What do we do when our buddy is in distress?

Raise our hand and call for help.

That is correct, Christopher. Thank you.

Don't worry, Mrs. Murphy, we've only run tornado drills

a thousand times.

A thousand times would never be enough.

A tornado drill is mandatory procedure in these parts

with good reason.

And I don't need to remind you, it is tornado season now.

Form a line. [Mrs. Murphy blows whistle]

Mrs. Murphy, my buddy's not in line.

Elizabeth Haskens, for heavens' sakes, dear,

stand with Christopher.

Pay attention.

I am paying attention.

To the drill, dear.

I know all about tornadoes and how powerful they can be.

But my name is not Elizabeth

and I wish you wouldn't call me that.

All right, dear. Let's not start that again.

A tornado drill is not the time for games or exceptions.

Do you understand me?

Yes, ma'am.

Fine.

Not really.

What?

Nothing.

That's not what I heard.

Nothing important.

Then you think about it by yourself this afternoon in the

library while everybody else is playing outside.

Perhaps your memory will improve.

Is that clear?

Yes, ma'am.

All right, children, form a line.

[Mrs. Murphy blows whistle]

I've reviewed the files in detail.

And it appears you've done a superb job.

I'd heard you were conscientious.

Still, you didn't have much time.

Well, nothing substitutes for meeting a child in person,

but I like to be prepared.

Oh, that's Elizabeth's file.

She's been with us quite a while.

She has a - a vivid imagination and loves to read.

If you knew what that girl has been through - She...

I believe I know what she's been through,

assuming her file is complete?

Her file is complete.

I dare say your arrival and my impending departure

may set her off again.

If it were my decision, I would have ordered a full evaluation.

I notice you haven't done that.

I've been working with children my entire life.

It's going to be your decision.

It's not your decision yet.

I'm not claiming to have all the answers.

I was just wondering why you hadn't

Perhaps you'd like to meet her?

Yes, yes, I would.

I'll see that it's arranged.

I'll do everything I can to make sure

that the transition goes well.

I have great respect for what you've accomplished here and

I do look forward to working with you.

Good.

Now, if you'll excuse me,

we had an incident this afternoon

and I'd like to check on the girl.

You're here!

Thank heavens we found you!

I've been waiting for you.

I'll rust to pieces if my heart doesn't

burst of happiness first!

Where's the Lion?

Did a good witch help you?

How are things in Oz?

We have so much to tell you.

We've missed you so much.

I've missed you too.

We'll talk later.

We understand.

We know what to do.

What's going on?

Nothing.

Is someone here with you?

Do you see anyone?

No.

But I heard you speaking.

We have always been frank with each other.

Young lady, I expect you to be frank with me now.

Two friends have come to visit.

Here?

Yes.

Now?

Yes, ma'am.

Where?

Do they have names?

Everyone has a name.

Do you know yours?

My name is Dorothy.

Your name is Elizabeth.

My name is Dorothy Gale.

And your friends have come to visit from the Land of Oz?

Yes, ma'am.

The Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman.

[Mrs. Murphy sighs]

Tell me, dear, will they be with us for long?

Please, ma'am, if it'd be all right.

[Mrs. Murphy sighs]

Your request is not as simple as it

once might have been.

I suppose you've heard that I will not be

in charge here forever.

Everyone knows.

You must have welcomed the news.

No, ma'am, I didn't.

The board has appointed my replacement.

His name is Dr. Edwards.

There will be a transition period

in which we share authority.

Everyone knows that too.

I have long believed that it is enough

to speak directly to a child.

Speak plainly, leave the child be and things will sort

themselves out for the best.

I sometimes wonder if my philosophy has served you well.

Why are you telling me all this?

A request such as yours is no longer my

decision to consider alone.

If you want your friends to stay,

you'll have to speak with Dr. Edwards.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

Yes, ma'am.

Are you willing to do so?

They came a long way.

I can't guarantee the result.

Will you be leaving the orphanage soon?

Well, not right away.

But at some point, yes.

There's still some daylight.

Would you like to go outside and play?

If it's all right, I'd like to stay here and read.

Fine.

I'll fetch some potatoes from the cellar.

If you need me, I'll be in the kitchen.

How did you get here?

We came in a balloon.

What happened?

Well, after the Wizard left

Yes?

Things went badly in Oz.

The situation is discouraging.

I feel hopeless.

The situation is dangerous.

I'm scared.

Think of something.

I know you can.

[Scarecrow sighs]

I don't know why I didn't... I didn't think of it before.

Think of what?

There's only one person with the wisdom and know-how

who could possibly help us.

The Good Witch of the North?

No.

The Good Witch of the South?

I don't think so.

The Wizard himself.

Absolutely not.

Who then?

Dorothy.

She solved all of our problems before, didn't she?

Of course, she did.

Dorothy, who else?

How will we find her?

If the Wizard was gonna take Dorothy to Kansas in a balloon,

then I don't see why we can't use one too.

I'm afraid of heights.

And I'm afraid of rain.

And I'm scared of fire.

But even fire, the thing that frightens me most, is not going

to stop me from making this trip.

And a little rain won't hold me back.

No height is too high for me where Dorothy is concerned.

When?

At midnight, when the Winged Monkeys

are afraid and won't fly.

Will we find her?

