You're out of the woods
You're out of the dark
You're out of the night
Step into the sun
Step into the light
Keep straight ahead for
The most glorious place - on the face —
Of the earth or the sky
Hold onto your breath
Hold onto your heart
Hold onto your hope —
March up to the gate
And bid it open—
Lions and Tigers and Bears, oh my!
Better get under cover, Sylvester, there's a storm blowin' up, a whopper! Just speakin' the vernacular of the peasantry. Poor little kid. I hope she gets home all right.
Sign en route to the Witch's Castle: Witch's Castle, 1 mile. I'd turn back if I were you!
I hereby decree that until what time, if any, that I return, the Scarecrow, by virtue of his highly superior brains, shall rule in my stead... assisted by the Tin Man, by virtue of his magnificent heart, and the Lion, by virtue of his courage.
There's no place like home.

Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore. We must be over the rainbow.

Not nobody, not nohow!
Please don't cry anymore. I'll get you in to the Wizard somehow. I had an Aunt Em myself once.
Captain of the Winkie Guard She's dead! You killed her!
I didn't mean to. It's just the Scarecrow was on fire.
Captain of the Winkie Guard HAIL TO DOROTHY, THE WICKED WITCH IS DEAD!!!
HAIL!!! HAIL TO DOROTHY, THE WICKED WITCH IS DEAD!!!
The broom! May we have it?
Captain of the Winkie Guard Please, and take it with you.
Put 'em up, put 'em uuuuuup! Which one of you first? I'll fight ya both together if you want. I'll fight ya with one paw tied behind my back! I'll fight ya standin' on one foot! I'll fight ya with my eyes closed! [To the Tin Man] Ooooh, pulling an axe on me, hey? [To the Scarecrow] Sneakin' up on me, hey? Why, gnong-gnong!
Here, here. Go away and let us alone!
Oh, scared, huh? Afraid, huh? How long can you stay fresh in that can? Ha-ha-ha-ha. Come on, get up and fight, ya shivering junkyard. [To the Scarecrow] Put your hands up, ya lopsided bag of hay.
Now that's getting personal, Lion!
Yes, get up and teach him a lesson.
What's wrong with you teachin' him?
W-w-w-ell, I hardly know 'im.
No, but you tried to. It's bad enough picking on a straw man, but when you go around picking on poor little dogs...
Well, you didn't have to go and hit me, did ya? Is my nose bleeding?
Well, of course not. 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!
You're right. I am a coward. I haven't any courage at all. I even scare myself! Look at the circles under my eyes. I haven't slept in weeks.
Why don't you try counting sheep?
That doesn't do any good, I'm afraid of 'em.
That's too bad. [to Dorothy] Don't you think the wizard could help him too?
I don't see why not. [to the Lion] Why don't you come with us? We're on our way to see the wizard now...[pointing to the Tin Man] to get him a heart...
I'm sure he could give you some courage.
Wouldn't you feel degraded to be seen in the company of a cowardly lion? I would.
Of course not.
Gee, that's awfully nice of you. My life has been simply unbearable.
Well, it's all right now. The wizard will fix everything.
Wait a minute, fellas. I was just thinkin'. I really don't want to see the Wizard this much. I'd better wait for ya outside.
What's the matter?
Oh, he's just scared again.
Don't you know the Wizard is gonna give you some courage?
Well, then we'll ask him for you.
I'd sooner wait outside.
Why?
Because I'm still scared. [He yelps]
What happened?
Somebody pulled my tail!
Oh, you did it yourself.
What's that? What's that?
That's the castle of the Wicked Witch! Dorothy's in that awful place!
Oh, I hate to think of her in there! We've got to get her out!
Don't cry now! We haven't got the oil-can with us and you've been squeaking enough as it is!
Who's them? Who's them?
Oh-we-um; io-on!
I've got a plan to get in there…
He's got a plan!
An' you're gonna lead us!
M-m-me?
Yes, you!
I gotta get in there?
[Scarecrow and Tin Man nod] .
. All right; I'll go in there for Dorothy. Wicked Witch or no Wicked Witch. Guards or no guards; I'll tear 'em apart. I may not come out alive, but I'm goin' in there! There's only one thing I want you fellas to do.
What's that?
Talk me out of it.
[He backs down; the others prop him up, and all three go nearer to the gate. Toto barks; the Scarecrow quiets him. Three Winkie guards attack from behind. They fight; the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Lion re-enter, dressed in the Winkies' uniforms] .
Come on, I've got another plan!
Do you think it'll be polite, dropping in like this?
[They join the formation entering the castle] .
Where do we go now?
Yeah!
Dorothy? Dorothy? Where are you? It’s me? It’s Auntie Em? We’re trying to find you? Where are you?
I’m here in Oz, Auntie Em! I’m locked up in the Witch’s castle and I’m trying to get home to you, Auntie Em! Oh, Auntie Em, don’t go away! I’m frightened! Come back! Come back!
“Auntie Em! Auntie Em! Come back!” I’ll give you, Auntie Em, my pretty! Ha-ha-ha! Ha-ha-ha!
