I simply want peace, that's all I ever wanted and the wizard can do that. He's a good man.
Where... Where am I exactly?
Where do you think you are?
I have no idea. It's... It's like no place I've ever seen.
You're in Oz.

Oz the Great and Powerful quotes
Page 1 of 3I don't want to be a good man... I want to be a great one.
What's the matter? Run out of bubbles?
I don't need them. The bubbles are just for show.
[they fight. Evanora's emerald clasp is destroyed, and her appearance of youth with it] .
What have you done to me?!
Revealed what you truly are.
[Exit Evanora] .
Well done, Tinker. Your machine works beautifully!
Master Tinker That's just workmanship. What you displayed was real courage. Your father would be more than proud of you. He would marvel at the woman you've become.
[Laughing]
OUT OF MY WAY! [flies into the city on her broom, causing the citizens to jump aside in fright; she lands in front of Glinda, stares at her for a moment, then kneels so that they are eye-to-eye] Give up, Glinda. Why do you continue to resist?
Because I believe in the Wizard.
[her face darkens with rage]
So did I, once. Behold. [stands up, pointing to Oz's balloon full of stolen gold, rising over the city] LOOK! Your Wizard!
Citizen 1
[Glinda stares at the balloon]
Where is he going?
Citizen 2
[sadly]
He's abandoning us!
Citizen 3
[sadly]
How could he?
[Knuck, Master Tinker, and Finley all watch in disappointment. Suddenly, Theodora conjures a red fireball and hurls it at the balloon]
No!
[The balloon is hit by the fireball and explodes in a burst of flame, raining gold coins over the center of the square. The crowd reacts with horror as the burning balloon crashes down on the heap of gold]
No! [starts to cry]
[Theodora stares impassively at the bonfire as Glinda and the citizens cry quietly. As the Winkies move the crowds back, Finley flies over to the wreckage and retrieves Oz's smoking top hat; he clutches it and begins to cry. A Winkie guard walks over to him] [in Winkie voice]
Hey. [Finley looks up, and the Winkie pulls back the brim of his helmet to reveal Oz, grinning] Hello, Monkey.
Finley Oz! [beams, hugs him] I thought you were dead-
Shh...You were crying pretty hard - was that for me?
Finley Oh...no, some of the smoke got in my eyes!
Finley Wow, you fooled everybody - That was your greatest trick yet!
[to the Citizens]
Let this be the final word! [Oz and Finley glance nervously in her direction as she and Theodora step forward on either side of Glinda] Your prophecy is dead. Like the king who spoke it, and the wizard who tried to fulfill it! All dead!
[to Finley]
It's showtime. [leads him towards the projection-booth carriage, where the Master Tinker and Knuck are beckoning them]
[to the Citizens]
And they will be joined in death, by Glinda the Good! [the citizens watch sadly as Theodora and Evanora close on Glinda] Farewell.
Say hello to your daddy for me. [she and Theodora conjure green lightning and red flames, respectively, and begin charging up their magical energies for the killing blow]
The dreams of the people live on.
[Just as Theodora and Evanora are about to strike, all the torches around the square are instantly extinguished. In a blast of flame, a colossal image of Oz's face appears in the center of the plaza] [thunderously]
Fear me not, good people of Oz! Fear me not! For it is I: the great and powerful Wizard of Oz!
More tricks?! After everything?! How dare you defy us?!
Guards! Destroy him!
Guard Officer
Forward! Attack! [They throw javelins, to no avail. Oz laughs; the guards retreat].
Guards! Come back here in an instant!
[Oz is shown in the projection carriage, with Finley blowing a horn and shaking a thunder sheet for sound-effects.] [thunderously]
You thought you could kill me?! Me?! Thanks to you, I have shed my mortal shell and taken my true ethereal form. I am now more powerful than ever! I am invincible! You still doubt me?!
Doubt you? I defy you! [throws a fireball; Finley pulls a lever; Oz's image fades].
Beautifully done, sister.
Thank you.
Finley Hurry! You're taking too much time!
Hold… hold…
Finley They think they're winning!
Put it back on!
[the Tinker works the machine; no effect] .
What're you doing? Put it back on!
Tinker Loose wire. Screw's stuck!
Hold on! Use this! [gives him a tool]
Tinker Got it.
Great.
[laughs, then thunderously]
You cannot defeat me! I am immortal! I am the great and powerful Wizard of Oz! [the citizens cheer] Now, witness and observe, as I unleash the stars! Behold!
[Unseen by the witches, the Munchkins launch rockets, which explode into shimmering bursts and fill the sky above the city with light] .
He is the Wizard. [retreats]
Knuck We got Evanora! She's on the run!
Alright! We got one!
Come back, you coward! And you said I was the weak one!
[the China Girl frees Glinda]
But... I wanna go with you.
What, on a witch hunt? Nah, you're just a little girl.
I'm not as delicate as I look! [kicks Oz in the leg]
Listen, we have one rule in show business - never work with kids or animals... [points at Finley] ...And I'm already working with this thing. [Finley growls at him angrily] Relax. [back to China Girl] The answer is no. [China Girl starts crying, hoping to get sympathy] No, no. Don't-don't do that. You'll be fine.
For the record, I knew you’d had it in you all along.
Greatness?
Much better than that: Goodness.
Well done, Tinker. Your machine works beautifully!
Master Tinker That's just workmanship. What you displayed was true courage.
Would you stop that? A con man couldn’t have done all this. You’re much more than that.
Then I’ve got you fooled too.
The only person you’ve got fooled is yourself.
[as Theodora is fleeing Emerald City]
Theodora! [Theodora stops] I know your wickedness is not your doing, and should you ever find the goodness within you, you are welcome to return.
You don't know much about witches, do you?
[traveling by bubble to Glinda's kingdom]
These things go kind of fast, huh? [notices the bubble around the castle] Hey, is-is that a wall?
Of sorts. It repels our enemies; it protects us from harm.
But we're headed straight for it.
[nervously]
And going very fast. How do you, uh...? Does this thing have any brakes? [panicking] I'm going too fast! I'm gonna die!
[calmly]
You needn't worry, Wizard. It's a magic wall, and all good-hearted souls get [realization dawns on her] to pass through.
I'M GONNA DIE!!!
[whispering to Glinda, as her city celebrates his arrival]
You know, I should tell you. I might not actually be a wizard...
Yes, I know.
Oh?
Well, at least not any kind of wizard we were expecting.
Uh, you could tell?
Yes. I can also tell you're weak, selfish, slightly egotistical, and a fibber.
I see. Anything you don't know about me?
Whether or not you'll save my people.
Ah, no, I just told you I'm not the wizard.
But they don't know that. If you can make them believe, then you're wizard enough. (sadly) These are desperate times, after all. Can you make them believe?
Glinda, I've got it!
What have you got?
I've got a way out of this mess. [puts a book down on her desk]
What is this?
A battle plan. [Glinda picks up and starts flipping through the book: Mastering Magic] It's all in there: Illusion, misdirects, slight of hand... Look, I know I'm not the wizard you were expecting, but I might just be the wizard you need.
You said you were just a conman.
Precisely.
Nothing but a trickster?
Yes.
A terrible cheat?
The best there is.
Carnival magician's going to put on a show.
I'll put on the show of a lifetime, the likes of which the land of Oz has never seen! Magic. Mystery. PRESTIDIGITATION! It'll be my greatest trick yet.
May I have this dance, milady? [Theodora looks startled] Now you're gonna tell me no one's ever asked you to dance before.
