The Wiz (1978) - full transcript
Dorothy, a twenty-four-year-old kindergarten teacher, born; raised; and still working in Harlem, is celebrating Thanksgiving with her extended family, but she doesn't seem to be thankful for much in life. She lives a self-imposed sheltered life; she is shy and unfulfilled. Things change for her when she is caught in a snowstorm while chasing after her dog, Toto. They are transported to the mysterious Land of Oz, where she is informed that the only possible way to find her way back home is through the assistance of the powerful wizard in Emerald City. As she goes searching for him, she befriends some creatures who are facing problems in life just as she is. In their quest to find and get help from the wizard, they also face Evillene, the equally evil sister of Evermean, the wicked witch, whom Dorothy inadvertently killed when she arrived in Oz, and who may be their biggest obstacle in achieving their goals.
Hello, there.
This is my son.
Good to see you.
Hello, Gil.
How you doin'?
Dorothy, this here's
Gil Warren.
Gil Warren, hi.
lt's so good
to see you.
Don't worry, Gil.
She's just a little shy.
l got you.
Auntie, I brought
you some tea.
Look! Here they come!
Come on, they're coming !
Look!
(CHATTERlNG)
(CRYlNG)
(LAUGH lNG)
Move, now,
we're getting ready to
set the table, you all.
Take these checkers
someplace else.
Come on, sweetie.
Here, you take
these checkers.
Come on, Henry,
be careful, now.
Come on.
Take your
uncle's checkers.
Oh, man, you always drop
the checkers when l'm. . .
That's the way
you win games!
Why do you have to drop. . .
Toto! Toto. . .
There you go.
You're such a. . .
(lN DlSTlNCT CHATTERlNG)
(SlNGlNG) Put your arms
around me, child
Like when you
bumped your shin
Then you'll know
l love you now
As I loved you then
Though you may be
trying sometimes
and I'll need you
and you're not there
You know I may get mad
and turn away
But you know
that I still care
Don't lose the feeling
that we have
Though you're
growing older now
And l'm watching you grow
(CH EERlNG)
l know I make
you sad sometimes
And I see your feelings show
But one day I'll look around
And you will be grown
You'll be out in the world,
such a pretty girl
But you'll be on your own
And l'd like to know
it's there
The feeling that we have
Knowing that
you can come to me
Whenever you are sad
Child, l'd like to know
it's there
The feeling that we have
Don't lose the feeling
that we have
(SlNGlNG) Lose it, Iose it
l don't even know
the first thing
About what they're feeling
What am I afraid of?
Don't know what l'm made of
Can I go on not knowing?
Feeling. . .
Something tells me that
it's more than I can deal with
Though I never knew the song
Some words still catch on
Like caring
And sharing
Being together
No matter
Can I go on not knowing?
Don't know what l'm made of
Why am I afraid of
feeling?
Feeling. . .
lf I dared to take a chance
Would someone lead me?
MAN : (ON TV)
Emergency snow alert
is now in effect.
No automobiles
are to be driven without
snow tires or chains.
Winds up to 45 miles
per hour. . .
(TU RNS OFF TV)
That was a great
dinner, Emma.
(CH UCKLES)
That baby. . .
You're a grandpa.
Our daughter's fine.
But Dorothy. . .
Give it time, honey.
Give it time.
(CH UCKLlNG)
Those dishes ain't
gonna wash themselves.
Mrs. Warren's son
looks real fine,
don't he?
Aunt Em, please,
no more matchmaking.
Did you make the decision
about that new school yet?
lt's no decision to make.
But, honey, it's a chance
for you to teach
in a high school.
Get away from
that kindergarten
once and for all.
lt's more money.
But besides the money,
it's a chance for you to
be with older students.
Almost adults.
l like it with the kids,
Aunt Em.
Oh, I know you do, honey.
And you're a fine teacher,
but that's why
l think you'd enjoy
teaching high school.
Have a chance to
be with the students
for four years.
lt's such an important time
in their development.
l'm really happy
with the kids, Aunt Em.
But you've been there
for three years already.
lt's time you got
out of that sandbox
and into some new people,
new neighborhood.
Girl, do you know
you're 24 years old,
and you've never
been south of 125th Street?
Never been south
of 125th Street.
(LAUGHS) Well, you haven't.
Oh, here we go again.
Why do you get
me so worked up
that l'm beginning to sound
like a Jewish mother?
l can't see how going
south of 125th Street
ever made anybody's
life better.
And you're never gonna know
unless you try, are you?
Come on, Aunt Em,
let me do that.
Why don't you go and relax?
l can do. . .
Let me do that.
Listen, I know getting out
in that world ain't easy.
Leaving Uncle Henry
and me. . .
But we'll always be
here for you, Dorothy,
and whatever
your fears are,
well, they'll be defeated
just by facing up to them.
Now, you take that new job
and find a place
for you and Toto.
lt's time for you to
make a home of your own.
Toto! Oh, Toto!
Toto! Toto!
Toto!
(WlN D HOWLlNG)
Toto! Toto!
Toto!
(lN DlSTlNCT SCREAMlNG)
(SlNGlNG MELODlOUS TU N E)
(DOROTHY SCREAMlNG)
(TOTO WH lMPERlNG)
Toto, where are you?
