  • 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!
  • 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]
  • Auntie Em: Wake up honey. Dorothy, Dorothy dear, it's Aunt Em darling.
  • Dorothy: Oh, Auntie Em. It's you.
  • Professor Marvel: Hello there, anyone home. I just dropped by because I heard the little girl got caught in the big
  • [realizing Dorothy is fine]
  • Professor Marvel: well she seems alright now.
  • Uncle Henry: Yeah, she got quite a bump on the head we kind of thought there for a minute she was going to leave us.
  • Dorothy: But I did leave you, Uncle Henry that's just the trouble and I tried to get back for days and days.
  • Auntie Em: Their, their lay quiet now, you just had a bad dream.
  • 'Hunk': You remember me? Your old pal Hunk
  • 'Hickory': Or me, Hickory.
  • 'Zeke': You couldn't forget my face could you?
  • Dorothy: But it wasn't a dream, it was a place and you, and you and you and you were there.
  • Professor Marvel: Oh.
  • Dorothy: But you couldn't have been could you.
  • Auntie Em: But we dream lots of silly things when we.
  • Dorothy: No Aunt Em, this is a real truly live place. And I remember some of it wasn't very nice but most of it was beautiful but just the same all I kept saying to everybody was I want to go home and they sent me home.
  • [everyone is skeptical]
  • Dorothy: doesn't anybody believe me?
  • Uncle Henry: Of course we believe you Dorothy.
  • Dorothy: But anyway Toto, we're home. Home. And this is my room and you're all here and I'm not gonna leave here ever ever again because I love you all. Oh Auntie Em, there's no place like home.
  • Uncle Henry: Come on, everybody in the storm cellar!
  • Auntie Em: [panicked] Henry, help me, I can't find Dorothy, she's somewhere out in the storm!
  • Uncle Henry: Em, we can't look for her now! Come on, get in the cellar, hurry up!
  • Auntie Em: [screams] DOROTHYYYY!
  • Dorothy: Aunt Em, just listen what Miss Gulch did to Toto.
  • Auntie Em: [not listening] Dorothy, please, we're trying to count.
  • Dorothy: But Aunt Em, she hit him.
  • Uncle Henry: Don't bother us, honey. This old incubators gone bad and we're likely to lose some of our chicks.
