Miss Gulch That dog's a menace to the community. I'm taking him to the sheriff to make sure he's destroyed.
Destroyed? Toto? Oh, you can't! You mustn't! Auntie Em, Uncle Henry, you won't let her, will ya?
Course we won't. Will we, Em?
Please, Aunt Em. Toto didn't mean to. He didn't know he was doing anything wrong. I'm the one that ought to be punished. I let him go in her garden. You can send me to bed without supper.
Miss Gulch If you don't hand over that dog, I'll bring a damage suit that will take your whole farm! There's a law protectin' folks against dogs that bite!
How would it be if she keeps him tied up? He's really gentle, with gentle people, that is.
Miss Gulch Well, that's for the sheriff to decide. Here's his order, allowing me to take him, unless you want to go against the law.
We can't go against the law, Dorothy. I'm afraid poor Toto will have to go.
Miss Gulch [holding up a basket]
Now you're seeing the reason. Here's what I'm taking him in, so he can't attack me again!
No, no, I won't let you take him! You go away, you, or I'll bite you myself!
You wicked old witch! Uncle Henry, Auntie Em, don't let her take him! [struggles with Miss Gulch]
Miss Gulch I've got an order!
Put him in the basket, Henry.
Oh Toto. [runs out, crying]
Miss Gulch The idea!
Almira Gulch, just because you own half the county doesn't mean you have the power to run the rest of us. For twenty-three years, I've been dying to tell you what I thought of you. And now, well, being a Christian woman, I can't say it!
Oh, house guests! And who might you be? Oh, now don't tell me. You're traveling in disguise, no, that's not right, I...you're going on a visit? No, I'm wrong, that's, uh, you're, uh, you're running away.
P Professor
Professor Marvel never guesses, he knows. Now why are you running away? No, no, no, don't tell me. Uh, they don't understand you at home, they don't appreciate you. You want to see other lands, big cities, big mountains, big oceans!
Why, it's just like you could read what was inside of me.
Why can't we go with you and see all the Crowned Heads of Europe?
Do you know any? Oh, you mean the thing. [gesturing to his sign] I never do anything without consulting my crystal first. Let's go inside, and I'll show you..This is the same, genuine magic authentic crystal used by the priests of Isis and Osiris in the days of the Pharaohs of Egypt, in which Cleopatra first saw the approach of Julius Caesar and Marc Antony. And so on and so on. Now, you, uh, you'd better close your eyes for a moment, my child, so I can be in better tune with the infinite. [looks through her basket] We can't do these things without reaching out into the infinite. That's all right now, you can open them. We'll look into the crystal. What's this I see? A house with a picket fence and a barn with a weather vane of a...of a... running horse.
I see a woman. She's wearing a polka-dot dress. Her face is careworn.
That's right. What's she doing?
Well I, uh, I can't quite see. Why, she's crying. Someone has hurt her. Someone has just about broken her heart.
Well, it's uh, someone she loves very much. Someone she's been very kind to. Someone she's taken care of in sickness.
I had the measles once and she stayed right by me every minute. What's she doing now?
Well, she's, uh...What's this? Well, she's, she's putting her hand on her heart. Oh, she's, she's dropping down on the bed.
Uh, that's it, the crystal's gone dark.
You don't suppose she could really be sick, do you? Oh, I've got to go home right away.
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.
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...
[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!
Keep tight inside of them. Their magic must be very powerful, or she wouldn't want them so badly.
[to Glinda, pointing]
You stay out of this Glinda, or I'll fix you as well!
[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!
Do you think if I went with you this Wizard would give me some brains?
I couldn't say. But even if he didn't, you'd be no worse off than you are now.
But maybe you'd better not. I've got a witch mad at me and you might get into trouble.
Witch? I'm not afraid of a witch. I'm not afraid of anything. Oh... except a lighted match. [indicates his straw stuffing]
I don't blame you for that.
But I'd face a whole box full of them for the chance of getting some brains! Look, I won't be any trouble, because I don't eat a thing. And I won't try to manage things, because I can't think. Won't you take me with you?
Hooray! We're off to see a Wizard!
[Dorothy tries to pick an apple, but the tree slaps her hand]
Ouch!
