Dorothy enters
If were done, it were best it be done… equally on both sides
Well, well, well! House guest, huh? ha ha ha
Dorothy approaches
and who might you be? no, no, now don’t tell me. You’re… traveling in disguise. no, that’s not right. I … You’re… you’re going on a visit. No, I’m wrong. you’re… you’re running away?
How did you guess?
ha ha! Professor marvel never guesses. he knows, now why are you running away
why..
No, no now don’t tell me. they – they don’t understand you at home. they don’t appreciate you. you want to see other lands, big cities, big mountains, and big oceans. ha ha!
why. its just like you can read what was inside of me
it is my trade, my calling. see what it says on the side of my conveyance.
oh, toto that’s not polite! we haven’t been asked yet
ha ha he’s perfectly welcome! ha as one dog to another, huh? Here now lets see. where were we
oh please, professor, why cant we go with you and see all the crowned head of europe?
Do you know any? oh, you mean the thing… yes, well I .. I never do anything without consulting my crystal first. here sit right down here
find ball
that’s it
sit
just make yourself comfortable while I course out of the air, out of thin air… this very genuine, authentic crystal used by the priests of the Isis and Osiris in the days of the Pharaohs of Egypt, in which Cleopatra first saw the approach of Julius Caesar and marc Anthony… and… and so on and so on. Now then you hold out your hands to help me look into the future. Now, you … you’d better close your eyes, my child for a moment… in order to be better in tune with the infinite. We… we cant do these things without reaching out into the infinite. yes that’s… that’s all right. now you can open them. well gaze into the crystal. ah, what’s those i see? a house…with a picket fence.
that’s our farm!
oh, yes. there’s…there’s…theres a woman. shes… shes wearing a … a … polka-dot dress. her face careworn
That’s aunt em
yes. her…. her name is emily
that’s rights. what’s she doing
well, I … I can’t quite see. why, shes crying
oh
Someone has hurt her. Someone has just about broken her heart
why would anyone do that
I don’t know but its… its someone she loves very much: someone shes been very kind to: someone shes taken care of in sickness
I had the measles once… an she stayed right by me every minute
uh huh
but that was when I was very small. she doesn’t care about me at all now. and I don’t care about her
oh well that’s… that’s not what crystal says
they were going to kill toto and she did nothing to stop them
I don’t see any of that in the crystal. all I see is a woman who does the best she can and misses you something terrible
what’s she doing now
yes shes… what’s this? why, shes… shes putting her hand on her heart! shes… shes dropping down the bed!
Oh you… you don’t suppose she could really be sick, do you? oh! oh, I’ve got to go home right away!
but, what’s this? I thought you were going along with me!
oh no! no, I have to get to her right away. come one, toto! come on, come on! goodbye professor marvel, and thinks a lot!
Goodbye! safe journey! better get the horse under cover. there’s a storm blowing… a whopper. poor little kid. I hope she gets home all right
oh look at that, look at that, ooh- I want to go home
I am Oz, the great and powerful. who are you? who are you? who are you? who are you?
I - if you please, I - I am Dorothy… the small and meek. we’ve come to ask you …
Silence!
ohh – jiminy crickets!
the great and powerful oz knows why you have coe. step forward, tinman
oohhhhhh
you dare to come to me for a heart, do you? you clinking, clanking, clattering collecting of caliginous junk!
oohhh - yes… yes sir - yes, your honor. you see, a while back we were walking down the yellow brick road and
Quiet!
ohhhh!
and you scarecrow, have the effrontery to ask for a brain- you billowing bail of bovine fodder!
yes - yes, your honor - I mean, your excellency - I mean - you wizardry
Enough! uuuuuh - and you Lion
Well?
oh oh oh! you ought to 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!
he’s is?
but first, you must prove yourselves worthy by performing a very small task.
you name it and its half done.
bring me the broomstick of the witch of the west.
but if we do that, well have to kill her to get it!
bring me her broomstick and will grant your requests. now go!
but - but what if she kills us first?
I said… GO
fab 4 enter
Step forward if you dare. can I believe my eyes? why have you come back?
yes, sir. So wed like you to keep your promise to us - if you please sir
Not so fast! not so fast! I’ll have to give the matter a little thought! go away, and come back tomorrow!
please, sir. weve doe what you told us. we’ve brought you the broomstick of the wicked witch of the west. we melted her.
oh, you liquidated her, eh? very resourceful
yea
do not arouse the wrath of the great and powerful oz! I said come back tomorrow
If you were really great and powerful you’d keep your promises
do you presume to criticize the great ozz? you ungrateful creatures. think yourselves lucky that I’m giving you an audience tomorrow, instead of twenty years from now!
toto?