Toto! Toto! Toto!
(WH lMPERlNG)
Toto. Toto.
Toto, Toto, Toto. . .
(ALL CHATTERlNG)
Where am l?
(ALL CHATTERlNG)
(CRYlNG)
(CHANTlNG)
ALL: Two, two, two. . .
Two, four, six, eight!
Who do we appreciate?
No! No!
Relax, mama.
Lay back, honey.
We just wanna lay
a little thanks on you.
What?
You know, heavy on
the gratitude department.
Gratitude? For what?
For curling the curse.
For leveling the leech.
For killing our oppressor.
(EXCLAlMS) I never killed
nothing in my life.
Never killed a point?
Never killed a pint?
A good story?
The umpire?
No!
Never killed no time?
(CRYlNG) No, I told you
l never killed
nothing in my life!
Well, then, I think
you just graduated
from the bush leagues
into the majors, girl.
Toto?
Can you dig this?
(DOROTHY GASPlNG)
Who is it?
Ain't no more "is."
Thanks to you, it's a "was."
(ALL CH EERlNG)
She was Evamean.
The Wicked Witch
from the East.
BOY: And they didn't call her
Evamean for nothing.
She was
the Parks Department
Commissioner.
Caught us painting on
her playground wall.
Turned us into graffiti.
And there we stayed.
Flat, splat and
stuck like that.
Doomed as cartoons forever.
Till you burned alphabet
through the sky
and ended the curse.
And the curseress.
Giving a new lease
on life to us,
the Munchkins.
Most recently referred to
as the cursees.
Toto.
Let's hear it
for super witch
and her wonder dog !
ALL: Two, four, six, eight!
Who do we appreciate?
Miss One!
(ALL CH EERlNG)
(MlSS ON E LAUGH lNG)
Come to mama,
you hot little digits!
Let me lay my
twenty-twenties on you.
Oh, how I love you.
Let me count the ways.
lnnumerable blessings,
countless felicitations.
Thank you beyond number
and additional good stuff!
l didn't mean to. . .
l didn't mean to kill her.
MlSS ON E: Oh, don't be at all
sixes and sevens, honey.
You did the world
a multitudinous service
by eighty-sixing old Evamean.
Bottom line, honey,
this chick put
the "ugh" in "ugly."
(ALL LAUGH lNG)
But she sure had
pretty shoes,
didn't she?
(EXCLAlMS)
(ALL MUTTERlNG)
l don't want these shoes.
l wanna go home.
Oh, I wouldn't discount
those shoes, honey,
and don't ever take them off
until you do get home.
Remember, Miss One told you.
Oh, pardon me.
Miss One's the name,
and if you haven't
guessed by now,
numbers is my game.
And now that you've freed us,
we can all go back to
running our business.
We can all go back to
running our business.
We can all go back to
running our business!
But where am l?
Where am l?
You're in Munchkinland !
The indivisible land of Oz!
Oz?
But where's my home?
Where's Aunt Em?
Where's New York?
New York?
433 Prospect Place.
(EXCLAlMS)
Four, three, three.
You wanna play
more than one
number today, honey?
l got a freedom special,
three numbers for
the price of one.
No, I don't wanna
play any numbers.
l just wanna get home!
Oh, well, now that old
Evamean's number's up,
that leaves only
three witches in Oz.
One, myself,
but my powers don't
amount to much.
And number two, Glinda,
the Good Witch of the South.
Oh, she's a real star,
but you can hardly
catch her in.
And number three,
the multi-horrored Evillene,
the Wicked Witch of the West,
(ALL EXCLAlMlNG)
Evamean's even-uglier sister.
But I don't think
it'd be a good time
to ask her for a favor,
so I figured the odds are
only the Wiz could cipher
how to get you back to. . .
Where'd you say
that place was?
The Wiz?
What's a Wiz?
What's a. . .
What's a Wiz?
(SN lCKERlNG)
Oh, darling,
he's the ultimate.
(ALL CH EERlNG)
The x-quotient,
the new math,
the common denominator,
the main man,
the head honcho.
Bottom line,
honey, numero uno.
(ALL CH EERlNG)
Where is he?
How do I find him?
Catch this number, honey.
(SlNGlNG) Sweet thing, Iet me
tell you about the world
and the way things are
You've come from
a different place
And I know you've
traveled far
Now that you've
told me what it is
l'd better point you
towards the Wiz
ALL: He's the Wiz
He's the man,
he's the only one
Who can give your
wish right to you
ALL: He's the Wizard
He'll send you
back through time by
running magic through you
All of the super power's his
Listen and I'll tell you
where he is
He's the Wiz
and he lives in Oz
ALL: He's the Wizard
MlSS ON E: There's the way
to the Emerald City
That's not too far, is it?
ALL: He's the Wizard
MlSS ON E: Just take
your dilemma, child
and lay it on the Wizard
He'll fix you a drink
that'll bubble and foam
And in a flash
you will be home
ALL: He's the Wiz
He's the Wiz,
he's the Wizard of Oz
He's got magic up his sleeve
ALL: He's the Wizard
And you know without
his help it would be
impossible to leave
Fantastic powers
at his command
(ALL WHOOPlNG)
And l'm sure that
he will understand
He's the Wiz
and he lives in Oz
(ALL CH EERlNG)
Sweet thing, let me
tell you about the world
and the way things are now
l'm gonna point you
towards the Wiz
(ALL WHOOPlNG)
ALL: He's the Wiz!
MlSS ON E: Fantastic powers
at his command
l'm sure that he
will understand
ALL: He's the Wiz
and he lives in Oz
Sweet thing, let me
tell you about the world
and the way things are
You've come from
a different place
And I know