T Tree
What do you think you're doing?
We've been walking a long way, and I was hungry-- Did you say something?
T2 Tree #2
She was hungry!
T Tree
Well, how would you like to have someone come along and pick something off of you?
Oh, dear. I keep forgetting I'm not in Kansas.
Come along, Dorothy. You don't want any of those apples.
T Tree
You hintin' my apples aren't what they ought to be?
Oh, no. It's just that she doesn't like little green worms.
Why, it's a man. A man made out of tin!
[Dorothy squirts oil onto the Tin Man and his arm loosens and falls]
Did that hurt?
No, it feels wonderful. I've held that axe up for ages.
How did you ever get like this?
Well, about a year ago, I was chopping that tree, when suddenly it began to rain. And right in the middle of a chop, I rusted solid. Been that way ever since.
Well, you're perfect now.
Perfect? Bang on my chest if you think I'm perfect. Go ahead, bang on it.
[Dorothy bangs on his chest, and it resonates loudly]
Beautiful! What an echo!
It's empty. The tinsmith forgot to give me a heart.
You know, we were just wondering why you couldn't come with us to the Emerald City to ask the wizard for a heart.
But suppose the wizard wouldn't give me one once we got there?
Oh, but he will. He must. We've come such a long way already.
[the Wicked Witch appears on the rooftop of the Woodsman's cabin and cackles loudly]
You call that long?! Why, you've just begun! Helping the little lady along are you, my fine gentlemen? Well, stay away from her, [pointing to the Scarecrow] or I'll stuff a mattress with you! [toward the Tin Man] And you - I'll use you for a beehive. Here Scarecrow, want to play ball? [she hurls a ball of fire at the Scarecrow, who draws back in terror from the flames burning on the ground near him]
[The Tin Man quickly beats out the flames, as the witch disappears]
I'm not afraid of her. I'll see you get safely to the Wizard now whether I get a brain or not. Stuff a mattress with me, eh? [tries to snap his fingers defiantly, but his gloved fingers produce no sound]
I'll see you reach the Wizard, whether I get a heart or not. Beehive! Bah! Let her try and make a beehive out of me! [snaps his fingers, making a harsh "clank" sound]
Oh, you're the best friends anybody ever had! And it's funny, but I feel as if I've known you all the time. But I couldn't have, could I?
...
DS Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tin Man
[singing in unison]
We're off to see the Wizard, the Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
I don't like this forest. It's dark and creepy!
Of course I don't know, but I think it'll get darker before it gets lighter.
Do you suppose we'll meet any wild animals?
[nervous]
Animals... that eat... straw?
Well, some, but mostly lions and tigers and bears.
Lions and tigers and bears, oh my.
Put 'em up, put 'em uuuuuup! Which one of you first? I'll fight ya both together if you want. I'll fight ya with one paw tied behind my back! I'll fight ya standin' on one foot! I'll fight ya with my eyes closed! [To the Tin Man] Ooooh, pulling an axe on me, hey? [To the Scarecrow] Sneakin' up on me, hey? Why, gnong-gnong!
Here, here. Go away and let us alone!
Oh, scared, huh? Afraid, huh? How long can you stay fresh in that can? Ha-ha-ha-ha. Come on, get up and fight, ya shivering junkyard. [To the Scarecrow] Put your hands up, ya lopsided bag of hay.
Now that's getting personal, Lion!
Yes, get up and teach him a lesson.
What's wrong with you teachin' him?
W-w-w-ell, I hardly know 'im.
[Toto barks and yips at the Lion]
I'll get you anyway, peewee. [chases after Toto]
[Dorothy scoops Toto into her arms and slaps the Lion]
Shame on you!
[crying]
What did you do that for? I didn't bite him.
No, but you tried to. It's bad enough picking on a straw man, but when you go around picking on poor little dogs...
Well, you didn't have to go and hit me, did ya? Is my nose bleeding?
Well, of course not. My goodness, what a fuss you're making. Well, naturally when you go around picking on things weaker than you are. Why, you're nothing but a great big coward!
You're right. I am a coward. I haven't any courage at all. I even scare myself! Look at the circles under my eyes. I haven't slept in weeks.
Why don't you try counting sheep?
That doesn't do any good, I'm afraid of 'em.