My head says it will be difficult.

But my heart says we will.

Come on.

Get in.

Is there room enough in the basket for me?

It's not very big.

Think of Dorothy.

Dorothy, Dorothy!

Yes. Dorothy. [Cowardly Lion roars]

Hey! What are you doing?

We're going to Kansas.

Says who?

Says I, King of the Forest.

We'll see about that.

Yes, we will.

Come on, Lion. Get in.

Go!

What will we do without you?

Probably be better off.

Say hello to Dorothy for me.

My regards to Toto.

Goodbye.

Goodbye, Lion.

Goodbye, Lion! Good luck!

Look, look. Look.

They're gone.

Now, who's first?

State bird of Maryland?

- The oriole? - Yes

State flower of Massachusetts?

Mayflower.

Correct.

Juneau is the capital of?

Alaska.

Good.

The seagull is the state bird of?

California?

Not so.

Washington?

No.

Is it Oregon?

Uh, we're playing a game but let's not guess.

Utah.

[kids laughing]

Utah?

Utah is correct.

Very good, Elizabeth.

Thank you.

But my name is not Elizabeth.

And I wish you wouldn't call me that.

I've asked you not to.

What's the largest city in the Land of Oz?

The Scarecrow doesn't really have a brain, does he?

Tin Woodman doesn't have a heart.

Don't tease her.

That's all right, Christopher.

It's easy to joke about places you've never been

and make fun of people you haven't met.

I'll keep watch to the north and east and, uh,

you keep watch to the south and west.

There's no telling how long this trip may take us

or what we may encounter.

Be careful, you'll burn.

That was a close call.

Oh no.

Be careful too or you'll rust.

What's wrong?

I'm worried about the Lion.

I wish he were here with us.

It won't be easy for him alone.

Well, that's true but the Winged Monkeys fear Dorothy.

And they know we're on our way to find her.

They... they won't dare hurt the Lion now.

I suppose the Lion will manage.

But the sooner we find Dorothy, the better.

Do you remember our first trip to the Emerald City?

Like it was yesterday.

We were all together then.

Yes, we were.

Look.

Oh goodness.

I've never seen anything like it.

I don't remember Dorothy ever talking about such a large lake.

Look at all that water.

If we should land in that water,

I'm afraid that I would rust beyond repair.

What's bothering you?

Look at those tall poles with smoke coming out.

Where there's smoke, there's often fire.

Could Kansas be a place where there is smoke without fire?

I don't see how but something tells me

we're about to find out.

Hold on!

I'm holding!

Better land than water!

Better smoke than

[Tin Woodman and Scarecrow scream]

Do you see that?

Whoa.

Kansas, Kansas at last.

That wasn't much fun for you, was it?

I'd be willing to suffer much worse for Dorothy.

Look!

Munchkins.

In prison?

[girls laughing] No. No.

Greetings, Munchkins.

They seem friendly.

Munchkins of Kansas, hello.

Hello, Scarecrow.

Hello, Tin Woodman.

Oh, you know who we are.

Where's the Lion?

Well, he wanted to come.

When the Winged Monkeys tried to stop us, the Lion stayed behind

to protect us.

Then, he's not really a coward at all.

You Munchkins know many things.

Do you know why we're here?

You've come to find Dorothy.

Incredible.

What a wondrous place.

Munchkins, do you know where she is?

Kansas.

I thought we were in Kansas.

Kansas is a long way from here.

If we aren't in Kansas, then where are we?

New Jersey.

Is New Jersey a bad place?

New Jersey is a good place.

Then why are you imprisoned behind this fence?

[kids laugh]

This is a school.

We go home at the end of the day.

At least you landed in the right country.

You might have landed in China.

Or Ethiopia.

Or Italy.

Or a country in North America besides the United States.

Like Canada.

What's a country?

[kids laugh]

We'll show you on a map.

What's a map?

Children, what is so important that it keeps us from class?

The Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman are looking for Dorothy,

Miss Thomson.

No, the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman

were never looking for Dorothy.

They were discovered by Dorothy on her way to the

Emerald City.

Did you tell them they won't find Dorothy here?

Yes, we did.

You must be a witch.

[kids gasp]

I mean, a... a good witch.

You would not be the first person to call me a witch.

And I'd suggest if you're going to wear costumes and hang around

elementary school playgrounds that you better get permission

from the school office before someone calls the police.

No!

Please leave immediately.

We have no intention of staying.

Our sole purpose is to find Dorothy.

Please tell us which way is Kansas?

And how long will it take to walk there?

[kids laugh]

Our balloon won't be of any use anymore.

Please, Miss Thomson.

Help them. Please help them. Please. Come on.

All right, all right, enough.

I don't know who you really are and under normal circumstances

you can be sure that I wouldn't get involved.

However, if I give you the benefit of the doubt, I'd guess

that you've undertaken this journey out of gratitude.

You, Scarecrow, because thanks to Dorothy, you have a brain.

And you, Tin Woodman, because thanks to Dorothy,

you have a heart.

Is that the reason for your trip, to thank Dorothy?

What you say Dorothy has done for us is true.

How I wish I could tell you that gratitude

is the reason we are here.

You may not know this but after the Wizard left I was placed in

charge of the Emerald City.

I recall that being so.

