  • [Geppetto hears him, but his mind doesn't get the message]

  • Geppetto: [Inside Monstro the whale] Get out? Oh, no, no, son. I have tried every way. Why, I even built a raft.
  • Pinocchio: [noticing it] A raft? That's it! We'll take the raft. And when the whale opens his mouth...
  • Geppetto: No, no, no, no. Now listen, son. He only opens his mouth when he's eating. Then everything comes in; nothing goes out.
  • Pinocchio: Oh.
  • Geppetto: It's hopeless, Pinocchio. Come, we'll make a nice fire and we cook some of the fish.
  • Pinocchio: A fire? That's it!

  • Pinocchio: We'll make him sneeze!
  • Geppetto: Make him sneeze? Oh, that will make him mad!
  • Geppetto: Now close your eyes and go to sleep.
