| (....one of the Friends sent me this, so I am going to post it for us all. As soon as I can find out who did much of the original work, that shall be posted as well. I think we were talking about either philosophy or flying monkeys.....same difference....but enjoy....HAPPY NEW YEAR 2006!.....and bless you all....Sean....) *********************** Memorable Quotes from
The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum ************************ Auntie Em: Now you go feed those hogs before they worry themselves into anemia! Miss Gulch: Mr. Gale, 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?
Miss Gulch: No! Auntie Em: For twenty-three years I've been dying to tell you what I thought of you! And now... well, being a Christian woman, I can't say it! Dorothy: Don't be silly, Toto. Scarecrows don't talk. Dorothy: Lions and tigers and bears! Oh, my! Dorothy: Oh please, Professor, why can't we go with you and see all the Crowned Heads of Europe?
Professor Marvel: Do you know any? Oh, you mean the... thing.....Yes....... Professor Marvel: Professor Marvel never guesses. He knows! Scarecrow: Come along Dorothy. You don't want any of those apples.
Apple Tree: Are you hinting my apples aren't what they ought to be?
Scarecrow: Oh, no! It's just that she doesn't like little green worms! Cowardly Lion: All right, I'll go in there for Dorothy. Wicked Witch or no Wicked Witch, guards or no guards, I'll tear them apart. I may not come out alive, but I'm going in there. There's only one thing I want you fellows to do.
Tin Woodsman, Scarecrow: What's that?
Cowardly Lion: Talk me out of it. Cowardly Lion: Courage! What makes a king out of a slave? Courage! What makes the flag on the mast to wave? Courage! What makes the elephant charge his tusk in the misty mist, or the dusky dusk? What makes the muskrat guard his musk? Courage! What makes the sphinx the seventh wonder? Courage! What makes the dawn come up like thunder? Courage! What makes the Hottentot so hot? What puts the "ape" in apricot? What have they got that I ain't got?
Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tin Woodsman: Courage!
Cowardly Lion: You can say that again! Hunh! Cowardly Lion: I do believe in spooks. I do believe in spooks. I do! I do! I do! I do believe in spooks. I do believe in spooks. I do! I do! I do! I do!
Wicked Witch of the West: You'll believe in more than that before I'm finished with you. Wicked Witch of the West: The last to go will see the first three go before her. And her little dog too. Dorothy: Weren't you frightened?
Professor Marvel: Frightened? Child, you're talking to a man who's laughed in the face of death, sneered at doom, and chuckled at catastrophe... I was petrified. Dorothy: Do you think there could be wild animals in here?
Tin Woodsman: Perhaps.
Scarecrow: Even ones that, that eat... straw?
Tin Woodsman: Some, but mostly lions and tigers and bears.
Dorothy: Lions?
Scarecrow: And tigers?
Tin Woodsman: And bears. Cowardly Lion: Put 'em up, put 'em up! Which one of you first? I can fight you both together if you want. I can fight you with one paw tied behind my back. I can fight you standing on one foot. I can fight you with my eyes closed. Oh, pull an axe on me, eh? Sneaking up on me, eh? Why, I'll... Ruff! Dorothy: Your majesty, if you were king, you wouldn't be afraid of anything?
Cowardly Lion: Not nobody. Not nohow.
Tin Woodsman: Not even a rhinoceros?
Cowardly Lion: Imposerous!
Dorothy: Supposing you met an elephant?
Cowardly Lion: I'd wrap him up in cellophant.
Dorothy: What about a hippopotamus?
Cowardly Lion: I'd thrash him from top to bottomus.
Scarecrow: What if it were a brontosaurus?
Cowardly Lion: I'd show him who was king of the forest. Mayor of Munchkin City: Then this is a day of independence for all the Munchkins and their descendants.
Munchkin: If any.
Mayor of Munchkin City: Let the word be spread. At last the wicked witch is dead! Guardian of the Emerald City Gates: Who rang that bell?
Dorothy, Scarecrow, Cowardly Lion, Tin Woodsman: We did!
Guardian of the Emerald City Gates: Didn't you read the sign?
Dorothy: What sign?
