Quotes
-
Dorothy : How can you talk if you haven't got a brain?
The Scarecrow : I don't know! But some people without brains do an *awful* lot of talking, don't they?
Dorothy : Yes, I guess you're right.
-
Dorothy : Lions, and tigers, and bears! Oh, my!
-
Dorothy : [has just arrived in Oz, looking around and awed at the beauty and splendor] Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas any more.
Dorothy : [after a pause] We must be over the rainbow!
[a bubble appears in the sky and gets closer and closer. It finally lands, then turns into Glinda the Good Witch wearing a spectacular pink dress and crown, holding a wand]
Dorothy : [to Toto] Now I... I know we're not in Kansas!
-
[last lines]
Dorothy : Oh, but anyway, Toto, we're home. Home! And this is my room, and you're all here. And I'm not gonna leave here ever, ever again, because I love you all, and - oh, Auntie Em - there's no place like home!
-
Dorothy : Your Majesty, if you were king, you wouldn't be afraid of anything?
The Cowardly Lion : Not nobody! Not nohow!
The Tin Man : Not even a rhinoceros?
The Cowardly Lion : Imposerous!
Dorothy : How about a hippopotamus?
The Cowardly Lion : Why, I'd thrash him from top to bottomus!
Dorothy : Supposing you met an elephant?
The Cowardly Lion : I'd wrap him up in cellophant!
The Scarecrow : What if it were a brontosaurus?
The Cowardly Lion : I'd show him who was king of the forest!
-
The Cowardly Lion : Courage! What makes a king out of a slave? Courage! What makes the flag on the mast to wave? Courage! What makes the elephant charge his tusk in the misty mist, or the dusky dusk? What makes the muskrat guard his musk? Courage! What makes the sphinx the seventh wonder? Courage! What makes the dawn come up like thunder? Courage! What makes the Hottentot so hot? What puts the "ape" in apricot? What have they got that I ain't got?
Dorothy , The Scarecrow , The Tin Man : Courage!
The Cowardly Lion : You can say that again!... Huh?
-
Dorothy : [singing] Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly. Birds fly over the rainbow. Why then, oh why can't I? If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow, why oh why cant I?
-
Dorothy : [to the Scarecrow] I think I'll miss you most of all.
-
The Scarecrow : I haven't got a brain... only straw.
Dorothy : How can you talk if you haven't got a brain?
The Scarecrow : I don't know... But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking... don't they?
Dorothy : Yes, I guess you're right.
-
Dorothy : Now which way do we go?
The Scarecrow : Pardon me, this way is a very nice way.
Dorothy : Who said that?
[Toto barks at scarecrow]
Dorothy : Don't be silly, Toto. Scarecrows don't talk.
The Scarecrow : [points other way] It's pleasant down that way, too.
Dorothy : That's funny. Wasn't he pointing the other way?
The Scarecrow : [points both ways] Of course, some people do go both ways.
-
Dorothy : My! People come and go so quickly here!
-
Dorothy : My goodness, what a fuss you're making! Well naturally, when you go around picking on things weaker than you are, why, you're nothing but a great big coward!
The Cowardly Lion : [crying] You're right, I am a coward! I haven't any courage at all. I even scare myself.
[sobs]
The Cowardly Lion : Look at the circles under my eyes, I haven't slept in weeks!
The Tin Man : Why don't you try counting sheep?
The Cowardly Lion : That doesn't do any good, I'm *afraid* of 'em!
The Scarecrow : Aw, that's too bad.
-
The Tin Man : What have you learned, Dorothy?
Dorothy : Well, I - I think that it - it wasn't enough to just want to see Uncle Henry and Auntie Em - and it's that - if I ever go looking for my heart's desire again, I won't look any further than my own back yard. Because if it isn't there, I never really lost it to begin with! Is that right?
-
Auntie Em : Now, you just help us out today and find yourself a place where you won't get into any trouble!
Dorothy : Someplace where there isn't any trouble. Do you suppose there is such a place, Toto? There must be. It's not a place you can get to by a boat or a train. It's far, far away. Behind the moon, beyond the rain...
[sings]
Dorothy : Somewhere, over the rainbow, way up high, there's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby. Somewhere, over the rainbow, skies are blue... and the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true. Someday I'll wish upon a star and wake up where the clouds are far behind me... where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me... Somewhere, over the rainbow, bluebirds fly. Birds fly over the rainbow... why, then, oh why can't I? If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow... why oh why can't I?
