The Wizard of Oz1939

Wizard of Oz:
The great and powerful Oz knows why you have come. Step forward, Tin Man.

[Tin Man slowly and shakily steps forward]

Wizard of Oz:
You dare to come to me for a heart, do you? You clinking, clanking, collection of caliginous junk.

Tin Man:
[whimpers] Y-yes, sir. Y-yes, Your Honor. You see, a while back, we were walking down the yellow brick road and--

The Wizard of Oz:
QUIET!

[Tin Man runs back to his group]

The Wizard of Oz:
And you, Scarecrow, have the effrontery to ask for a brain, you billowing bale of bovine fodder.

Scarecrow:
Yes, Your Honor. I mean, Your Excellency. I mean, Y-Your Wizardry.

The Wizard of Oz:
Enough. And you, Lion.

[The Cowardly Lion walks forward, but still afraid]

The Wizard of Oz:
Well?

[The Cowardly Lion faints, and Dorothy, Scarecrow, and Tin Man try to get him to wake up]

Dorothy:
[angrily, to the Wizard] You oughta be ashamed of yourself, frightening him like that when he came to you for help.

The Wizard of Oz:
Silence, whippersnapper! The beneficent Oz has every intention of granting your requests.

Cowardly Lion:
[comes to] What's that? What'd he say? What'd he say?

The Wizard of Oz:
But first, you must prove yourselves worthy by performing a very small task. Bring me the broomstick of the Witch of the West.

Tin Man:
But we have to kill her together.

The Wizard of Oz:
Bring me her broomstick, and I'll grant your requests. Now, go.

Cowardly Lion:
But what if she kills us first?

The Wizard of Oz:
I said go!

[Once again frightened, the Cowardly Lion runs out of the Wizard's throne room and jumps through the window]
