GEPPETTO
(in disbelief)
You make children?!

BUONRAGAZZO
Not just any children.
(lowering his voice to a whisper)
Perfect children. We used to have them the old fashioned way, but it was too unpredictable.

MARIA
People had boys when they wanted girls.

BERNARDO
Children would misbehave. Break things.

BUONRAGAZZO
(pointedly)
Sometimes, they would even run away.

(MARIA and BERNARDO gasp!)

This way, there is nothing left to chance!
(calling)
Junior!

(JUNIOR flips some switches.)

JUNIOR
Ready to go! We just need the last two inputs.

(BUONRAGAZZO turns to MARIA and BERNARDO.)

BUONRAGAZZO
Okay. Have you made your final decision?

MARIA
We ve really agonized. But... we were thinking blonde.

BUONRAGAZZO
Blonde, molto stupendo. And eyes?

BERNARDO
(clasping MARIA s hands)
Blue.

BUONRAGAZZO
Benissimo! A classic combination. One blue-eyed blonde coming right up.