-
Dorothy : Goodbye, Tin Man. Oh, don't cry! You'll rust so dreadfully. Here. Here's your oil can.
[kisses him]
Dorothy : Goodbye.
The Tin Man : Now I know I've got a heart, 'cause it's breaking...
Dorothy : Goodbye, Lion. You know, I know it isn't right, but I'm going to miss the way you used to holler for help before you found your courage.
The Cowardly Lion : [tearfully] I never would've found it, if it hadn't been for you...
Dorothy : [to Scarecrow] I think I'll miss you most of all.
-
Dorothy : There's no place like home.
-
Captain of the Winkie Guard : [after the Wicked Witch has melted] She's... She's dead. You killed her.
Dorothy : I didn't mean to kill her. Really, I didn't. It's just that he was on fire.
Captain of the Winkie Guard : Hail to Dorothy! The Wicked Witch is dead!
The Winkies : [all kneel before Dorothy] *Hail*! Hail to Dorothy! The Wicked Witch is dead!
Dorothy : The broom! May we have it?
Captain of the Winkie Guard : [hands Dorothy the broomstick] Please. And take it with you.
Dorothy : Oh, thank you so much! Now we can go back to the Wizard, and tell him the Wicked Witch is dead!
The Winkies : The Wicked Witch is dead!
-
Dorothy : [sings] It really was no miracle. What happened was just this: the wind began to switch, the house, to pitch! And suddenly the hinges started to unhitch. Just then, the Witch, to satisfy an itch, went flying on her broomstick, thumbing for a hitch!
Munchkin : [singing] And ooh, what happened then was rich!
Munchkins : [singing] The house began to pitch, the kitchen took a slitch! It landed on the Wicked Witch in the middle of a ditch! Which, was not a happy si-tu-ation for the Wicked Witch!
-
The Cowardly Lion : [singing] I'd be brave as a blizzard...
The Tin Man : [singing] I'd be gentle as a lizard...
The Scarecrow : [singing] I'd be clever as a gizzard...
Dorothy : [singing] If the Wizard is a wizard who will serve.
The Scarecrow : [singing] Then I'm sure to get a brain...
The Tin Man : [singing] A heart...
Dorothy : [singing] A home...
The Cowardly Lion : [singing] The nerve!
-
Dorothy : [Toto is held hostage by the Witch and one of her monkeys] What are you gonna do to my dog? Give him back to me!
The Wicked Witch of the West : All in good time, my little pretty. All in good time.
Dorothy : Oh, please give me back my dog!
The Wicked Witch of the West : Certainly, certainly. When you give me those slippers.
Dorothy : But the Good Witch of the North told me not to!
The Wicked Witch of the West : Very well.
[to Flying Monkey]
The Wicked Witch of the West : Throw that basket in the river and drown him!
Dorothy : NO! No no, here... you can have your old slippers, but give me back Toto!
The Wicked Witch of the West : That's a good little girl. I knew you'd see reason.
[stooped to take the shoes but fire leaps out and burns her]
The Wicked Witch of the West : Aagh!
Dorothy : Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't do it! Can I still have my dog?
The Wicked Witch of the West : No! Fool that I am! I should have remembered; those slippers will never come off, as long as you're alive. But that's not what's worrying me. It's *how* to do it. These things must be done *delicately*, or you hurt the spell.
[Toto leaps from the basket and runs for it]
Dorothy : Run Toto, RUN!
The Wicked Witch of the West : Catch him!
[Guards throw spears at Toto]
Dorothy : Run, Toto, run! Run Toto, run! He got away! He got away!
The Wicked Witch of the West : Which is more than you will! Drat you and your dog! You've been more trouble to me than you're worth one way or another, but it'll soon be over now!
[grabs an hourglass and turns it over]
The Wicked Witch of the West : See that? That's how much longer you've got to be alive! And it isn't long, my pretty, it isn't long! I can't wait forever to get those shoes!
-
The Tin Man : Where do we go now?
The Cowardly Lion : Yeah...
[Toto barks]
The Scarecrow : There!
[they follow Toto up the stairs, he scratches at the door to the room with Dorothy]
The Scarecrow : Wait, we better make sure. Dorothy, are you in there? It's us!
Dorothy : [running to the door] Yes! It's me! She locked me in!