Do we remember that, children, from the books?

Yes. Yes. It's true. Yes, it is.

You may be aware I was asked to govern the Winkies whom the

Wicked Witch of the West enslaved and

was freed by Dorothy.

We remember that too. Don't we children?

Yes.

We do.

I wasn't suited for the job.

I wasn't up to the task, either.

The more I tried, the less I seemed to accomplish.

I suppose from a distance problems in Oz are unimportant.

Oh, I assure you that what happens in Oz is of great

importance to people living in other places.

I, for one, I have never forgotten how many times as a

child I imagined what it must be like to be in Oz

and wished that I could help.

You can help.

I'm going into the city this afternoon.

If you wait until 3:00 o'clock, I'll give you a ride to Penn.

Uh, that is Pennsylvania station.

Well, being metal,

you would never pass security.

[Ms. Thomson laughs]

Where's Pennsylvania Station?

New York.

Come on, children. Pull.

Children, who knows what plants need in order to grow?

Emily?

Water?

That's correct.

Ah, Abby?

Sunshine.

That's correct too.

Ah, wrong broom.

Oh.

Oh.

Yes.

Other side.

Uh-hmm.

Hold it.

Oh.

Left hand lower.

This is New Jersey.

And here's Kansas.

That's the Statue of Liberty.

Has she been that way for long?

She has.

I know exactly how she feels.

Oh!

You've got a train to catch.

Let's go.

Wow.

Oh. We're almost there.

Here we are.

I hope you find what you're looking for.

Good luck to you both.

Good luck to you, too.

Oh, thank you.

Oh, and say "hi" to Dorothy.

[Scarecrow and Tin Woodman chuckle]

We will. We will.

[Ms. Thomson chuckles] Hurry.

You're going to be late.

It's that way.

That way.

- Bye. - Bye.

Wow.

You going to Kansas City?

As a matter of fact, we are.

Do you have tickets?

What are tickets?

You'll need tickets to go to Kansas City.

Where do we get them?

Do you have money?

You don't know what money is?

Money makes the world go round.

It must be a very precious thing.

It is.

And you can never have enough.

But what is it?

Um, money is what we exchange for other things.

Like emeralds.

Yes.

Do you got one?

Yes.

Yes, we do.

That looks real.

Of course it's real.

I'll make you a deal.

This rock won't get you very far around here.

What you'll need is something we call Emerald Paper.

Fortunately for you, I've got some.

Great.

I'd be willing to trade you some of my Emerald Paper

for your stone.

You would?

That way, you can get to Kansas City.

That's where we're going.

And I can get out of here.

Lucky for us.

I wonder if we should have traded all of our emeralds.

Too late now.

Thank you.

Two tickets to Kansas.

You're not making this trip to see Dorothy, are you?

That's why we're here.

Yeah. I could tell by your get-ups.

Do you know where she is?

I'd say Kansas is a safe guess.

But there's something you should know.

Something that might save you some trouble.

What's that?

Kansas City, the final destination on your train,

is not in the state of Kansas.

Where is it?

It's in the state of Missouri.

Now there is a Kansas City in the state of Kansas.

Yeah, I hope so.

But it's not as large as the Kansas City

in the state of Missouri.

You've got to be kidding me.

I wish I were.

Is there a train that takes you to Kansas City

in the state of Kansas?

There used to be.

Oh.

All right. Look, the good news is that once you're

in Kansas City, Missouri, you're not too far

from Kansas City, Kansas.

So I imagine that's why they call it Kansas City, Missouri

because it's on the way to Kansas City, Kansas?

I have no idea why they named it Kansas City, Missouri

and I really don't care.

I mentioned it because we had some misunderstandings

in the past.

Now, these tickets will get you to Kansas City, Missouri.

When you're there, you can take a bus to Kansas City, Kansas.

You got it?

Yeah Okay.

- Good. Have a safe trip. - Thank you.

Oh, hang on. You got some change, guys.

Be careful.

I have no idea what a bus is.

And to be honest with you, I really don't care.

As long as it takes us to Dorothy,

that's all that matters.

We're on our way.

Yes, we are.

[Scarecrow and Tin Woodman chuckle]

I don't want do this anymore.

They can come to the city.

But they... they can't go.

Mom and dad are expecting us to go over there.

Of course, they have a car.

What are you doing?

You know what I mean?

You know what, this is not going to happen anymore.

I hear the sound of steel against steel.

A sound I know well.

I was nearly a rusted hulk of metal myself before Dorothy and

you came along to rescue me.

A scarecrow.

If it hadn't been for Dorothy,

I'd still be hanging on a pole myself.

Why not say hello?

Greetings, fellow scarecrow.

Now watch yourself.

I haven't seen any straw on this train.

You wouldn't want to lose an arm now.

No, I certainly wouldn't.

Not when we're this close.

As long as I live, I will never forget

the splendor of this land.

Or the kindness of its people.

Shall we go inside?

Hi.

My name is Dr. Edwards.

How do you do?

Won't you come in?

Please sit down.

Mrs. Murphy tells me that you have two visitors.

Yes, sir.

And when did your friends arrive?

On Saturday.

Have you met them before?

I have.

Oh, so you've known them a long time?

Yes.

Can you tell me who they are?

Go ahead, dear.

One is called the Scarecrow.

