-
The Wicked Witch of the West : You stay out of this, Glinda! Or I'll fix you as well!
Glinda : Oh-ho-ho-ho, rubbish! You have no power here! Now begone, before somebody drops a house on YOU.
[Wicked Witch glances nervously at the sky]
-
Glinda : Only bad witches are ugly.
-
Glinda : Are you a good witch, or a bad witch?
Dorothy : Who me? I'm not a witch at all. I'm Dorothy Gale, from Kansas.
Glinda : Oh. Well, is that the witch?
[pointing to Toto]
Dorothy : Who, Toto? Toto's my dog!
Glinda : [laughs] Well, I'm a little muddled! The Munchkins called me because a new witch has just dropped a house on the Wicked Witch of the East. And there's the house, and here you are, and that's all that's left of the Wicked Witch of the East.
[she points to a pair of legs sticking out from under the house; Dorothy gasps]
Glinda : So, what the Munchkins want to know is, are you a good witch, or a bad witch?
Dorothy : But, I've already told you, I'm not a witch at all! Witches are old, and ugly!
[they hear giggles]
Dorothy : What was that?
Glinda : The Munchkins. They're laughing because, I *am* a Witch. I'm Glinda, the Witch of the North.
Dorothy : You are?
[she curtsies]
Dorothy : Oh, I beg your pardon! But, I've never heard of a beautiful witch before.
-
Glinda : Pooh, what a smell of sulfur.
-
Dorothy : Oh will you help me? Can you help me?
Glinda : You don't need to be helped any longer. You've always had the power to go back to Kansas.
Dorothy : I have?
The Scarecrow : Then why didn't you tell her before?
Glinda : Because she wouldn't have believed me. She had to learn it for herself.
The Tin Man : What have you learned, Dorothy?
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?
Glinda : That's all it is.
-
Glinda : Then close your eyes and tap your heels together three times. And think to yourself, 'There's no place like home'.