The Cowardly Lion : Come on! We gotta get her out! Open the door!
Dorothy : Oh hurry, please, hurry! The hourglass is almost empty!
The Tin Man : Stand back!
[he takes his axe to the door; it swings open just as the last sand trickles away]
Dorothy : Oh! Oh Toto! Oh I knew you'd come! Oh Lion! Tin Man! You found my doggie!
The Scarecrow : Hurry! We've got no time to lose!
[they race down the stairs; the doors bang shut on them]
The Wicked Witch of the West : [cackling] Leaving so soon? I wouldn't hear of it! Why, my little party's just beginning!
-
Dorothy : [Reaches to pick an apple from the apple tree, the tree grabs the apple and slaps her hand] Ouch!
Angry Apple Tree : What do you think you're doing?
Dorothy : We've been walking a long ways and I was hungry and... did you say something?
Angry Apple Tree : She was hungry!
Apple Tree : [Repeating after The Angry Apple Tree] She was hungry!
Angry Apple Tree : Well, how would you like to have someone come along and pick something off of you?
Dorothy : Oh, dear! I keep forgetting I'm not in Kansas!
The Scarecrow : [disparagingly] Come along, Dorothy. You don't want any of *those* apples! Hmph!
Angry Apple Tree : Are you hinting my apples aren't what they ought to be?
The Scarecrow : [sarcastically] Oh no! It's just that she doesn't like little green worms!
Angry Apple Tree : Oh you!
[the trees start shaking their branches angrily]
The Scarecrow : [in Dorothy's ear] I'll show you how to get apples!
[taunts the trees by making a face; the first tree throws an apple that knocks him down]
Dorothy : [concerned] Oh!
[the trees continue throwing apples]
The Scarecrow : Hooray! I guess that did it! Help yourself!
-
Dorothy : [as the Wizard's balloon goes off without her] Oh! Come back! Come back! Don't go without me! Please come back!
The Wizard of Oz : I can't come back, I don't know how it works! Good-bye, folks!
[the people shout and wave goodbye]
Dorothy : Oh no, I'll never get home...
[she begins to cry]
The Cowardly Lion : [emotionally] Stay with us then, Dorothy. We all love ya. We don't... want you to go.
Dorothy : Oh, that's very kind of you. But this could never be like Kansas. Auntie Em must have stopped wondering what happened to me by now! Oh, Scarecrow, what am I gonna do?
The Scarecrow : [pointing] Look! Here's someone who can help you!
[Glinda's pink bubble descends]
-
Glinda : Are you a good witch, or a bad witch?
Dorothy : Who me? I'm not a witch at all. I'm Dorothy Gale, from Kansas.
Glinda : Oh. Well, is that the witch?
[pointing to Toto]
Dorothy : Who, Toto? Toto's my dog!
Glinda : [laughs] Well, I'm a little muddled! The Munchkins called me because a new witch has just dropped a house on the Wicked Witch of the East. And there's the house, and here you are, and that's all that's left of the Wicked Witch of the East.
[she points to a pair of legs sticking out from under the house; Dorothy gasps]
Glinda : So, what the Munchkins want to know is, are you a good witch, or a bad witch?
Dorothy : But, I've already told you, I'm not a witch at all! Witches are old, and ugly!
[they hear giggles]
Dorothy : What was that?
Glinda : The Munchkins. They're laughing because, I *am* a Witch. I'm Glinda, the Witch of the North.
Dorothy : You are?
[she curtsies]
Dorothy : Oh, I beg your pardon! But, I've never heard of a beautiful witch before.
-
The Gatekeeper : Who rang that bell?
Dorothy , The Scarecrow , The Cowardly Lion , The Tin Man : [all four together] We did!
The Gatekeeper : Can't you read?
The Scarecrow : Read what?
The Gatekeeper : The notice!
Dorothy , The Scarecrow , The Cowardly Lion , The Tin Man : What notice?
The Gatekeeper : It's on the door - as plain as the nose on my face! It... oh...
[does a tsking, expression, goes inside door for a moment. He hangs the notice and goes back inside]
Dorothy , The Scarecrow , The Cowardly Lion , The Tin Man : [Reading notice, all together] Bell out of order, please knock.
[Dorothy knocks the door and he opens the window]
The Gatekeeper : Well, that's more like it! Now, state your business!
