Wizard of Oz Lines (Wicked Witch)

yummy yummy lines

Glinda: That's her sister, the Wicked Witch of the East. This is the Wicked Witch of the West. And she's worse than the other one was.

Who killed my sister? Who killed the Wicked Witch of the East? Was it you? Answer me!

Glinda: Leave her alone!

You stay out of this! I’m here for vengeance! So it was you, was it? You killed her, didn’t you?

Dorothy: No! It was an accident! I didn’t mean to kill anybody! Really I didn’t!

Didn’t mean it, eh? Accident, eh? Well, my little pretty I can cause accident too— and this is how I do it!

Glinda: Aren’t you forgetting the ruby slippers?

The slippers! Yes, the slippers!

They’re gone!

The ruby slipper! What have you done with them? Give them back to me or I’ll—

Glinda: It’s too late! There they are, and there they’ll stay!

Give me back my slippers! I’m the only one that knows how to use them. They’re of no use to you! Give them back to me! Give them back!

Glinda: Keep tight inside of them, their magic must be very powerful, or she wouldn’t want them so badly!

You stay out of this, Glinda, or I’ll fix you as well!

Glinda: (laughs) Oh, rubbish! You have no power here. Be gone, before somebody drops a house on you, too.

Very well, I’ll bide my time. And as for you, my fine lady, it’s true, I can’t attend to you here and now as I’d like, but just try to stay out of my way! Just try! I’ll get you my pretty, and your little dog, too!

Tin Man: What’s that?

Helping the little lady along, are you, my fine gentlemen? Well, stay away from her! Or I’ll make a beehive outta you, Tin Man? And I’ll stuff a mattress with you, Scarecrow!

Toto: Ruff! Ruff! Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!

And as for you my pretty, I wish you luck with the Wizard of Oz. And a happy journey back to Kansas!

(WICKED WITCH enters)

(Laughs) So! You won’t take my warning, eh? All the worse for you, then. Hah! When I gain those ruby slippers, my power will be the greatest in all of Oz!

Before Poppies song

There is nothing so depressing as boundless optimism. Happily it is totally misplaced. Now, shall I squash them out like the interfering bugs they are, or shall I be witty and creative? The bug alternative is attractive but messy. So witty and creative wins the day. A-hah! Something with poison in it, I think. Yes, with poison in it, but attractive to the eye — and soothing to the smell! Poppies! Poppies! Poppies!

(Interrupts Merry Old Land of Oz)

(Laughing) Where is she? Where’s the girl?!

Scarecrow: Hide!

Good people of Oz, listen and listen well! Bring forward the pretty one, who goes by the name of Dorothy!

Oz Citizens: Dorothy? Who’s Dorothy?

So that’s how you’re going to play it! Well then, here’s a message for the girl—

See that she gets it!

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

You’ll believe in more than before I’m finished with you! Welcome to the Haunted Forest, I’d like you to meet a friend of mine—

Nikko: Eee-Eee-Eee! (first time)

They are lovely slippers, aren’t they Nikko? Now be a good boy and invite a few of your friends to the party.

Tin Man: If I had a heart, I think it’d be beating faster…

Now, bring that girl and her dog to my castle!

Nikko: Eee-Eee-Eee… Eee?

Do what you like with the others, but I want her alive and unharmed! Take special care of those ruby slippers. I want those most of all. Now, fly! Fly! Bring me the girl and her slippers! Fly! Fly! Fly!

Nikko: Eee-Eee-Eee! (Start of scene 11)

You’ve captured the girl and her dog?

Nikko: Eee!

Such a good little monkey! Bring me the dog.

NIKKO gestures, and the other MONKEYS enter with TOTO

Toto: Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

What a nice little dog!

Toto: Ruff-ruff-ruff! (After being brought into witch’s castle)

Nikko, where’s are manners? It’s time to entertain our guest. Bring me the girl!

NIKKO gestures, MONKEYS enter with DOROTHY

Toto: Ruff-ruff-grrrrrrr!

What an unexpected pleasure, my dear! It’s so kind of you to visit me in my loneliness.

Dorothy: What are you going to do with my dog? Give him back to me!

All in good time, my little pretty, all in good time.

Oh, please give me back my dog!

Certainly! Certainly, when you give me back those slippers.

Dorothy: But the Good Witch of the North told me not to.

Very well. Nikko, my pet, tie a rock around the mangy dog’s neck and toss him in the river. We can all watch him drown!

Dorothy: No! No, no! Here, you can have your old slippers, but give me back Toto.

That’s a good little girl. I knew you’d see reason.

Ahh! Ah!

Dorothy: I’m sorry. I didn’t do it! Can I still have my dog?

No! Fool that I am! I should have remembered—those slippers will never come off, as long as you’re alive.

Dorothy: What are you going to do?

It’s not what I’m going to do that’s worrying me, it’s how to do it! These things must be down delicately…

Dorothy: Run, Toto, run!

Catch him, you fool!

Dorothy: He got away! He got away!

Which is more than you will! Drat you and your dog (Mangy mutt??)! Do you see this hour glass? That’s how much longer you’ve got to be alive! And it isn’t long, my pretty! It isn’t long! (Laughs)

(Interrupt Somewhere Over the Rainbow (Reprise))

Sorry to break up the happy reunion!

Dorothy: Auntie Em! Please come back! Please!

I’ll give you Auntie Em, my pretty! (Laughs) Nikko! Gather the Winkie guards! Her time is nearly up!

Wicked Witch: Nikko, gather the Winkie Guards! Her time is almost up!

Nikko: Ee-ee-ee!

When I return, you’ll get yours and I’ll have mine!

Dorothy: I’m all right, But we’ve got to get out of here!

Going so soon? Guards seize them!

Why, my little party’s just beginning! Ring around the rosy, a pocket full of spears! Thought you’d be pretty foxy, didn’t you? Well, I’m going to start in on you right here, one after the other! And the last to go will see the first three go before her! And your mangy little dog, too!

(I get water splashed on me)

Oh, you cursed brat! Look what you’ve done! I’m melting! Melting! Oh, what a world, what a world! Who would have thought a good little girl like you could destroy my beautiful wickedness?! Ohhh! Look out! Look out! I’m going. Ohhhh! Ohhhhhh!!!
