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!
-
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.
-
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 : You're so beautiful. What's your name?
Ozma : Ozma.
Jack Pumpkinhead : MOM! My *real* mom!
[he faints into the crowd]
-
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.
-
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.