Dorothy , The Scarecrow , The Cowardly Lion , The Tin Man : [all together] We want to see the Wizard!
The Gatekeeper : [gasps] The Wizard? But, nobody can see the Great Oz! Nobody's ever seen the Great Oz! Even, I've never seen him!
Dorothy : Well, then how do you know there is one?
The Gatekeeper : Because, he... I... Oh, you're wasting my time.
[starts to close the window]
Dorothy : Oh, please. Please, sir. I've got to see the Wizard. The Good Witch of the North sent me.
The Gatekeeper : Prove it.
The Scarecrow : She's wearing the ruby slippers, she gave her.
The Gatekeeper : Oh, so she is! Well, bust my buttons! Why didn't you say that in the first place? That's a horse of a different color! Come on in!
-
Dorothy : Did you say something?
[indiscernible sounds from the rusted Tin Man]
Dorothy : He said oil can!
The Scarecrow : Oil can what?
Dorothy : Oil can...? What... Oh! Here it is! Where do you want to be oiled first?
[Tin Man squeaks]
The Scarecrow : He said his mouth!
[they dab oil into the corners of Tin Man's mouth]
The Tin Man : [working his mouth loose] Muh... ma... me... mah... my, my goodness, I can talk again! Oh, oil my arms please! Oil my elbows!
[they do so, and help to wrench down the arm holding up the axe]
Dorothy : [concerned] Oh, did that hurt?
The Tin Man : No, it feels wonderful. I've held that axe up for ages.
-
Dorothy : What would you do with a brain if you had one?
-
Dorothy : Weren't you frightened?
The Wizard of Oz : Frightened? Child, you're talking to a man who's laughed in the face of death, sneered at doom, and chuckled at catastrophe... I was petrified.
-
The Wicked Witch of the West : Who killed my sister? Who killed the Witch of the East? Was it you?
Dorothy : No. No, it was an accident! I didn't mean to kill anybody!
The Wicked Witch of the West : Well, my little pretty, I can cause accidents, too!
-
[Dorothy, the Scarecrow, and the Tin Man watch as the Wicked Witch of the West vanishes into a fireball]
The Scarecrow : I'm not afraid of her! I'll see you get safely to the Wizard now, whether I get a brain or not. Stuff a mattress with me. Ha!
The Tin Man : I'll see you reach the Wizard, whether I get a heart or not. Beehive, bah! Let her try and make a beehive out of me!
[snaps his fingers with a clunking sound]
Dorothy : Oh, you're the best friends anybody ever had. And it's funny, but I feel as if I'd known you all the time, but I couldn't have, could I?
The Scarecrow : I don't see how. You weren't around when I was stuffed and sewn together, were you?
The Tin Man : And I was standing over there, rusting for the longest time.
Dorothy : Still, I wish I could remember... but I guess it doesn't matter anyway. We know each other now, don't we?
The Scarecrow : That's right.
The Tin Man : We do.
The Scarecrow : To Oz?
The Tin Man : To Oz.
-
The Wizard of Oz : Can I believe my eyes? Why have you come back?
Dorothy : Please, sir, we've done what you told us. We've brought you the broomstick of the Wicked Witch of the West. We melted her!
The Wizard of Oz : Ah, you liquidated her, eh? Very resourceful.
Dorothy : Yes, sir. So we'd like you to keep your promise to us, if you please, sir.
The Wizard of Oz : Not so fast, not so fast! I'll have to give the matter a little thought. Go away and come back tomorrow.
Dorothy : Tomorrow? Oh, but I want to go home now!
The Tin Man : You've had plenty of time already!
The Cowardly Lion : [snarls] Yeahhh...
The Wizard of Oz : Do not arouse the wrath of the Great and Powerful Oz! I said, come back tomorrow!
[Toto runs off behind a curtain]
Dorothy : If you were really great and powerful, you'd keep your promises!
The Wizard of Oz : Do you presume to criticize the Great Oz? You ungrateful creatures! Think yourselves lucky that I'm giving you audience tomorrow instead of twenty years from now!
[Toto pulls the curtain aside, revealing the real Wizard of Oz as a short, middle-aged man with blond hair]
The Wizard of Oz : Oh...!
[turns and speaks into the megaphone]
The Wizard of Oz : The Great Oz has spoken! Oh!
[he pulls the curtain again]
The Wizard of Oz : Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain! The greatest... Oz... has... spoken!