The other is called the Tin Woodman.

[Elizabeth sighs] That's funny.

After all we've been through, I never asked them

if they preferred to be called by proper names.

After all you've been through?

There was a terrible tornado.

I was caught inside the house with Toto, my dog.

And then a strange thing happened.

The tornado lifted our house and carried it a long way away.

To another world, a place without problems?

I wouldn't say that.

Just to begin with, my house landed on a very wicked witch.

Perhaps, it would be more appropriate to say a place where

it's possible to take problems into your own hands

and solve them.

You can say whatever you like.

Did you know that there are good witches as well as wicked ones?

What does a good witch do?

The Good Witch suggested I visit the Wizard of Oz.

So I set out for the Emerald City.

That's where the Wizard lived.

And that's when I met the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman,

the friends who are visiting me now.

What kind of person was the Wizard?

The Wizard had a lot of power.

At least everyone believed so.

The Good Witch thought he would help me get back to Kansas.

Did he?

The Wizard was a fake.

Then how did you get home?

I didn't know he was a fake at the time.

He told me if I could kill the Wicked Witch of the West,

he would send me home.

Were you able to do that?

Yes.

But that didn't solve my problems.

I wanted to go home.

You mentioned a dog named Toto.

But where is Toto now?

Toto was taken from me.

For all I know, Toto's in the dog pound.

Do you ever wish to contact the Wizard?

Why would I do that?

The Wizard tried to kill me.

Aren't you being a little harsh?

Maybe the Wizard was just trying to buy some time.

You know, people who are in positions of authority often

find themselves facing difficult decisions.

My impression is that the Wizard was a very good man

who found himself in a difficult situation.

Doctor Edwards, let's listen to the girl.

Is there anything else you'd like to say?

Oz is a very beautiful place.

I imagine you'd like to go back and see it again.

I think about it often.

I've never seen a place so beautiful in my entire life.

Still, I didn't like being away from Aunt Em and Uncle Henry.

Yeah, I bet you'd like to see them again too.

Of course I would.

Why don't you?

Aunt Em and Uncle Henry are dead.

Do you understand that sometimes we create stories in order to

help us better understand the world that we live in?

I'm telling you these things because I'd like

my friends to stay.

Well, Mrs. Murphy and I will discuss it

and we'll make a decision soon.

There are some aspects of your story that I'd like to consider.

What does that mean?

Parts that don't make sense or add up.

Everything I've told you is true.

Is it?

Oh, I'm sorry.

I seem to have lost my way.

Would you mind looking at my ticket?

My seat, I believe, is somewhere in this section.

Uh, we don't know much about tickets.

Won't you sit with us?

Yes. Please join us.

Oh, I... I... I'd be delighted.

Thank you.

Uh, I guess you've noticed, uh, by my accent that

I don't come from around here.

I hail from the South, from the state of Georgia.

We have not been to Georgia

but it was pointed out to us on a map.

This afternoon.

Yes.

Where are you going?

Kansas.

Oh, that's a flat state.

Considered to be without unique features but, I dare say,

it is subject to terrible tornadoes.

[Charles laughs]

Is that what Kansas is best known for, tornadoes?

Uh, I don't think you'd, uh, get any argument about that.

However, Kansas is also very well known as being the home of,

uh, Dorothy Gale and her little dog Toto.

Then you know Dorothy?

Everybody knows Dorothy.

That's wonderful because we really need to find her.

I don't mean to be rude but have you looked in the library?

Library?

What library?

Any library.

Dorothy is... is a friend of ours, so if you know where she is,

then please tell us.

I think you will find her in almost any library.

Um, I'm afraid I've misspoken because although it's true when

I say I know Dorothy,

it might have been more accurate to say that I know of her.

Tickets. Please have your tickets ready.

Please have your tickets ready.

Oh, excuse me sir.

I'm not sure I'm seated in the right place.

Close enough.

I'm not sure if we're in the right place either.

No problem.

Thank you.

Allow me to introduce myself.

My name is Charles Samuel Williams.

Oh.

People call me the Tin Woodman.

[Charles chuckles] Well,

People call me the Scarecrow.

Oh, yes. Well, my, my.

If I had known I was in the company of the Scarecrow

and the Tin Woodman

I would have surely answered your questions

a... a lot differently.

As you may have observed, I'm blind.

Nobody's perfect.

For the longest time I didn't have a brain.

And I didn't have a heart.

I consider it one of my greatest blessings

as a young man that I learned to read.

How did you do that?

A system of raised dots on paper known as Braille.

I'm able to read by touch.

Reading has allowed me to see things

I otherwise never would have seen,

to visit places I've never been to,

to... to meet people

I otherwise would never have met.

Tell me, how are things in OZ these days?

Terrible.

Oh.

There's no cooperation of any kind.

People wake up in the morning thinking only of themselves

and then they go to bed at night scolding themselves for not

having been more selfish during the day.

No one seems to care.

Even the best citizens of the Emerald City

are asleep in the poppy fields.

How distressing.

I'm afraid, sir, if... if you could see,

you would see that Oz is losing its color.

I'm sure that many people would be

greatly upset by what you've told me.

I don't believe things can be well here

if they're not truly well in Oz.

