Pinocchio

lnfantino is a creep.

Hey, fatty!

You're late, dimwit.

Pinocchio, show

yourself right now...

because l'm noot leaving this

house to look for you again.

Would someone please

like to tell us...

of a characteristic

which separates humans...

from the rest of

the animal kingdom?

Cages.

Humans cry tears, professore.

Ah, tears.

Expressions of the soul.

Do any other creatures look

so deeply within themselves?

No, professore. Only humans.

We must always decide

what is right and wrong.

Excellent.

Hey, Woody.

You ever get termites?

What are termites?

They're bugs.

l like bugs.

Not these kind, you don't.

They eat wood like you.

Hey, lay off my friend, Woody.

Lay off my friend, Woody.

What is going on

in my classroom?

The new kid punched Lampwick,

professore.

ls that true?

No

Hey, how'd you do that?

Silence.

Now, you're not lying to me

by any slim chance, are you?

There are two kinds of lies--

lies that have short legs

and lies that have a long nose,

and yours are clearly the kind

that have long nose.

Now, l will give you one

last chance to redeem yourself.

lf you didn't punch Lampwick,

how did he end up on the floor?

Nobody punched Lampwick.

Lampwick punched himself.

l--l mean, a man climed

in the window and punched him.

And Lampwick tried

to kick him back,

but he missed and fell

on the floor, and--

Silence.

lnfantino!

Silence!

lnfantino, go on, go on.

Handkerchief. Go on, quickly.

Run, run, run, run, run!

Right, l did punch Lampwick,

professore,

and l'm sorry

Well, it's too late

for that now.

lf there's one thing

l will not tolerate...

in my classroom, it's a liar.

Out.

And...

l'm sorry that

l kicked him, too.

Out.

And l'm even more sorry

that l told a lie.

Out, out, l said.

But l want to stay and learn.

Now, class, we will review

what we have learned today.

lf anything happened to him,

he's going to be

in big trouble.

lf l don't find him, l'm never

talking to him again.

Pinocchio!

lt's finished.

lsn't it beautiful?

Everything you bake

is beautiful, dear.

You know, l sold it to

the magistrate by the pound,

and the best part is,

l cheated on the weight.

You're very good at that, dear.

lt reminds me of the cake

that we had on our wedding day.

Don't eat that.

- l'm not eating anything.

- Not you!

Look!

Mmm, more?

l'll give you more.

You're a bad boy, huh?

Real bad boy.

Little mischief maker.

Your father's going to

pay for this!

Got him.

Even better.

Pinocchio.

Papa, want some?

Geppetto, he's yours?

Arrest him.

Arrest both of them.

You're under arrest, signore.

Wait.

Papa.

Come on. you, too, little one.

Hey, stop him!

There goes our commission.
