

Faster.

Found the perfect spot.

Stop. That's deep enough.

Now cover the hole

and let it cook.

For one hour.

Exactly.

Just keep going this way.

Leona, please, don't tell me

about the forest.

l've been coming out here with

my brother, Enzio--

may he rest in peace--

since l was a little boy.

Stop.

He was here.

Maybe he's not far off.

Now you stand here

and watch that clock.

The big hand will go

all the way around...

and come back to the top,

and that's an hour.

Got it?

Got it.

@ Our souls are like

a cup of cappuccino

@ Strong and dark

@ Strong and dark

Out of the woods, huh?

What are you doing now?

Watching the clock.

Why?

So l can buy a miracle.

Any particular brand?

Real Boy brand.
