A scene from The Wizard of Oz 1939
Dorothy

Now which way do we go?

Scarecrow

Pardon me. That way is a very nice way...[pointing]

Dorothy

Who said that?

Dorothy

[Toto barks at the Scarecrow]

Don't be silly, Toto. Scarecrows don't talk!

Scarecrow

It's pleasant down that way too!...[pointing in another direction]

Dorothy

That's funny. Wasn't he pointing the other way?

Scarecrow

Of course, people do go both ways [pointing in both directions] That's the trouble. I can't make up my mind. 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.
