The Adventures of Pinocchio1996

Geppetto:
(He is fixing Pinocchio) There, that didn't hurt, did it?

Pinocchio:
Nah. Didn't hurt.

(Lorenzini knocks hard on the door)

Geppetto:
Now what can he want?

Lorenzini:
Open up!

Geppetto:
No good can come of this.

Lorenzini:
Geppetto, open up!

Geppetto:
(grabs Pinocchio) Stay there and be quiet! (Pinocchio looks round and sees other puppets sitting there; gasps) Don't even breathe! (To Lorenzini) Signore Lorenzini, what can you want?

Lorenzini:
The honor is mine to call again, my good man.

Geppetto:
You see Lorenzini, I have been spending a lot of time in the forest lately, perhaps I can carve you something grand... at the first chance I've got.

Lorenzini:
I have heard rumors. I bring good news, Geppetto. I am making my grandest production ever, and I am going to purchase... Your newest creation. Whatever it may be. Heh.

Gepetto:
(holds up two puppets) These puppets are made, from the finest cherry wood. You can have these.

Lorenzini:
(snarls) Don't toy with me, Geppetto. I would not buy those puppets from you two years ago, and I will not buy them today. So show me your best, and show me NOW!

(Pinocchio falls off his perch)

Pinocchio:
Oooh! (Runs at Lorenzini and ducks under his legs) Excuse me, coming through!

Lorenzini:
He is perfect... (Catches a fly) Stay! (Opens his glove, revealing the fly standing on his palm) Boys do like bugs.

Pinocchio:
Bugs?

Lorenzini:
They like to tease them, and twist them...and...

Gepetto:
Please, Lorenzini!

Lorenzini:
Ssssssh.

Pinocchio:
(Imitating) Sssshh...

Lorenzini:
He is magnificent. Name your price.