Now that you've
told me what it is
l'd better point you
towards the Wiz
He's the Wiz
But how. . . How do I get
to the Emerald City?
Oh, just count your blessings
and cut your losses
and follow
the yellow brick road.
The yellow brick road?
ALL: Yeah !
The yellow brick road !
Toto!
MlSS ON E: Remember,
don't ever take those
shoes off
and watch out for
the poison poppies!
Wait.
(WlN D HOWLlNG)
Miss One?
Miss One!
(SlNGlNG)
There's a feeling here inside
That I cannot hide
And I know l've tried
But it's turning me around
l'm not sure that l'm aware
lf l'm up or down
Or here or there
l need both feet on the ground
Maybe l'm just going crazy
Letting myself get uptight
l'm acting just like a baby
But l'm gonna be. . .
l'm gonna be all right
Soon as I get home
(CRYlNG)
Soon as I get home
ln a different place
ln a different time
Different people around me
l would like to know
of that different world
And how different they find me
And just what's a Wiz?
ls he big, will he scare me?
lf I ask to leave
Will the Wiz even hear me?
How will I know then
lf I'll ever get home again
Here I am alone
Though it feels the same
l don't know where l'm going
l'm here on my own
and it's not a game
And a strange wind is blowing
l'm so amazed at the things
that I see here
Don't wanna be afraid
l just don't wanna be here
ln my mind this is clear
What am I doing here?
l wish I was home
l wish...
(CH UCKLlNG)
Wait! Mister,
please wait!
(CROW CAWlNG)
(lN DlSTlNCT CHATTERlNG)
(LAUGHS)
Succulent and divine!
Delicious and nutritious.
Brother crows,
this is good stuff, here!
l'm glad you fellows are
enjoying your breakfast.
Hey, fellows,
is today the day
you're gonna help me
get down from here?
CROWS: Help you down?
What is going down
in that hayloft
you call a head?
Didn't we tell you yesterday
and the day before that
and the day before that?
That you can't get down.
This is your life,
buddy, all hung up.
(CROWS LAUGH lNG)
Besides, Clyde,
us crows are just
thinking of you.
There ain't nothing
to get down for.
SCARECROW:
But I was just thinking. . .
Just once, fellas.
For a little while,
just to take
a walk in my garden.
Wouldn't that be
terrific, fellas?
Walk? You can't walk!
Why, you just a
straw paper dummy!
You're right, fellas.
l was just being selfish.
CROWS: And stupid, as usual !
But I was reading
this morning that most. . .
Oh, man !
Fellas, please!
Look, didn't we tell you
reading was a waste of time?
But Bacon, here, said. . .
CROW 1: Bacon?
Once over lightly, please.
"Knowledge is power."
See, and Cicero, he said. . .
CROW 2: Cicero-row,
row your boat. . .
He says,
"More men are ennobled
by study than by nature."
(CROWS MOCKlNG)
Hey, fellas.
No way.
Ain't no way.
And over here,
especially apropos
of my situation,
i.e. , stuck up
on this here pole.
"Do not accept any situation.
Question, argue and explore."
(CROWS LAUGH lNG)
CROW 2: Now,
who you gonna believe?
Mr. Nobody, on that
old piece of paper?
Fellas, please!
Or your good friends,
the crows?
Yeah, who have
dedicated their lives
to educating you.
Yeah, that's true.
Yeah.
Sounds to me, fellas,
like old garbage-guts, here,
done forgot the crow
commandments again.
Fellas, I did not forget
the crow commandments.
Please!
Run them by me.
Run them by me.
"Thou shalt honor all crows!"
Right on, right on !
Proceed.
"Thou shalt stop reading
all bits of paper
and literature."
Trash, trash !
And the most important one.
"Thou shalt never,
never get down off
of this here pole!"
CROWS: You got it, Clyde!
And the crow anthem?
l gotta sing
that thing again?
You gotta librett
it till you get it.
Elucidate.
Reiterate.
And syncopate.
(SlNGlNG) You can't win
You can't break even
and you can't
get out of the game
People keep saying
things are gonna change
but they look just like
they're staying the same
You get in
way over your head
and you only got
yourself to blame
You can't win, child
CROWS: You can't win, child
You can't break even
and you can't
get out of the game
You can't win
The world keeps moving
And you're standing far behind
People keep saying
Things'll get better
CROWS: Just to ease
your state of mind
So you lean back
And you smoke that smoke
And you drink
your glass of wine
Saying you can't win, child
You can't break even
ALL: And you can't
get out of the game
You can't win
You can't win, no way
lf your story stays the same
CROWS: You ain't winning
Oh, no
But it's nice to see you
l'm awfully glad you came
CROWS: Better cool it 'cause
it ain't about losing
Then the world
has got no shame
ALL: You can't win, child
Can't break even
Can't get out of the game
You can't win
You can't break even
Ain't the way
it's supposed to be
CROWS: You'll be spending
your little bit of money
While someone else
rides for free
CROWS: Learn your lesson,
refuel your mind
Before some turkey
blows out your flame
And you can't win, child
CROWS: No, you can't win
You can't win, child
CROWS: No you can't win
You can't win, child
CROWS: No, you can't win
You can't win, child
CROWS: No, you can't win
You can't win, child
You can't break even
And you can't
get out of the game
You can't get out of the game
You can't get out
(EXCLAlMS)
of the game
No, no
(LAUGH lNG)
l'll help you down.
CROW: What?
You will?
(CROWS MU RMU RlNG)
What's she doing here?
Hey, get her out of here.
Yeah.
(SHOOlNG)
Go on about
your business!
(SHOOlNG)
(EXCLAlMlNG)
Just hold on.
Now, this is just
an experiment.
Wait.
(SCREAMS)
(CROWS LAUGH lNG)
He ain't got no legs!
The results of
the first experiment,
subject is
a hopeless failure.
(CROWS LAUGH lNG)
You are not.
Yes, I am.
You're just a product
of some negative thinking.
First thing we have to do
is get rid of these crows.
Come on, Toto.
Sic them ! Get! Shoo!
Before I call the taxidermist,
you jive turkeys!
(CROW EXCLAlMlNG)
Good boy, Toto.
(SlGHS) We can go now.
You okay? Come on. Hey.
(SlGHS)
Oh !
l think l'm gonna
make it this time.
You sure are.
Just a little
self-confidence
and coordination,
and you're gonna be fine.
You mean, all this time
the only thing standing
between hanging up there
and living it up down here,
were those crows?
Well, they told you
you couldn't do it
and you believed them.
lf I only had a brain,
l would have figured
that out a long time ago.
There you go with that
negative thinking again.
Everybody has a brain.
Uh-uh.
Not me. Look.
Oh.
Garbage.
"lgnorance is
the night of the mind,
"a night without
moon or star."
Confucius said that.
l'm on my way
to find the Wiz.
He's gonna get
me back home.
Well, that's nice.
Thank you, and good luck.
(CROWS CAWlNG)
(STUTTERlNG)
l thought maybe. . .
Maybe he could
get you a brain.
(GASPS)
You think that he could. . .
Yeah, Toto and me,
we could sure
use some company.
Besides, you have
nothing to lose.
l don't, do l?
That was so smart of you.
l wish l'd thought of that.
lndications are it would be
very advantageous
for me to join you.
(LAUGHS) Good.
We only have one problem.
The Munchkins said to follow
the yellow brick road,
but I haven't been
able to find it.
Yellow brick road?
There it is!
Hey, wait! Wait!
Did you say,
"Yellow brick road"?
Yes.
SCARECROW: Look over here!
We don't need no cabs.
Say, what's your name?
My name is Dorothy.
Dorothy and Toto?
What intelligent names.
(CH UCKLES)
Okay, Dorothy and Toto,
seems like we're gonna
have to find our own
yellow brick road.
Ease on down.
Ease on. . .
Down the road !
There it is.
Ease on down.
Ease on down. . .
Down the road !
Oh !
(GRU NTlNG)
Don't you carry nothing
that might be a load.
There it is.
Dorothy! Look!
(EXCLAlMlNG)
(GASPS)
(CH UCKLlNG)
Ta-da!
(WHOOPlNG)
Come on, Dorothy!
Come on !
(WHOOPlNG)
BOTH : (SlNGlNG)
Come on and ease on down
Ease on down the road
Come on, ease on down
Ease on down the road
Don't you carry nothing
that might be a load
Come on, ease on down
Ease on down, down the road
Pick your left foot up
When your right one's down
Come on, legs keep moving
Don't you lose no ground
Just you keep on keeping
on the road that you choose
Don't you give up on walking
'cause you gave up shoes, no
Ease on down,
ease on down the road
Come on, ease on down
Ease on down the road
Don't you carry nothing
that might be a load
Come on, ease on down,

