DOROTHY
Now which way do we go?

pole in the cornfield at right -- he speaks, points to right -- Dorothy
whirls about and looks at him --

SCARECROW
That way is a very nice way.

CS -- Scarecrow, his arm pointing to right --

CU -- Dorothy, a bit frightened as she looks about o.s. - she speaks,

to him --

DOROTHY
Are you doing that on purpose, or can't you
make up your mind?

DOROTHY
How can you talk if you haven't got a....

MCU -- Scarecrow speaks to Dorothy o.s.in f.g. --

Oh, dear -- that must be terribly
uncomfortable. Can't you get down?

MLS -- Scarecrow on pole -- Dorothy standing in front of him -- they speak

yourself.

in my face!

MCU -- The Scarecrow --

SCARECROW
Do? Why, if I had a brain, I could --
(sings)
I could while away the hours,
Conferrin' with the flowers,
Consultin' with the rain.
And my head I'd be scratchin'
While my thoughts were busy hatchin'
If I only had a brain.
I'd unravel every riddle
For any individ'le
In trouble or in pain.

And then I'd sit -- and think some more.
I would not be just a nuffin'
My head all full of stuffin'
My heart all full of pain.
I would dance and be merry...

Where's Kansas?

DOROTHY
That's where I live. And I want to get back
there so badly I'm going all the way to
Emerald City to get the Wizard of Oz to help
me.

SCARECROW
You're going to see a Wizard?

DOROTHY
Um-hmm.

SCARECROW
Do you think if I went with you this Wizard
would give me some brains?

DOROTHY
I couldn't say. But even if he didn't,
you'd be no worse off than you are now.

SCARECROW
Yes -- that's true.

DOROTHY
But maybe you'd better not. I've got a
witch mad at me, and you might get into
trouble.

SCARECROW
Witch? Huh! I'm not afraid of a witch!
I'm not afraid of anything --- except a
lighted match.

DOROTHY
I don't blame you for that.

SCARECROW
But I'd face a whole box full of them for
the chance of getting some brains. Look --
I won't be any trouble, because I don't eat
a thing -- and I won't try to manage things,
because I can't think. Won't you take me
with you?

To Oz?

To Oz!

BOTH
(sing)
We're off to see the Wizard
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
We hear he is a whiz of a Wiz
If ever a Wiz there was
If ever oh ever a Wiz there was,
The Wizard of Oz

Because, because, because, because, because
Because of the wonderful things he does.
We're off to see the Wizard
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz!
