- # Just to ease your state of mind #
# So you lean back #
# And you drink
your glass of wine #
# Sayin' you can't win
child #
# You can't break even #
# And you can't get
outta the game #
# You can't win #
# You can't win no way
if your story stays the same #
- # You ain't winnin' #
- # Oh, no #
# But I'd like to see you
I'm awfully glad you came #
# Better cool it
'cause it ain't about losin' #
# Then the world

- # And you can't win, child #
- # No, you can't win #
- # You can't win, child #
- # No, you can't win #
- # You can't win, child #

- I'll, I'll help you down.
- What?
You will?
What's she doing here?
- Get her outta here.
- Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!
Shoo, shoo,
go on about your business.
Shoo!
Ooh!
- Just hold on.
- This is just an experiment.
The results of
the first experiment:
Subject is a hopeless failure.
- You are not.
- I am.
You're just a product
of some negative thinking.
First thing we have to do
is get rid of these crows.
Come on, Toto, sic 'em!
Shoo! Shoo!
Shoo! Before I call
the taxidermist, you turkeys!
Get off me, dog!
Good boy, Toto.
We can go now.
You okay?
Come on! Hey!
Ooh!
I think I'm gonna
make it this time.
You sure are.
Just a little self-confidence...
...and coordination.
You're gonna be fine.
You mean, all this time
the only thing standing between...
...hangin' up there
and livin' it up down here...
were those crows?
Well, they told you you couldn't do it
and you believed them.
If I only had a brain, I would have
figured that out a long time ago.
There you go with that
negative thinkin' again.
- Everybody has a brain.
- Uh-uh.
Not me, look.
Oh.
Garbage?
"Lgnorance is the night
of the mind...
...a night without moon or star. "
Confucius said that.
I'm on my way to find the Wiz.
He's gonna get me back home.
That's nice. Thank you.
Good luck.
could get you a brain.
You think that he could...
And Toto and me,
we could sure use some company.
Besides, you have nothin' to lose.
I don't, do I?
That was so smart of you!
I wish I thought of that.
Indications are it would be
very advantageous for me to join you.
Good.
Um, we only have one problem.
The Munchkins said to follow the Yellow Brick
Road, but I haven't been able to find it.
- There it is!
Hey, wait! Wait!
Did you say, "Yellow Brick Road"?
- Yes!
- Look over here!
We don't need no cabs.
- Say, what's your name?
- My name is... Dorothy.
Dorothy and Toto?
What intelligent names!
Okay, Dorothy and Toto, we're gonna have
to find our own Yellow Brick Road.
# Ease on down
Ease on dow... #
- Down the road!
- There it is!
# Ease on down #
- Oh!
- # Ease on... Down #
- Down the road!
- Oh!

# Don't you give up on walkin'
'cause you gave up shoes #
# Ease on down
Ease on down the road #

- Help!
Help!
Help?
Help? Where?
Help! Help!
Over here!
Help!
Hurry! Hurry!
- Where are you?
- Hurry, hurry, hurry!
Step right up and save a life!
Ooh! Ooh!
I'm in a little bit of a squeeze,
brother. Can you give me a hand?
Dorothy?
Oh, how terrible.
- Don't move.
- Don't worry, I wasn't planning any promenades.
We'll be right back.
Oh, he's so brave.
He's probably in shock.
Oh, what I wouldn't
give to be in shock... Just once.
I'm so... I'm so sorry.
No apology necessary. I told you
nothing hurts me. I have no feelings.
The genius who created me only
took care of my dashing good looks...
...my razor sharp wit and my irresistible
attraction to the wrong women.
What he forgot to add...
was a heart.
But... Everyone has a heart.
Alas, everyone but yours truly.
Hello!
Nobody home in Soulville.
Rid of you!
Free from your posterior prison!
You hulking she devil!
Don't hear ya laughing now.
We were abandoned here when
this park went "el foldo. "
Ah, it was a sad day.
There's not much amusement to
the closing down of an amusement park.
But yours truly is an old trooper!
I quickly made plans
for the future.
But alas, I was felled
by my 4th wife, Teenie.
Crushed in my prime!
There, how does that feel?
But that's the whole
tragic point, my friends.
# What would I do #
# And to know once again #
# That what I feel is real #
# I could cry
# I might lay back
for a while #
- # Tell me what #
- # What #
# What would I do #
# If I could feel #
# What would I do #
# If I could
reach inside of me #
# And to know
how it feels to say #
# I like what I see #
# And I'd be more #
# Than glad to share #
# All that I have
inside of here #
# And the songs
# You'd be more
than glad to sing #
# And if tears should
fall from my eyes #
# Just think of all the wounds
they could mend #
# And just think of all the time
# Just being vulnerable again #
- # Tell me what #
- # What #
# What would I do #
- # Oh, tell me what #
- # What, what would I do #
- # Oh, tell me what #
- # What #
# What would I do #
# If I could feel ##
I'm just a miserable
hunk of junk.
Me!
Once the fastest
metal mouth on the midway.
Frozen... ironically in a position
I had assumed all too often.