Down, down...
(WHOOPlNG)
Don't you carry nothing
that might be a load
Come on, ease on down,

Down the road
Ease on down, ease on down
Ease on down the road
(lN DlSTlNCT SlNGlNG)
(BOTH CHATTERlNG)
(LAUGH lNG)
Toto!
Ease on down, ease on down.
Ease on. . .
Ease on down the road.
MAN : Help! Help!
Help?
Where?
MAN : Help! Help!
Over here!
(CH UCKLlNG)
Help!
Hurry! Hurry!
Where are you?
MAN : Hurry, hurry, hurry.
Step right up
and save a life.
Oh !
(BOTH GASPlNG)
l'm in a little bit
of a squeeze, brother.
Can you give me a hand?
Dorothy.
(BOTH GRU NTlNG)
Oh, how terrible.
Don't move.
Don't worry,
l wasn't planning
any promenades.
We'll be right back.
(GRU NTlNG)
He's so brave.
He's probably in shock.
Oh, what I wouldn't give
to be in shock just once.
(GRU NTlNG)
l'm so. . . l'm so sorry.
No apology necessary.
l told you nothing hurts me.
l have no feelings.
(GRU NTlNG)
The genius who created me
only took care of my
dashing good looks,
my razor-sharp wit and
my irresistible attraction
to the wrong women.
What he forgot to add
was a heart.
But everyone has a heart.
Alas, everyone
but yours truly.
Hello?
(ECHOlNG)
Nobody home in Soulville.
(METAL CREAKlNG)
Rid of you !
Free from your
posterior prison,
you hulking she-devil.
(LAUGHS)
Don't hear you
laughing now.
We were abandoned here
when this park went eI foIdo.
Ah, it was a sad day.
There's not much amusement
to the closing down
of an amusement park.
But yours truly is
an old trooper,
and I quickly made
plans for the future.
But, alas,
l was felled by my
fourth wife, Teenie.
Crushed in my prime.
(CREAKlNG)
There. How does that feel?
But that's the whole
tragic point, my friends.
(SlNGlNG) What wouId I do
if I could suddenly feel?
And to know once again
That what I feel is real
l could cry, I could smile
l might lay back for a while
Tell me what...
What...
TlNMAN : What wouId I do
if I could feel?
What would I do
lf I could reach inside of me?
And to know how
it feels to say
"l like what I see"
And l'd be more
than glad to share
All that I have inside of here
And the songs
my heart might bring
You'd be more
than glad to sing
And if tears should
fall from my eyes
Just think of all the wounds
they could mend
And just think of all
the time I could spend
Just being vulnerable again
Tell me what...
CHORUS:
What, what would I do
Oh, tell me what...
What, what would I do
Oh, tell me what,
what would I do
What, what would I do
if I could feel?
(EXCLAlMS)
l'm just a miserable
hunk of junk. Me!
Once the fastest metal mouth
on the midway. Frozen.
lronically,
in a position I had
assumed all too often.
A seat cushion for Teenie!
(CRYlNG) Teenie,
Teenie, Teenie. . .
Dorothy, are you thinking
what l'm thinking?
You're so smart.
Teenie, Teenie. . .
You could come with us
to see the Wiz.
He's gonna get
me back home,
and he's gonna get
the Scarecrow some brains.
Maybe he could
get you a heart.
You're not just flimflamming
an old flimflammer, are you?
Could I come with you?
Of course.
"A threefold cord is
not quickly broken."
(CH UCKLES)
(GRU NTlNG)
What's wrong?
He rusted himself crying.
(MU FFLED)
Some oil. Oil !
What? What?
Oil ! Find some oil.
Oil ! Oil !
Some oil !
(SlNGlNG)
Slide some oil to me

