I'm possibly more or less not definitely rejecting the idea that in no way with any amount of uncertainty that I undeniably::Prince Charming: Stop it!::Pinocchio: ...do or do not know where he shouldn't probably be, if that indeed wasn't where he isn't. Even if he wasn't at where I knew he was::[Pigs and Gingerbread Man begin singing]::Pinocchio: That'd mean I'd really have to know where he wasn't.

Quotes:

Major Motoko Kusanagi: I mean, have you ever actually seen your brain?

Major Motoko Kusanagi, Puppet Master: And where does the newborn go from here? The net is vast and infinite.

Puppet Master: I refer to myself as an intelligent life form because I am sentient and I am able to recognize my own existence, but in my present state I am still incomplete. I lack the most basic processes inherent in all living organisms: reproducing and dying.::Major Motoko Kusanagi: But you can copy yourself.::Puppet Master: A copy is just an identical image. There is the possibility that a single virus could destroy an entire set of systems and copies do not give rise to variety and originality. Life perpetuates itself through diversity and this includes the ability to sacrifice itself when necessary. Cells repeat the process of degeneration and regeneration until one day they die, obliterating an entire set of memory and information. Only genes remain. Why continually repeat this cycle? Simply to survive by avoiding the weaknesses of an unchanging system.

Major Motoko Kusanagi: You talk about redefining my identity. I want a guarantee that I can still be myself.::Puppet Master: There isn't one. Why would you wish to? All things change in a dynamic environment. Your effort to remain what you are is what limits you.

BatÙ: [on radio] So what's the latest word on your "Puppet Master"?::BatÙ: [pause as the chief watches the witness on monitor] Chief? Are you there? Come in...::Section 9 Department Chief Aramaki: He's only a puppet himself...

Puppet Master: It can also be argued that DNA is nothing more than a program designed to preserve itself. Life has become more complex in the overwhelming sea of information. And life, when organized into species, relies upon genes to be its memory system. So, man is an individual only because of his intangible memory... and memory cannot be defined, but it defines mankind. The advent of computers, and the subsequent accumulation of incalculable data has given rise to a new system of memory and thought parallel to your own. Humanity has underestimated the consequences of computerization.

Major Motoko Kusanagi, Puppet Master: When I was a child, my speech, feelings, and thinking were all those of a child. Now that I am a man, I have no more use for childish ways.

Major Motoko Kusanagi: If we all reacted the same way, we'd be predictable, and there's always more than one way to view a situation. What's true for the group is also true for the individual. It's simple: Overspecialize, and you breed in weakness. It's slow death.

Major Motoko Kusanagi: If a technological feat is possible, man will do it. Almost as if it's wired into the core of our being.

BatÙ: There's nothing sadder than a puppet without a ghost, especially the kind with red blood running through them.

Quotes:

Blue Fairy: Don't be afraid, Pinocchio. I haven't forgotten you.

Fox: My boy, Pinocchio! Come here, hurry!::Fox: [to the cat] It's old Wood-legs.::Pinocchio: Oh boy, you two must have done something really bad.::Fox: Oh, no, no, no! Not we! Of course we did nothing wrong! Why, they picked up the wrong fellows.::Cat: Yeah. Now, how about you tell that nice policeman that you like, know us, Pinocchio, buddy? Maybe he'll let us... scram.::Policeman: Right! What's all this then, you know these two?::Pinocchio: Yeah. Yes, I do.::Policeman: And how is it that a nice hardworking kid like you would know a couple of bums like these two?::Pinocchio: Well, I...::Pinocchio: [to the fox and the cat] Do you want me to tell the truth?::Fox: Oh yes! Always tell the truth, Pinocchio.::Cat: Oh yeah, the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, little buddy.::Pinocchio: [looks at Cricket, who nods] These two took my money!::Policeman: That's what I figured. Well boys, that's gonna add a little more time to your sentence.::Policeman: [to his horses] Aye, giddy up there!::Fox: Urgh, not that truth, you little wooden-headed netwit!::Cat: Oh, no, no, no, man. The other truth, tell him the other truth.::Cat: [to the fox] Hey, hey! Give me a little clue here. What was that other truth?

Swallow: Pinocchio, the Blue Fairy is very sick. I'm afraid... she's dying.::Pinocchio: Where is she?::Swallow: Oh, a long way from here. She saw you get swallowed by the whale and she thought you were gone forever. I'm afraid it broke her heart.::Pinocchio: [handing out some coins] Here, take these. It's not very much but it's all that I have.::Swallow: Ooh, thank you, Pinocchio. The Blue Fairy won't forget you for this.

Ring Master: Your skin is the only thing of value to me now, so try not to jump out of it on the way down.

Geppetto: Oh! Oh, no. I... I haven't given him a name. How can I call to him when it doesn't even have a name?

Candlewick: So, Pinoc, what d'ya think? What say we take a few more spins around, huh?::Pinocchio: No, I think a hundred turns on the Ferris Wheel is enough.::Candlewick: Who-hohoho, this is fun. Ya hungry?::Pinocchio: [about to be sick] Not really.::Candlewick: Aw, that'll change when you get those little wooden feet on the ground.

Candlewick: Hey, let's head for the free food. Everything has sugar and nothing is good for ya!

Talking Cricket: Oh, I hate heights.

Pinocchio: I really will go straight to school tomorrow and I'll be good.::Blue Fairy: Sshh. Just rest now, Pinocchio. Little boys need to get a good night's sleep.::Pinocchio: But I'm not a real little boy.::Blue Fairy: No, not yet, but you could be someday. If you don't lie and if you think of others first and if you listen to your father.::Pinocchio: Papa! I have to tell him where I am!::Blue Fairy: Shoosh, it's alright, Pinocchio. A messenger has already gone to tell your papa where you are.::Pinocchio: Ah, tomorrow... I get to see my papa tomorrow.
