Miss Gulch
- Miss Gulch: [stopping bicycle and getting off] Gale?
- Uncle Henry: Well, howdy, Miss Gulch.
- Miss Gulch: [comes into the Gale's yard] I want to see you and your wife right away about Dorothy.
- Uncle Henry: Dorothy? Well, what has Dorothy done?
- Miss Gulch: What she's done? I'm all but lame from the bite on my leg!
- Uncle Henry: You mean she bit you?
- Miss Gulch: No, her dog!
- Uncle Henry: Oh, she bit her dog, eh?
- [Uncle Henry lets go of the gate, it hits Miss Gulch on the backside]
- Miss Gulch: [exasperated] No!
- [Dorothy watches the Wicked Witch melt]
- The Wicked Witch of the West: [her final lines] You cursed brat! Look what you've done! I'm melting! melting! Oh, what a world! What a world! Who would have thought a good little girl like you could destroy my beautiful wickedness? Oooooh, look out! I'm going! Oooooh! Ooooooh!
- The Wicked Witch of the West: You stay out of this, Glinda! Or I'll fix you as well!
- Glinda: Oh-ho-ho-ho, rubbish! You have no power here! Now begone, before somebody drops a house on YOU.
- [Wicked Witch glances nervously at the sky]
- The Wicked Witch of the West: Just try and stay out of my way. Just try! I'll get you, my pretty, and your little dog, too!
- The Cowardly Lion: I do believe in spooks, I do believe in spooks. I do, I do, I do, I do believe in spooks, I do believe in spooks, I do, I do, I do, I do!
- The Wicked Witch of the West: Ah! You'll believe in more than that before I'm finished with you.
- The Wicked Witch of the West: How about a little fire, Scarecrow? Crow!
- [she sets fire to his arm, Dorothy screams]
- The Scarecrow: Help, I'm burning, I'm burning!
- [Dorothy grabs a bucket]
- The Wicked Witch of the West: Don't touch that water!
- [Dorothy heaves the bucket at the fire, the water splashes the Witch]
- The Wicked Witch of the West: Aaagh! You cursed brat! Look what you've done! I'm melting! Melting! Oh, what a world, what a world! Who would have thought a good little girl like you could destroy my beautiful wickedness! Oh, look out! Look out! I'm going...! Ooooohhhhh, ooooooohhhhhhh...
- Dorothy: [Toto is held hostage by the Witch and one of her monkeys] What are you gonna do to my dog? Give him back to me!
- The Wicked Witch of the West: All in good time, my little pretty. All in good time.
- Dorothy: Oh, please give me back my dog!
- The Wicked Witch of the West: Certainly, certainly. When you give me those slippers.
- Dorothy: But the Good Witch of the North told me not to!
- The Wicked Witch of the West: Very well.
- [to Flying Monkey]
- The Wicked Witch of the West: Throw that basket in the river and drown him!
- Dorothy: NO! No no, here... you can have your old slippers, but give me back Toto!
- The Wicked Witch of the West: That's a good little girl. I knew you'd see reason.
- [stooped to take the shoes but fire leaps out and burns her]
- The Wicked Witch of the West: Aagh!
- Dorothy: Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't do it! Can I still have my dog?
- The Wicked Witch of the West: No! Fool that I am! I should have remembered; those slippers will never come off, as long as you're alive. But that's not what's worrying me. It's *how* to do it. These things must be done *delicately*, or you hurt the spell.
- [Toto leaps from the basket and runs for it]
- Dorothy: Run Toto, RUN!
- The Wicked Witch of the West: Catch him!
- [Guards throw spears at Toto]
- Dorothy: Run, Toto, run! Run Toto, run! He got away! He got away!
- The Wicked Witch of the West: Which is more than you will! Drat you and your dog! You've been more trouble to me than you're worth one way or another, but it'll soon be over now!
- [grabs an hourglass and turns it over]
- The Wicked Witch of the West: See that? That's how much longer you've got to be alive! And it isn't long, my pretty, it isn't long! I can't wait forever to get those shoes!
- The Tin Man: Where do we go now?
- The Cowardly Lion: Yeah...
- [Toto barks]
- The Scarecrow: There!
- [they follow Toto up the stairs, he scratches at the door to the room with Dorothy]
- The Scarecrow: Wait, we better make sure. Dorothy, are you in there? It's us!
- Dorothy: [running to the door] Yes! It's me! She locked me in!
- The Cowardly Lion: Come on! We gotta get her out! Open the door!
- Dorothy: Oh hurry, please, hurry! The hourglass is almost empty!
- The Tin Man: Stand back!
- [he takes his axe to the door; it swings open just as the last sand trickles away]
- Dorothy: Oh! Oh Toto! Oh I knew you'd come! Oh Lion! Tin Man! You found my doggie!
- The Scarecrow: Hurry! We've got no time to lose!
- [they race down the stairs; the doors bang shut on them]
- The Wicked Witch of the West: [cackling] Leaving so soon? I wouldn't hear of it! Why, my little party's just beginning!
- The Wicked Witch of the West: Who killed my sister? Who killed the Witch of the East? Was it you?
- Dorothy: No. No, it was an accident! I didn't mean to kill anybody!
- The Wicked Witch of the West: Well, my little pretty, I can cause accidents, too!
- Miss Gulch: If you don't hand over that dog, I'll bring a damage suit that'll take your whole farm! There's a law protecting folks against dogs that bite!
- Auntie Em: How would it be if she keeps him tied up? He's really gentle... with gentle people, that is.
