Post by bunniefuu »

ready

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

even though Pinocchio had not yet become

a real boy that didn't stop him from

feeling like one

I can't go out and play because of this

stupid rain it isn't fair

there's some old man out there I wonder

who he could be

that's funny one of his legs is made of

wood just like mine

[Applause]

may I help you you don't recognize me or

old friend should I who is it father

well I guess it has been a long time

oh

Jonathan is that you my word

what's left of me it's been 35 years

since we've seen one another so I said

to myself Jonathan you got to go back to

your old friendship you're a sight for

sore eyes come sit yourself down at the

table thank you don't mind if I do what

in blazes happen to your leg great white

took a clean off a few years back then

you've come to the right place hang your

hat here for a spell make yourself at

home and allow all Geppetto to take care

of you that's most kinds of petal you're

still the same good-hearted Village you

always to me and just as poor as I used

to be I guess some things never change

hey I'm going to fix us up a pot of tea

mind if I play with this hey Pinocchio

what's wrong with you that crutch is

very important it's not a toy to be

played with

Pinocchio did you hear me put that down

this instant Pinocchio come back here

thank you

you're making fun of someone's

disability Pinocchio yep because his

disability is funny

[Music]

now see what you've done

Pinocchio

pajamas and I think I'm sorry I don't

know what to say I can only apologize

for the boy and trust you can forgive

him well it's very hard for someone

especially a youngster like that to

understand what it means to have a

disability so just your anesthesia I

don't hold it against him but the boy

must learn to be more sensitive to

others

I'll mend this for you good as you

always wear a skillful Craftsman you

could win the way you manage to make

that wooden doll so life like it's a

wonder yes but at times like these I

wonder whether I should have made him at

all

it's over it stopped raining

all right hey wait for me let's go

fishing

[Applause]

[Music]

Pinocchio what are you doing what is

that some kind of fish I guess

hey you sure were right that's some kind

of thing

foreign

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

Jonathan is very old he knows more about

life than anyone I've ever met Frank so

what about this Pawn tell me

under there near the volcano it was the

volcano that created the pond many long

years ago when it erupted I came spewing

out and down the mountain to the Sea

wall School up there the eruption had

caused an underground spring to open

into the hole and fill her up with water

but not just ordinary water mind you

know sir the Phantom spring feeds magic

into that pond that makes anything in it

grow twice as big as normal so I'll

guaranteer the fish that just got away

from you boys was from that pond maybe

it would make me grow

it was impossible for Pinocchio to fall

asleep that night he had it in his head

that the Phantom spring could do better

than answer his dream of becoming a real

boy it could turn him into a grown man

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

Pinocchio hey Pinocchio wait for us we

want to go too

yeah we're ready I even borrowed my

dad's fishing net that's where you're

planning to go right you're going to

Phantom spring yeah if the fish up there

are like the one we saw yesterday you're

gonna need us yeah and with this net

here we'll be able to catch some real

Whoppers yeah but I'm not going there to

fish well we're going fishing with or

without you so we might as well go up

together

[Music]

thank you

[Music]

wow it's kind of spooky up here if you

ask me

look over there I bet you that's the

pawn fed by the Phantom spring

It's gotta be it's beautiful beautiful

and mysterious what I want to know is

where the fish

there there they are friends oh wow just

look at the size of them this means old

Jonathan's story was true what it means

is that I'm gonna catch some fish

I'll do it

[Music]

try to catch some fish all right here

there

this fish we'll be real heroes right no

wooden doll

[Music]

as always Geppetto seemed to sense when

Pinocchio was in trouble

Pinocchio my dear boy I'm so worried

about you I know you run off and gotten

yourself into danger

[Music]

I know father will be worried about me I

just gotta find my way home I'm feeling

so strange

[Music]

promise me

I wonder I wonder if that was him

Pinocchio

my legs feel waterlogged I must have

stayed in that pond too long

[Music]

to me

[Music]

I'm growing branches

that's not what I wanted at all I wanted

to be a grown-up person oh please help

please Somebody's gotta help you just

never learned do you how many times have

I told you you can only become a real

person from the inside now all you've

managed to become is a real tree

laughs

no what'll happen to you now you're

gonna keep growing branches and

somebody's gonna come along and make you

their pet plants all the time

[Music]

they shouldn't have passed on all those

old stories now the boys think they're

true maybe they are Franco and Gino came

back with a very large fish yes strange

enough then then they caused quite a

Ruckus so they proceeded to eat the

whole thing themselves

they're selfish boys I'm more concerned

about Pinocchio he's missing

[Music]

I'm trapped in the woods please help

come

come

don't be afraid sir I'm a wooden doll my

name is Pinocchio

a dog

you look like one of them at that what

happened to you well my legs grow roots

when I fell into the magic Pond I hope

I'm not dreaming

a tree that speaks like a boy

[Music]

Pinocchio but instead of helping

Pinocchio The Woodsman planted him in a

pot and sold him to Mr King what a

curious specimen it looks like a tree in

yet it speaks like a human being I

presume if he can speak he can also sing

a song hmm

I believe I'll give a dinner party

tonight this will be the entertainment

make all the necessary preparations yes

sir

[Laughter]

[Music]

go ahead sing a song will you let me go

if I do if you don't I'll turn you into

kindling

hello

[Laughter]

[Music]

I'm Pinocchio just a wooden doll but a

boy is what I dream of becoming

is someone out there would only answer

my prayer I swear and I promise to do as

I'm told and I'll always act kindly

towards both young and old each and

every day I bring my father Joy If I

Only Could Be A you boy

[Music]

[Applause]

giddy up there

goodbye thank you it was a lovely

evening

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

I only went to the pond hoping the water

would turn me into a grown-up maybe this

will help you to see that becoming an

adult is not something you can

accomplish through magic ponds looking

grown up doesn't mean that you have a

grown up heart it's how you develop

inside that counts Pinocchio yes you're

right I promise I'll never do it again

now could you turn me back into what I

was so I can go home

it's not that simple before you can be

returned to your original form you must

prove you're deserving by performing an

act of unselfish Purity help me can't

you see I'm trapped in this pot you'll

find a way have faith no k*ll

[Applause]

hey did you hear about Mr James singing

plant caused quite a stewardess party

yeah it's all damn I wonder if it's a

trick of some kind excuse me gentlemen

wondering could you tell me about the

singing plan people saw it said it's

like a doll with branches are you sure

far-off country where they're gonna work
