Dawson's Creek1998

Gretchen Witter:
You know Dawson, it might interest you to know that I did take one film class in college.

Dawson:
Was it a monumental waste of time?

Gretchen Witter:
No, it was great actually. But you know what my teacher said was the most bogus line in Hollywood cinema?

Dawson:
What?

Gretchen Witter:
"There's no place like home."

Dawson:
Wizard of Oz.

Gretchen Witter:
Exactly. It's what everybody remembers about the movie, but it doesn't resonate with the rest of the story. Think about it. You know home is this desolate, gray, dust bowl of a place where some nasty old lady is trying to kill your dog. And Oz is ...

Dawson:
Technicolor.

Gretchen Witter:
And sure it has it's problems. You know, poppy fields, flying monkeys, ...

Dawson:
Talking trees.

Gretchen Witter:
But along the way you make friends. Good friends. With people that you never even knew existed when you were growing up. Straw people, tin people, ...

Dawson:
And lions.

Gretchen Witter:
[laughs] Exactly. And you help each other realize that all the things that you want to be, you already are.
