Todd Porter: Pinocchio

Quotes 

• Pinocchio : Gee, do you really know how to bring Julietta to life?

  Cat : Not really, but...

  Fox : [cutting her off]  Yes. Use a secret medicine called... Essence of... Back-to-life-odine.

  Pinocchio : I don't know if I can find that.

  Cat : I don't know if I can pronounce it.

• Pinocchio : Who are you?

  Maestro Fire-Eater : Maestro Fire-Eater, Master of Marionettes. My card.

  Pinocchio : But there's nothing on this card.

  Maestro Fire-Eater : That's okay. You can't read anyway.

• Cricket : You're a mess, kid. You're breaking your papa's heart. You'll end up in the poorhouse or jail. Take it from me, kid, and start changing your ways.

  Pinocchio : And how will I do that, sir?

  Cricket : Put those school books of yours to good use.

  Pinocchio : Okay, how's this?

  [throws a book at the cricket] 

• Pinocchio : Lady Azura, can you see into the future? Will I always be this way?

  Lady Azura : You will try to be a good boy, but it will not be easy. You will be let astray again, but that is life. All of us stray at times. Yes, my little one, there will be other misadventures, and you will think all is lost, but remember what this Christmas has taught you, and you will not stray too far. Then, someday, long from now...

  Pinocchio : What?

  Lady Azura : Even I cannot promise miracles. If it happens, you will know.

  Geppetto : Oh, but all of that is in the future, but for now, let's live one day at a time, and what better day to start than today? To Christmas!

• Pinocchio : Are you sure that's what I should do?

  Cat : He's your friend, Pinocchio. Would he leave you astray?

  Pinocchio : I guess not.

  Fox : May lightning...

  [the cat flips out and leaps into a nearby trashcan] 

  Fox : Ehh... Cancel that order.

• Sleigh Driver : Soon, we'll be at the North Pole, where Santa will laugh, "Ha, ha, ha!"

  Pinocchio : You mean "Ho, ho, ho!"

• Pinocchio : A Christmas toast.

  Cricket : With oatmeal?

  Pinocchio : To all of us on Christmas. May we never change.

  Geppetto : Especially you. Knock on wood.

• Pinocchio : You oughta be ashamed of yourself.

  The Duke : Here now. Christmas presents do not talk back to nobility.

  Pinocchio : Do you think it's what a present costs that counts?

  The Duke : I should have gotten a nice, polite choo-choo train.

• Pinocchio : Now I have something to speak with.

  Geppetto : Well, of course. Nobody can talk without a mouth. What? Who are you?

  Pinocchio : Pinocchio.

  Geppetto : Oh, Pinocchio. Well, no wonder. Wait, a stick of wood does not have a name.

  Pinocchio : I'm no longer a stick of wood. I'm a marionette.

  Geppetto : Well, not until I carve the rest of you. What's wrong with me? I'd better stop.

  Pinocchio : Finish me! Finish me!

  Geppetto : Yes, of course. I'll figure it out later.

• Pinocchio : How can a silly puppet help Santa?

  Cat : You can teach the other toys how to dance.

  Fox : Will you be quiet?

  [to Pinocchio] 

  Fox : You can teach the other toys how to dance.

• Pinocchio : I will try to be a good boy, but I have a feeling it's not going to be easy.