Dorothy : [Yanking back the curtain] Who are you?
The Wizard of Oz : Who, ah, ah... I am the Great and Powerful...! Wizard, of Oz...
Dorothy : YOU are? I don't believe you!
The Wizard of Oz : Well, I'm afraid it's true, there's no other Wizard except me...
The Scarecrow : [angrily] You HUMBUG!
The Cowardly Lion : Yeah!
The Wizard of Oz : [ashamed] Yes, yes, exactly so, I'm a humbug.
Dorothy : Oh... You're a very bad man!
The Wizard of Oz : Oh, no, my dear! I, I'm a very good man! I'm... just a very bad wizard.
-
Dorothy : Oh please, Professor, why can't we go with you and see all the Crowned Heads of Europe?
Professor Marvel : Do you know any? Oh, you mean the... thing. Yes.
-
Dorothy : Where do you want to be oiled first?
-
The Cowardly Lion : I'll get you anyway, Peewee.
[Chases Toto]
Dorothy : [smacking him on the nose] Shame on you!
The Cowardly Lion : [sobbing] Why did you do that for? I didn't bite him!
Dorothy : No, but you tried to. It's bad enough picking on a straw man, but when you go around picking on poor little dogs!
The Cowardly Lion : Well, you didn't have hit me, didja?
[sobs]
The Cowardly Lion : Is my nose bleeding?
Dorothy : Well, of course not.
[he continues to sob]
Dorothy : My goodness, what a fuss you're making!
-
The Scarecrow : You're going to see a wizard?
Dorothy : Mm-hm!
The Scarecrow : Do you think if I went with you this wizard would give me some brains?
Dorothy : I couldn't say. But even if he didn't, you'd be no worse off than you are now.
The Scarecrow : Yes, that's true.
Dorothy : ...But, maybe you'd better not. I've got a witch mad at me and you might get into trouble.
The Scarecrow : A witch? I'm not afraid of a witch! I'm not afraid of anything!... Oh, ehm... Except a lighted match.
[fluffs his straw]
Dorothy : I don't blame you for that.
The Scarecrow : But I'd face a whole box full of 'em for the chance of getting some brains! Look, I won't be any trouble, because I don't need to think. And I won't try to manage things, because I can't think! Won't you take me with you?
Dorothy : Why, of course I will!
-
Dorothy : Oh, Thank you so much! We've been gone such a long time and we feel so messy...
[she sees the horse is a brilliant purple]
Dorothy : What kind of a horse is that? I've never seen a horse like that before!
The Carriage Driver : And never will again, I fancy. There's only one of him and he's it. He's the Horse of a Different Color you've heard tell about!
-
Dorothy : Oh, oh, what's happening, what is it? I can't run anymore. Oh, I'm so sleepy...
The Scarecrow : Here, give us your hands and we'll pull you along!
Dorothy : Oh no no, please, I have to rest for just a minute. Toto, where's Toto?
[she falls down, asleep]
The Scarecrow : Oh you can't rest now, we're nearly there!
[Tin Man starts crying]
The Scarecrow : Don't cry! You'll rust yourself again!
The Cowardly Lion : Come to think of it, forty winks wouldn't be bad...
[he sags]
The Scarecrow : [trying to hold him up] Don't you start too!
The Tin Man : [grabbing him] No! We'd better try and carry Dorothy!
The Scarecrow : I don't think I could... but we could try!
The Tin Man : Let's!
The Scarecrow : Yes!
[the lion collapses]
The Tin Man : Oh, now look at him! This is terrible!
The Scarecrow : Here, Tin Man, help me!
[they tug at Dorothy]
The Scarecrow : Oh, this is terrible! Can't budge her an inch! This is a spell, this is!
The Tin Man : It's the Wicked Witch! What'll we do? Help! HELP!
The Scarecrow : It's no use screaming at a time like this! Nobody will hear you!... Help, HEEEEELLLLP!
-
Dorothy : I've got a witch mad at me and you might get into trouble!
-
[first lines]
Dorothy : She isn't coming yet, Toto. Did she hurt you? She tried to, didn't she? Come on. We'll go tell Uncle Henry and Auntie Em.
-
Dorothy : I'm frightened, Auntie Em! I'm frightened!
[Auntie Em's image appears in the crystal ball]
Auntie Em : Dorothy? Dorothy? Where are you? It's me, Auntie Em! We're trying to find you! Where are you?
