Wizard of Oz Act 3 Flashcards
Act 3 Scene 1 lights up
How…how will I ever get back to Kansas now?
We son’t leave you alone.
You’re all lovely friends, and I thank you for that. But…I want to go home. I miss Kansas, I miss Aunt Em, and even the dismal farm.
Dorothy….
I just want to go home.
I’m afraid even I can’t answer that. I know that the monkeys can’t carry us across the desert, but perhaps there is another…..wait!
sniffle What is it?
Perhaps the guardian of the gates knows something about your home!
You really think he might?
The good witch of the south. She rules over the quadlings, and is said to be a most kind and powerful lady.
Will she really be able to get me back to Kansas?
Perhaps she would know of this Kansas place you speak of.
Oh, that would be wonderful.
Thank you, guardian.
Thank you so much, Guardian. If it really brings me home….I can’t thank you enough.
Let’s go then! My new heart is beating fast with the spirit of adventure.
Oh, how wonderful!
And I will be sure to protect you all from any foes we may face.
Goodbye, Guardian!
I will!
You know, lion, tin man, scarecrow, you really are all great friends. I’m so lucky to have met you all.
And us to you. Me too. the same. Etc. Etc.
Wait just a moment! What is that?
This strikes me as quite odd.
I agree. Ceramic? What is that doing in the woods?
What do you mean, oh my? Oh my!
Climbs ladder Whatever could they–Oh, my! Toto, what is this?
China is most fragile…like a teacup or a saucer, or a dainty figurine on a shelf. Do not chip me, do not break me, leave me quite alone.
We must be getting closer to Glinda’s Palace.
I no longer fear anything like the fighting trees.
That’s good lion!
I’m pleased to see someone else can be foolish. I thought I was the only one.
We’re on our way to Glinda’s Palace.
Then you are most unusual.
No more unusual than you are. Why, you’re the first talking plate I’ve ever met. Isn’t she pretty?
I’m not a plate. I’m a princess. Anyway, you’re getting too close. Stand back. Do not chip me, do not break me, leave me quite alone. If you break me, I will have to be mended, thus marring my delicate beauty.
I’d like to take you back to Kansas with me and stand you on Aunt Em’s mantle.
You see, here in our own country, we live contentedly and can talk and move around as we please. It isn’t much fun sitting on mantles and cabinets and dining room tables.
We wouldn’t make you unhappy for all the world. Would we?
Why do you want to go to Glinda’s Palace?
I need to get home to Kansas.
You can’t go through the Dainty china country unless you have my permission.
Please.
