Dorothy Gale: Where did all the rest of the water go?
Dorothy Gale: Yeah, where did Kansas go? Ohh, this is some place for a chicken coop.

Ozma: Ozma.
Jack Pumpkinhead: MOM! My *real* mom!
[he faints into the crowd]
The Nome King: There's no place like home.
Mombi III: You will be rather attractive... one day. Not at all beautiful, you understand, but you have a certain... prettiness. Different from my other heads. I believe I'll lock you in the tower for a few years till your head is ready. And then I'll take it.
Dorothy: I believe you will NOT!

Dorothy: To do what you told me, Miss Wilson.
Nurse Wilson: Then, lie down.
[the attendants are strapping Dorothy to the stretcher]
Dorothy: Why do you have to tie me down?
Nurse Wilson: So that you don't fall off.

[They start to wheel Dorothy down the hall]
Dorothy: Did I hear somebody scream earlier?
Nurse Wilson: No.

Dorothy: I wish I wasn't tied down.
Dorothy: Oh no...
Billina: That's just a yellow brick.
Dorothy: No, Billina. This was the yellow brick road. It leads to the Emerald City!

[Jack does so]
Tik-Tok: Bring that mantlepiece to the desk, and then annoint the palms!
Jack Pumpkinhead: Right, annoint the-
[Jack falls due to his feet being tied]

Tik-Tok: Little girl, squaking eggs, make chicken fly the coop.
Billina: Coop?
Ozma: Why did they bring you here, Dorothy?
Dorothy: Because I can't sleep, and I talk about a place that I've been to, but nobody believes that it exists.
Lead Wheeler: You have to come out sooner or later. And when you do, we'll tear you into little pieces and throw you in the deadly desert!
Dorothy Gale: I haven't done anything to you.
Lead Wheeler: Isn't that a stolen lunch pail in your hand? Isn't that a chicken in there with you? The Nome King doesn't allow chickens anywhere in Oz!

Dr. J.B. Worley: How did they work?
Dorothy: You put them on and you click your heels three times, and you say "There's no place like home".
Dr. J.B. Worley: Dorothy, where are those slippers now?