Dorothy : I'm here in Oz, Auntie Em! I'm locked in the witch's castle, and I'm trying to get home to you, Auntie Em!
[Auntie Em's image fades out]
Dorothy : Oh, Auntie Em, don't go away! I'm frightened! Come back! Come back!
[the Wicked Witch's image appears in the crystal ball]
The Wicked Witch of the West : Auntie Em! Auntie Em! Come back! I'll give you Auntie Em, my pretty!
[cackling, to the audience, cackling again and the Wicked Witch's image fades out]
-
Dorothy : [in the Wizard's Throne Room with the three others, having returned from the Witch's castle] Please, sir. We've done what you told us. We brought you the broomstick of the Wicked Witch of the West. We melted her!
The Wizard of Oz : Oh, you liquidated her, eh? Very resourceful!
-
Dorothy : Do you suppose we'll meet any wild animals?
The Tin Man : Mm, we might.
The Scarecrow : Animals that, that eat... s-straw?
The Tin Man : Ah, some, but mostly lions, and tigers, and bears.
Dorothy : Lions?
The Scarecrow : And tigers?
The Tin Man : And bears.
-
Manicurist in Emerald City : We can make a dimpled smile out of a frown.
Dorothy : Can you even dye my eyes to match my gown?
Manicurist in Emerald City : Uh-huh.
Dorothy : Jolly old town!
-
'Hunk' : Now look here, Dorothy, you ain't using your head about Miss Gulch. You'd think you didn't have any brains at all.
Dorothy : I have so got brains.
'Hunk' : Well, why don't you use them? When you come home, don't go by Miss Gulch's place. Then Toto won't get in her garden, and you won't get in no trouble. See?
Dorothy : Oh Hunk, you just won't listen, that's all.
'Hunk' : Well, your head ain't made of straw, you know.
-
The Cowardly Lion : [getting a panic attack walking into the Wizard's foyer] Wait a minute, fellas. I was just thinking. I really don't want to see the Wizard this much. I'd better wait for you outside.
The Scarecrow : What's the matter?
The Tin Man : Oh, he's just s-scared again.
Dorothy : Don't you know the Wizard's going to give you some courage?
The Cowardly Lion : I'd be too scared to ask him for it.
[sobs]
Dorothy : Well then, we'll ask him for you.
The Cowardly Lion : I'd sooner wait outside.
Dorothy : Why? Why?
The Cowardly Lion : Because I'm still *scared*.
[sobs]
-
Dorothy : You ought to be ashamed of yourself, frightening him like that when he came for you to help!
The Wizard of Oz : [booming voice] Silence, whippersnapper! The beneficent Oz has every intention of granting your requests!
The Cowardly Lion : What's that? What'd he say?
Dorothy : Oh, come on.
[pulls the Lion up]
The Cowardly Lion : Huh, what'd he say?
The Wizard of Oz : [booming voice] But first, you must prove yourselves worthy by performing a very small task. Bring me the broomstick of the Witch of the West.
The Tin Man : But if we do that, We'll have to kill her to get it.
The Wizard of Oz : [booming voice] Bring me her broomstick, and I'll grant your requests. Now, go!
The Cowardly Lion : But... but, what if she kills us first?
The Wizard of Oz : [booming voice] I said GO!
[the Cowardly Lion jumps with fright and running of the Wizard's throne room, jumps out of the window]
-
Miss Gulch : That dog's a menace to the community. I'm taking him to the sheriff and make sure he's destroyed.
Dorothy : Destroyed? Toto? Oh, you can't! You mustn't! Auntie Em! Uncle Henry! You won't let her, will you?
Uncle Henry : [chuckles] Of course we won't. Will we, Em?
Dorothy : Please, Aunt Em, Toto didn't mean to. He didn't know he was doing anything wrong. I'm the one that ought to be punished. I let him go in her garden. You can send me to bed without supper.
Miss Gulch : [strictly pointly to Em] If you don't hand over that dog, I'll bring a damage suit that'll take your whole farm! There's a law protecting folks against dogs that bite!
Auntie Em : How would it be if she keeps him tied up? He's really gentle... with gentle people, that is.
Miss Gulch : Well, that's for the Sheriff to decide. Here's his order allowing me to take him. Unless you want to go against the law.
Uncle Henry : Uhh... yeah...
