Pinocchio Page #4

Look, Giddy, a man of letters.

- Here's your book.

- I'm going to school.

School. Ah, yes.

Then you haven't heard of

the easy road to success.

- Uh-uh.

- No?

I'm speaking, my boy,

of the theatre.

Here's your apple.

Bright lights, music,

applause, fame!

- Fame?

- Yes!

And with that personality,

that profile, that physique,

why, he's a natural born

actor, eh, Giddy?

- But I'm going--

- Straight to the top.

Why, I can see your name

in lights, lights six feet high.

- Uh-- What is your name?

- Pinocchio.

Pinocchio! P-I-N-- Eh, uh--

U-O-- Eh, P-I-- Eh--

We're wasting precious time.

Come, on to the theatre.
