The Adventures of Pinocchio Page #4

---

Here's how it works--

You dig a hole, you plant

your gold, you let it cook--

The first lesson about trust

is learning whom to trust.

Didn't this gold deal

seem a little shaky?

l don't know.

A little.

And let me guess...

you ignored your instincts.

- Didn't you?

- Maybe.

You just don't give maybe to the

president of the Cricket Union.

Now, let's say we regroup

and talk about your papa.

Or l'll be falling down

on the job.

Look, my papa wants me

to be a real boy.

l'm staying right here

and waiting for my miracle.

Your papa want you,

no matter what you're made of.

Be a loving son,

and the real boy stuff

will take care of itself.

So remember,

you heard it here first.

Miracles don't grow on trees.

Miracles are made in the heart.

Stupid me!

Miracles don't grow on trees.

Miracles don't grow on trees.

Hey, Woody!

Stop!

Come on. Come with us.

We're going to

the greatest place.

lt's great. There's no school.

No rules.

You can do whatever you want.

And it's just for boys.

Just for boys?

Yep. Real boys.

Look. Look. There he is.

Where? l don't see him.

l'm sure.

l'm going to be a real boy!

Hey, Woody,

watch out for your hat.

Welcome to the Terra Magica!

New boys.

[ Skipped item nr. 770 ]

Wait a minute.

l thought there were--

l forgot the biggest rule

of them all!

There are no rules.

That's more like it!

[ Skipped item nr. 775 ]

[ Skipped item nr. 776 ]

He's out there.

Not necessarily.

What do you think this is?

lt's his hat,

the one l gave to him.

l'm going to go find him.

Now wait one minute.

You're going to kill youself

for one of your puppets?

He's my son.

l've already let one great love

slip through my fingers.

l don't want it to happen again.

You've never been in a boat

in your life.

You can't even swim.

l can row.

But, Geppetto...

you may never come back.

ln that case,

l'll tell you why...

you should never

have married my brother.

Why?

Because you should have

married me!

The day l carved that heart

in the tree,

you accepted

my brother's proposal.

25 years you take to tell me,

and l'm supposed to wait?

You're too late.

l'm not waiting!

This is foul.

Foul?

Come on, Woody,

you're missing all the fun!

Hey, your turn, Woody!

Rather cruel of you to shoot

my cousins into outer space.

All l'm doing

is having a little fun.

Fun? Your idea of fun...

puts my antenna

way out of whack,

and what about your papa,

since you brought him up?

l didn't bring him up.

Precisely my point!

You know he wouldn't want you

acting like ajackass,

and if you act like one,

you'll become one!

This is how you light it,

Woody.

Taht's it.

l can't go on a trip.

l forgot to go to the bathroom!

Act like ajackass,

if you have the nerve.

Drink up the water.

Get what you deserve.

Be wicked, be naughty.

Come drink from my fountain,

then l will be rich--

king of the mountain.

Let mr try.

Nice shooting.

Look. No, look...

l'll show you how.

No!

Sorry.

That's my gun.

No, it's mine, Lampshade.

Nobody calls me Lampshade.

You give me the gun.

Nice shot.

Hey...

l can see right through him.

What's all this?

He sarted it.

You liar.

Stop! Let's settle this.

Tokens for

the ride of your life.

You have all earned it.

For you...

and you.

Hey, swiss cheese,

we're going on the big one.

Me, too.

Sell these jackasses

to the circus...

and at the market--

20,000 lira each--

then skin one...

for a new pair of boots.

We're going on

the big one, Woody.

The big one.

Here we go.

Aw, yeah.

Coming through!

l'm a real boy.

l'm a real boy.

Come on! Whoa! Faster!

All right!

Hey, Woody, you're leaking!

l guess some guys

just can't hold their water.

Faster!

What's wrong with you?

l don't know.

l don't feel so good.

You don't

look so good, either.

Where'd you get that?

Here's another batch, signor.

Corral them.

l don't want to be ajackass.

l don't want to be ajackass.

Don't panic, Pinocchio.

Keep your wits.

Please, Pepe,

get me out of here.

You can do it. Be brave.

Don't let fear tie you up.

Yikes!

One of them didn't

drink their water, signor!

- Catch him!

- He's gone.

Don't let him get away!

Go and find him!

There...behind the donkey.

Calm these donkeys!

Of course, signore.

Go. Go. Go.

Come on. Go.

Run!

Get him!

l will break you

into firewood...

puppet!

Come here. Over here.

No, this is all wrong.

You got to believe me.

Look, they're

trying to trick you.

They wants us

to behave badly.

Don't go on the ride. Please!

We've been acting

like jackasses,

so that's what we turn into.

Well, well, well...

Here l provide you with the most

wonderful place to frolic,

and this is the thanks l get?

You steal my donkeys?

They're not your donkeys.

This one's Lampwick.

Pinocchio, a good boy does not

go around spreading lies.

lt's not a lie.

My nose grows when l lie.

Come on, boys. Take the ride.

Drink the water.

No, don't!

Be yourselves!

Lampwick...

Go on.

He's turning into a monster.

Look at his face.

Lorenzini's turned

into a monster.

Lorenzini was a monster.

He was a monster

and got what he deserved.

Jackasses!

l'm going home.

Thanks, Pinocchio.

Home home home home!

l don't care if l never

become a real boy anymore.

l just want

to get home to my papa.

There you are.

l knew you didn't go out to sea.

Where have you been?

We were so worried,

and look at you.

Have you eaten?

You're so skinny.

Where is my papa?

He's out there somewhere,

looking for you.

Wait, Pinocchio!

lt's too dangerous.

lf you think

l'm going to wait...

for both of you--

You don't even know how to swim.

l'm not scared.

l'm not scared.

l smell seaweed.

Are--are we at the beach?

Pepe, l thought you left me.

Ahoy, captain.

Where are we now?

Boy, you sure get

into a let of trouble.

You know,

it smells an awful lot...

like rotten

chili peppers in here.

Lorenzini, he must be

the sea monster.

OK. Fine. Enjoy yourself.

l'm playing

cricket this afternoon.

Hey, l'm a clamophobic.

Quiet.

We're in this together, now.

But--but--but l'm

afraid of the dark.

Papa!

Oh, sure, like he's

just around the corner.

He might be.

Oh, you two had plans

to meet here for dinner?

- Quiet.

- Sorry.

Excuse me.

Coming through.

lf only it were true.

Where were you?

Let's try to find

a way out of here.

Come.

lt smells like

rotten chili peppers in here.

The throat.

hold on.

Pinocchio, hold on.

Go, Pinocchio.

Not without you.

Go, l said.

No. Push it open.

l can't get through there.

Now, do as l say!

l hate you, Papa.

What?

l never, ever missed you.

That's a lie.

l wish l never found you.

l never wanted to be your son.

l want to stay a puppet.

Lies, all lies.

Don'tjudge my cooking

by this, OK?

Are you OK, Papa?

Wake up.

Forgive me, Pinocchio...

for doubting my heart

and letting you go.

l'm sorry, too, Papa.

l'm sorry for not...

for not being a rea boy.

But you're real to me,

my son.

Real to me.

Oh, l love you.
