A Movie Scene Listening, The Wizard of Oz from B1 to C2

SCRIPT:

[00:00:01 - Dorothy]

"Now, which way do we go?"

[00:00:03 - Scarecrow]

"Pardon me! That way is a very nice way."

[00:00:08 - Dorothy]

"Who said that?"

[00:00:13 - Dorothy]

"Don't be silly, Toto. Scarecrows don't talk."

[00:00:16 - Scarecrow]

"It's pleasant down that way too."

[00:00:20 - Dorothy]

"That's funny. Wasn't he pointing the other way?"

[00:00:23 - Scarecrow]

"Of course, people do go both ways."

[00:00:30 - Dorothy]

"Why... you did say something, didn't you?"

[00:00:39 - Dorothy]

"Are you doing that on purpose, or can't you make up your mind?"

[00:00:42 - Scarecrow]

"That's the trouble. I can't make up my mind. I haven't got a brain. Only straw."

[00:00:48 - Dorothy]

"How can you talk if you haven't got a brain?"

[00:00:52 - Scarecrow]

"I don't know. But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking, don't they?"

[00:00:57 - Dorothy]

"Yes, I guess you're right."

[00:01:01 - Dorothy]

"Well, we haven't really met properly, have we?"

[00:01:04 - Scarecrow]

"Why, no."

[00:01:05 - Dorothy]

"How do you do?"

[00:01:07 - Scarecrow]

"How do you do?"

[00:01:08 - Dorothy]

"Very well, thank you."

[00:01:10 - Scarecrow]

"Oh, I'm not feeling at all well. You see, it's very tedious being stuck up here all day long with a pole up your back."

[00:01:18 - Dorothy]

"Oh, dear. That must be terribly uncomfortable. Can't you get down?"

[00:01:21 - Scarecrow]

"Down? No. You see, I'm... well, I'm..."

[00:01:25 - Dorothy]

"Oh, well, here. Let me help you."

[00:01:28 - Scarecrow]

"Oh, that's very kind of you. Very kind."

[00:01:31 - Dorothy]

"Well... oh, dear. I don't quite see how I can."

[00:01:35 - Scarecrow]

"Of course, I'm not bright about doing things. But if you'll just bend the nail down in the back, maybe I'll slip off and come..."

[00:01:43 - Scarecrow]

"Oh, yes! Oh! Whoops! There goes some of me again!"

[00:01:48 - Dorothy]

"Does it hurt you?"

[00:01:50 - Scarecrow]

"Oh, no. I just keep picking it up and putting it back in again. My, it's good to be free!"

[00:01:57 - Scarecrow]

"Oh! Did I scare you?"

[00:02:00 - Dorothy]

"No, no. I just thought you hurt yourself."

[00:02:02 - Scarecrow]

"But I didn't scare you?"

[00:02:04 - Dorothy]

"No, of course not."

[00:02:06 - Scarecrow]

"I didn't think so. Boo! Scat! Boo! You see? I can't even scare a crow. They come from miles around just to eat in my field and laugh in my face. Oh, I'm a failure because I haven't got a brain."

[00:02:25 - Dorothy]

"Well, what would you do with a brain if you had one?"

[00:02:28 - Scarecrow (singing)]

"Do? Why, if I had a brain, I could... ♪ I could while away the hours, conferrin' with the flowers, consultin' with the rain. And my head I'd be a-scratchin' while my thoughts are busy hatchin', if I only had a brain. I'd unravel every riddle for any individ'le in trouble or in pain... With the thoughts you'll be thinkin', you could be another Lincoln, if you only had a brain... Oh, I could tell you why the ocean's near the shore. I could think of things I never thunk before, and then I'd sit and think some more. I would not be just a nothin', my head all full of stuffin', my heart all full of pain. I would dance and be merry, life would be a ding-a-derry, if I only had a brain. ♪"

[00:03:32 - Dorothy]

"Oh! Wonderful! Why, if our scarecrow back in Kansas could do that, the crows would be scared to pieces."

[00:03:40 - Scarecrow]

"They would? Mm. Where's Kansas?"

[00:03:43 - Dorothy]

"That's where I live. And I want to get back there so badly, I'm going all the way to Emerald City to get the Wizard of Oz to help me."

[00:03:50 - Scarecrow]

"You're going to see a wizard? Do you think if I went with you, this wizard would give me some brains?"

[00:03:56 - Dorothy]

"I couldn't say. But even if he didn't, you'd be no worse off than you are now."

[00:04:02 - Scarecrow]

"Yes. That's true."

[00:04:05 - Dorothy]

"But maybe you better not. I've got a witch mad at me, and you might get into trouble."

[00:04:10 - Scarecrow]

"Witch? I'm not afraid of a witch. I'm not afraid of anything... except a lighted match."

[00:04:17 - Dorothy]

"I don't blame you for that."

[00:04:19 - Scarecrow]

"But I'd face a whole box full of them for the chance of getting some brains. Look. I won't be any trouble because I don't eat a thing. And I won't try to manage things because I can't think. Won't you take me with you?"

[00:04:31 - Dorothy]

"Why, of course I will."

[00:04:33 - Scarecrow]

"Hurray! We're off to see a wizard!"

[00:04:43 - Dorothy & Scarecrow (singing)]

"♪ We're off to see the wizard, the wonderful Wizard of Oz. We hear he is a whiz of a wiz if ever a wiz there was. If ever, however, a wiz there was, the Wizard of Oz is one because, because, because, because, because... because of the wonderful things he does! We're off to see the Wizard, the wonderful Wizard of Oz! ♪"
