FADE IN -- Title:

For nearly forty years this story has given faithful service to the Young

fashion.

To those of you who have been faithful to it in return

...and to the Young in Heart --- we dedicate this picture.

FADE OUT:

MS -- Dorothy stoops down to Toto -- speaks to him -- then runs down road
to b.g. -- Toto following --

DOROTHY
She isn't coming yet, Toto. Did she hurt
you? She tried to, didn't she? Come on --

Aunt Em!

AUNT EM
Fifty-seven, fifty-eight --

DOROTHY
Just listen to what Miss Gulch did to Toto!
She --

AUNT EM
Dorothy, please! We're trying to count!
Fifty-eight--

DOROTHY
Oh, but Aunt Em, she hit him over the --

UNCLE HENRY
Don't bother us now, honey -- this old
incubator's gone bad, and we're likely to
lose a lot of our chicks.

DOROTHY
Oh -- oh, the poor little things. Oh, but
Aunt Em, Miss Gulch hit Toto right over the
back with a rake just because she says he
gets in her garden and chases her nasty old
cat every day.

AUNT EM
Seventy -- Dorothy, please!

DOROTHY
Oh, but he doesn't do it every day -- just
once or twice a week. And he can't catch
her old cat, anyway. And now she says she's
gonna get the sheriff, and --

AUNT EM
Dorothy! Dorothy! We're busy!

DOROTHY
Oh -- all right.

MCS - Aunt Em and Uncle Henry taking chicks out of incubator -

UNCLE HENRY
Poor little orphan, and her Miss Gulch
troubles. Gosh all hemlock - you know, she
ought to have somebody to play with.

AUNT EM
I know, but we all got to work out our own
problems, Henry.
 UNCLE HENRY
Yes.

AUNT EM
Oh, I hope we got them in time.

UNCLE HENRY
Yes.

It's a lucky thing it wasn't your head.

DOROTHY
Zeke, what am I going to do about Miss
Gulch? Just because Toto chases her old
cat --

ZEKE
 Listen, honey, I got them hogs to get in.

HUNK
Now lookit, Dorothy, you ain't using your
head about Miss Gulch. Think you didn't
have any brains at all.

DOROTHY
I have so got brains.

HUNK
Well, why don't you use them? When you come
home, don't go by Miss Gulch's place. Then
Toto won't get in her garden, and you won't
get in no trouble. See?

Oh, Hunk, you just won't listen, that's all.

Oh! Oh, it feels like my joints are rusted.
Listen, Dorothy, don't let Hunk kid you
about Miss Gulch. She's just a poor
sour-faced old maid that -- she ain't got
no heart left. You know, you should have a
little more heart yourself, and have pity
on her.

DOROTHY
Well, gee, I try and have a heart.

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

DOROTHY
This?

HICKORY
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 see that fan
-- that sends up air currents into the sky.
These air currents -- Oh, stop it!

DOROTHY
 Oh!

HICKORY
Who did it? Now wait a minute.

DOROTHY
Hickory!

HICKORY

ZEKE
She ain't nothing to be afraid of. Have a
little courage, that's all.

MLS -- Dorothy walking along railing between pig pens --

DOROTHY
I'm not afraid of her.

pig make a coward out of you?

HICKORY
Look at you, Zeke -- you're just as white --

AUNT EM
Here, here, what's all this jabber-wapping
when there's work to be done? I know three
shiftless farm hands that'll be out of a
job before they know it!

HICKORY
Well, Dorothy was walking along the --

AUNT EM
I saw you tinkering with that contraption,
Hickory. Now, you and Hunk get back to that
wagon!

HICKORY
All right, Mrs. Gale. But some day they're
going to erect a statue to me in this town,
and --

AUNT EM
Well, don't start posing for it now. Here,
here -- can't work on an empty stomach.
Have some crullers.

HUNK
Gosh, Mrs. Gale.

AUNT EM
Just fried.

HICKORY
Thanks.
 HUNK
Swell.

ZEKE
You see, Dorothy toppled in with the big
Duroc...

AUNT EM
It's no place for Dorothy about a pig sty!
Now you go feed those hogs before they worry
themselves into anemia!

ZEKE
Yes'am.

DOROTHY
Auntie Em, really -- you know what Miss
Gulch said she was gonna do to Toto? She
said she was gonna --

AUNT EM
Now, Dorothy, dear, stop imagining things.
You always get yourself into a fret over
nothing.

No --

AUNT EM
Now, you just help us out today, and find
yourself a place where you won't get into
any trouble.

DOROTHY
Do you suppose there is such a place, Toto?
There must be. It's not a place you can

away -- behind the moon -- beyond the rain --

DOROTHY
(sings)
Somewhere, over the rainbow, way up high,
There's a land that I heard of once in a
lullaby.
Somewhere, over the rainbow, skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream really
do....

DOROTHY
(sings)
...Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind
me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops,
Away above the chimney tops,
That's where you'll find me.
Somewhere, over the rainbow, bluebirds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow,
Why then -- oh, why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh, why can't I?

mustn't! Auntie Em! Uncle Henry! You won't
let her, will you?

UNCLE HENRY
Of course we won't. Will we, Em?

DOROTHY
Please, Aunt Em, Toto didn't mean to. He
didn't know he was doing anything wrong.
I'm the one that ought to be punished. I
let him go in her garden. You can send me
to bed without supper --

MISS GULCH
If you don't hand over that dog, I'll bring
a damage suit that'll take your whole farm!
There's a law protecting folks against dogs
that bite!

He's really gentle -- with gentle people,
that is.

I'm not afraid of anything --- except a
lighted match.

DOROTHY
I don't blame you for that.

From the rock-bound coast of Maine to the
Sun.... oh - oh, no -- -- ah - Well, be

thoughts -- and with no more brains than
you have.... But! They have one thing you
 haven't got! A diploma!

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

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,

are no bigger than yours. But! They have
one thing you haven't got! A testimonial!

sentimental friend....

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

CU -- Dorothy is pleased -- looks about at the others --

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

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

WIZARD
...excellence to the Miracle Wonderland
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.

LION
It did?

MCU - The Wizard -

WIZARD
Yes. There was I, floating through space --
a man without a continent!

CU -- Dorothy --

DOROTHY
Weren't you frightened?

throne -- the Wizard speaks as they come forward -- CAMERA PULLS back to
left as they come forward to door -- they pause -- then again come
forward
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!

o.s. -- CAMERA PANS to left to enter the Tin Man and Scarecrow, then PANS
right as the Wizard points to the Lion --

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.

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

by now. Oh, Scarecrow, what am I going to
do?

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.

home in two seconds!

Oh, now?

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
