The Scarecrow: What about the heart that you promised Tin Man? Or the courage you promised Lion?
The Cowardly Lion, The Tin Man: And Scarecrow's brain?

The Wicked Witch of the West: Ring around the rosie, a pocket full of spears! Thought you were pretty foxy, didn't you? Well! The last to go will see the first three go before her! And your mangy little dog, too!

The Cowardly Lion: Shucks, folks, I'm speechless. Ha Ha!

The Gatekeeper: Who rang that bell?
Dorothy, The Scarecrow, The Cowardly Lion, The Tin Man: [all four together] We did!
The Gatekeeper: Can't you read?
The Scarecrow: Read what?
The Gatekeeper: The notice!

Dorothy, The Scarecrow, The Cowardly Lion, The Tin Man: What notice?
The Gatekeeper: It's on the door - as plain as the nose on my face! It... oh...
[does a tsking, expression, goes inside door for a moment. He hangs the notice and goes back inside]

Dorothy, The Scarecrow, The Cowardly Lion, The Tin Man: [Reading notice, all together] Bell out of order, please knock.
[Dorothy knocks the door and he opens the window]
The Gatekeeper: Well, that's more like it! Now, state your business!

Dorothy, The Scarecrow, The Cowardly Lion, The Tin Man: [all together] We want to see the Wizard!
The Gatekeeper: [gasps] The Wizard? But, nobody can see the Great Oz! Nobody's ever seen the Great Oz! Even, I've never seen him!
Dorothy: Well, then how do you know there

is one?
The Gatekeeper: Because, he... I... Oh, you're wasting my time.
[starts to close the window]
Dorothy: Oh, please. Please, sir. I've got to see the Wizard. The Good Witch of the North sent me.
The Gatekeeper: Prove it.
The Scarecrow: She's wearing the ruby slippers, she gave her.

The Gatekeeper: 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!

'Zeke': Listen, kid. Are you gonna try and let that old Gulch heifer try and buffalo ya'? She ain't nothing to be afraid of. Have a little courage, that's all.
Dorothy: I'm not afraid of her.
'Zeke': Well then, next time she squawks, walk right up to her and spit in her eye. That's what I'd do.

The Tin Man: Here, here. Go away and let us alone.
The Cowardly Lion: Oh, scared, huh? Afraid, huh? Ah, how long can you stay fresh in that can? Ha ha ha ha.

The Wizard of Oz: Do you presume to criticize the Great Oz? You ungrateful creatures. Think yourselves lucky that I'm giving you an audience tomorrow, instead of 20 years from now.

The Cowardly Lion: [singing] I'm afraid there's no denyin' / I'm just a dandy-lion / A fate I don't deserve / I'm sure I could show my prowess / Be a lion, not a mouse / If I only had the nerve.

Professor Marvel: As for you, my galvanized friend, you want a heart. You don't know how lucky you are not to HAVE one! Hearts will NEVER be practical until they can be made unbreakable.

'Hunk': Now look here, Dorothy, you ain't using your head about Miss Gulch. You'd think you didn't have any brains at all.
Dorothy: I have so got brains.
'Hunk': Well, why don't you use them? 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?

Dorothy: Oh Hunk, you just won't listen, that's all.
'Hunk': Well, your head ain't made of straw, you know.

The Cowardly Lion: [getting a panic attack walking into the Wizard's foyer] Wait a minute, Fellows. I was just thinking. I really don't want to see the Wizard this much. I'd better wait for you outside.
The Scarecrow: What's the matter?
The Tin Man: Oh, he's just a scared again.
Dorothy: Don't you know the

Wizard's going to give you some courage?
The Cowardly Lion: I'd be too scared to ask him for it.
[sobs]
Dorothy: Well then, we'll ask him for you.
The Cowardly Lion: I'd sooner wait outside.
Dorothy: Why? Why?
The Cowardly Lion: Because I'm still scared.

Dorothy: You ought to be ashamed of yourself, frightening him like that when he came for you to help!
The Wizard of Oz: [booming voice] Silence, whippersnapper! The beneficent Oz has every intention of granting your requests!
The Cowardly Lion: What's that? What'd he say?
Dorothy: Oh, come on.
[pulls

the Lion up]
The Cowardly Lion: Huh, what'd he say?
The Wizard of Oz: [booming voice] But first, you must prove yourselves worthy by performing a very small task. Bring me the broomstick of the Witch of the West.
The Tin Man: But if we do that, We'll have to kill her to get it.
The Wizard of Oz:

[booming voice] Bring me her broomstick, and I'll grant your requests. Now, go!
The Cowardly Lion: But... but, what if she kills us first?
The Wizard of Oz: [booming voice] I said GO!
[the Cowardly Lion jumps with fright and running of the Wizard's throne room, jumps out of the window]
