• Miss Gulch : [stopping bicycle and getting off]  Gale?

  Uncle Henry : Well, howdy, Miss Gulch.

  Miss Gulch : [comes into the Gale's yard]  I want to see you and your wife right away about Dorothy.

  Uncle Henry : Dorothy? Well, what has Dorothy done?

  Miss Gulch : What she's done? I'm all but lame from the bite on my leg!

  Uncle Henry : You mean she bit you?

  Miss Gulch : No, her dog!

  Uncle Henry : Oh, she bit her dog, eh?

  [Uncle Henry lets go of the gate, it hits Miss Gulch on the backside] 

  Miss Gulch : [exasperated]  No!

• Miss Gulch : That dog's a menace to the community. I'm taking him to the sheriff and make sure he's destroyed.

  Dorothy : Destroyed? Toto? Oh, you can't! You mustn't! Auntie Em! Uncle Henry! You won't let her, will you?

  Uncle Henry : [chuckles]  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 : [strictly pointly to Em]  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!

  Auntie Em : How would it be if she keeps him tied up? He's really gentle... with gentle people, that is.

  Miss Gulch : Well, that's for the Sheriff to decide. Here's his order allowing me to take him. Unless you want to go against the law.

  Uncle Henry : Uhh... yeah...

  Auntie Em : Now, we can't go against the law, Dorothy. I'm afraid poor Toto will have to go.

  Miss Gulch : Now you're seeing reason.

  Dorothy : No...

  Miss Gulch : Here's what I'm taking him in... so he can't attack me again.

  Dorothy : OH, NO, NO! I won't let you take him! You go away, you... .! Oooh, I'LL BITE YOU MYSELF!

  Miss Gulch : Dorothy!

  Dorothy : You wicked old witch! Uncle Henry, Auntie Em, don't let 'em take Toto! Don't let her take him... please!

  Miss Gulch : Here! I've got an order! Let me have...

  Dorothy : STOP HER!

  Auntie Em : Put him in the basket, Henry.

  Miss Gulch : The idea!

  Dorothy : Oh, don't, Uncle Henry. Oh, Toto! Don't...

  [Dorothy starts crying she looks to Aunt Em, then to Uncle Henry then turns and starts out, and runs out of the room] 

• Uncle Henry : Come on, everybody in the storm cellar!

  Auntie Em : [panicked]  Henry, help me, I can't find Dorothy, she's somewhere out in the storm!

  Uncle Henry : Em, we can't look for her now! Come on, get in the cellar, hurry up!

  Auntie Em : [screams]  DOROTHYYYY!

• Auntie Em : Wake up honey. Dorothy, Dorothy dear, it's Aunt Em darling.

  Dorothy : Oh, Auntie Em. It's you.

  Professor Marvel : Hello there, anyone home. I just dropped by because I heard the little girl got caught in the big

  [realizing Dorothy is fine] 

  Professor Marvel : well she seems alright now.

  Uncle Henry : Yeah, she got quite a bump on the head we kind of thought there for a minute she was going to leave us.

  Dorothy : But I did leave you, Uncle Henry that's just the trouble and I tried to get back for days and days.

  Auntie Em : Their, their lay quiet now, you just had a bad dream.

  'Hunk' : You remember me? Your old pal Hunk

  'Hickory' : Or me, Hickory.

  'Zeke' : You couldn't forget my face could you?

  Dorothy : But it wasn't a dream, it was a place and you, and you and you and you were there.

  Professor Marvel : Oh.

  Dorothy : But you couldn't have been could you.

  Auntie Em : But we dream lots of silly things when we.

  Dorothy : No Aunt Em, this is a real truly live place. And I remember some of it wasn't very nice but most of it was beautiful but just the same all I kept saying to everybody was I want to go home and they sent me home.

  [everyone is skeptical] 

  Dorothy : doesn't anybody believe me?

  Uncle Henry : Of course we believe you Dorothy.

  Dorothy : But anyway Toto, we're home. Home. And this is my room and you're all here and I'm not gonna leave here ever ever again because I love you all. Oh Auntie Em, there's no place like home.

• Dorothy : Aunt Em, just listen what Miss Gulch did to Toto.

  Auntie Em : [not listening]  Dorothy, please, we're trying to count.

  Dorothy : But Aunt Em, she hit him.

  Uncle Henry : Don't bother us, honey. This old incubators gone bad and we're likely to lose some of our chicks.