The great oz has spoken! now go!
toto, come out of there!
I said go!
oh! pay no attention to the man behind the curtain
the great and powerful oz - has spoken
who are you
we I - I am the great and powerful - wizard of oz
you are?
uh
I don’t believe you
no, I’m afraid its true. there’s no other wizard except me
you humbug… yeah
yes - that’s exactly so - I’m a humbug
oh - you’re a very bad man!
oh no, my dear. I’m a very good man. I’m just a very bad wizard
what about the heart you promised tinman
well i
and scarecrows brain?
why, anybody can have a brain-. that’s a very mediocre commodity. back where I come from we have universities - where me go to become great thinkers. and when they come out, they think deep thoughts and with no more brains than you have. but - they have one things you haven’t go - a diiploma.
There fore, by the virtue of the authority vestied in me by the univeristatus committeeatum e pluribus unum, I hereby confer upon you the honorary degree of THD
THD?
Yeah - that - that’s a Dr of thinkology
I’ve got a brain! how can I ever thank you enough?
Well, you cant. as for you, my fine friend, you are under the unfortunate delusion that simple because you run away from danger you have no courage! you are confusing courage with wisdom. back where I come from we have men who are called heroes. once a year, they take their fortitude out of the mothballs and parade it down the main street of the city, and they dhave no more courage than you have. But - they have one thing you haven’t got! a medal! Therefore, for meritorious conduct, extraordinary valor, conspicuous bravery against wicked withce , I award you the triple cross. you are now a member of the legion of courage
oh oh shucks, folks - I’m speechless!
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
But I still want one
back where I come from there are men who do nothing all day but good deeds. they’re called Phil..er..Phil..er…er.. good deeds doers and their hearts are no bigger than yours, but they have one things you haven’t got. a testimonial! Therefore, in consideration of your kindness, I take pleasure at this time in presenting you with a small token of our esteem and affection. and remember, my sentimental friend, that a heart is not judged by how much you love, but by how much you arfe loved by others
yeah
ah…
dorothy next
yes, dorothy
oh I don’t think there’s anything in there for me
well you force me into a cataclysmic decision the only way to get dorothy back to Kansas is for me to take her myself.
oh, will you? could you? but are you clever enough wizard to manage it?
child, you cut me to the quick! I’m an old Kansas man myself. premier balloonist pare excellence to the miracle wonderland carnival company. until one day, while performing spectacular feats of the stratospheric skill never before attempted by civilized man, the balloon failed to return to the fair
frightened were you?
frightened? you are talking to a man who has laughed in the face of death, sneered at doom, and chuckled at catastrophe. i was petrified. then suddenly the wind changed… and then the balloon floated down in the heart of this noble city, where I was instantly acclaimed oz, the first wizard deluxe!
deluxe - from the French, pertaining to luxury
well, there were a few luxuries went with the job, but I look it anyway retaining the balloon against the advent of a quick getaway. and the balloon is ready for the flight, and in that conveyance, my dear Dorothy, you and I will return to the land of e pluribus unum, step this sway.
Balloon
Citizens of oz, I, you r wizard per ardua ad alta, am about to embark upon a hazardous and technically unexplainable journey into the outer stratosphere.to confer, converse and otherwise hon-nob with y brother wizards. and I hereby decree that until that time, if any, that I return, the scarecrow, by virtue of his highly superior brains, shall rule in my stead, assisted by the tinman, by virtue o fhis magnificent heart, and the lion, by virtue of his courage! obey them as you would me. thank you my friends. and now I think its time to cast off. climb aboard Dorothy. climb aboard.
Don’t worry! Ill get hi for you!
Don’t let go the rope.
what?
this is highly irregular procedure.
here’s your dog.
this is absolutely unprecedented.
please, professor, you cant go without me
too late, my dear
you have to come back
I cant come back. I dont know how it works. goodbye folks
Goodbye! Goodbye! Goodbye
That idiot guard just ruined my exit.
Dorothy…Dorothy
Little girl! Little girl! I’d hate to think of the kid out all night in the storm
wed best get to town and notify the sheriffs
Wait
toto
there she is
Zeke, Hunk, hickory. shes over here! tell Emmie and bid her bring a blanket
Shes got a lump on her head like an ostrich egg but the skin ain’t broken
hello, oz
Oz? my first name’s chester, but you can call me whatever you like.
that’s just the trouble. and I tried to get back for days and days
Sounds like a bad dream
you kept rusting up, and you kept pulling your own tail, and … and you were a humbug
Well now, lets not get personal