l got no right to be
pretending to be the Wiz.
l've got nothing.
Hocus-pocus. Nothing.
l'm just plain
old Herman Smith
from Atlantic City.
Atlantic City?
Atlantic City?
You mean,
you're from New Jersey?
Mmm-hmm.
l'm just
a second-rate politician
from District 7.
"Public office
is the last refuge
of the incompetent."
Penrose.
lncompetent?
(LAUGHS) That's me.
l'm incompetent. So much so,
l could never get
elected to public office.
Not because I didn't try.
l tried everything.
Look, look.
l ran for any
and everything.
Alderman, councilman,
assembly leader.
l became a laughingstock.
l couldn't even
get on the ticket.
Finally, in desperation,
l ran for dogcatcher.
(BARKlNG)
l like animals.
Don't get me wrong.
l like animals.
l was at the end of my rope.
l plunged myself
into the campaign.
One desperate
grandstand play.
You know what I did?
l rented a hot-air balloon.
TlNMAN : Hot air.
That's a perfect
vehicle for you.
No, no, no. No.
lt was a beautiful
Fourth of July day.
l planned to fly
over the boardwalk
and the beach,
and throw my. . .
(EXCLAlMS)
Throw my leaflets
to the astonished
crowds below.
My motto was,
"Vote for Smith.
Your best bet to
catch that pet."
But just when I got
up in the balloon,
a terrible storm came up
and blew me into the clouds.
l got lost.
l landed here in Oz.
They'd never seen
a hot-air balloon
like mine before.
And I know I should have
told them the truth,
but they proclaimed me
the Wizard, (WH lSPERS)
and I needed the job.
(CRYlNG) And you mean
you sent us to kill Evillene
knowing we might
never come back?
She would've killed me.
She would've found
out I had no power,
and she'd have took over Oz.
That's no excuse.
Come on.
Please!
Please, don't go.
l live here all
alone in terror
that someone will find out
that l'm a fraud.
Please, just stay with me
for a little while and talk.
You can talk to me crazy,
call me names.
What's the matter?
Now I'll never
get my brain.
Nor my heart.
Or my courage.
But you don't
need them now
because you've
had them all along.
Scarecrow. Scarecrow?
You're the one who
figured out how to find
the yellow brick road,
and how to destroy Evillene,
and every smart
move we've made.
Didn't you? Didn't you?
And Lion,
you wouldn't even give up
when Evillene strung
you up by your tail.
And Tinman,
you have more heart
than anyone l've ever known.
Honest?
Yes.
You never needed anything
from the fake Wizard anyway.
(SlNGlNG)
lf you believe
within your heart
You'll know that
no one can change
The path that you must go
Believe what you feel
And know you're right because
The time will come around
When you say it's yours
Believe there's
a reason to be
Believe you can
make time stand still
You know from
the moment you try
lf you believe
l know you will
Believe in yourself
right from the start
You'll have brains
You'll have a heart
You'll have courage
To last your
whole life through
lf you believe in yourself
as I believe in you
What about you, Dorothy?
You'll never get home.
Me?
l guess you're stuck
with Toto and me.
(BELLS TlN KLlNG)
WlZ: lt's Glinda,
the Good Witch of the South.
She has great powers.
Hello, Dorothy.
Please. ls there a way
for me to get home?
Oh, Dorothy,
you were wise
and good enough
to help your friends
find what was inside
them all the time.
That's true for you, also.
Home?
lnside me?
l don't understand.
Home is a place
we all must find, child.
lt's not just a place
where you eat or sleep.
Home is knowing.
Knowing your mind,
knowing your heart,
knowing your courage.
lf we know ourselves,
we're always home anywhere.
(SlNGlNG) If you beIieve
within your heart
You'll know
That no one can change
The path that you must go
Believe what you feel
and know you're right because
The time will come around
When you'll say it's yours
Believe that you can go home
Believe you can float on air
Yes, click your heels
three times
lf you believe
and then you'll be there
That's why I want you
to believe in yourself
Yes, right from the start
you've got to believe
Believe in the magic
right there in your heart
Go ahead,
believe all these things
Not because I told you to now
Go ahead and believe
Believe in yourself
Ooh, yeah, believe
Believe in yourself
Ooh, yeah, yeah,
yeah, believe in yourself
as I believe in you
You mean,
l could have gone home by
clicking my heels three times?
Uh-huh.
WlZ: Dorothy.
Can you do something for me?
They've had what
they've been searching
for in them all along.
l don't know what's in you.
You'll have to find
that out for yourself.
But I do know one thing,
you'll never find it in
the safety of this room.
l tried that all my life.
lt doesn't work.
There's a whole
world out there,
and you'll have to begin
by letting people
see who you really are.
Success,
fame and fortune,
they're all illusions.
All there is that is real
is the friendship
that two can share.
That's beautiful.
Who said that?
l did.
(CRYlNG) Oh, Dorothy.
l'll think of you
all the time.
And I will miss
you every day.
Even if I had to go
back to that junk pile,
even as Teenie's seat cushion,
l wouldn't mind,
because I have
known real love.
Oh, don't rust
yourself, now.
Oh, Dorothy.
lf it hadn't been for you,
l'd still be back
on that pedestal,
afraid to live.
Me, too.
Thank you.
Thank you for
being my friends.
l'm ready now.
Think of home.
Home.
(SlNGlNG)
When I think of home
l think of a place
Where there's
love overflowing
l wish I was home
l wish I was back there
With the things
l've been knowing
Wind that makes
the tall trees
bend into leaning
Suddenly the snowflakes
that fall
have a meaning
Sprinkling the scene
Makes it all clean
Maybe there's a chance
for me to go back
Now that I have
some direction
lt would sure be nice
to be back home
Where there's
love and affection
And just maybe l
can convince time to slow up
Giving me enough time
in my life to grow up
Time, be my friend
Let me start again
Suddenly, my world's gone
And changed its face
But I still know
where l'm going
l have had my mind
spun around in space
And yet l've
watched it growing
And if you're listening, God
Please don't make it hard
To know if we should
believe the things
that we see
Tell us, should we run away?
Should we try and stay?
Or would it be better
just to let things be?
Living here in
this brand new world
might be a fantasy
But it taught me to love
So it's real, real to me
And l've learned
That we must look
inside our hearts
to find
A world full of love
like yours, like mine
Like home
This is my son.
Good to see you.
Hello, Gil.
How you doin'?
Dorothy, this here's
Gil Warren.
Gil Warren, hi.
lt's so good
to see you.
Don't worry, Gil.
She's just a little shy.
l got you.
Auntie, I brought
you some tea.
Look! Here they come!
Come on, they're coming !
Look!

