Return to Oz Page #2

- Scarecrow?

- He's the King of Oz, Billina.

Look, Billina. It's a lunch pail tree.

What happened to breakfast?

Now I know we're in Oz.

Now, make sure

you don't pick a green one.

There's some ripe ones.

This one for now,

and this other one for later.

Come share my lunch with me, Billina.

Just a minute.

Nice couple of worms here.

I wonder what's inside.

And a ham sandwich?

I'm glad it's not fried chicken.

Oh, Billina, we're back in Oz!

Now I can show you all the people

and things that nobody would believe in.

Your Majesty, she has returned to Oz.

Good. Keep an eye on her.

What's the matter? What is it?

She has a chicken with her!

A chicken!

Where are all your friends?

Where is everybody?

I don't know, Billina. Oz is pretty big.

I don't like it. Makes me nervous.

Billina, this is our old house!

The one the tornado blew away!

- This is how I got to Oz the first time.

- Looks like it was a rough trip.

Billina, this used to be my bedroom.

And in there was the kitchen.

That's where we landed on

the Wicked Witch of the East.

- Wicked Witch?

- But where are all the Munchkins?

What are you on about, my dear?

Oh, no.

- Oh, no!

- It's just a yellow brick.

No, Billina, you don't understand.

This was the Yellow Brick Road.

It leads to the Emerald City!

Dorothy!

Wait for me!

Oh, no! What's happened?

Your Majesty,

they have discovered

the Yellow Brick Road

and are on their way

to the Emerald City.

Good. They won't get past Mombi.

Well, Billina,

that was the Emerald City.

- Not moving very fast, are they?

- They've all been turned to stone.

All this way to see a bunch of stiffs.

- What's a Wheeler?

- I don't remember them.

Look, these ones have lost their heads.

That's what I call

just plain carelessness.

Billina!

Dorothy, look out!

It's the Tin Woodsman.

Oh, Tin Woodsman, what happened to you?

What's happened to everybody?

Oh, Cowardly Lion!

Oh, Cowardly Lion,

what's happened to you?

Come here, chicken!

A Wheeler!

Billina! Billina!

Over here, Dorothy!

Quick! That way!

We've got you. You're trapped!

Chicken!

The key!

Get her!

You have to come out sooner or later.

When you do,

we'll tear you into little pieces

and throw you in the Deadly Desert!

I haven't done anything to you!

Isn't that a stolen lunch pail

in your hand?

Isn't that a chicken in there with you?

Chicken!

The Nome King doesn't allow chickens

anywhere in Oz!

- Who's the Nome King?

- "Who is the Nome King?"

"Who is the Nome King?"

Well, what are we going

to do now, Dorothy?

What is it?

I don't know.

"The Royal Army of Oz."

Army? It's just a bunch of old junk,

like the copper kettle

in the yard back home.

Look! Billina, some directions.

"For thinking,

wind number one under left arm.

"For speaking,

wind number two under right arm.

"For walking and action,

wind number three, middle of back.

"Guaranteed to work perfectly

for 1,000 years."

You don't believe that, do you?

I don't know.

I'll wind him up and we'll see.

I'll wind up his thinking first.

I wonder what he's thinkin' about.

I'll wind up his speech,

and maybe he can tell us.

Maybe he can tell us

what happened to the Emerald City.

- Good morning, little girl.

- Good morning, sir.

Are you Dorothy Gale?

- Yes, sir.

- Pleased to meet you.

I am Tik-Tok, the Royal Army of Oz.

His Majesty, the Scarecrow, locked me

in here and told me to wait for you.

What happened to the Emerald City?

Where is the Scarecrow?

I do not know. Suddenly everything

living began to turn to stone.

When you did not arrive,

I called for help until my voice ran down.

Then I paced back and forth

until my action ran down.

Then I stood and thought

until my thought ran down.

After that, I remember nothing

until you wound me up. Thank you.

You're welcome.

It was Billina who found the key.

- Billina?

- Over here.

Good morning, Mrs. Hen. Where

did you find the key for this place?

- Over near the hog trough.

- Hog trough?

- In Kansas.

- Kansas?

The Scarecrow must have

sent it to you somehow.

If you don't mind, Mr. Tok,

I'll wind up your action.

That would please me very much.

And you may call me Tik-Tok.

Why weren't you turned to stone

just like everybody else?

Because I am not alive

and never will be, thank goodness.

Well, Tik-Tok, the first thing we have

to do is to escape from the Wheelers.

They're outside, and said they're going

to throw us into the Deadly Desert.

From now on, I will be

your obedient servant.

If you keep me wound up.

Make sure my think-works are

extra tight, and I will formulate a plan.

Lunch pail.

These Wheelers can be tricky customers.

Oh, my goodness.

You run up the stairs.

I will take care of them.

Come here!

You'll be sorry for treating me like this!

I'm a terrible person!

I am only a machine, so I cannot be sorry

or happy, no matter what happens.

Where's the Scarecrow?

What's happened to the Emerald City?

Answer her!

- Answer her!

- The Nome King!

He conquered the Emerald City.

He took all the emeralds.

- He turned everyone to stone.

- What about the Scarecrow?

There's only one person

that knows where the Scarecrow is.

And that's Princess M... M... Mom...

- Princess Mombi!

- Princess Mombi?

- I don't remember her.

- Take us to Mombi.

No! No! No!

Please, let me go.

Please! Please let me go.

Please let me go! Let me go!

- All right, Tik-Tok. Let him go.

- Behave yourself, now.

I will behave. I'll behave!

Behave!

I'll be...

You behave!

Hello?

What a mess!

Come on, Tik-Tok.

This Mombi is some housekeeper.

I think it is up these stairs, Dorothy.

Excuse me, miss,

but are you Princess Mombi?

Help me to rise.

I think I'll put on

something more appropriate.

Come with me.

Your friends can stay here.

We're really looking for the Scarecrow.

I think number four will do

for this afternoon.

What do you think?

I think you're very beautiful.

I should hope so.

And just who might you be?

What are you doing here?

I'm Dorothy Gale.

Dorothy Gale?

What's happened to the Scarecrow?

Come nearer to me.

The Nome King took the Scarecrow and

all the emeralds back to his mountain.

And turned everyone else to stone.

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.

- I believe you will not!

Tik-Tok!

Billina!

I am coming, Dorothy.

Do not worry. I will save you.

You, I'll have fried for breakfast!

- Tik-Tok, help me!

- Stop!

Oh, dear. My action has run down.

This is too bad.

My fight with the Wheelers

made me run down faster than usual.

It can't be helped, Tik-Tok.

What will you do with Tik-Tok?

People will think I have a new statue.

Ha.

The Nome King's mountain.

If this is Oz, Dorothy, I'd rather

take my chances back in Kansas.

- Billina...

- What?

- If only we could just fly away, like you.
