LA LION OUI OUI

Hickory: We're coming-

We gotta get them hogs in.

Dorothy: I have so got brains.

Listen, kid, are you gonna let that old Gulch heifer try and buffalo you? She ain't nothing to be afraid of. Have a little courage, that's all.

Aunt Em: Here, here, what's all this jabber-wapping when there's work to be done? Go feed those hogs before they worry themselves into anemia!

Yes'am. (exit)

Uncle Henry: Hunk, get them horses loose! Hickory, check on them pigs, clouds that color can only mean one thing-

(enter; panting) Henry! It's a twister! Just spotted down the way. And it's coming our way!

Uncle Henry: Come on! Everybody in the storm cellar!

(no line, just exit)

Scarecrow, Tin Man (3rd time): Lions and tigers and bears!

(enter) Put 'em up! Put 'em up! I'll fight you with one paw tied behind my back. I'll fight you standing on one foot. I'll fight you with my eyes closed.

Tin Man: Go away and let us alone!

Oh, scared, huh? How long can you stay fresh in that can? (Laughs) Come on! Get up and fight!

Tin Man: I hardly know him.
Toto: Grrr. Grrrr.

(Spots Toto) All right Pee-wee, I guess it's you and me! (runs after Toto)

Dorothy: Shame on you!

(Hits me)

(Crying) Whadcha do that for? I didn't bite him!

Dorothy: No, but you tried to. It's bad enough picking on a straw man, but when you go around picking on poor little dogs-

(Still crying) You didn't have to go and hit, me did you? Is my nose bleeding?

Dorothy: Of course not. My goodness, what a fuss you're making. Why, you're nothing but a big coward!

You're right! I am a coward. I haven't any courage at all. I even scare myself. Look at the circles under my eyes. I haven't slept in weeks.

Tin Man: Why don't you try counting sheep?

That doesn't do any good - I'm afraid of 'em.

Scarecrow: Don't you think the Wizard could help him, too?Dorothy: I don't see why not. We're on our way to see the Wizard. I'm sure he could give you some courage.

Well, wouldn't you feel degraded to be seen in the company of a cowardly lion? I'm sure I would.

Lion: Well, wouldn't you feel degraded to be seen in the company of a cowardly lion? I'm sure I would.

Dorothy: No, of course not.

That's awfully nice of you. My life has been simply unbearable. (If I Only Had the Nerve)

(After Jitterbug Song)

Dorothy: I've never danced so much in my life!

Scarecrow: That witch certainly wants those ruby slippers!

Where is she? Where's the witch!

Doorman: Who rang that bell?

(Together) We did.

Doorman: State your business

(Together) We want to see the Wizard.

(After Merry Old Land of Oz)

Wicked Witch: Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Where is she? Where's the girl?

Who's her? Who's her?

Guard: Nobody can see the great Oz! Not nobody, not no-how

Dorothy: Oh, but we must!

I got a permanent just for the occasion

Scarecrow: Did you hear that? He'll announce us at once! I've as good as got my brain!

Tin Man: I can fairly hear my heart beating!

Dorothy: I'll be home in time for supper!

In another hour, I'll be King of the Forest. Long live the King! (start If I Were King of the Forest)

Guard: Go home! The Wizard says go away!

Go away?

SCENE 9: Walking towards the wizard's chamber

Wait a minute, fellahs. I was just thinkin'. I really don't want to see the Wizard this much. I better wait for you outside. (Turn to walk away, but Tin Man pulls you back)

Dorothy: Don't you know the Wizard's going to give you some courage?

I'd be too scared to ask him for it.

Dorothy: Oh, well, then, we'll ask him for you.

I'd sooner wait outside. (Turn to walk, but tail is caught on Tin Man)

(As I'm walking away from the Wizard's Chamber's entrance)

Dorothy: Oh, come on.

Ohh!

Lion: Ohh!

Scarecrow: What happened?

