The Wizard of Oz: 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.

[While Dorothy is chasing Toto, the Wizard's hot-air balloon floats away.]
The Wizard: This is a highly irregular procedure - absolutely unprecedented. It'll ruin my exit.
Dorothy: Oh, wait! Come back, come back!
The Wizard: I can't come back, I don't know how it works!

[To the leader of the Winged Monkeys] Take your army to the Haunted Forest and bring me that girl and her dog. Do what you want with the others, but I want her alive and unharmed. They'll give you no trouble, I promise you that. I've sent a little insect on ahead to take the fight out of 'em. Ha-ha-ha-ha! Take special care of those ruby slippers - I want those most of all. Now fly! Fly!

[singing] Yeah, 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 mow-ess,
If I only had the nerve.
I'm afraid there's no denyin'
I'm just a dandy-lion —
A fate I don't deserve.

Dorothy: 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 thumbin' for a hitch.
The Munchkins: [singing] And oh, what happened then was rich. 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 healthy sit-uation for the Wicked Witch.

Why, if I had a brain, I could — [begins singing]
I could while away the hours,
Conferrin' with the flowers,
Consultin' with the rain.
And my head I'd be scratchin'
While my thoughts were busy hatchin'
If I only had a brain.

You see, I can't even scare a crow. They come from miles around just to eat in my field and laugh in my face. Oh, I'm a failure because I haven't got a brain.
