[Over the Rainbow]
Henry Gale, Is that you sulking by the Barn?
Henry Gale: I never sulked in my Life Ms. Gulch, And I ain’t about to start now
I want to see your wife straight away, it’s about Dorothy
Uncle Henry: Dorothy, what has Dorothy done?
What’s she done? I’m all but lame from the bite on my leg!
Uncle Henry: You mean she bit you?
No. Her DOG.
AUNT EM: Afternoon Ms. Gulch. I made a fresh batch of cookies if you have a mind to sit a while.
I’m afraid I have no appetite Ms. Gale. Indeed I’m so shaken by the ferocious attack of your niece’s viscous dog, I may never eat again.
AUNT EM: I’m sure if Dorothy has upset you in an way she will apologize as best as she can
It’s gone beyond Apologies Ms. Gale. I have laid a complaint with the County Sheriff
AUNT EM; Dorothy, Miss Gulch seems very upset
That dog is a MENACE to the community.
DOROTHY: that’s not true!
As an act of service, young woman, I’m taking the dog to the sheriff to make sure he’s destroyed.
AUNT EM: You hear how sorry the child is. Surely if she promises to give your place a wide berth…..
If you don’t hand over the dog this instant, I’ll bring a damage suit that will destroy your entire farm! There’s a law protecting folks against dogs that BITE.
AUNT EM: How would it be if she keeps him tied up? He’s real friendly…With friendly people that is
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.
AUNT EM: We can’t go against the law Dorothy, I’m afraid poor toto will have to go.
NOW you’re seeing reason.
DOROTHY: Don’t let her take him! Please!
STOP HER!
AUNT EM: Put him in the basket, Henry
THAT’s more like it.
UNCLE HENRY: You better pedal your carcass off of my land
Oh, I don’t take kindly to that kind of speak, Henry Gale, Just remember, I have friends in high places
DOROTHY: And we’re never, EVER, coming back
Here Doggie Doggie…WHERE IS THE DRATTED ANIMAL? Here doggie doggie…..
UNCLE HENRY: I asked you to get off of my land, Miss Gulch
I did, but the dog got away
UNCLE HENRY: He couldn’t have enjoyed your company much
Where the little girl is, That’s where i’ll find the dog. Kindly bring her out here
AUNT EM: She ain’t in the house Henry and that fresh batch of cookies is gone . My picture is gone from the mantle
Sounds like you have a runaway on your hands. If she’s on the road, I’ll find her. And then I’ll take that dog back for good.
UNCLE HENRY: If you’re so anxious to have it, you should’ve looked after it better
Don’t blame me, the catch on the basket’s faulty. That’s the last time I buy anything from the charity bazaar.
GLINDA: She’s worse than the other one
WHERE”S MY SISTER?
GLINDA: Yonder she lies…
Where>
GLINDA: There
Who’s the smart alek that turned her into a house? Was it you, Glinda?
GLINDA: not the house…under the house
…Under the house?
DOROTHY: It’s my fault. I’m so sorry, My house dropped on her
You dripped your house…ON MY SISTER? how could anyone be so unbelievably clumsy???