Somebody pulled my tail.

Wizard: Enough! And you, Lion!

faints

Wizard: Silence! Whippersnapper! The beneficent Oz has every intention of granting your requests!

(Wakes up) What's that? What'd he say?

Wizard: Bring me her broomstick, and I'll grant your requests. Now, go!

But what if she kills us first?

Lion: But what if she kills us first?

Wizard: I said go!

runs off stage

Tin Man: (reading) "I'd turn back if I were you"

That's the best news I've ever heard!

Tin Man: That's ridiculous! Spooks? That's silly.

Don't you believe in spooks?

Lion: Don't you believe in spooks?

Tin Man: Why only-

I do believe in spooks, I do believe in spooks. I do! I do! I do believe in spooks!

Wicked Witch: You'll believe in more than that before I've finished with you! Welcome to the Haunted Forest, I'd like you to meet a friend of mine-

Who's that? Who's that?

Tin Man: They've captured Dorothy and Toto! We've got to do something!

I'm too afraid to move! Leave me alone! Leave me alone!

Tin Man: Shoo! Go away! Shoo! Be gone! (monkeys exit)

What happened to you?

Tin Man: Well, that's you all over.

They sure knocked the stuffings out of you, didn't they?

Tin Man: But how can we find Dorothy?

My paws are getting tired from all this searching.

Toto: Ruff-ruff. Grrrr... Oh-we-oh! We-oh-oh! Grrrrr (Laughs like the Wicked Witch) Yipe! Yipe! Yipe!

Tin Man: What's he sayin'?

The Wicked Witch has Dorothy locked in her tower!

Tin Man: Oh, I hate to think of Dorothy in that awful place. We've got to get her out. (Cries)

Scarecrow: Don't cry now. We haven't got the oilcan with us, and you've been squeaking enough as it is.

Toto: Ruff! Ruff-ruff!

What's them, what's them?

Tin Man: They're Winkies! The Witch's guards.

Get 'em away! Get 'em away!

Scarecrow: I've got a plan how to get in there.

He's got a plan!

Scarecrow: And you're going to lead us.

(sheepishly) Me?

Scarecrow(talking about the plan to get Dorothy out of the Witch's Castle; after winkies): Yes, you.

All right, I'll go in there for Dorothy. Wicked Witch or no Wicked Witch, guards or no guards, I'll tear 'em apart! (Growls) There's only one thing I want you fellows to do.

Lion: All right, I'll go in there for Dorothy. Wicked Witch or no Wicked Witch, guards or no guards, I'll tear 'em apart! (Growls) There's only one thing I want you fellows to do.

Scarecrow, Tin Man: What's that?

Talk me out of it.

Scarecrow: And halt! That will be all, men. Dismissed.

You heard him. Back to your watch, back to your watch

Scarecrow: You haven't forgotten your old pals, have you?

Face audience

Dorothy: I knew you'd come! I just knew it! But how did you manage it?

(Proudly) Well, Scarecrow had the idea- (point to brain)

Scarecrow: And Tin Man somehow knew exactly where to find you!

(Toto enters)

Toto: bark bark

Dorothy: Toto!

(Dorothy embraces Toto)

Did they hurtcha?

(Back in the Wizard's Chamber)
Dorothy: Tomorrow? Oh, but I want to go home now.

Tin Man: You've had plenty of time already!

...y-yeah!

Tin Man: And the courage you promised Cowardly Lion?

And Scarecrow's brain?

Wizard: But you've got them. You've had them all the time!

Oh, no we haven't (all)

Wizard: blah blah blah, I award you the Triple Cross!

The Triple Cross!

Wizard: You are now a member of the Legion of Courage!

Shucks, folks, I'm speechless!

Dorothy: Good-bye, Lion. I'm going to miss the way you used to holler for help before you found your courage.

I would never've found it if it hadn't been for you.

Hickory: And me, Hickory

You couldn't forget my face, could you?