Come on, sweetie.
Here, you take
these checkers.
Come on, Henry,
be careful, now.
Come on.
Take your
uncle's checkers.
Oh, man, you always drop
the checkers when l'm. . .
That's the way
you win games!
Why do you have to drop. . .
Toto! Toto. . .
There you go.
You're such a. . .
(lN DlSTlNCT CHATTERlNG)
(SlNGlNG) Put your arms
around me, child
Like when you
bumped your shin
Then you'll know
l love you now
As I loved you then
Though you may be
trying sometimes
and I'll need you
and you're not there
You know I may get mad
and turn away
But you know
that I still care
Don't lose the feeling
that we have
Though you're
growing older now
And l'm watching you grow
(CH EERlNG)
l know I make
you sad sometimes
And I see your feelings show
But one day I'll look around
And you will be grown
You'll be out in the world,
such a pretty girl
But you'll be on your own
And l'd like to know
it's there
The feeling that we have
Knowing that
you can come to me
Whenever you are sad
Child, l'd like to know
it's there
The feeling that we have
Don't lose the feeling
that we have
(SlNGlNG) Lose it, Iose it
l don't even know
the first thing
About what they're feeling
What am I afraid of?
Don't know what l'm made of
Can I go on not knowing?
Feeling. . .
Something tells me that
it's more than I can deal with
Though I never knew the song
Some words still catch on
Like caring
And sharing
Being together
No matter
Can I go on not knowing?
Don't know what l'm made of
Why am I afraid of
feeling?
Feeling. . .
lf I dared to take a chance
Would someone lead me?
MAN : (ON TV)
Emergency snow alert

No automobiles

Winds up to 45 miles

(TU RNS OFF TV)
That was a great

(CH UCKLES)
That baby. . .
You're a grandpa.
Our daughter's fine.
But Dorothy. . .
Give it time, honey.
Give it time.
(CH UCKLlNG)
Those dishes ain't
gonna wash themselves.
Mrs. Warren's son
looks real fine,
don't he?
Aunt Em, please,
no more matchmaking.
Did you make the decision
about that new school yet?
lt's no decision to make.
But, honey, it's a chance
for you to teach
in a high school.
Get away from
that kindergarten
once and for all.
lt's more money.
But besides the money,
it's a chance for you to
be with older students.
Almost adults.
l like it with the kids,
Aunt Em.
Oh, I know you do, honey.
And you're a fine teacher,
but that's why
l think you'd enjoy
teaching high school.
Have a chance to
be with the students
for four years.
lt's such an important time
in their development.
l'm really happy
with the kids, Aunt Em.
But you've been there
for three years already.
lt's time you got
out of that sandbox
and into some new people,
new neighborhood.
Girl, do you know
you're 24 years old,
and you've never
been south of 125th Street?
Never been south
of 125th Street.
(LAUGHS) Well, you haven't.
Oh, here we go again.
Why do you get
me so worked up
that l'm beginning to sound
like a Jewish mother?
l can't see how going
south of 125th Street
ever made anybody's
life better.
And you're never gonna know
unless you try, are you?
Come on, Aunt Em,
let me do that.
Why don't you go and relax?
l can do. . .
Let me do that.
Listen, I know getting out
in that world ain't easy.
Leaving Uncle Henry
and me. . .
But we'll always be
here for you, Dorothy,
and whatever
your fears are,
well, they'll be defeated
just by facing up to them.
Now, you take that new job
and find a place
for you and Toto.
lt's time for you to
make a home of your own.
Toto! Oh, Toto!

No! No!
Relax, mama.
Lay back, honey.
We just wanna lay
a little thanks on you.
What?
You know, heavy on
the gratitude department.
Gratitude? For what?
For curling the curse.
For leveling the leech.
For killing our oppressor.
(EXCLAlMS) I never killed
nothing in my life.
Never killed a point?
Never killed a pint?
A good story?
The umpire?
No!
Never killed no time?
(CRYlNG) No, I told you
l never killed

Well, then, I think
you just graduated
from the bush leagues
into the majors, girl.
Toto?
Can you dig this?
(DOROTHY GASPlNG)
Who is it?
Ain't no more "is."
Thanks to you, it's a "was."
(ALL CH EERlNG)
She was Evamean.
The Wicked Witch
from the East.
BOY: And they didn't call her
Evamean for nothing.
She was
the Parks Department
Commissioner.
Caught us painting on
her playground wall.
Turned us into graffiti.
And there we stayed.
Flat, splat and
stuck like that.
Doomed as cartoons forever.
Till you burned alphabet
through the sky
and ended the curse.
And the curseress.
Giving a new lease
on life to us,
the Munchkins.
Most recently referred to
as the cursees.

