Manicurist in Emerald City: We can make a dimpled smile out of a frown.
Dorothy: Can you even dye my eyes to match my gown?
Manicurist in Emerald City: Uh-huh.
Dorothy: Jolly old town!
The Cowardly Lion: Come on, get up and fight, you shivering junkyard!
[goes over to the Scarecrow]
The Cowardly Lion: And put your hands up, you lopsided bag of hay!
The Scarecrow: Now that's getting personal, Lion.
The Tin Man: Yes. Get up and teach him a lesson.
The Scarecrow:
Well, what's wrong with you teaching him?
The Tin Man: Well, I hardly know him.
The Wizard of Oz: You are talking to a man who has laughed in the face of death, sneered at doom and chuckled at catastrophe. I was petrified.
The Wicked Witch of the West: And now, my beauties, something with poison in it, I think. With poison in it, but attractive to the eye, and soothing to the smell.
[cackles]
The Wicked Witch of the West: Poppies... Poppies. Poppies will put them to sleep. Sleeeeep. Now they'll sleeeeep!
Dorothy: I'm frightened, Auntie Em! I'm frightened!
[Auntie Em's image appears in the crystal ball]
Auntie Em: Dorothy? Dorothy? Where are you? It's me, Auntie Em! We're trying to find you! Where are you?
Dorothy: I'm here in Oz, Auntie Em! I'm locked in the witch's castle, and I'm trying to get home to you, Auntie Em!
[Auntie Em's image fades out]
Dorothy: Oh, Auntie Em, don't go away! I'm frightened! Come back! Come back!
[the Wicked Witch's image appears in the crystal ball]
The Wicked Witch of the West: Auntie Em! Auntie Em! Come back! I'll give you Auntie Em, my pretty!
[cackling, to the audience, cackling again and the Wicked Witch's image fades
out]
The Wizard of Oz: [booming voice] And you, Scarecrow, have the affrontery to ask for a brain, you billowing bale of bovine fodder!
The Scarecrow: Y-Yes... Yes, Your Honor... I mean, Your Excellency... I-I mean, Your Wizardry.
The Wizard of Oz: [booming voice] Enough!
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?
The Scarecrow: Then why didn't you tell her before?
Glinda: Because she wouldn't have believed me. She had to learn it for
herself.
The Tin Man: 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.
The Wizard of Oz: Can I believe my eyes? Why have you come back?
Dorothy: Please, sir, we've done what you told us: we've brought you the broomstick of the Wicked Witch of the West. We melted her.
The Wizard of Oz: Ah, you liquidated her, eh? Very resourceful.
Dorothy: Yes, sir. So we'd like you to keep your
promise to us, if you please, sir.
The Wizard of Oz: Not so fast, not so fast! I'll have to give the matter a little thought. Go away and come back tomorrow.
Dorothy: Tomorrow? Oh, but I want to go home now!
The Tin Man: You've had plenty of time already!
The Cowardly Lion: Yeahhh...
The
Wizard of Oz: Do not arouse the wrath of the Great and Powerful Oz! I said, come back tomorrow!
[Toto runs off to hide under a curtain]
Dorothy: If you were really great and powerful, you'd keep your promises!
The Wizard of Oz: Do you presume to criticize the Great Oz? You ungrateful creatures! Think yourselves lucky that I'm giving
you audience tomorrow instead of 20 years from now!
[Toto pulls the curtain aside, revealing the real Wizard of Oz as a short, middle-aged man with blond hair]
The Wizard of Oz: Oh... The Great Oz has spoken! Oh!
[the Wizard hides behind the curtain, even though Dorothy and her friends have seen the real Wizard]
The Wizard of Oz:
[stammers nervously] Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain! The great and - Oz has spoken!
Dorothy: Who are you?
The Wizard of Oz: I am the great and powerful... Wizard of Oz.
[his voice lowers at the end of his sentence]
Dorothy: You are? I don't believe you.
The Wizard of Oz:
[timidly] I'm afraid it's true; there's no other Wizard, except me.
The Scarecrow: You humbug!
The Cowardly Lion: Yeahhh!
The Wizard of Oz: [ashamedly] Yes, that's exactly so. I'm a humbug.
Dorothy: You're a very bad man!
The Wizard of Oz: Oh, no, my dear, I'm a very good man;
I'm just a very bad wizard.
The Cowardly Lion: [noticing the snow that fallen on the poppy field] Unusual weather we're having, ain't it?
Professor Marvel: Professor Marvel never guesses, he knows!
Dorothy: Do you suppose we'll meet any wild animals?
The Tin Man: Mm, we might.
The Scarecrow: Animals that eat... s-traw?
The Tin Man: Some, but mostly lions, and tigers, and bears.
Dorothy: Lions?
The Scarecrow: And tigers?
The Tin Man:
And bears.
