PINOCCHIO
Hi, Conscience! Where's Angelina? Hey! You shoulda told me she was a girl!
GIUSEPPE
It's my friend, Mr. Log!
PINOCCHIO
Nope. Not Mr. Log! My name is Pinocchio!
GIUSEPPE
Pinocchio!
PINOCCHIO
Yeah. My father gave me that name just this morning.
GIUSEPPE
And who might your father be?
PINOCCHIO
He might be Master Gepetto.
GIUSEPPE
And where is he now?
ALIDORO LISTENS TO THIS ENTIRE CONVERSATION, AND GENERALLY DISAGREES IN DOG MURMURS WITH EVERYTHING GIUSEPPE COMES UP WITH...ALSO, HIS VOICE OVER CONTINUES AS THE SCENE PROGRESSES...
ALIDORO'S VOICE
For some reason, I don't trust this guy...
PINOCCHIO
He went inside to get his winter's coat. He sold it to get me these five gold pieces to buy a spelling book so that I can go to school and work hard to learn the toy business.
GIUSEPPE
Work!
PINOCCHIO
Yeah, I said the same thing. Why is that? Is there something about work I wouldn't like?
GIUSEPPE
Why, there's nothing about work that you WOULD like! Work is painful and tiresome and boring...
ALIDORO'S VOICE
At least he got that right.
GIUSEPPE
Wouldn't you rather use your money to do something nice for your father?
PINOCCHIO
Something nice?
GIUSEPPE
Yes! Wouldn't you like to take your money and make it grow and grow so that you and your father can live in comfort for the rest of your lives?
PINOCCHIO
Oh, yes! How do I do that?
GIUSEPPE
Have you ever heard of the Field of Miracles?
PINOCCHIO
What?
GIUSEPPE
It's a wonderful, mysterious place not far from here. All you have to do is let me take your money to the Field of Miracles where I'll dig a little hole, drop your money in it, wait overnight, and then, when the sun comes up, your five gold pieces could be ten gold pieces!
ALIDORO'S VOICE
He must think you're a real dummy.
PINOCCHIO
Ten gold pieces!
GIUSEPPE
Or twenty! Or a hundred! Or a thousand! You never know how many times the Field of Miracles will multiply your riches!
ALIDORO'S VOICE
Oh, c'mon, Pinoke, don't listen to him!
