Welcome, most noble witch, to the country of the munchkins
A
Toto, stay close.
1
Q
Scene 1 Lights Up
A
Oh, Toto, I’m so scared. What is this place? Where’s Aunt Em? That cyclone picked the house up–and put it down, but where are we?
2
Q
We are grateful to you, noble witch…
A
I’m not a witch. My name is Dorothy. I come from Kansas.
3
Q
We thank you, noble Dorothy.
A
I haven’t killed anyone.
4
Q
Those are her feet with the sliver slippers.
A
Oh, dear! Oh, dear! The house must have fallen on her.
5
Q
Dorothy has killed the wicked witch of the east!
A
I tell you I didn’t mean to hurt her.
6
Q
The wicked witch held them in bondage for many years, making them slave for her day and night.
A
What is this place?
7
Q
Munchkin country…in the magical land of oz.
A
Oz? Is that anywhere near Kansas City?
8
Q
I’m afraid I don’t know where that is.
A
Who are you?
9
Q
I am called Glinda the good, witch of the north.
A
I never heard of a good witch. I thought all witches were wicked.
10
Q
Tell us, noble Dorothy, how did you come to this place?
A
There was a cyclone in Kansas, and before I knew what was happening, it picked up the house and carried it off into the sky. If the cyclone took us here, there must be a way to get back home.
11
Q
Yes…maybe our great wizard can show you the way.
A
Where is the city?
12
Q
It is exactly the center of things, and is ruled by Oz, the great wizard I spoke of.
A
How do I get there?
13
Q
However, I will use all my magic arts to keep you from harm.
A
Won’t you go with me?
14
Q
Put these on, Dorothy. And never take them off.
A
No, no. I’m afraid.
15
Q
I’ll make you pay for what you did to the wicked witch of the east.
A
It was an accident.
16
Q
Just you wait!
A
Oh, dear! Oh, dear!
17
Q
Pay her no mind. Remember, follow the yellow brick road.
A
Goodbye…and thank you. My, they certainly are unusual shoes.
18
Q
They certainly are.
A
Who said that?
19
Q
I did.
A
Where are you?
20
Q
Over here.
A
Did you speak?
21
Q
Certainly. How do you do?
A
Pretty well, thank you. How do you do?
22
Q
I’m not feeling well. My arms hurt.
A
Why don’t you put them down?
23
Q
If you will take them away I shall be obliged.
A
No trouble at all. How’s that?
24
I feel like a new man.
I don't believe I ever met a talking scarecrow before.
25
The magical land of oz is like that, I think.
You think? Don't you know?
26
If I go to the Emerald City with you, do you think the great wizard would give me some brains?
I don't know, but you may come with me, if you like.
27
If anyone steps on my toes or sticks a pin in me, it doesn't matter, for I can't feel it.
I never thought of that.
28
But if my head stays stuffed with straw, people will call me a fool.
I'll ask the wizard to do all he can for you.
29
He doesn't like me.
He's just not used to you, that's all. You mustn't mind Toto. He never bites.
30
And that's a lighted match.
Don't run far. Now which way is the road to oz, I wonder?
31
Oh, I know.
Well, which way is Oz?
32
This way. Or, maybe this way.
Oh, dear, oh, dear. You're not going to be much help.
33
I told you. I have no brains.
Toto will find the yellow brick road.
34
I hope that wicked witch of the west doesn't find us first.
Come along.
35
Oh, oh, I feel like I'm coming apart at the seams.
It takes time to learn how to walk. You'll get the knack of it. Take my arm. I'll help you.
36
Scene 2 lights up
(from off): Not so fast, Toto. We're having trouble keeping up.
37
I hope we'll find the wizard at home.
I hope we'll find the Emerald City first.
38
We shouldn't have any trouble if we follow the yellow bricks here on the ground.
That's good thinking.
39
Is it? I never know.
We ought to go and search for water.
40
Why?
To wash my face clean after the dust of the road. I'll want to drink some clean water, too. Otherwise, food will stick in my throat.
41
You have to sleep, eat and drink and wash.
It takes a lot of work to be a human being.
42
(low groan): oooooooooooooo.....
What was that?
43
I didn't hear anything.
