Quotes 

  • Jack Pumpkinhead : If his brain's ran down, how can he talk?

    Dorothy : It happens to people all the time, Jack.

  • Mombi III : [tilting Dorothy's chin upwards to examine her face]  You will be rather attractive... one day. Not at all beautiful, you understand, but you have a certain... prettiness. Different from my other heads. I believe I'll lock you in the tower for a few years until your head is ready, and then I'll take it.

    Dorothy : [jerks her head out of Mombi's grasp]  I believe you will NOT!

  • [regarding headless statues] 

    Dorothy : Look, Billina, these ones have lost their heads.

    Billina : Now, that's what I call just plain carelessness

  • Billina : Some place for a chicken coop! How big is this pond anyway?

    Dorothy : I don't think it's a pond, Billina.

    [gets up and looks around] 

    Dorothy : I guess it is a pond.

    Billina : Hmm, told you so.

    Dorothy : Where did all the rest of the water go?

    Billina : Where did Kansas go? Ohh, this is some place for a chicken coop.

    Dorothy : When did you learn to talk anyway? I thought hens could only cluck and cackle.

    Billina : Strange, ain't it? How's my grammar?

  • Nurse Wilson : Lie down.

    Dorothy : I'd like to sit up, if I may.

    Nurse Wilson : What did your aunt tell you?

    Dorothy : To do what you told me, Miss Wilson.

    Nurse Wilson : Then, lie down.

    [the attendants are strapping Dorothy to the stretcher] 

    Dorothy : Why do you have to tie me down?

    Nurse Wilson : So that you don't fall off.

    Dorothy : I came all the way from the farm on a buggy and I didn't fall off.

    [They start to wheel Dorothy down the hall] 

    Dorothy : Did I hear somebody scream earlier?

    Nurse Wilson : No.

    [They wheel Dorothy through some double doors. Dr. Worley is adjusting his machine] 

    Dr. Worley : Hello, Dorothy. How are you?

    Dorothy : I wish I wasn't tied down.

    Dr. Worley : [chuckles]  Nothing to worry about.

  • Ozma : Why did they bring you here, Dorothy?

    Dorothy : Because I can't sleep, and I talk about a place that I've been to, but nobody believes that it exists.

  • Dorothy : [after freeing Ozma from the mirror]  You're so beautiful. What's your name?

    Ozma : Ozma.

    Jack Pumpkinhead : MOM! MY REAL MOM!

    [Jack faints] 

    Mombi III : She is Ozma, queen and rightful ruler of Oz. Her father was king of Oz before the Wizard came.

    Mombi II : Ozma grew up as Mombi's slave. But when the Nome King promised Mombi thirty beautiful heads if she kept Ozma a secret, she enchanted her into the mirror.

    Ozma : I forgive Mombi. Dorothy has punished her by removing her magical powers, and a witch with no magic is a miserable creature indeed.

    Mombi : [in a cage, bitterly]  And that's a fact.

  • Dr. Worley : And how did you come back from... Oz?

    Dorothy : With my ruby slippers.

    Dr. Worley : How did they work?

    Dorothy : You put them on and you click your heels three times, and you say "There's no place like home".

    Dr. Worley : Dorothy, where are those slippers now?

    Dorothy : I lost them. They fell off on the way back.

  • Dorothy : This is the old house! The one the tornado blew away. This is how I got into Oz the first time. That used to be my bedroom, and in there was the kitchen... And that's where I landed on the Wicked Witch of the East. But where all the munchkins?

  • Dorothy : Oh no...

    Billina : That's just a yellow brick.

    Dorothy : No, Billina. You don't understand. This *was* the yellow brick road. It leads to the Emerald City!

  • Lead Wheeler : You have to come out sooner or later. And when you do, we'll tear you into little pieces and throw you in the deadly desert!

    Dorothy Gale : I haven't done anything to you.

    Lead Wheeler : Isn't that a *stolen* lunch pail in your hand? Isn't that a chicken in there with you? The Nome King doesn't allow chickens anywhere in Oz!

    Dorothy Gale : Who's the Nome King?

    Lead Wheeler : Who is the Nome King?

    [laughs hysterically] 

  • Dorothy : [On her final guess Dorothy is about to guess on a bird statue, but then spots and emerald and chooses that instead]  Oz!

    Scarecrow : [Restored from ornament form]  Dorothy!

    The Nome King : [In his throne room the Nome King hears the echo of the scarecrow saying "Dorothy"]  Smudge and blazes!

    Dorothy : [Back in ornament room]  Scarecrow!

    Scarecrow : Dorothy.

    [the two embrace] 

    Dorothy : You were green.

    Scarecrow : What?

    Dorothy : You were a green ornament.

    Scarecrow : I was?

    Dorothy : Maybe people from Oz turn into green ornaments.

  • Dorothy : You're so beautiful. What's your name?

    Ozma : Ozma.

    Jack Pumpkinhead : MOM! My *real* mom!

    [he faints into the crowd] 

  • Gump : The last thing I remember is walking through the forest and hearing a loud noise. Now, here I am flying through the air. What am I anyway?

    Dorothy : You're a... a thing, with a Gump's head on it. We built you and brought you to life so you can take us to the Nome King; to rescue the Scarecrow.

  • Dorothy : Patented Clockwork Mechanical Man. Does everything but live. For Thinking, wind number 1 under left arm. For Speaking, wind number 2 under right arm. For Walking & Action, wind number 3, middle of back. Guaranteed to work perfectly for a thousand years.

    Billina : Aww, you don't believe that do ya?

    Dorothy : I don't know. I'll wind him up and we'll see.

  • Jack Pumpkinhead : [everybody's falling off the Gump and out of the sky]  I'm sorry, Mom!

    Dorothy : It's okay, Jack, it can't be helped now!

  • Dorothy : [On her final guess Dorothy is about to guess on a bird statue, but then spots an emerald and chooses that instead]  Oz!

    Scarecrow : [Restored from ornament form]  Dorothy!

    Nome King : [In his throne room the Nome King hears the echo of the scarecrow saying "Dorothy"]  Smudge and blazes!

    Dorothy : [Back in ornament room]  Scarecrow!

    Scarecrow : Dorothy.

    [the two embrace] 

    Dorothy : You were green.

    Scarecrow : What?

    Dorothy : You were a green ornament.

    Scarecrow : I was?

    Dorothy : Maybe people from Oz turn into green ornaments.

  • Dorothy : [as she puts on the Ruby Slippers]  AAAHH!

    Billina : Hurry, Dorothy!

    Dorothy : I am! I am!

    Scarecrow : Oh no! What are we going to do now?

    Dorothy : I wish all of us from Oz to return there safely and for the Emerald City and all the people in it to be restored to life

    Dorothy : [Clicks her heels together three times. The group are transported to the Emerald City] 

  • Lead Wheeler : Please, let me go. Please, please, let me go. Pleeaase, let me go! Let me go!

    Dorothy : All right Tik Tok, let him go.

    Tik-Tok : [to Wheeler]  Behave yourself now!

    Lead Wheeler : I WILL behave! I'll-I'll behave!

    [Tik Tok lets him go] 

    Lead Wheeler : [Wheeler laughs]  Behave!

    [skates away] 

    Lead Wheeler : [laughing]  Behave... I'll be... - ohhps!

    [falls] 

    Lead Wheeler : [laughing]  YOU BEHAVE!

    [laughing] 

  • Dorothy : It's the Tin Woodsman. oh, Tin Woodsman, what's happened to you? what's happened to everybody?

  • Dorothy : Oh, Cowardly Lion! oh, Cowardly Lion. what's happened to you?
