• Geppetto: Now close your eyes and go to sleep.
• Pinocchio : Why?
• Dimitri : Everybody has to sleep, Pinocchio. Your father goes to sleep, Figaro goes to sleep, and Cleo, and Anya and myself.
• Anya : And besides, tomorrow, you've got to go to school.
• Pinocchio : Why?
• Geppetto : Oh, to learn things and get smart.
• Pinocchio : Why?
• Dimitri : No more "Why's?" now Pinocchio, time to go to sleep. Sleep is what helps you to be lively.
• Anya : He's right, Pinocchio. And you'll have fun if you sleep well.
• Pinocchio : OK. Goodnight.
• Anya : Goodnight, Pinocchio.

• Geppetto : Now wait, stay still now.
• Pinocchio : What are those.
• Dimitri : Those kids over there? They're your schoolmates.
• Geppetto : Uh, no-now, get in.
• Pinocchio : Real boys?
• Geppetto: Yes. But hurry now.
• Anya : Not so fast. I've got something for you to give to your teacher
• Pinocchio : What is it?
• Anya : Here's an apple. It's just so your teacher doesn't go hungry at break time.
• Geppetto : Now turn around and let me look you over.
• Anya : You look great, Pinocchio.
• Dimitri : And there's another thing he needs as part of his education. It's a spelling book.
• (Dimitri hands the book to Geppetto)
• Geppetto : Huh? Oh, yes, yes. Here.
• Dimitri : Now remember, No matter what anybody tells you don't meet any strangers just go straight to school. OK? Enjoy your day, Pinocchio.
• Geppetto : Run along now.
• (Figaro tries to follow Pinocchio but is picked up by Geppetto)

• Pinocchio : Goodbye.
• Geppetto : Goodbye son, hurry back.
• Anya : Have a lovely day at school, Pinocchio.
• Pinocchio : I will, Anya.
• Dimitri : And now we can go inside and watch television.
• Anya : Dimitri, we have to show our concern for Pinocchio.
• Dimitri : I know. I just want to watch the news. I'm not saying this is more important than Pinocchio, but it's just in case something strange might happen in our town.
• Anya : Whatever. Oh right, I'll watch it with you. If anything happens to Pinocchio we must be there for him, is that clear?
• Dimitri : It is.
