Return to Oz

Edit
Shared with you
  • 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]
  • Jack Pumpkinhead: If his brain's ran down, how can he talk?
  • Dorothy: It happens to people all the time, Jack.
  • Nome Messenger: Your Majesty! She has returned to Oz!
  • Nome King: Good, good. Keep an eye on her.
  • [the Nome Messenger pauses, hesitant]
  • Nome King: Well, what's the matter? What is it?
  • Nome Messenger: She has a... chicken with her.
  • Nome King: A chicken?
  • 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!
  • Tik-Tok: I have always valued my lifelessness.
  • [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.
  • Billina: We come all this way to see a bunch a stiffs.
  • 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.
  • Jack Pumpkinhead: [the trio are assembling the Gump together, but Tik-Tok's brains are running down] Here's a broom Tik-Tok, it'll make a great tail.
  • Tik-Tok: Excellent. Now we must Gump the head at the front, and tie Jack's feet together.
  • Jack Pumpkinhead: Right. Tie my feet together
  • [Jack does so]
  • Tik-Tok: Bring that mantlepiece to the desk, and then annoint the palms!
  • Jack Pumpkinhead: Right, annoint the-
  • [Jack falls due to his feet being tied]
  • Tik-Tok: That is right Jack. Left, right, wrong.
  • Jack Pumpkinhead: What are you talking about Tik-Tok?
  • Tik-Tok: Little girl, squaking eggs, make chicken fly the coop.
  • Billina: Coop?
  • 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.
  • Billina: What is this, a man or a melon?
  • Jack Pumpkinhead: A pumpkin, if you please.
  • 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!
  • Nome King: Don't you... know that... eggs are... poison?
  • Billina: Poison, indeed!
  • Nome King: Poison... poison to... nomes.
  • 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]

  • The Nome King: There's no place like home.
  • Dorothy: You're so beautiful. What's your name?
  • Ozma: Ozma.
  • Jack Pumpkinhead: MOM! My *real* mom!
  • [he faints into the crowd]
  • Lead Wheeler: You'll be sorry for treating me like this! I'm a TERRIBLE person!
  • Tik-Tok: I am only a machine. So I can not be sorry or happy, no matter what happens.
  • Tik-Tok: These Wheelers can be tricky customers.
  • 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.

  • Jack Pumpkinhead: [to Dorothy] May I call you Mom, even if it isn't so?
