The Wiz Page #7

Hello? Hello in there!

Wait!

- Wait a minute.

- Does this look familiar?

Guess who got had?

Barnum said

there's a sucker born every minute.

I was there when he said it...

...but I never thought

I'd be one of 'em.

Phony!

You're nothing but a phony!

The Wizard's out!

He's not here!

Lies! No more lies.

You charlatan!

I've seen men shot for less.

- You're a terrible man!

- I'm sorry!

- Sorry?

- I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!

Phony!

Everything they say about me is true.

I'm a phony!

I got no right to be pretending

to be the Wiz!

I've got nothin'.

Hocus-pocus.

I'm just plain old Herman Smith

from Atlantic City.

Atlantic City?

Atlantic City?

You mean, you're from New Jersey?

Mm-hmm.

I'm just a second-rate

politician from District Seven.

"Public office is the last refuge

of the incompetent. " Penrose!

Incompetent?

Ha-ha-ha!

That's me.

I'm incompetent.

So much so, I could never

get elected to public office.

Not because I didn't try.

I tried everything.

Look, look!

I ran for everything.

Alderman, councilman,

assembly leader!

I became a laughingstock.

I couldn't even get on the ticket!

Finally, in desperation,

I ran for dogcatcher!

I like animals.

Don't get me wrong.

I was at the end of my rope.

I plunged myself into the campaign.

One desperate grandstand play.

You know what I did?

I rented a hot-air balloon!

Hot air!

That's a perfect vehicle for you.

No, no, no!

It was a beautiful

Fourth of July day!

I planned to fly over

the boardwalk and the beach...

...and throw my...

Aaah!

Throw my leaflets to

the astonished crowds below.

My motto was...

"Vote for Smith,

your best bet to catch that pet. "

But just when I got

up in the balloon...

A terrible storm came up...

...and blew me into the clouds.

I got lost.

I landed here in Oz.

They'd never seen a hot-air

balloon like mine before.

And I know I should have

told them the truth...

...but they proclaimed me

the Wizard...

...and I needed the job.

And you mean...

...you sent us to kill Evillene...

...knowing... we might

never come back?

She would've killed me.

She would've found out

I had no power, and took over Oz.

That's no excuse.

Come on.

Please, please don't go.

I live...

I live here all alone...

...in terror...

...that someone will find out...

...that I'm a fraud.

Please...

...just stay with me for

a little while and talk.

You can talk to me crazy...

...call me names.

What's the matter?

Now I'll never get my brain.

Nor my heart.

Or my courage.

But you don't need them now...

...because you've had them all along.

Scarecrow. Scarecrow?

You're the one who figured out

how to find the Yellow Brick Road...

...and how to destroy Evillene...

...and every smart move we've made.

Didn't you?

Didn't you?

And, Lion...

...you wouldn't even give up when

Evillene strung you up by your tail.

And, Tin Man...

...you have more heart

than anyone I've ever known.

Honest?

Yes.

You never needed anything

from the fake Wizard anyway.

What about you, Dorothy?

You'll never get home.

Me?

I guess you're stuck

with Toto and me.

It's Glinda,

the Good Witch of the South!

She has great powers.

Hello, Dorothy.

Please, is there a way

for me to get home?

Dorothy, you were wise

and good enough...

...to help your friends find

what was inside them all the time.

That's true for you, also.

Home?

Inside me?

I don't understand.

Home is a place

we all must find, child.

It's not just a place

where you eat or sleep.

Home is knowing.

Knowing your mind,

knowing your heart...

...knowing your courage.

If we know ourselves,

we're always home, anywhere.

You mean,

I could have gone home...

...by clicking my heels three times?

Uh-huh.

Dorothy.

Can you do something for me?

They've had what they've been

searching for in them all along.

I don't know what's in you.

You'll have to find

that out for yourself.

But I do know one thing.

You'll never find it

in the safety of this room.

I tried that all my life.

It doesn't work.

There's a whole world out there.

And you'll have to begin...

...by letting people see

who you really are.

Success...

...fame and fortune...

...they're all illusions.

All there is that is real...

...is the friendship...

...that two can share.

That's beautiful.

Who said that?

I did.

Oh, Dorothy.

I'll think of you all the time.

And I will miss you...

...every day.

Even if I had to

go back to that junk pile...

...even as Teenie's seat cushion,

I wouldn't mind...

...because I have known real love.

Oh, don't rust yourself, now.

Oh, Dorothy.

If it hadn't been for you...

I'd still be back

on that pedestal...

...afraid to live.

Me, too.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you for

being my friends.

Thank you for

being my friends.

I'm ready now.

Think of home.

Home.

# When I think of home #

# I think of a place #

# Where there's

love overflowin' #

# I wish I was home #

# I wish I was

back there #

# With the things

I've been knowin' #

# Wind that makes

the tall trees #

# Bend into leaning #

# Suddenly the snowflakes

that fall have a meaning #

# Sprinkling the scene #

# Makes it all clean #

# Maybe there's a chance

for me to go back #

# Now that I have

some direction #

# It would sure be nice

to be back home #

# Where there's

love and affection #

# And just maybe I can

convince time to slow up #

# Givin' me enough time

in my life to grow up #

# Time, be my friend #