Auntie Em : Now, we can't go against the law, Dorothy. I'm afraid poor Toto will have to go.
Miss Gulch : Now you're seeing reason.
Dorothy : No...
Miss Gulch : Here's what I'm taking him in... so he can't attack me again.
Dorothy : OH, NO, NO! I won't let you take him! You go away, you... .! Oooh, I'LL BITE YOU MYSELF!
Miss Gulch : Dorothy!
Dorothy : You wicked old witch! Uncle Henry, Auntie Em, don't let 'em take Toto! Don't let her take him... please!
Miss Gulch : Here! I've got an order! Let me have...
Dorothy : STOP HER!
Auntie Em : Put him in the basket, Henry.
Miss Gulch : The idea!
Dorothy : Oh, don't, Uncle Henry. Oh, Toto! Don't...
[Dorothy starts crying she looks to Aunt Em, then to Uncle Henry then turns and starts out, and runs out of the room]
-
The Scarecrow : Don't you think the Wizard could help him, too?
Dorothy : I don't see why not. Why don't you come along with us? We're on our way to see the Wizard now. To get him a heart.
The Tin Man : And him a brain.
Dorothy : I'm sure he could give you some courage.
The Cowardly Lion : Well, wouldn't you feel degraded to be seen in the company of a cowardly lion? I would.
[bawling]
Dorothy : No, of course not.
The Cowardly Lion : Gee, that's... that's awfully nice of you. My life has been simply unbearable.
Dorothy : Oh, Well, it's all right now. The Wizard'll fix everything.
[wipes his tears away]
The Cowardly Lion : It's... It's been in me so long. I just... gotta tell you how I feel.
Dorothy : [grabs Toto] Well, come on!
The Cowardly Lion : [singing] Yeh, it's sad, believe me, Missy. When you're born to be a sissy. Without the vim and verve. But I could show my prowess, Be a lion not a mou-ess If I only had the nerve. I'm afraid there's no denyin'. I'm just a dande-lion, A fate I don't deserve.

Dorothy : Goodness! How did you ever get like this?
The Tin Man : Well, about a year ago, I was chopping that tree, when suddenly it began to rain. And right in the middle of the chop, I rusted solid. And I've been that way ever since.
Dorothy : Well, you're perfect now.
The Tin Man : [to Scarecrow] My neck. My neck.
[Scarecrow oils Tin Man's neck]
The Tin Man : [to Dorothy] Perfect? Bang on my chest if you think I'm perfect. Go ahead, bang on it!
[Dorothy bangs on his chest which causes an echo]
The Scarecrow : BEAUTIFUL! What an echo!
The Tin Man : [Sadly] It's empty. The tinsmith forgot to give me a heart.
Dorothy , The Scarecrow : No heart?
The Tin Man : No heart. All hollow.
[Taps his chest and falls backwards]
The Tin Man : [singing] When a man's an empty kettle, He should be on his mettle, And yet I'm torn apart. Just because I'm presuming That I could be kind of human. If I only had a heart. I'd be tender, I'd be gentle, And awful sentimental. Regarding love and art, I'd be friends with a sparrows And the boy who shoots the arrows. If I only had a heart. Picture me, A balcony Above a voice sings low.
Juliet : Wherefore art thou, Romeo?
The Tin Man : [singing] I hear a beat. How sweet! Just to register emotion Jealousy, devotion. And really feel the part. I could stay young and chipper. And I lock it with a zipper. If I only had a heart.

Dorothy : Oh! Are you all right?
The Tin Man : I'm afraid, I'm a little rusty yet.
Dorothy : Oh dear!
Dorothy : [She oiled him some more] That was wonderful! You know, we were just wondering why couldn't you come with us to the Emerald City to ask the Wizard of Oz for a heart.
The Tin Man : Well, suppose the Wizard wouldn't give me one when we got there.
Dorothy : Oh, but he will! He must! We've come such a long way already.
[the Wicked Witch of the West cackles madly as she stands on the roof of the cabin]
The Wicked Witch of the West : You call that long? Why, you've just begun! Helping the little lady along, are you, my fine gentlemen?
The Wicked Witch of the West : [to Scarecrow] Well, stay away from her, or I'll stuff a mattress with you!
The Wicked Witch of the West : [to Tin Man] And you! I'll use you for a beehive! Here, Scarecrow. Wanna play ball?
