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.

The Wizard of Oz quotes
Page 4 of 6Why, 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.
I do believe in spooks! I do believe in spooks! I do, I do, I do, I do!
[waking up in the poppy fields during a snow shower]
Unusual weather we're havin,' ain't it?
Alright, I'll go in there for Dorothy. Wicked Witch or no Wicked Witch. Guards or no guards, I'll tear 'em apart. There's just one thing I want you guys to do...talk me out of it.
Let the joyous news be spread — The Wicked Old Witch at last is dead!
[singing]
Ding Dong! The Witch is dead.
Which old Witch? The Wicked Witch!
Ding Dong! The Wicked Witch is dead.
[singing]
You're off to see the Wizard
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
You'll find he is a whiz of a Wiz If ever a Wiz there was.
If ever, oh ever, a Wiz there was
The Wizard of Oz Is one because
Because, because, because, because, because...
Because of the wonderful things he does...

Not nobody, not nohow!
Wizard's Guard
Please don't cry anymore. I'll get you in to the Wizard somehow. I had an Aunt Em myself once.
Sign en route to the Witch's Castle: Witch's Castle, 1 mile. I'd turn back if I were you!
Hunk Now look it, Dorothy. You ain't usin' your head about Miss Gulch. Think you didn't have any brains at all!
I have so got brains.
Hunk Well, why don't you use 'em? When you come home, don't go by Miss Gulch's place. Then Toto won't get in her garden, and you won't get in no trouble, see?
Oh, Hunk. You just won't listen, that's all.
Hunk Well, your head ain't made of straw, you know.
Why, Zeke, you're just as scared as I am!
Hunk What's the matter? Gonna let a little ol' pig make a coward out of ya?
Hickory Look at you, Zeke, you're just as white--
Here, here, what's all this jabber-wapping when there's work to be done? I know three shiftless farm hands that'll be out of a job before they know it!
Hickory Well, Dorothy was walking along the--
I saw you tinkering with that contraption, Hickory. Now, you and Hunk get back to that wagon!
Hickory All right, Mrs. Gale. But someday, they're gonna erect a statue to me in this town.
Well, don't start posing for it now. Here, here, can't work on an empty stomach. Have some crullers.
Hunk Gosh, Mrs. Gale.
Just fried.
Hickory Thanks.
Hunk Swell.
Zeke You see, Dorothy toppled in with the big Duroc--
It's no place for Dorothy about a pig sty! Now, you go feed those hogs before they worry themselves into anemia!
Zeke Yes,am.
Auntie Em, really, you know what Miss Gulch said she was gonna do to Toto? She said she was gonna--
Now, Dorothy, dear, stop imagining things. You always yourself into a fret over nothing.
No--
Now, you just help us out today, and find yourself a place where you won't get into any trouble.
Miss Gulch Mr. Gale!
Howdy, Miss Gulch.
Miss Gulch I want to see you and your wife right away about Dorothy.
Dorothy? Well, what has Dorothy done?
Miss Gulch What's she done? I'm all but lame from the bite on my leg.
You mean she bit ya?
Miss Gulch No, her dog.
Oh, she bit her dog, eh?
Miss Gulch No!
