Begone, before somebody drops a house on you!
Glinda, the Good Witch of the North Let the joyous news be spread: The Wicked Old Witch at last is dead.
Glinda, the Good Witch of the North The only person who might know would be the great and wonderful Wizard of Oz himself!
Glinda, the Good Witch of the North And remember, never let those ruby slippers off your feet for a moment, or you will be at the mercy of the Wicked Witch of the West.
Scenes with Glinda, the Good Witch of the North
3 scenes Glinda Are you a good witch, or a bad witch?
Who, me? Why, I'm not a witch at all. I'm Dorothy Gale from Kansas.
Glinda Oh, well, is that a witch [gesturing toward Toto]?
Toto? Toto's my dog.
Glinda 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. And so, what the Munchkins want to know is, are you a Good Witch or a Bad Witch?
Oh, but I've already told you, I'm not a witch at all! Witches are old and ugly. [The Munchkins giggle from concealment] What was that?
Glinda The Munchkins. They're laughing because I am a witch. I'm Glinda, the Witch of the North.
You are?! Oh, I beg your pardon! But I've never heard of a beautiful witch before.
Glinda Only bad witches are ugly. The Munchkins are happy because you have freed them from the Wicked Witch of the East.
Oh, but if you please, what are Munchkins?
Glinda The little people who live in this land. It's Munchkinland. And you are their national heroine, my dear.
Who killed my sister? Who killed the Witch of the East?! Was it you?!
No, no it was an accident. I didn't mean to kill anybody!
Well, my little pretty, I can cause accidents too.
Glinda Aren't you forgetting the ruby slippers?
The slippers. Yes! The slippers... [She reaches for them, but they disappear and the feet curl up under the house] They're gone! The ruby slippers. What have you done with them? Give them back to me or I'll...
Glinda [after the slippers appear on Dorothy's feet]
It's too late. There they are and there they'll stay.
Give me back my slippers. I'm the only one that knows how to use them. They're no use to you. Give them back to me. Give them back!
Glinda Keep tight inside of them. Their magic must be very powerful, or she wouldn't want them so badly.
Glinda [laughs]
Oh, rubbish! You have no power here. Now begone, before somebody drops a house on you too!
[looks up at the sky, afraid]
Very well. I'll bide my time. [to Dorothy] And as for you, my fine young lady, it's true, I can't attend to you here and now as I'd like, but just try to stay out of my way. Just try! I'll get you, my pretty - and your little dog, too! Ah-hah-hah-hah-hah-hah!
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.
I have?
Then why didn't you tell her before?
Glinda She wouldn't have believed me. She had to learn it for herself.
What have you learned, 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!
But that's so easy! I should've thought of it for you -
I should have felt it in my heart -
Glinda No, she had to find it out for herself. Now those magic slippers will take you home in two seconds!
Oh! Toto too?
Glinda Toto too.
Now?
Glinda Whenever you wish.
...
Glinda Then close your eyes and tap your heels together three times. And think to yourself, 'There's no place like home'.
