[Music]

me from a dream

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

the school bell rings it's three o'clock

another school day has passed for

Pinocchio but little does he know that a

joyful afternoon will eventually bring

tragedy and larger lessons to be learned

have a nice trip wooden head

hey what's the matter with you can't get

up wooden head

[Music]

you know I have a father Taco his name

is Geppetto how can

[Music]

he is my father

[Music]

would you get for hurting my feelings

let's get out of here

[Music]

he can't swim huh oh no

[Music]

Jocko's schoolmates watched and shouted

helplessly as they couldn't swim either

Pinocchio decide to save him

served him right

oh well Pinocchio aren't you going to

try to save him no why should I

why should you come on how would you

like to be in his shoes right now

Pinocchio

[Music]

I could explain that bravery is a very

human trait and by displaying bravery

Pinocchio just might turn his enemies

into friends

Brave as he'd become Pinocchio forgot

that he'd never learned how to swim

because Japan will made him from a

branch of lightweight wood Pinocchio was

able to stay afloat he paddled valiantly

towards a struggling Jocko would

Pinocchio reach him in time

finally Jaco's last ounce of strength

was spent and he plunged to the bottom

Tokyo followed

but it was too late

Jocko had drowned

[Music]

now you

[Music]

drowned in the river how could you leave

me alone like this Pinocchio looked on

sadly as Jocko's mother wept for her son

[Music]

it wasn't my fault I did what Cricket

told me I tried to save him

[Music]

he started it he and the other kids were

always making fun of me

it's Jocko's own fault that he drowned

in the river

[Music]

Emily we're sorry about Taco is there

anything we can do for you

foreign

[Music]

was setting in the west Geppetto would

be serving dinner right now but

Pinocchio still had not gone home

it wasn't my fault it was an accident no

one knew that the rocks on the bridge

path were loose Pinocchio huh

[Music]

you're right Jocko's drowning wasn't

your fault Pinocchio remember you were

the only one who tried to save him when

no one else dared to sitting here moping

with a guilty conscience isn't going to

bring choco back

guilty conscience huh I don't have a

guilty conscience then why have you been

sitting here with such a droopy head for

so long don't try to put one over on me

Pinocchio you're afraid to go home

because you think Geppetto's gonna blame

you and scold you no leave me alone

even though you keep telling yourself

that the accident wasn't your fault you

really think it was no I don't and I've

heard enough from you there p no use

trying to squash me

Pinocchio wait you're a good boy with a

brave and tender heart remember that

Pinocchio did go home but the next day

he was still moping and brooding

[Music]

what's going on inside that troubled

head of yours Pinocchio

uh cricket I've decided I'm going to

take Jocko's place what take his place

yeah I picked these flowers for Jocko's

mother and I'm gonna go see her today

you wanna be her son do you think you're

going to be able to make her forget

Jocko well I don't think it's gonna be

easy but I'll go to Jocko's mother and

tell her I'll be a better son than Jocko

ever was with a mother I'll be human oh

no you won't only a blockhead would tell

a mother he's better than the son she

just lost quiet will you she's gonna

take me in and that's all there is to it

and don't you get in the way

what a foolish boy he is by reminding

her of Jocko he's only gonna make things

worse

[Laughter]

that's nice dear

the returning school children only

served to deepen Jocko's mother's loss

the now unused school bag and hat

reminded her of how Jocko would come

tearing home from school bursting

through the door to hug her and demand

his milk and cookies

no Jocko

[Music]

don't over exert yourself son you've got

a big day coming up don't worry Mom

Rowan's a snap that may be but all the

same I don't want you to be too tired to

study for that big exam tomorrow

[Music]

oh my God

here

peanut butter and jelly your favorite

oh

choco

that wouldn't be him at the door I'm not

going to bring my son back by

daydreaming

who's knocking

my goodness and who might you be speak

up boy

Mrs Jones I'm the boy who tried to save

Jocko from drowning

um I'm here because I'd like to take

Jocko's place I brought these flowers

for you

you're a Pinocchio aren't you the one

who caused all the trouble no ma'am

I know all about what happened

he wouldn't have lost

fallen into the river now go away from

here pick yourself up and go or else

I'll turn you into firewood how dare you

come to me offering to take joko's place

thank you

cricket was right it was foolish of me

to think for a minute that Jocko's

mother would take me in

huh oh no I'll get soaked well I don't

care I don't care about anything anymore

[Music]

look now it's pouring outside I hate the

rain

even the weather's making fun of me as

if I weren't sad enough already just as

Mrs Jones was about to close the

curtains she noticed a tiny sad figure

sitting on the stoop exposed to the rain

and cold it was Pinocchio

[Music]

he'd been sitting in front of her house

for hours to numb the field of rain and

wind and not caring at his father

Geppetto might be worried hey you don't

you know it after coming out of the rain

[Music]

all Pinocchio could feel with sadness as

his hope of having a mother seem to be

lost forever

[Music]

he's still out there I wonder if he can

catch a cold this

grimer here

huh mother

[Music]

where is Pinocchio how can you stay out

of this weather

[Music]