- [Dorothy is brought to the Witch's castle]
- The Wicked Witch of the West: What a nice little dog. And you, my dear, what an unexpected pleasure. It's so kind of you to want to visit me in my loneliness.
- The Wicked Witch of the West: And now, my beauties, something with poison in it, I think. With poison in it, but attractive to the eye, and soothing to the smell.
- [cackles]
- The Wicked Witch of the West: Poppies... Poppies. Poppies will put them to sleep. Sleeeeep. Now they'll sleeeeep!
- The Wicked Witch of the West: The last to go will see the first three go before her. And her mangy little dog too.
- The Wicked Witch of the West: Helping the little lady along are you, my fine gentlemen? Well stay away from her!
- [points to Scarecrow]
- The Wicked Witch of the West: Or I'll stuff a mattress with you!
- [to Tin Man]
- The Wicked Witch of the West: And you! I'll use you for a beehive. Here Scarecrow, wanna play ball?
- [throws a ball of fire at Scarecrow who yelps and jumps back; Tin Man smothers it with his funnel hat]
- Dorothy: I'm frightened, Auntie Em! I'm frightened!
- [Auntie Em's image appears in the crystal ball]
- Auntie Em: Dorothy? Dorothy? Where are you? It's me, Auntie Em! We're trying to find you! Where are you?
- Dorothy: I'm here in Oz, Auntie Em! I'm locked in the witch's castle, and I'm trying to get home to you, Auntie Em!
- [Auntie Em's image fades out]
- Dorothy: Oh, Auntie Em, don't go away! I'm frightened! Come back! Come back!
- [the Wicked Witch's image appears in the crystal ball]
- The Wicked Witch of the West: Auntie Em! Auntie Em! Come back! I'll give you Auntie Em, my pretty!
- [cackling, to the audience, cackling again and the Wicked Witch's image fades out]
- The Wicked Witch of the West: [to the captain of the winged monkeys] Take your army to the Haunted Forest and bring me that girl and her dog. Do what you like with the others, but I want her alive and unharmed. They'll give you no trouble, I promise you that. I've sent a little insect on ahead to take the fight out of them. Ha-ha-ha-ha! Take special care of those ruby slippers. I want those most of all! Now fly! Fly! Bring me the girl! Fly! Fly!
- The Wicked Witch of the West: But that's not what's worrying me. It's how to do it. These things must be done delicately... or you hurt the spell.
- 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!
- Miss Gulch: That dog's a menace to the community. I'm taking him to the sheriff and make sure he's destroyed.
- Dorothy: Destroyed? Toto? Oh, you can't! You mustn't! Auntie Em! Uncle Henry! You won't let her, will you?
- Uncle Henry: [chuckles] Of course we won't. Will we, Em?
- Dorothy: Please, Aunt Em, Toto didn't mean to. He didn't know he was doing anything wrong. I'm the one that ought to be punished. I let him go in her garden. You can send me to bed without supper.
- Miss Gulch: [strictly pointly to Em] If you don't hand over that dog, I'll bring a damage suit that'll take your whole farm! There's a law protecting folks against dogs that bite!
- Auntie Em: How would it be if she keeps him tied up? He's really gentle... with gentle people, that is.
- Miss Gulch: 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.
- Uncle Henry: Uhh... yeah...
- Auntie Em: Now, we can't go against the law, Dorothy. I'm afraid poor Toto will have to go.
- Miss Gulch: Now you're seeing reason.
- Dorothy: No...
- Miss Gulch: Here's what I'm taking him in... so he can't attack me again.
- Dorothy: OH, NO, NO! I won't let you take him! You go away, you... .! Oooh, I'LL BITE YOU MYSELF!
- Miss Gulch: Dorothy!
- Dorothy: You wicked old witch! Uncle Henry, Auntie Em, don't let 'em take Toto! Don't let her take him... please!
- Miss Gulch: Here! I've got an order! Let me have...
- Dorothy: STOP HER!
- Auntie Em: Put him in the basket, Henry.
- Miss Gulch: The idea!
- Dorothy: Oh, don't, Uncle Henry. Oh, Toto! Don't...
- [Dorothy starts crying she looks to Aunt Em, then to Uncle Henry then turns and starts out, and runs out of the room]
- Dorothy: Oh! Are you all right?
- The Tin Man: I'm afraid, I'm a little rusty yet.
- Dorothy: Oh dear!
- Dorothy: [She oiled him some more] That was wonderful! You know, we were just wondering why couldn't you come with us to the Emerald City to ask the Wizard of Oz for a heart.
- The Tin Man: Well, suppose the Wizard wouldn't give me one when we got there.
- Dorothy: Oh, but he will! He must! We've come such a long way already.
- [the Wicked Witch of the West cackles madly as she stands on the roof of the cabin]
- The Wicked Witch of the West: You call that long? Why, you've just begun! Helping the little lady along, are you, my fine gentlemen?
- The Wicked Witch of the West: [to Scarecrow] Well, stay away from her, or I'll stuff a mattress with you!
- The Wicked Witch of the West: [to Tin Man] And you! I'll use you for a beehive! Here, Scarecrow. Wanna play ball?
- [the witch throws down a ball of fire to the ground which sets it on fire]
- The Scarecrow: Fire! I'm burning! I'm burning!
- [Dorothy screams in fright and Tin Man quickly puts out the fire with his funnel cap]
- The Scarecrow: [the witch cackles then she disappeared behind a cloud of red smoke]