I'm sure I head something.
44
(low): ooooooo....
There it is again. Oh, dear, oh, dear. I've never seen anything quite like this.
45
What is it?
It's a man...and he's all made of tin.
46
I've been groaning for more than a year, and no one has ever heard me before or come to help me.
That's terrible. What can I do?
47
There's an oil can at the foot of the tree. I'm rusted so badly that I can't move my joints to get it.
You poor thing.
48
Please hurry.
It would help if you moved out where the light is better.
49
I can hardly move.
Scarecrow will help.
50
Of course, of course.
You'll be feeling better in no time.
51
oooooo.....
What's first?
52
Oil my neck first--then the joints in my arms--and legs--Oh, what a relief.
Try and take a few steps. Oh, that's wonderful!
53
We're on our way to the Emerald city.
To see the wizard.
54
Why do you want to see oz?
I want him to send me back to Kansas, and the Scarecrow wants him to put a brain in his head.
55
Hmmm. Do you suppose the wizard could give me a heart?
Why, I guess so. It wouldn't hurt to ask.
56
I'll take a heart because brains don't make one happy.
I wish I knew which one of you was right. Let's leave it up to the wizard.
57
That's a good idea, Dorothy.
To the emerald city.
58
Scene 3 lights up
How long will it be before we meet the wizard, I wonder?
59
I'm not afraid as long as I have my oil can.
Locasta the Good said her blessing would protect me from harm. But, Toto! What will protect him?
60
I don't know, but I don't like the sound of it.
Maybe it was our imaginations.
61
I think I'm going to faint.
Oh, stop that! Stop that, you wicked lion! Don't you dare bite Toto! You ought to be ashamed of yourself, a big beast like you, trying to bite a poor dog.
62
I didn't bit him.
No, but you tried to.
63
You hurt my little nose.
Why are you making such a big fuss?
64
It stings.
You're nothing but a big coward.
65
But how can I help it?
To think of your striking a stuffed man, like the poor Scarecrow!
66
He did give me quite a fright.
Toto, go and get the Tin Woodsman.
67
I suppose so. I've never looked.
We're going to see the wizard of oz and ask for his help. Perhaps he could help you.
68
My head is stuffed with straw.
And I'm going to ask him to send Toto and me back to Kansas.
69
Or give me a heart.
Or send me back to Kansas.
70
Life isn't much without a bit of courage.
We've got a long way to go.
71
Let's skip.
We must have walked for miles and miles.
72
Oh, oh!
Goodness, how you carry on. What's the trouble?
73
I wouldn't want to be here at night.
Do you guys smell that?
74
It's nice....whatever it is.
It smells lovely!
75
I wouldn't do that if I were you.
Look at those flowers. Aren't they lovely?
76
If I had a heart, I could really appreciate them.
They're so bright...and they smell so sweetly.
77
Dorothy? Dorothy! Don't sleep here!
If I get back to Kansas, I'll plant some of these flowers. Auntie Em would love them. *Yawns* goodnight, goodnight.
78
Get up, Tin woodsman...wake up, cowardly ion...wake up, toto...wake up, scarecrow.
Goodness. I feel as if I've slept for hours.
79
After that snooze, I could walk all the day and all night.
This certainly is the strangest forest I've ever been in
80
What's wrong now?
Th lovely flowers. They're not here anymore.
81
Let's get out of here. I'm scared.
There's nothing to be scared of.
82
Who was that laughing?
I don't know, but it's gotten awfully dark.
83
My gooseflesh has goosebumps.
We'll take hands and walk slowly.
84
Was that tree there before?
Ow! Stop that! Run! Let's get out of here! Let go of me!
85
Scene 4 lights up
That was close. Where are we?
86
I think I see a road!
Oh, thank goodness!
87
Where did the road go?
Oh dear! It's a cliff!
88
The bridge must have fallen.
Whatever shall we do?
89
Who will go next?
I will! Thank you, ever so much, lion!
90
Oh no. I heard that this is where the Kalidahs live! I'm deathly afraid of them1
What are Kalidahs?
91
They are monstrous beasts with bodies like bears and heads like tigers, and claws so long and sharp they could tear me in two as easily as I could kill toto. I'm terribly afraid of the Kalidahs.