Guardian of the Emerald City Gates: It's right there, as plain as the nose on my face. It's... oh... Tsk, tsk, tsk.
[Hangs sign on door and goes back inside]
Dorothy, Scarecrow, Cowardly Lion, Tin Woodsman: [Reading sign] Bell out of order. Please knock.
[Dorothy knocks]
Guardian of the Emerald City Gates: Well, that's more like it. Scarecrow: What about the heart that you promised Tin Man? Or the courage you promised Lion?
Tin Woodsman,: And Scarecrow's brain? Wizard of Oz: You, my friend, are a victim of disorganized thinking. You are under the unfortunate impression that just because you run away you have no courage; you're confusing courage with wisdom. Cowardly Lion: I- I- I hope my strength holds out.
Tin Woodsman: [hanging by Lion's tail] I hope your tail holds out! Dorothy: My Goodness, what a fuss you're making. Well naturally, when you go around picking on things weaker than you are. Why, you're nothing but a great big coward.
Cowardly Lion: [crying] You're right, I am a coward! I haven't any courage at all. I even scare myself.
[sobs]
Cowardly Lion: Look at the circles under my eyes. I haven't slept in weeks.
Tin Woodsman: Why don't you try counting sheep?
Cowardly Lion: That doesn't do any good. I'm afraid of them.
[sobs loud]
Scarecrow: Ah, that's too bad. Wizard of Oz: Do not arouse the wrath of the great and powerful Oz. I said come back tomorrow. Dorothy: I'm not afraid of her.
Zeke: Then next time she squawks, walk right up to her and spit in her eye. That's what I'd do. Coroner: [singing] She's not only merely dead / She's really most sincerely dead. Wizard of Oz: A heart is not judged by how much you love; but by how much you are loved by others. Dorothy: Did you say something?
Tin Woodsman: Oilcan.
Dorothy: He said oilcan.
Scarecrow: Oil can what? Dorothy: Where do you want to be oiled first? Auntie Em: Why don't you find a place where there isn't any trouble.
Dorothy: A place where there isn't any trouble. Do you suppose there is such a place Toto? There must be. It's not a place you can get to by a boat or a train. It's far, far away. Behind the moon, beyond the rain. Dorothy: Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore. Dorothy: My! People come and go so quickly here! Wicked Witch of the West: Going so soon? I wouldn't hear of it. Why my little party's just beginning. Wicked Witch of the West: I'll get you my pretty... and your little dog too! Wicked Witch of the West: Just try and stay out of my way. Just try! I'll get you, my pretty and your little dog too! Scarecrow: I haven't got a brain... only straw.
Dorothy: How can you talk if you haven't got a brain?
Scarecrow: I don't know... But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking... don't they?
Dorothy: Yes, I guess you're right. Tin Woodsman: Go away and leave us alone.
Cowardly Lion: Oh, scared huh? Afraid, huh? Ah, how long can you stay fresh in that can? Ha ha ha ha. Scarecrow: First they
[the Flying Monkeys]
Scarecrow: took my legs off and they threw them over there! Then they took my chest out and they threw it over there!
Tin Woodsman: Well, that's you all over! [Dorothy watches the Wicked Witch melt]
Wicked Witch of the West: Who ever thought a little girl like you could destroy my beautiful wickedness? Wizard of Oz: Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain. Wizard of Oz: As for you, my galvanized friend, you want a heart. You don't know how lucky you are not to have one. Hearts will never be practical until they can be made unbreakable.
Tin Woodsman: But I still want one. Wizard of Oz: Why, anybody can have a brain. That's a very mediocre commodity. Every pusillanimous creature that crawls on the Earth or slinks through slimy seas has a brain. Back where I come from, we have universities, seats of great learning, where men go to become great thinkers. And when they come out, they think deep thoughts and with no more brains than you have. But they have one thing you haven't got: a diploma. Scarecrow: The sum of the square roots of any two sides of an isosceles triangle is equal to the square root of the remaining side. Oh joy! Rapture! I got a brain! How can I ever thank you enough?
Wizard of Oz: You can't. Tin Woodsman: What have you learned, Dorothy?
