Dorothy

• [repeated line] Well I’ll be.

• Golly, but I missed my friends... I'd really like to go back to Oz. Just for a visit you understand. Stay from Kansas too long and I'd get homesick, but I'd really like to go there for a little while.

Glinda

• The slippers protect you alone. The heartless, brainless and the cowardly, they’ll turn to solid stone.