I'm not surprised that you are, they seem dreadful!
92
Quick, let us cross before they catch us!
Lion, lion! Come quick, you can get away!
93
Ah, I wish I had a heart to beat.
You will if we make it to Oz! I'm sure he can give you a heart, the lion some courage, and the scarecrow a brain!
94
And spineless.
Oh dear! How will we ever cross this?
95
Of course I can! It may take some time though, so you can all take a rest while I work.
That's very kind of you, Tin Man.
96
Do you think so? If only I had a heart, I would understand kindness again....
Don't be sad, Tin Man! We'll surely make it to Oz!
97
I certainly hope so!
I will rest my head now, tin man. Thank you for all of your help.
98
Dorothy, scarecrow, lion! Wake up! I've finished making the boat!
How wonderful! Thank you, tin man.
99
Of course.
There's the road! And look --a city! Could that be oz?
100
And my heart!
Oh Toto, we’ll see Kansas again! Let’s go!
101
Enter the throne room of the great and terrible oz!
Excuse me, sir, but are you the wizard?
102
Can't you see my uniform and rifle?
In that case, may we see the wizard?
103
We? You're quite alone.
My friends are outside.
104
You don't expect the wizard to go outside, do you?
Oh, no? I'll call them in. It's all right. You can come in.
105
Is that oz?
No, this is the guardian of the gates.
106
Maybe we shouldn't have come here to the emerald city.
Don't be silly. Doesn't the wizard ever go out?
107
He sits behind that screen.
What is he like?
108
Oz is so great a wizard that he can take on any form he wishes.
We never had anything like that in Kansas.
109
And some say he looks like a cat.
Hush, Toto.
110
Let's get out of here. Oh, oh, oh.
Courage, Lion, courage.
111
I know it. Oh, oh, oh.
You mean no one knows what the real wizard looks like?
112
Who the real oz is, when he is in his own form, no living person can tell.
Then he really is a great wizard.
113
Let's get out of here.
Why do they call his place the Emerald City?
114
Silly child. Because everything is the color of green.
It doesn't look green to me.
115
That's because you're not looking through green-colored glasses.
You're right. Everything is green!
116
Why do you wish to see the terrible oz?
I want him to send me back to Kansas.
117
Oz could do all that easily.
Oh, that's wonderful. Hurray for the wizard!
118
He covers it with a golden plate to keep it from running over.
And can he send me back to Kansas?
119
Where is Kansas?
I don't know, but it's my home, and I'm sure it's somewhere.
120
I'll deliver your requests.
For a while I was afraid we'd never make it to the Emerald City. My...these glasses do make a difference.
121
Are you really going to look on the terrible face of Oz?`
I haven't come all this way to turn my back on him.
122
Look...the guardian of the gates is coming back.
Will the wizard see us?
123
The great and terrible Oz will see you.
Where is he?
124
Who are you, and why do you seek me?
I am Dorothy, the Small and Meek.
125
Where did you get the silver slippers?
I got them from the wicked witch of the east when my house fell on her. Oh, please, Your Honor, send me back to Kansas where my Aunt Em is. I'm sure she'll be worried over my being away so long.
126
Oh, Oh, Oh!
We've got to help him.
127
Speak!!!
Go on. Tell him what you want.
128
Enough!!!
Then you'll grant our requests?
129
If you wish me to use my magic powers to help you, you must help me.
But how?
130
Destroy the power of the wicked witch of the west!
But, that's impossible! Not the wicked witch!! How can we do that?
131
You destroyed the witch of the east, you can destroy the witch of the west!
If you can't destroy the power of the wicked witch, how do you expect us to do it?
132
That's your problem.
That's not fair!
133
I'll never feel the beat of my own heart.
Now, stop it, all of you. It isn't going to do any good to stand around and complain. That never gets anything done.
134
But what are we going to do?
There's only one thing we can do.
135
What?
Find the wicked witch of the west and destroy her power.
136
It's beyond the land of the winged monkeys!
I know you're all afraid and don't want to go...
137
I don't even like to think about it.
Well, then, I'll have to go alone, I guess.
138
No, Dorothy, you can't. Don't do it.
Point the way.
