How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Pinocchio.
Quote #4
JIMINY: But even though the right things may seem wrong sometimes, sometimes the wrong things may be right at the wrong time, or vice versa. Understand?
From the get-go, Jiminy has some trouble with his new duties as an Official Conscience. Just look at this passage: he gets so caught up trying to explain the subjective nature of morality that he completely loses his train of thought.
Quote #5
JIMINY: Fine conscience I turned out to be. Late the first day.
See what we mean? It'd be hard enough for Pinocchio to stay true with Jiminy at his side, but it's pretty much a lost cause without his favorite bug.
Quote #6
THE BLUE FAIRY: You see, Pinocchio, a lie keeps growing and growing until it's as plain as the nose on your face.
The Blue Fairy might be a little heavy-handed in her use of visual metaphors (a bird's nest, really?), but it's the only way she's going to get through to our block-headed protagonist. And that's the first time we've ever used the word "block-headed" literally.