Let's hear it

Oh, how I love you.
Let me count the ways.
lnnumerable blessings,

Thank you beyond number
and additional good stuff!
l didn't mean to. . .
l didn't mean to kill her.
MlSS ON E: Oh, don't be at all
sixes and sevens, honey.
You did the world
a multitudinous service
by eighty-sixing old Evamean.
Bottom line, honey,
this chick put
the "ugh" in "ugly."
(ALL LAUGH lNG)
But she sure had
pretty shoes,
didn't she?
(EXCLAlMS)
(ALL MUTTERlNG)
l don't want these shoes.
l wanna go home.
Oh, I wouldn't discount
those shoes, honey,
and don't ever take them off
until you do get home.
Remember, Miss One told you.
Oh, pardon me.
Miss One's the name,
and if you haven't
guessed by now,
numbers is my game.
And now that you've freed us,
we can all go back to
running our business.
We can all go back to

We can all go back to

But where am l?
Where am l?
You're in Munchkinland !
The indivisible land of Oz!
Oz?
But where's my home?
Where's Aunt Em?
Where's New York?
New York?
433 Prospect Place.
(EXCLAlMS)
Four, three, three.
You wanna play
more than one
number today, honey?
l got a freedom special,
three numbers for
the price of one.
No, I don't wanna
play any numbers.
l just wanna get home!
Oh, well, now that old
Evamean's number's up,
that leaves only
three witches in Oz.
One, myself,
but my powers don't
amount to much.
And number two, Glinda,
the Good Witch of the South.
Oh, she's a real star,
but you can hardly
catch her in.
And number three,
the multi-horrored Evillene,
the Wicked Witch of the West,
(ALL EXCLAlMlNG)
Evamean's even-uglier sister.
But I don't think
it'd be a good time
to ask her for a favor,
so I figured the odds are
only the Wiz could cipher
how to get you back to. . .
Where'd you say
that place was?
The Wiz?
What's a Wiz?
What's a. . .
What's a Wiz?
(SN lCKERlNG)
Oh, darling,
he's the ultimate.

How do I find him?
Catch this number, honey.

But it's turning me around

Letting myself get uptight

Will the Wiz even hear me?
How will I know then
lf I'll ever get home again
Here I am alone
Though it feels the same

Didn't we tell you yesterday

That you can't get down.
This is your life,

Besides, Clyde,

There ain't nothing

But I was just thinking. . .
Just once, fellas.
For a little while,
just to take

Wouldn't that be

Walk? You can't walk!
Why, you just a

You're right, fellas.

CROWS: And stupid, as usual !
But I was reading

Oh, man !
Fellas, please!
Look, didn't we tell you
reading was a waste of time?
But Bacon, here, said. . .

Once over lightly, please.
"Knowledge is power."

He says,
"More men are ennobled

Hey, fellas.
No way.
Ain't no way.
And over here,
especially apropos

"Do not accept any situation.
Question, argue and explore."
(CROWS LAUGH lNG)
CROW 2: Now,
who you gonna believe?
Mr. Nobody, on that
old piece of paper?
Fellas, please!
Or your good friends,

Yeah, who have
dedicated their lives
to educating you.
Yeah, that's true.
Yeah.
Sounds to me, fellas,

Fellas, I did not forget
the crow commandments.
Please!
Run them by me.
Run them by me.
"Thou shalt honor all crows!"
Right on, right on !
Proceed.
"Thou shalt stop reading
all bits of paper

Trash, trash !
And the most important one.
"Thou shalt never,
never get down off
of this here pole!"
CROWS: You got it, Clyde!
And the crow anthem?
l gotta sing
that thing again?
You gotta librett
it till you get it.
Elucidate.
Reiterate.
And syncopate.
(SlNGlNG) You can't win
You can't break even

You get in

and you only got
yourself to blame
You can't win, child
CROWS: You can't win, child
You can't break even

You can't win
The world keeps moving
And you're standing far behind
People keep saying

CROWS: Just to ease
your state of mind
So you lean back
And you smoke that smoke
And you drink
your glass of wine
Saying you can't win, child
You can't break even

it ain't about losing
Then the world

ALL: You can't win, child
Can't break even
Can't get out of the game
You can't win
You can't break even
Ain't the way

While someone else

CROWS: Learn your lesson,
refuel your mind

And you can't win, child

But, alas,

But that's the whole

Tell me what...

"l like what I see"
And l'd be more

All that I have inside of here
And the songs

You'd be more

And if tears should
fall from my eyes
Just think of all the wounds
they could mend
And just think of all

Just being vulnerable again
Tell me what...

