Geppetto Quotes in Pinocchio (1940)

Geppetto: Say hello to Figaro.

Pinocchio: Hello to Figaro.

Geppetto: [waking up to a loud crashing noise] Who's there?

Pinocchio: It's me.

Geppetto: [relieved] Oh, it's me.

[starts to lie back down, then suddenly sits up boltright]

Geppetto: Huh? Shhh! Figaro, there's somebody in here!

Geppetto: Now close your eyes and go to sleep.

Pinocchio: Why?

Geppetto: Everybody has to sleep. Figaro goes to sleep - and Cleo - and besides, tomorrow, you've got to go to school.

Pinocchio: Why?

Geppetto: Oh, to learn things and get smart.

Pinocchio: Why?

Geppetto: [starts to fall asleep] Because.

Pinocchio: Oh.

Pinocchio: [having been 'fished' up into the boat by Geppetto] Hey, Father! Father!

Geppetto: Don't bother me now, Pinocchio!

[then he realizes]

Geppetto: What? Pinocchio?

Pinocchio: Father!

Geppetto: Pinocchio!

Pinocchio: Father, whatcha crying for?

[Geppetto hears him, but his mind doesn't get the message]

Geppetto: Because... you're dead, Pinocchio.

Pinocchio: No! No, I'm not.

Geppetto: Yes. Yes, you are. Now, lie down...

Pinocchio: But father, I'm alive. See?

[Looks at himself]

Pinocchio: And... and I'm... I'm real. I'm a real boy!

[THAT makes Geppetto look up]

Geppetto: You're alive! And... and you are a real boy!

Geppetto: [Inside Monstro the whale] Get out? Oh, no, no, son. I have tried every way. Why, I even built a raft.

Pinocchio: [noticing it] A raft? That's it! We'll take the raft. And when the whale opens his mouth...

Geppetto: No, no, no, no. Now listen, son. He only opens his mouth when he's eating. Then everything comes in; nothing goes out.

Pinocchio: Oh.

Geppetto: It's hopeless, Pinocchio. Come, we'll make a nice fire and we cook some of the fish.

Pinocchio: A fire? That's it!

Geppetto: Yes, and then we'll all eat again.

Pinocchio: A great big fire; lots of smoke!

Geppetto: Smoke? Oh, yes, sure. Smoked fish will taste good.

Pinocchio: Quick, some wood!

[grabs some pieces of wood and a wooden chair and places the wood in Geppetto's arms]

Geppetto: Pinocchio, not the chair!

Geppetto: Hurry, Father, more wood!

[smashes the chair over a wooden barrel while Geppetto adds the wood pieces]

Geppetto: But what'll we sit on?

Pinocchio: We won't need it. We're getting out!

[Grabs a lit lantern and smashes it over the pile of wood, causing a fire to start. He then adds a blanket to create smoke then promptly starts blowing and fanning on the smoke to force it up. The smoke curls upward toward the top of Monstro]

Geppetto: Getting out? But how?

Pinocchio: We'll make him sneeze!

Geppetto: Make him sneeze? Oh, that will make him mad!

Geppetto: Now, I've got just the name for you: Pinocchio! Do you like it, Figaro?

[Figaro shakes his head]

Geppetto: No? You do, don't you, Cleo?

[Cleo shakes her head]

Geppetto: Well, we'll leave it to little wooden head. You like it?

[pulls on string to make Pinocchio's head nod "yes"]

Geppetto: Ha-ha, that settles it! Pinocchio it is!

Geppetto: Oh, Pinocchio! How did you get down here?

Pinocchio: I fell down.

Geppetto: Oh, you did... Oh! You are talking!

Pinocchio: Uh-huh.

Geppetto: No! No. no, no!

Pinocchio: Yes, and I can move too.

Geppetto: No, no, you can't! I'm dreaming in my sleep! Oh, wake me up! Wake me up!

[pours a pitcher of water over his head]

Geppetto: Now we see who's dreaming. Go on, say something.

Pinocchio: ...Gee, you're funny. Do it again!

Geppetto: You *do* talk!

Pinocchio: Yes! The Blue Fairy came.

Geppetto: The Blue Fairy?

Pinocchio: Uh-huh, and I got a conscience.

Geppetto: A conscience?

[Jiminy proudly points to himself]

Pinocchio: And someday, I'm gonna be a real boy!

Geppetto: A real boy! It's my wish! It's come true!

Geppetto: Now just be yourself at school. School bag. And listen to what your teacher says.

[the robot arm puts the backpack on Pinocchio]

Spencer: Calm down doc. Now remember chew your food ten times before you speak.

Pinocchio: But robots don't eat.

Geppetto: Don't mix them up with your sayings Spencer. Doesn't my son look good?

[Geppetto hugs Pinocchio]

Spencer: Say cheese.

[Spencer takes the picture with his digital camera eye]

Geppetto: Hurry you're going to be late.

[They walk out the front door outside]

Pinocchio: Bye dad.