That... that marvelous country of stately trees

bursting with luscious fruits,

banks of gorgeous flowers

and birds... birds of rare and brilliant plumage.

Oh yes, Oz is a very special place.

I think you'd be surprised to learn

how much Oz means to so many people.

We had no idea before we made this trip.

How could you?

It is precisely because of Dorothy's experience in Oz

that she was able to appreciate what really matters in life.

I count myself as just one among many

who have benefited from that girl's courage and insight.

Perhaps you would help us.

Yes.

Without question as any well-meaning person would.

Dorothy often spoke of an Aunt Em.

And an Uncle Henry.

This all happened many years ago that Dorothy lived with her

Aunt Em and Uncle Henry.

If you were able to find Dorothy today,

I don't think you would be able to

find her living on a family farm.

Where would she be?

If you were to find her today, you would probably find her

living in a foster home or even in an orphanage.

We... we don't know what that means.

A child who has lost his or her parents is an orphan

and an orphan lives in an orphanage.

You understand that Dorothy only lived with Aunt Em and Uncle

Henry because she was an orphan, don't you?

Dorothy was so eager to return home,

I had no idea her... her life was so difficult.

To be honest, I... I... I never thought about it.

Dorothy was an orphan who discovered

the true meaning of home.

I understand what you are saying.

Uh, it is most fortunate that we have met you.

Imagine our luck.

Meeting a wizard on a train.

[Charles laughs] A wizard?

I'm not a wizard.

I'm nothing of the sort.

But you know so much about people that you haven't met.

There was a moment when you were talking about Oz

that I was sure you had been there.

No, I have never been to Oz.

Where I have been is to the library.

I know you because of a marvelous book.

A book about Oz?

Oh, yes.

I've read it many times.

That's why I'm familiar with your story.

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz was written by a man who

lived many years ago.

His name was L. Frank Baum.

How does The Wonderful Wizard of Oz end?

That's a fair question.

The story ends when Dorothy and her little dog Toto

return to Kansas.

It's been all downhill since, I assure you.

[Charles laughs] Well, I said it was a fair question,

but I don't believe I've given you a fair answer.

Because a book is not written only once.

A book is rewritten every time it is read.

Characters live in the hearts of those who embrace them.

That's why being familiar with the end of one story, no matter

how popular or well-known, does not necessarily make us familiar

with the end of other stories in which the

characters we love may live.

It would be so much easier if there was only one ending.

Many people feel that way.

You see,

I'm afraid there is something that's painful to admit.

[Tin Woodman sighs] We're worried.

Yes, we are.

Worried about how things will work out in the end.

You're afraid you will fail to accomplish your mission.

Yes, and we can't shake the feeling that our failure could

somehow hurt Dorothy.

If I think about this too much, I wonder about what we are doing

or why we're here.

I don't believe you would even be here right now if someone who

loves you hadn't called you.

How could that be?

Well, perhaps you've been summoned to create a new ending

to a story that otherwise might have been much more sad.

You mentioned that we might find Dorothy in an orphanage.

Where is it?

There are many.

More than one?

Oh, yes.

There's an orphanage in every state, in every country.

There are orphanages everywhere in the world.

Everywhere in the world.

Yes.

Everywhere.

Then we will visit every one.

Yes.

We will visit every one until we find her.

This is the final call for passengers boarding train 38,

please proceed to Gate 7.

This is the final call for passengers boarding train 38,

That's you.

I know.

Dorothy.

Out the door and to the right.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Bye.

You should be more careful.

You're not only endangering yourself,

you're endangering others too.

Thanks for the lecture.

You're welcome.

♪♪

Mrs. Murphy says you have to leave.

Oh, no.

That can't be.

We've barely just arrived.

You traveled such a long way.

It isn't fair.

Come with us, Dorothy.

We love you very much.

I love you too.

But if we're caught,

I'm afraid they'll do something terrible to you.

We've been in difficult situations before

and everything turned out okay.

Kansas is not Oz.

People here don't mean to be bad.

But they often do bad things.

You may have noticed that I'm not wearing

the magic shoes anymore.

There aren't any roads around here paved with yellow brick.

If we leave, where will we go?

I often have good ideas.

Sometimes I feel things in my heart.

We better come up with something quickly.

Mrs. Murphy may be a good witch but she's very strict.

Well, then let's make a run for it.

Yeah.

I... I... I don't believe a... a good witch could harm you if two

Wicked Witches failed in the past.

That was a special situation.

When all the pieces came together just so.

Everything has become so confused since then.

Things have become confused in Oz too.

Did something happen?

No. Yes.

It's become hard to tell what's upside down

and what's right side up, hasn't it?

Who would have imagined things could go so badly?

Not only in the Emerald City but all over Oz.

There's no use pretending with you.

I'm no longer in charge of the Emerald City.

And I'm no longer in charge of the Winkies.

The citizens of the Emerald City only respected the Scarecrow

because they were afraid of the Wizard.

When they realized that the Wizard wasn't coming back

[Tin Woodman sighs] they began to do whatever they wanted.

And that didn't include listening to me.

Things didn't go much better for me.

After you melted the Wicked Witch of the West

there was unanimous agreement that I should lead the Winkies.

But admiration and respect quickly turned

to resentment and anger.

Things went back to normal very quickly or worse.

I mean there... there are more arguments

and fights now than ever.