You know what I mean?
(ALL CH UCKLlNG)
Cheetah says

Goodbye, Cheetah.
Goodbye, Dorothy.
Bye.
lt's open.
Hello? Hello, in there!
Wait.
Wait a minute.
Does this look familiar?
DOROTHY: Guess who got had?
SCARECROW: Barnum said,
"There's a sucker
born every minute."
TlNMAN : I heard him.
l was there when he said it,
but I never thought
l'd be one of them.
Phony!
(CRYlNG)
You're nothing
but a phony.
l'm out!
The Wizard's out.
He's not here. Out!
Lies!
No more lies.
TlNMAN : You charlatan.
l've seen men shot for less.
You're a terrible man.
Should I finish
him right here?
l'm sorry!
Sorry?
l'm sorry. l'm sorry.
l'm sorry.
l'm sorry.
l'm sorry.
Phony.
l'm sorry.
Everything they say
about me is true.
l'm a phony.
l got no powers.
l got no right to be
pretending to be the Wiz.
l've got nothing.
Hocus-pocus. Nothing.
l'm just plain
old Herman Smith
from Atlantic City.
Atlantic City?
Atlantic City?
You mean,
you're from New Jersey?
Mmm-hmm.
l'm just
a second-rate politician
from District 7.
"Public office
is the last refuge
of the incompetent."
Penrose.
lncompetent?
(LAUGHS) That's me.
l'm incompetent. So much so,
l could never get
elected to public office.
Not because I didn't try.
l tried everything.
Look, look.
l ran for any
and everything.
Alderman, councilman,
assembly leader.
l became a laughingstock.
l couldn't even
get on the ticket.
Finally, in desperation,
l ran for dogcatcher.
(BARKlNG)
l like animals.
Don't get me wrong.
l like animals.
l was at the end of my rope.
l plunged myself
into the campaign.
One desperate
grandstand play.
You know what I did?
l rented a hot-air balloon.
TlNMAN : Hot air.
That's a perfect
vehicle for you.
No, no, no. No.
lt was a beautiful
Fourth of July day.
l planned to fly
over the boardwalk
and the beach,
and throw my. . .
(EXCLAlMS)
Throw my leaflets
to the astonished
crowds below.
My motto was,
"Vote for Smith.
Your best bet to
catch that pet."
But just when I got
up in the balloon,
a terrible storm came up
and blew me into the clouds.
l got lost.
l landed here in Oz.
They'd never seen
a hot-air balloon
like mine before.
And I know I should have
told them the truth,
but they proclaimed me
the Wizard, (WH lSPERS)
and I needed the job.
(CRYlNG) And you mean
you sent us to kill Evillene
knowing we might
never come back?
She would've killed me.
She would've found
out I had no power,
and she'd have took over Oz.
That's no excuse.
Come on.
Please!
Please, don't go.
l live here all
alone in terror
that someone will find out
that l'm a fraud.
Please, just stay with me
for a little while and talk.
You can talk to me crazy,
call me names.
What's the matter?
Now I'll never
get my brain.
Nor my heart.
Or my courage.
But you don't
need them now
because you've
had them all along.
Scarecrow. Scarecrow?
You're the one who
figured out how to find
the yellow brick road,
and how to destroy Evillene,
and every smart
move we've made.
Didn't you? Didn't you?
And Lion,
you wouldn't even give up
when Evillene strung
you up by your tail.
And Tinman,
you have more heart
than anyone l've ever known.
Honest?
Yes.
You never needed anything
from the fake Wizard anyway.
(SlNGlNG)
lf you believe
within your heart
You'll know that
no one can change
The path that you must go
Believe what you feel
And know you're right because
The time will come around
When you say it's yours
Believe there's
a reason to be
Believe you can
make time stand still
You know from
the moment you try
lf you believe
l know you will
Believe in yourself
right from the start
You'll have brains
You'll have a heart
You'll have courage
To last your
whole life through
lf you believe in yourself
as I believe in you
What about you, Dorothy?
You'll never get home.
Me?
l guess you're stuck
with Toto and me.
(BELLS TlN KLlNG)
WlZ: lt's Glinda,
the Good Witch of the South.
She has great powers.
Hello, Dorothy.
Please. ls there a way
for me to get home?
Oh, Dorothy,
you were wise
and good enough
to help your friends
find what was inside
them all the time.
That's true for you, also.
Home?
lnside me?
l don't understand.
Home is a place
we all must find, child.
lt's not just a place
where you eat or sleep.
Home is knowing.
Knowing your mind,
knowing your heart,
knowing your courage.
lf we know ourselves,
we're always home anywhere.
(SlNGlNG) If you beIieve
within your heart
You'll know
That no one can change
The path that you must go
Believe what you feel
and know you're right because
The time will come around
When you'll say it's yours
Believe that you can go home
Believe you can float on air
Yes, click your heels
three times
lf you believe
and then you'll be there
That's why I want you
to believe in yourself
Yes, right from the start
you've got to believe
Believe in the magic
right there in your heart
Go ahead,
believe all these things
Not because I told you to now
Go ahead and believe
Believe in yourself
Ooh, yeah, believe
Believe in yourself
Ooh, yeah, yeah,
yeah, believe in yourself
as I believe in you
You mean,
l could have gone home by
clicking my heels three times?
Uh-huh.
WlZ: Dorothy.
Can you do something for me?
They've had what
they've been searching
for in them all along.
l don't know what's in you.
You'll have to find
that out for yourself.
But I do know one thing,
you'll never find it in
the safety of this room.
l tried that all my life.
lt doesn't work.
There's a whole
world out there,
and you'll have to begin
by letting people
see who you really are.
Success,
fame and fortune,
they're all illusions.
All there is that is real
is the friendship
that two can share.
That's beautiful.
Who said that?
l did.
(CRYlNG) Oh, Dorothy.
l'll think of you
all the time.
And I will miss
you every day.
Even if I had to go
back to that junk pile,
even as Teenie's seat cushion,
l wouldn't mind,
because I have
known real love.
Oh, don't rust
yourself, now.
Oh, Dorothy.
lf it hadn't been for you,
l'd still be back
on that pedestal,
afraid to live.
Me, too.
Thank you.
Thank you for
being my friends.
l'm ready now.
Think of home.
Home.
(SlNGlNG)
When I think of home
l think of a place
Where there's
love overflowing
l wish I was home
l wish I was back there
With the things
l've been knowing
Wind that makes
the tall trees
bend into leaning
Suddenly the snowflakes
that fall
have a meaning
Sprinkling the scene
Makes it all clean
Maybe there's a chance
for me to go back
Now that I have
some direction
lt would sure be nice
to be back home
Where there's
love and affection
And just maybe l
can convince time to slow up
Giving me enough time
in my life to grow up
Time, be my friend
Let me start again
Suddenly, my world's gone
And changed its face
But I still know
where l'm going
l have had my mind
spun around in space
And yet l've
watched it growing
And if you're listening, God
Please don't make it hard
To know if we should
believe the things
that we see
Tell us, should we run away?
Should we try and stay?
Or would it be better
just to let things be?
Living here in
this brand new world
might be a fantasy
But it taught me to love
So it's real, real to me
And l've learned
That we must look
inside our hearts
to find
A world full of love
like yours, like mine
Like home
