A scene from The Wizard of Oz 1939
Dorothy

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.

Dorothy

I have?

Scarecrow

Then why didn't you tell her before?

Glinda

She wouldn't have believed me. She had to learn it for herself.

Scarecrow

What have you learned, Dorothy?

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!

Scarecrow

But that's so easy! I should've thought of it for you -

Tin Man

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!

Dorothy

Oh! Toto too?

Glinda

Toto too.

Dorothy

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'.