Dorothy: Well, I - I think that it - it wasn't enough to just want to see Uncle Henry and Auntie Em - and it's that - if I ever go looking for my heart's desire again, I won't look any further than my own back yard. Because if it isn't there, I never really lost it to begin with! Is that right? [last lines]
Dorothy: Oh, 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, and - oh, Auntie Em - there's no place like home! [Dorothy is brought to the Witch's castle]
Wicked Witch of the West: What a nice little dog. And you, my dear. What an unexpected pleasure. It's so kind of you to want to visit me in my loneliness. Wicked Witch of the West: Who killed my sister? Who killed the Witch of the East? Was it you?
Dorothy: No, no. It was an accident. I didn't mean to kill anybody.
Wicked Witch of the West: Well, my little pretty, I can cause accidents, too! Guardian of the Emerald City Gates: Orders are nobody can see the Great Oz! Not nobody, not nohow! Guardian of the Emerald City Gates: Now, state your business.
Dorothy: We want to see the wizard!
Guardian of the Emerald City Gates: The wizard? But nobody can see the great Oz, nobody's *ever* seen the great Oz... even I've never seen him!
Dorothy: Well then, how do you know there is one? Wizard of Oz: You people should consider yourselves lucky that I'm granting you an audience tomorrow instead of 20 years from now. Scarecrow: I'm not afraid of her. I'm not afraid of anything - except a lighted match.
[points to the straw in his arm]
Dorothy: I don't blame you for that. Glinda, the Good Witch of the North: You have no power here! Now begone, before somebody drops a house on you! [Dorothy has thrown water on the Wicked Witch of the West]
Wicked Witch of the West: I'm melting! I'm melting! Dorothy: Oh, Thank you so much! We've been gone such a long time and we feel so messy... What kind of a horse is that? I've never seen a horse like that before!
Guardian of the Emerald City Gates: And never will again, I fancy. There's only one of him and he's it. He's the Horse of a Different Color, you've heard tell about. Manicurist in Emerald City: We can make a dimpled smile out of a frown.
Dorothy: Can you even dye my eyes to match my gown?
Manicurist in Emerald City: Uh-huh.
Dorothy: Jolly old town! Cowardly Lion: [singing] I'm afraid there's no denyin' / I'm just a dandy-lion / A fate I don't deserve / I'm sure I could show my prowess / Be a lion, not a mouse / If I only had the nerve. Wicked Witch of the West: [as she is melting away] "Ohhhhh... What a world! What a world!" Ozmites: [singing] We get up at 12 and start to work at 1! Take an hour for lunch and then, at 2, we're done! Jolly good fun! Dorothy: What would you do with a brain if you had one? [Dorothy, the Scarecrow, and the Tin Man watch as the Wicked Witch of the West vanishes into a fireball]
Scarecrow: I'm not afraid of her! I'll see you get safely to the Wizard now, whether I get a brain or not. Stuff a mattress with me. Ha!
Tin Woodsman: I'll see you reach the Wizard, whether I get a heart or not. Beehive, bah! Let her try and make a beehive out of me!
Dorothy: Oh, you're the best friends anybody ever had. And it's funny, but I feel as if I'd known you all the time, but I couldn't have, could I?
Scarecrow: I don't see how. You weren't around when I was stuffed and sewn together, were you?
Tin Woodsman: And I was standing over there, rusting for the longest time.
Dorothy: Still, I wish I could remember, but I guess it doesn't matter anyway. We know each other now, don't we?
Scarecrow: That's right.
Tin Woodsman: We do.
Scarecrow: To Oz?
Tin Woodsman: To Oz. Tin Woodsman: Now I know I have a heart, because it's breaking Dorothy: You go away or I - I'll bite you myself!
Auntie Em: Dorothy! Hunk: Now look here, Dorothy, you ain't using your head about Miss Gulch. You'd think you didn't have any brains at all.
Dorothy: I have so got brains!
Hunk: Well, why don't you use them. When you come home, don't go by Miss Gulch's place. Then Toto won't get in her garden, and you won't get in no trouble. See?
Dorothy: Oh Hunk, you just won't listen, that's all.
Hunk: Well, your head ain't made of straw, you know. page 2 |