[the witch throws down a ball of fire to the ground which sets it on fire]
The Scarecrow : Fire! I'm burning! I'm burning!
[Dorothy screams in fright and Tin Man quickly puts out the fire with his funnel cap]
The Scarecrow : [the witch cackles then she disappeared behind a cloud of red smoke]

Dorothy : Oh will you help me? Can you help me?
Glinda : You don't need to be helped any longer. You've always had the power to go back to Kansas.
Dorothy : I have?
The Scarecrow : Then why didn't you tell her before?
Glinda : Because she wouldn't have believed me. She had to learn it for herself.
The Tin Man : What have you learned, Dorothy?
Dorothy : Well, I, I think that it, that it wasn't enough just to want to see Uncle Henry and Auntie Em. And it's that if I ever go looking for my heart's desire again, I won't look any further than my own backyard. Because if it isn't there, I never really lost it to begin with. Is that right?
Glinda : That's all it is.

The Scarecrow : Come along, Dorothy. You don't want any of those apples. Hmph!
Angry Apple Tree : Are you hinting my apples aren't what they ought to be?
The Scarecrow : Oh, no. It's just that she doesn't like little green worms!
Angry Apple Tree : Oh you!
[shakes his branches angrily at the Scarecrow]
The Scarecrow : [in Dorothy's ear] I'll show you how to get apples!
[makes a face taunting the trees; they throw apples at him, knocking him down]
Dorothy : [concerned] Oh!
[the trees continue tossing apples at them]
The Scarecrow : Hooray! I guess that did it! Help yourself!
[they begin picking up the thrown apples]

Auntie Em : Wake up honey. Dorothy, Dorothy dear, it's Aunt Em darling.
Dorothy : Oh, Auntie Em. It's you.
Professor Marvel : Hello there, anyone home. I just dropped by because I heard the little girl got caught in the big
[realizing Dorothy is fine]
Professor Marvel : well she seems alright now.
Uncle Henry : Yeah, she got quite a bump on the head we kind of thought there for a minute she was going to leave us.
Dorothy : But I did leave you, Uncle Henry that's just the trouble and I tried to get back for days and days.
Auntie Em : Their, their lay quiet now, you just had a bad dream.
'Hunk' : You remember me? Your old pal Hunk
'Hickory' : Or me, Hickory.
'Zeke' : You couldn't forget my face could you?
Dorothy : But it wasn't a dream, it was a place and you, and you and you and you were there.
Professor Marvel : Oh.
Dorothy : But you couldn't have been could you.
Auntie Em : But we dream lots of silly things when we.
Dorothy : No Aunt Em, this is a real truly live place. And I remember some of it wasn't very nice but most of it was beautiful but just the same all I kept saying to everybody was I want to go home and they sent me home.
[everyone is skeptical]
Dorothy : doesn't anybody believe me?
Uncle Henry : Of course we believe you Dorothy.
Dorothy : But anyway Toto, we're home. Home. And this is my room and you're all here and I'm not gonna leave here ever ever again because I love you all. Oh Auntie Em, there's no place like home.

'Zeke' : How's she coming?
'Hunk' : Take it easy. Ow! You got my finger!
'Zeke' : Well, why don't you get your finger out of the way?
[Zeke and Hickory drops the buckboard back in place]
'Zeke' : There you go.
'Hunk' : Right on my finger!
'Zeke' : It's a lucky thing it wasn't your head.
Dorothy : Zeke, what am I gonna do about Miss Gulch? Just because Toto chases her old cat...
'Zeke' : Listen, honey, I got them hogs to get in.
'Hunk' : Now look it, Dorothy, you ain't using your head about Miss Gulch. Think you didn't have any brains at all.
Dorothy : I have so got brains.
'Hunk' : Well, why don't you use them? When you come home, don't go by Miss Gulch's place. Then Toto won't get in her garden and you won't get in no trouble, see?
Dorothy : Oh, Hunk, you just won't listen, that's all.
'Hunk' : Well, your head ain't made out of straw, you know.
-
Dorothy : Aunt Em, just listen what Miss Gulch did to Toto.
Auntie Em : [not listening] Dorothy, please, we're trying to count.
Dorothy : But Aunt Em, she hit him.
Uncle Henry : Don't bother us, honey. This old incubators gone bad and we're likely to lose some of our chicks.
