Description:
The Scarecrow turns, hesitantly, to Dorothy.
Scarecrow: I don't know, Dorothy...
Dorothy: What's the matter?
Scarecrow: I was never meant to be
King... I have the brains for it, but not the
heart... Besides, the crown hurts my head and
makes it difficult to think.
The applauding assemblage steps aside to make way
for the band of heroes as they approach the trone ate
the room's end.
Dorothy: Well, who is to rule if you don't?
Scarecrow: Stay here and rule over us,
Dorothy.
Dorothy: Me?
Tin Woodman: Yes! Be the Queen of
Oz!
Everyone: Yes...Queen of
Oz! Dorothy!....Dorothy!
Dorothy waits until they grow quiet. She is
very touched and speaks softly.
Dorothy: You're the best friends
anyone's ever had. But I have to go back.
Aunt Em and Uncle Henry are worring about me.
Billina: And Toto.
Dorothy: Oh! I'd forgotten about Toto.
Here eyes brim with tears.
Dorothy: He believes in Oz, so I
can tell him all the things that have happened, and all
the wonderful people I've met.
Jack: We understand Dorothy
Dorothy: Do you? I wish I could be
in both places at the same time.
