The Wiz

Oh, hello there, honey!

- Nice to see you!

- This is my son.

How do you do?

Dorothy, this here's Gil Warren.

- Hi.

- It's so good to see you.

Don't worry, Gil.

She's just shy.

I brought you some tea.

Look! Here they come.

Come on, they're coming!

Shh.

We're getting ready

to set the table.

Take these checkers someplace else.

Here, you take these.

Come on, Henry, be careful.

Come on.

- Oh, man, you always drop the checkers when I'm...

- That's the way you win!

Toto! Toto! Toto baby!

# Put your arms around me, child #

# Like when you bumped your shin #

# Then you'll know

I love you now #

# As I loved you then #

# Though you may be

trying sometimes #

# And I need you

and you're not there #

# You know I may get mad #

# And turn away #

# But you know that I still care #

# Don't lose the feeling that we have #

# Don't lose the feeling

that we have #

# Though you're growin' older now #

# And I'm watching you grow #

# I know I make you

sad sometimes #

# And I see your feelings show #

# But one day I'll look around #

# Yeah #

# And you will be grown #

# You'll be out in the world

such a pretty girl #

# But you'll be on your own #

# And I'd like to know it's there #

# The feelin' that we have #

# Knowing that you

can come to me #

# Whenever you are sad #

# Child, I'd like

to know it's there #

# The feeling that we have #

# Don't lose the feeling

that we have #

# Don't lose the feeling

that we have #

# Don't lose the feeling

that we have #

# Don't lose the feeling

that we have #

# Don't lose the feeling

that we have #

# Don't lose the feeling

that we have #

# Don't lose the feeling

that we have #

# Don't lose the feeling ##

# Lose it #

# Lose it #

# I don't even know

the first thing #

# About what they're feelin' #

# What am I afraid of #

# Don't know what I'm made of #

# Can I go on #

# Not knowin' #

# Feelin', feelin' #

# Somethin' tells me

that it's more than I #

# Can deal with #

# Though I never knew the song #

# Some words still catch on #

# Like carin' #

# And sharin' #

# Being together #

# No matter #

# Can I go on #

# Not knowin' #

# Don't know what I'm made of #

# Why am I afraid of #

# Feelin' #

# Feelin' #

# If I dared to take a chance #

# Would someone #

# Lead me ##

Emergency snow alert is now in effect.

That was a great dinner, Emma.

- That baby!

- You're a grandpa!

- Our daughter's fine.

- Mmm.

But Dorothy.

Give her time, honey.

Give her time.

Those dishes

ain't gonna wash themselves.

Mrs. Warren's son

looks real fine, don't he?

Aunt Em, please,

no more matchmaking.

Did you make the decision

about that new school yet?

It's no decision to make.

But, honey, it's a chance

to teach in high school.

Get away from that kindergarten

once and for all. It's more money.

But besides the money, it's a chance

for you to be with older students.

Almost adults.

- I like it with the kids, Aunt Em.

- I know you do, honey.

And you're a fine teacher.

But that's why I think you'd

enjoy teachin' high school.

Have a chance to be with

the students for four years...

...such an important time

in their development.

I'm really happy

with the kids, Aunt Em.

But you been there

for three years already.

It's time you got out of that sandbox and

into some new people, new neighborhood.

Girl, do you know you're

Never been south of 125th Street?

Well, you haven't.

Oh, here we go again.

You get me so worked up...

...that I'm beginning

to sound like a Jewish mother.

I can't see how goin' south of 125th

Street ever made anybody's life better.

And you're never gonna know

unless you try, are you?

And you're never gonna know

unless you try, are you?

Come on, Aunt Em, let me do that.

Why don't you go in and relax?

I can do... Let me do that.

Listen, I know gettin' out

in that world ain't easy...

...leaving Uncle Henry and me.

But we'll always be here

for ya, Dorothy.

And whatever your fears are, well...

...they'll be defeated just

by facing up to 'em.

Now, you take that new job

and find a place for you and Toto.

It's time for you

to make a home of your own.

Toto! Oh! Toto!

Toto! Toto!

Toto!

Toto! Oh! Toto!

Toto!

Toto!

Toto!

Toto! Toto!

# La, la, la, la, la #

# La, la, la, la #

Toto! Where are you?

Toto! Toto! Toto! Toto!

Oh!

Toto, Toto.

- Toto, Toto.

- To... To... Toto!

- Toto, Toto. Toto, Toto.

- To... To... To...

- Toto! -

Toto! - Toto!

- Toto! -

Toto! - Toto!

God, where am I?

Toto! Toto!

Toto! Toto!

Two, two, two, two,

two, two, two, two!

Two, four, six, eight!

Who do we appreciate?

No! No!

- Relax, Mama!

- We just wanna lay a little thanks on ya.

- What?

- You know, heavy on the gratitude department.

- Gratitude? For what?

- For curling the curse.

- For leveling the leech.

- For killing our oppressor.

Uh! I never killed

nothin' in my life.

- Never killed the point?

- A pint?

- A good story?

- The umpire?

- No!

- Never killed no time?

No, I told you!

I never killed nothin'!

Well, then, I think you graduated...

...from the bush leagues

into the majors, girl.

Toto?

Can you dig this?

- Who is it?

- Ain't no more "is"!

Thanks to you, it's a "was"!

- She was Evermean.

- The Wicked Witch from the East.

And they didn't

call her Evermean for nothin'!

She was the parks department

commissioner!

Caught us paintin' on

her playground walls.

- Turned us into graffiti!

- And there we stayed.

- Flat, splat and stuck like that!

- Doomed as cartoons forever.

'Til you burned alphabet

through the sky and ended the curse.

- And the "curseress. "

- Givin' a new lease on life to us...

The Munchkins, most recently

referred to as the "cursees. "

Toto.

Let's hear it for

Super Witch and her Wonder Dog!

Two, four, six, eight!

Who do we appreciate?

Miss One!

Come to Mama,

you hot little digits!

Let me lay my 20-20s on ya!

Oh, how I love you!

Let me... Mmm!

Count the ways!

Oh, mmm! Mmm!

Innumerable blessings,

countless felicitations.

Thank you beyond number

and additional good stuff!

I didn't mean to...

I didn't mean to kill her.

Oh, don't be

all sixes and sevens, honey.

You did the world a multitudinous

service by 86ing ol' Evermean.

Bottom line, honey,

this chick put the "ugh" in ugly.

But she sure had pretty shoes,

didn't she? Yah!

I don't want these shoes.

I wanna go home.

I wouldn't discount

those shoes, honey.

And don't ever take 'em off

until you do get home.

Remember Miss One told ya.

Oh, pardon me.

Miss One's the name

if you haven't guessed by now.

Numbers is my game

and now that you've freed us...

we can all go back to

runnin' our business, ahem.

We can all go back to

runnin' our business.

We can all go back to

runnin' our business.

But where am I?

Where am I?

You're in Munchkin Land!

- The indivisible Land of Oz!

- Oz?

But where's my home?

Where's Aunt Em? Where's New York?
