WIZARD
Yes.

MCS -- Tin Man, Scarecrow, Dorothy and Lion -- shooting past the Wizard in

SCARECROW
What about us?

TIN MAN AND LION
And Scarecrow's brain?

You promised us real things -- a real...

CS - Wizard - shooting past the Scarecrow at right - the Wizard reacts to

SCARECROW
...brain!

TIN MAN o.s.
A real heart!

You do? boys, you're aiming low. You not
only surprise, but you grieve me.

MS -- The Wizard speaks to Tin Man, Dorothy, Lion and the Scarecrow -- the
Wizard becomes eloquent -- steps closer to the Scarecrow --

WIZARD
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!

MCU -- Wizard -- shooting past the Scarecrow at right --

WIZARD
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 --

WIZARD
Therefore, by virtue of the authority
vested in me by the Universitatus
Committeeatum e plurbis unum, I hereby
confer upon you the honorary degree of Th.D.

SCARECROW
Th.D.?

CU -- The Scarecrow recites the Pythagoras Theorem -- reacts with joy --

joy, rapture! I've got a brain!

MCS -- Wizard, Scarecrow, Dorothy, Tin Man and Lion -- the Scarecrow
thanks the Wizard -- Wizard takes the Lion and leads him forward -- CAMERA
TRUCKS back and PANS right -- the others follow -- the Wizard pauses on
the throne steps -- opens a door and takes out a black bag -- takes a
medal from 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....

MCU -- Lion -- shooting past the Wizard in the f.g. as he presents the
medal to the beaming Lion --

WIZARD
...conduct, extraordinary valor, conspicuous
bravery against wicked witches, I award you
the Triple Cross.

MS -- Scarecrow, Tin Man and Dorothy watching as the Wizard presents the
medal to the Lion --

WIZARD
You are now a member of the Legion of
Courage!

MCU -- The Wizard leans forward and kisses the Lion -- the Lion reacts,
speaks --

LION
Oh -- Oh -- shucks, folks, I'm speechless!

MS -- Dorothy, Tin Man, Scarecrow watch the Lion as he beams with joy over
his new medal -- the Wizard turns to the Tin 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.

WIZARD
Yes -- ....

MCU -- Wizard -- shooting past the Tin Man in left f.g.

WIZARD
...back where I come from there are men who
do nothing all day but good deeds. They
are called phil...er -- er -- phil -- er,
yes...good-deed-doers. And their hearts
are no bigger than yours. But! They have
one thing you haven't got! A testimonial!

MCS -- The Tin Man waits as the Wizard bends down and gets a heart-shaped
watch from his black bag -- CAMERA TRUCKS forward slightly as he presents
it to the Tin Man as Dorothy, Lion and Scarecrow look on --

WIZARD
Therefore, in consideration of your
kindness, I take pleasure at this time in
presenting you with a small token of our
esteem and affection. And remember, my

ear --

Ahh --- Oh, it ticks! Listen!

WIZARD
Ah --

LION
Dorothy next!

WIZARD
Yes. Dorothy -- ah -- Dor --

CU -- Dorothy --

DOROTHY
Oh, I don't think there's anything in that
black bag for me.

MCU - The Wizard protests - mumbles as he starts to look into the bag -

WIZARD
Well, no - no -- on the contrary, on
the ---- ....

MS -- The Wizard rummages through the bag as Dorothy and the others look
on -- he finds nothing, so he speaks encouragingly of what he'll do -
CAMERA TRUCKS forward slightly -

WIZARD
...I -- ah -- on the contr -- -- Here --
Well, you force me into a cataclysmic
decision. The only way to get Dorothy back
to Kansas is for me to take her there myself!

CU -- Dorothy reacts, speaks --

DOROTHY
Oh, will you? Could you? Oh -- but are you
a clever enough Wizard....

MCU -- The Wizard --

DOROTHY o.s.

Child -- you cut me to the quick! I'm an
old Kansas man myself...born and....

...bred in the heart of the western
wilderness -- Premier balloonist par....

MS -- Scarecrow, Dorothy, Lion and Tin Man listening to the Wizard --

Carnival Company -- until one day, while
performing spectacular feats of stratospheric
skill never before attempted by civilized
man, an unfortunate phenomena occurred.
The balloon failed to return to the fair.

It did?

throne -- the Wizard speaks as they come forward -- CAMERA PULLS back to

to the doorway -- all react to the Wizard's announcement --

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.
(laughs)
And in that balloon, my dear Dorothy, you
and I will return to the land of E Pluribus
Unum!

unexplainable journey into the outer
stratosphere.

MCS -- Wizard and Dorothy in the basket -- the Wizard speaks to the crowd
o.s. -- CAMERA PANS to left to enter the Tin Man and Scarecrow, then PANS

WIZARD
To confer, converse, and otherwise hob-nob
with my brother wizards. And I hereby
decree that until what time -- if any --
that I return, the Scarecrow, by virtue of
his highly superior brains, shall rule in
my stead...assisted by the Tin Man, by
virtue of his magnificent heart...and the
Lion -- by virtue of his courage! Obey them
as you would me! And - ah - well, that's all.

works!

Goodbye! Goodbye!

MCS -- Tin Man, Scarecrow and Lion grouped about Dorothy -- she speaks --
they ask her to stay with them -- then the Scarecrow reacts, points up
o.s. --

DOROTHY
Oh, now I'll never get home!

LION
Stay with us, then, Dorothy. We all love
you. We don't want you to go.

DOROTHY
Oh, that's very kind of you -- but this
could never be like Kansas. Auntie Em must
have stopped wondering what happened to me
by now. Oh, Scarecrow, what am I going to
do?

You don't need to be helped any longer.
You've always had the power to go back to
Kansas.

DOROTHY
I have?

SCARECROW
Then why didn't you tell her before?

GLINDA
Because she wouldn't have believed me. She
had to learn it for herself.

TIN MAN
What have you learned, Dorothy?

MCU -- Dorothy -- Lion behind her -- she speaks --

DOROTHY
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 -- if
I ever go looking for my heart's desire
again, I won't look any further than my own
backyard. Because if it isn't there, I
never really lost it to begin with! Is
that right?

MCS -- Tin Man, Dorothy, Glinda, Scarecrow and Lion on platform -- they
speak -- Glinda points down to Dorothy's slippers --

GLINDA
That's all it is!

SCARECROW
But that's so easy! I should have thought
of it for you.

I should have felt it in my heart.

GLINDA
No. She had to find it out for herself.
Now, those magic slippers will take you
home in two seconds!

...Toto, too?

GLINDA
Toto, too.

DOROTHY
Oh, now?

GLINDA
Whenever you wish.

DOROTHY
Oh, dear -- that's too wonderful to be true!
Oh, it's -- it's going to be so hard to say
goodbye. I love you all, too. Goodbye, Tin
Man. Oh, don't cry. You'll rust so
dreadfully. Here -- here's your oil-can.
Goodbye.

TIN MAN
Now I know I've got a heart -- 'cause it's
breaking.

DOROTHY
Oh -- Goodbye, Lion. You know, I know it
isn't right, but I'm going to miss the way
you used to holler for help before you found
your courage.

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

DOROTHY
I think I'll miss you most of all.

GLINDA
Are you ready now?

DOROTHY
Yes. Say goodbye, Toto.

MS -- Dorothy waves Toto's paw at the Tin Man, Lion and Scarecrow -- then

DOROTHY
Yes, I'm ready now.
