Quote context

[...]

- But, Pinoke! I tell you, your nose is branching out like a tree.

- And how did you escape?

- I didn't. They chopped me up into firewood!

- Oh! Oh, look! My nose! What's happened?

- Looks like a plum tree to me.

- Perhaps you haven't been telling the truth, Pinocchio.

- Perhaps?

- Oh, but I have. Every single word!

- Oh! Oh! Please, please help me. I'm awfully sorry.

- You see, Pinocchio, a lie keeps growing and growing until it's as plain as the nose on your face.

- She's right, Pinoke. You better come clean.

- I'll never lie again... honest, I won't.

- Please, Your Honor... I mean, Miss Fairy. Give him another chance... for my sake, will ya? Huh?

- I'll forgive you this once, but remember, Pinocchio, a boy who won't be good might just as well be made of wood.
