she says he gets in her garden and chases
her nasty old cat every day.
AUNT EM
Seventy -- Dorothy, please!

Oh, but he doesn't do it every day --
just once or twice a week. And he can't

Now look, here's something that really
has a heart. This is the best invention I
ever invented.

This?

Sure. It's to break up winds, so we don't
have no more dust storms. Can you imagine
what it'll mean to this section of the
country? I'll show you. It works
perfectly now. Here's the principle. You

From the rock-bound coast of Maine to the
Sun.... oh - oh, no -- -- ah - Well, be
that as it may. 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!
MS -- The Wizard reaches back and obtains several diplomas --
selecting one and presents it to the Scarecrow as Dorothy,
Tin Man and the Lion look on --

Therefore, by virtue of the authority
vested in me by the Universitatus

the bag --
SCARECROW
How can I ever thank you enough?
WIZARD
Well, you can't. As for you, my fine
friend -- you're a victim of disorganized
thinking. You are under the unfortunate
delusion that simply because you run away
from danger, you have no courage. You're
confusing courage with wisdom. Back
where I come from, we have men who are
called heroes. Once a year, they take
their fortitude out of mothballs and
parade it down the main street of the
city. And they have no more courage than
you have. But! They have one thing that
you haven't got! A medal! Therefore --
for meritorious....

Man -- speaks to him --
WIZARD
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. I could have been a world
figure, a power among men, a - a
successful wizard, had I not been
obstructed by a heart.
TIN MAN
But I still want one.

Yes -- ....

They have one thing you haven't got! A

sentimental friend....

WIZARD
Frightened? You are talking to a man who
has laughed in the face of death --
sneered at doom and chuckled at
catastrophe. I was petrified. Then
suddenly the wind changed, and the
balloon floated down into the heart of
this noble city, where I was instantly
acclaimed Oz, the First Wizard de Luxe!
DOROTHY
Ohhh!
WIZARD
Times being what they were, I accepted
the job, -- retaining my balloon against
the advent of a quick get-away.

And in that balloon, my dear Dorothy, you

Well, I -- I think that it -- that it
wasn't enough just to want to see Uncle
Henry and Auntie Em -- and it's that --