Have you asked the Lion for help?

[Tin Woodman sighs] The Lion asked us.

He has his own troubles.

The animals don't respect him at all.

Apparently they wanted someone stronger,

someone who acts with more confidence.

Which is what the Winkies want.

And the citizens of the Emerald City as well.

Someone who makes things easier,

who can explain complicated matters in a simple way.

I can't tell you how many times I wished you could

drop your house on some of these troublemakers.

I often feel the same way.

But we can't be dropping houses every time we get upset.

In the end it wasn't any one thing we did or didn't do.

In the end I'm afraid...

That we were not wanted.

No, we were not.

I'm disappointed but I'm really not surprised.

You're not?

Really?

As much as I appreciated the citizens of the Emerald City

and the Winkies,

I never really got the feeling they did much

thinking for themselves.

Even when things were going well and it seemed as if

I couldn't do anything wrong,

I don't know where I would have been without

the two of you and the Lion.

Of course that probably doesn't make what you're going

through any less painful.

You have no idea.

[Tin Woodman sighs]

I think I do.

To lead from your heart, to set your best example.

[Tin Woodman sighs] And yet no one cares.

I had such big thoughts.

There were so many things I believed we could do to make the

Emerald City a better place if everyone worked together.

The Winged Monkeys are in charge of the Emerald City now.

And the Winkies, they have a new leader every week.

You can imagine what it's like in the forest.

I thought with a brain I would be able to

solve every problem. [Scarecrow sighs]

And I felt with a heart that I would be able to mend every

heartache and disappointment.

It may be that there hasn't yet been a brain invented

that can solve every problem.

And a heart may not have been built that is able to

mend every heartache and disappointment.

It doesn't make me think any less of you.

Come with us, Dorothy.

Everybody loves you in Oz.

They'll listen to you.

I wouldn't count on that.

Not based on what you've just told me.

But you have a way about you.

You're good in difficult situations.

Yeah. You never give up.

Sometimes I feel like giving up.

But you don't.

You're an excellent leader.

I am?

You saved us, didn't you?

As much as I'd like to help you, I'm having a hard enough time

with things here.

I don't believe you could depend on me for much right now.

Did something happen?

Many things happened.

To begin with, Uncle Henry died in a farm accident not long

after I returned.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Aunt Em began failing soon after that.

She died of a broken heart, I'm sure.

She died of kidney failure.

I couldn't bear to see her in so much pain.

After that I was placed in a foster home,

a series of foster homes.

Finally I landed in the orphanage.

You can't imagine how much I've missed you.

[Tin Woodman sighs] Yes, we can.

There's something we've been afraid to ask you about.

What's that?

About Toto.

Where is he?

Yes, where's Toto?

Toto has been taken to an animal shelter.

Animal shelter?

An animal shelter is a place for animals without homes.

You mean an orphanage for animals?

Yes.

Is there such a place in Kansas?

Many.

Many?

Not only in Kansas but in every state and country.

There are animal shelters everywhere in the world.

Everywhere in the world?

Everywhere in the world.

Then that's where we'll look.

There's no time to lose.

Animals aren't kept in an animal shelter forever.

If they run out of space an animal can be killed.

Killed?

You don't mean that.

I do.

But that can't be.

But it is.

What did Toto do?

Toto didn't do anything.

We found you, didn't we?

Yes.

Then we'll find Toto.

Please.

You must find Toto.

Please.

[dogs bark]

Have you lost a pet?

Not exactly.

Don't tell me.

You're looking for a dog named Toto?

What's wrong?

You said "Don't tell me."

[animal shelter attendant laughs] "Don't tell me" means

I'm going to make a guess.

May I ask you another question?

Would like us to answer?

Yes, I would.

Where's Dorothy?

Unfortunately we've been separated.

Were going to meet again soon.

In the meantime if we could find Toto

If we could reunite them it would mean a lot to her.

Dorothy has suffered a lot since she returned to Kansas.

Well it probably hasn't been easy for you either

without Dorothy.

No. It has not.

I've had three Totos in the shelter this month.

Three?

Toto is a common name among strays.

You can imagine.

Actually I... I can't.

More than one Toto?

Many more.

Would any of these dogs be our Toto?

Probably not.

How disappointing.

Might they at least be related to the Toto we seek?

All dogs are related.

[Scarecrow & Tin Woodman gasp] That's a start.

[animal shelter attendant laughs] Like I said I had three

Totos in the last month and I've got one now.

Would you like to take a look?

Please.

Follow me.

[cats meow]

[animal shelter attendant sighs] Wait here, please.

This dog is named Toto.

There must be a mistake.

I understand you came here looking for a particular dog

named Toto.

But if a child once loved this dog and named it Toto,

let me hear you tell this dog he is not Toto.

Excuse us for a minute.

That dog is not Toto.

You don't need a brain to see that and neither do I.

[Tin Woodman sighs] We're sorry.

Do you think a dog was ever more special to a child because that

dog was black, small, large or white?

This dog and thousands of other dogs were named Toto by a

child who loved it.

Excuse us for another moment.

She paints a touching picture.

But we're not looking for any dog named Toto.

We're looking for a particular dog named Toto.

That's true but at the same time perhaps it

wouldn't hurt to have some help.

What do you mean?