That's too bad. [to Dorothy] Don't you think the wizard could help him too?
I don't see why not. [to the Lion] Why don't you come with us? We're on our way to see the wizard now...[pointing to the Tin Man] to get him a heart...
[pointing at the Scarecrow]
And him a brain.
I'm sure he could give you some courage.
Wouldn't you feel degraded to be seen in the company of a cowardly lion? I would.
Gee, that's awfully nice of you. My life has been simply unbearable.
Well, it's all right now. The wizard will fix everything.
G Gateman
[Reaching the gate into the Emerald City, Dorothy and her friends ring the bell. A Gateman appears through a porthole.]
Who rang that bell?!
G Gateman
Can't you read?!
G Gateman
It's on the door, as plain as the nose on my face! It's a [Realizes there is no notice] Oh-- Oh... [Hangs a notice on the door, then disappears]
AF All Four
[Reading the notice]
"Bell out of order. Please knock." [Dorothy knocks on the knocker, and the Gateman reemerges]
G Gateman
Well, that's more like it! Now, state your business.
AF All four
We want to see the Wizard.
G Gateman
[Nearly falls out of his porthole from shock]
The Wizard?! But nobody can see the Great Oz! Nobody's ever seen the Great Oz! Even I've never seen him!
Well, then — how do you know there is one?
G Gateman
Because he, uh... You're wasting my time!
Oh please, please sir. I've got to see the Wizard. The Good Witch of the North sent me.
She's wearing the ruby slippers she gave her.
G Gateman
Oh, so she is. Well, bust my buttons! Why didn't you say that in the first place? That's a horse of a different color! Come on in!
If you please, sir. We want to see the Wizard right away. All four of us.
G Guard
Orders are: nobody may see the Great Oz! Not nobody, not nohow!
Oh, but please. It's very important!
And I got a permanent just for the occasion!
G Guard
NOT NOBODY, NOT NOHOW!!!
G Guard
[About the Wicked Witch's recent message, "Surrender Dorothy"]
The Witch's Dorothy? Well, um, that makes a difference. Just wait here; I'll announce you at once. [Enters the Wizard's palace]
Did you hear that? He'll announce us at once! I've as good as got my brain!
I can faintly hear my heart beating!
I'll be home in time for supper!
In another hour, I'll be King of the Forest. Long live the King!
Wait a minute, fellas. I was just thinkin'. I really don't want to see the Wizard this much. I'd better wait for ya outside.
Oh, he's just scared again.
Don't you know the Wizard is gonna give you some courage?
[Shaking]
I'd be too scared to ask him for it!
Well, then we'll ask him for you.
Because I'm still scared. [He yelps]
Tell me when it's over... I wanna go home!
I am Oz, the Great and Powerful! Who are you? WHO - ARE - YOU?!
If you please — I am Dorothy... the small and meek. We've come to ask...
[cries out and runs back to the others]
Oh! Jiminy Crickets!
The Great and Powerful Oz knows why you have come. Step forward, Tin Man! [He obeys.] You dare to come to me for a heart, do you, you clinking, clanking, clattering collection of colligenous junk?!
Uh, yes-yes sir. Y-y-yes, Your Honor. Y'see, uh, a while back, we were walking down the Yellow Brick Road, and -
And you, Scarecrow, have the effrontery to ask for a brain, you billowing bale of bovine fodder?!
[He bows and approaches on his knees]
Yes, Your Honor-- I mean Your Excellency-- I mean Your Wizardry!
Enough! [Scarecrow retreats] And you, Lion... [Lion steps forward but is too frightened to speak] WELL?! [Lion faints, and the others rush to his side. Scarecrow fans him with his hand in an attempt to revive him.]
You should be ashamed of yourself! Frightening him like that, when he came to you for help!
Silence, whippersnapper! The Beneficent Oz has every intention of granting your requests. [Lion instantly regains consciousness and sits up.]
What's that? Huh? What did he say?
But first you must prove yourselves worthy by performing a very small task. Bring me the broomstick of the Witch of the West.
But, but, but, if we do that, we'll have to kill her to get it.
Bring me her broomstick and I'll grant your requests. Now go.
W-w-what if she kills us first?