I'm quick worry

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

oh the sun is out

is hmm he's not there

he must have gone home

maybe what happened to my Jocko was only

an accident

ah

there must be something outside my front

door

Pinocchio

I'm leaving here all night

a strong-minded boy you are

at that moment Emily's former hatred of

Pinocchio turned to sympathy and love

laughs

come Pinocchio my son

the exhausted Pinocchio slept till the

next morning upon Awakening he wasn't

sure where he was

are you awake

it's almost a whole day

you'll need some fresh clothes

chocolate grew this outfit a year ago

but since you're smaller than he was I'm

sure it'll fit you

better because the cat got your tongue

hurry and get dressed or you'll be late

for school

um I uh does this mean I'm gonna be your

son now

really

hey

yay

[Music]

the morning passed quickly when the

lunch bell rang Pinocchio couldn't wait

to see what Mrs Jones had prepared for

him wow this looks wonderful

yeah you can't eat all that why don't

you share your lunch with some of us

Pinocchio you can't taste it anyway yeah

Pinocchio I left my lunch at home today

how about giving me a sandwich no my

mother made this lunch for me and you

can't have it give it here

hey I'll take that

yeah

a thing as simple as a lunch got

Pinocchio and yet another battle with

his schoolmates what would his new

mother think

[Music]

Pinocchio

[Music]

oh my I can imagine what happened in

school you've been fighting I have to

admit my job used to get into fights but

he never once came home with his clothes

alternative

I'm sorry

well as the saying goes boys will be

boys

so did you enjoy the lunch I packed for

you today

that's good now give me the lunch basket

uh there

I got into a fight because the other

boys tried to take away my lunch that's

how the basket got torn Jocko carried

this basket to school ever since

kindergarten you seem to ruin everything

you touch

dinner's ready hot soup

[Music]

I've prepared some of Jaco's favorite

dishes for you doesn't that smell good

[Applause]

now then what do you like on your bread

choco always like peanut butter and

jelly of course no peanut butter for

dinner I'd tell him but you can have

plenty of jelly I always told Jocko to

chew his food well so you do the same

now

what's the matter why are you crying

take this no Pinocchio how dare you

I'm not hungry

I won't stand for this Jocko wouldn't

act like this at the dinner table stop

saying that will you what say

what a chocolate

I'm not him I'm Pinocchio not taco

foreign

angered by Mrs Jones constant comparison

of him to her lost son

as she stood listening to the soothing

Rhythm of the rain she realized that

bringing up Jocko's name so often would

hurt Pinocchio's feelings and make him

angry

the rhythm of the rain had a soothing

effect on Pinocchio as well he realized

a real boy would never treat his mother

that way and that it was very human to

forgive

Mrs Jones I owe you an apology

no you don't Pinocchio I'm the one who

should apologize for bringing up Jocko's

name so often you are my son now

Pinocchio I should only be saying your

name all the friends again

now time for bed good

that Mother's kiss made Pinocchio feel

warm all over but has he forgotten his

father Geppetto

oh why

is Nokia deserted me

this is blanket

I love you father

he's dreaming about his father

[Music]

will dream of that old man to pedo now

that I've taken him in as that thought

lingered in Emily's mind she began to

feel grief again for the loss of a real

son she looked around the living room in

search of everything that would leak

into a fond memory of him I remember

this Jacko Drew this picture of me last

summer

[Music]

I'm just putting the finishing touches

on it

[Music]

great

it looks just like you Mom just like you

I love you

he could have grown up to be a great

artist

oh Jocko my Jocko

Pinocchio

how could you you've been spying on me

you have no right to do that go back to

that this instant Taco again

you know that's what I think of your

taco even though I'm made of wood I hurt

let me tell you about your great son

Jocko he used to pick on me and push me

around every day at school just because

I made a wood well if that big bully is

the kind of boy you loved and I don't

want to take this place and you can live

here all alone with your memories I'm

more human than he ever was

with that Pinocchio storm back out into

the rain leaving Emily speechless and

alone with her memories

thank you

I'll show them I don't need a father or

a mother

as Pinocchio again stood in the rain he

began to have second thoughts about what

he had just done true Jocko was a bully

but in blurting that to Mrs Jones he

probably dashed all hopes of becoming

her son

word spoken in Anger Pinocchio are often

words spoken without thought do you

regret what you said to Mrs Jones no I'm

in every word I said in that case I

strongly advise that you get out of this

pouring rain and return to your father

Geppetto don't you think he's been

worried about you all this time oh oh

I'm so very lonely without you Pinocchio

please come home dear papa

[Music]

I thought I heard something

[Music]

am I hearing things

[Music]

Pinocchio it's a dream come true

the site of Pinocchio running across the

field in front of the backdrop of the

Rising Sun gave New Life to Geppetto

at that moment he didn't need to know

where Pinocchio had been

he only needed to see that his little

boy was coming home

I'm awfully sorry for leaving you alone

father I guess you're mad at me

huh oh no no no no oh really

I'm far too happy to be angry with you

Pinocchio though someday you must tell

me where you've been I promise I'll

never leave you alone again

[Music]

I had no money to buy food you'll have

to do without lunch Pinocchio don't you

worry about it father breakfast will

last me all day

[Music]

goodbye father come home right after

school bye in truth the skimpy breakfast

Geppetto served that morning wouldn't

last Pinocchio all day he was hungry

already

Pinocchio hello Mrs Jones

I was hoping to run into you

your father wasn't angry with you was he

no he was glad I came home I'm sorry I

said those things to you about Jocko

forgive me

here the basket was easy to replace

go ahead take it to school with you huh

I made your lunch and if those big

bullies at school try to take it away

you run right to the teacher oh I will

thank you very much Mrs Jones

we both learned something didn't we I

learned that I'm a Finnish grieving for

jockos that I don't constantly remind

myself of his death and I guess I

learned that I shouldn't have tried to

take Jocko's place

oh

wow thanks a lot mother

sorry that word just slipped out

[Music]

[Music]

that's not to cry anymore I'm sorry but

I can't help it

hey you know what I'm gonna cheer you up

oh come on Mrs Jones you can do it

[Music]