If all dogs are related perhaps this dog named Toto could put

the word out to other dogs about our dog named Toto.

You've been thinking again.

[Scarecrow laughs]

It certainly can't hurt to ask.

We're looking for a relative of yours that shares the same name.

Uh, do you know him?

A small, black dog who also goes by the name of Toto.

[Toto barks]

Would you help us find him?

Won't you help us find our Toto?

[Toto barks]

Of course he will.

I believe that you'll discover when a dog is taken from a

shelter he is extremely loyal and will never forget you.

Let's take all the dogs.

Let's take all the little Lions too.

[cat meows]

Yes we'll take them all. [Scarecrow laughs]

I wish I could do that but you can imagine all the requests

we've had from someone wishing they could do

more than they are able. So we've had to set a limit.

One adoption per family, per week.

We'll take Toto today.

Are you aware there's a small fee for

when an animal is adopted?

A fee?

What's that?

Well, we have expenses.

We must buy food, medical supplies and there are bills for

water and heat.

You're talking about money.

Yes.

Don't worry about that.

We've got the Emerald Paper.

[animal shelter attendant laughs]

[Toto barks]

Toto?

Toto, come here.

Toto, I was afraid I'd never see you again.

I've missed you so much.

Elizabeth.

You're safe now.

Everyone inside, please.

I'd like you to go inside at once.

May I keep him, Mrs. Murphy?

Please?

I asked you to go inside.

Toto is my dog.

Toto, sit.

[Toto barks]

Toto, sit.

[Toto barks]

Paw.

Elizabeth, you're embarrassing yourself and the orphanage.

Leave this dog alone.

No.

Leave this dog alone or I shall be forced to

call the animal shelter.

You wouldn't do that.

If you behave this way, I have no choice.

You made the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman leave,

I won't let you take Toto from me now.

I'm going to call the animal shelter.

You would never do that.

Run away, Toto. [Toto barks]

Hide!

All right. You heard Mrs. Murphy.

Everyone inside, come on.

Dorothy.

You came back.

We weren't sure we should.

I don't think anyone saw us.

I'm glad to see you again.

But we should keep our voices down.

Mrs. Murphy and Dr. Edwards had a long meeting.

They're going to send me away.

Where would they send you?

There are places.

I don't know the details but it's time for me

to leave anyway.

Just say the word.

We're waiting.

I have a favor to ask.

Anything.

Mrs. Murphy keeps a file on each of the children in her office.

The files are held in a metal cabinet.

I'd like you to read my file this evening

while everyone's asleep.

Shouldn't we do that together?

I'm not allowed to go in there, but you can.

There will be a bed check soon.

As long as I'm in my bunk, no one will suspect us.

Well, how will we know which file is yours?

Yeah.

Look for the file with Dorothy Gale written on it.

Okay.

But even if the file doesn't have my name,

you'll have no problem.

Mine is the thickest one.

Armstrong, Amos.

Good start.

Bennett, Cynthia.

Keep going.

Childs, Jonathan.

Not yet.

Oh, Hill, Marie.

Don't get discouraged.

Wilson, Dexter.

Last file.

It is possible that you missed one?

I don't see how but would you like to look?

It's not that I doubt you, my friend.

It's just that we need to be sure.

[Scarecrow sighs] Of course.

She did say it would be the thickest one.

Okay.

[Tin Woodman gasps]

That file.

It must be.

Okay, um... "She has a hard time distinguishing

between what's real and what's imagined."

Is that so unusual?

And often engages in conversation

with imaginary friends.

Most recently, she claims that the Scarecrow and

the Tin Woodman have come to visit.

Well, we have come to visit.

And the girl believes that she is Dorothy and has been to Oz.

That's more than a belief.

A fact is a fact.

Although for the most part, we have been able to accommodate

the girl's fantasies, there can be no guarantee the orphanage

will continue to be able to do so.

As a young woman, her confusion has the potential to create

havoc for her and for others.

I've therefore reluctantly come to the conclusion

that absent a dramatic turnaround

other options must be considered.

What does that mean?

I don't know.

Perhaps you'll forgive me, I... I feel relieved.

Why?

That can't possibly be Dorothy's file.

[Tin Woodman chuckles] Our friendship with Dorothy

has always been real.

And we both know that she's been to Oz.

[Tin Woodman laughs] Did you check the name on the file?

Oh, I didn't.

Let's see.

Um, Haskens, Elizabeth.

[Scarecrow laughs]

Yes. The wrong file.

We need to find Dorothy's file.

What should we do?

The most important thing is that we not be discovered.

We can come back another time.

Come on.

It's not like Dorothy to keep something like this to herself.

If there's another child in this orphanage suffering from this

kind of confusion, I believe Dorothy would have mentioned it.

Perhaps we can help this girl named Elizabeth Haskens.

Settle her down.

Shed a little light.

I don't know what to think.

We've got to go.

You don't know what to think?

You're the one with the brain, imagine how I feel.

A tornado?

It wasn't supposed to head this way.

The radio says it's moving fast.

Well, should I get some umbrellas?

If you want to lose them.

Don't we have a shelter here?

We have one, it's too small.

[Mrs. Murphy blows whistle]

We need to get ourselves to the middle school

and into their shelter quickly.

We don't have much time.

Are we clear about what to do?

Yes, Mrs. Murphy.

Are there any questions?

No, Mrs. Murphy.

Let's go.

Stay in line. Stay in line.

All right, children, let's go.

Just keep going.

Keep moving.

Come on, hurry up.

Let's go.

Come on, come on.

Hurry up, hurry up.

Go fast.

Hurry.

Let's keep going.

Let's go.

Stay in one line.

Come on.

Hang on to each other.

Hang on to each other's hands.

Come on, everybody. Let's go.

Keep moving.

Let's go.

Come on everybody. Let's go.

Keep moving. Let's go.

People, move along.

Move along.

Let's go. Let's go.

Mrs. Murphy! Mrs. Murphy!

Elizabeth! Elizabeth!

I don't want to live here anymore.

Keep going.

I'm going after her.

You can't, you'll be killed.

Toto, you're safe.

[Toto barks]

I don't want to turn back.

[Toto barks]

Dorothy.

We're here.

I won't leave without you.

You came to Kansas for my help and

I haven't been much help at all.

But we'll be together again in Oz.

You won't have to hide.

I won't have to pretend.

Are you ready?

We're not gonna let you die.

What makes you say that?

You wouldn't let us die.

No matter how unhappy you were

or how badly things were going for you.

You always kept us alive in your heart.

And in your thoughts and now it's our turn

to do the same for you.

I don't understand.

You have a heart.

Hearts aren't built to mend every heartache

and disappointment.

I learned that from you.

Hearts are built to give hope.

You have a brain too.

Brains aren't designed to solve every problem.

You taught me that yourself.

Brains are designed to remind us that anything is possible.

We're going to leave you now.

What?

Thank you for everything.

Yes.

Thank you.

I can't stand to stay here by myself.

We love you.

That will never change.

Don't leave me.

Goodbye, Dorothy.

Goodbye.

No.

Elizabeth!

Elizabeth!

Dorothy!

I couldn't help her.

Not even when she was running away.

First of all, we don't know that we've lost her.

Secondly, in this business, it is never "I," it is only "we."

Oh, when I think about how I behaved the other day,

threatening her like I did about a dog, I feel ashamed of myself.

I may not care for animals but perhaps it would be better for

the children if they had one.

You were just enforcing the rules.

You had no choice.

I had a choice.

It's possible I've been too rigid.

Do you think she'll survive?

You saw what it was like out there.

Assuming she does, do you have any issues

about letting her stay?

No.

I don't.

Oh.

Children, children.

We are missing a student.

We have a plan for situations like this,

everyone knows what to do.

When it is safe to go outside again,

we will proceed cautiously.

We will knock on every door and visit every medical facility

until we find her.

Are there any questions?

We will eat supper shortly.

Lights out thirty minutes after that.

I'm not hungry.

I'm not hungry, either.

No one is hungry, Mrs. Murphy.

Well, under the circumstances then, we'll skip dinner and

start again in the morning with a hearty breakfast.

I better call the police and fire departments again.

Oh, already done.

She was my buddy, Mrs. Murphy.

Mine too.

I want to start searching outside.

We shall.

But not before daylight and not on an empty stomach.

I want to start now.

It's not safe.

Is there anything I can do to help?

You can help me get a start with breakfast.

Let's fetch some potatoes from the cellar.

I'll turn on the light.

[Mrs. Murphy sobs]

Mrs. Murphy, Mrs. Murphy!

[Mrs. Murphy gasps] What is it?

Mrs. Murphy, come quickly.

Mrs. Murphy, Mrs. Murphy!

Look! It's Elizabeth.

I'll tell the other children.

Oh.

[Mrs. Murphy cries]

Oh. Are you all right?

I think so.

Why didn't you come upstairs?

Toto. You were afraid I would take him away from you?

He doesn't have anyone to take care of him.

[Dr. Edwards sighs] Thank heavens.

We were afraid that we'd... what happened?

Toto came and stopped me.

I had almost reached the tornado.

The Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman were there too.

No. Elizabeth, please. Don't.

They rode the tornado back to Oz.

And will you be seeing them again?

It's not easy traveling back and forth to Oz.

Oh.

The Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman, they don't pretend

their lives have been easy.

But they're willing to try again.

I see.

It sounds as if everyone could learn a few things from the

Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman.

You'll be leaving soon, Mrs. Murphy.

I'm going to miss you very much.

I hope you'll come back and visit often.

I will, dear.

Thank you for everything.

You've been a great help to me.

Oh, you're most certainly welcome.

[Toto barks]

Toto.

The orphanage has never had a dog.

Do you have any input on this, Dr. Edwards?

I'll stand by any decision you make.

Good.

My decision is to leave it to you.

[Dr. Edwards sighs] To me?

Well, you're going to have to make a lot of very difficult

decisions while you're here.

You may as well get started now.

Oh.

Um, well, since your concern is, uh, for the dog and not just for

yourself and, um, if we can be sure, that he doesn't belong to

someone else who's out there looking for him and if the other

children agree, then

[Dr. Edwards chuckles]

We're an orphanage, after all.

Of course we can make room for one more.

Thank you, Dr. Edwards.

Well done, Dr. Edwards.

I think you're going to do just fine.

[Dr. Edwards sighs]

We are orphans.

But we can still make a home.
