Scene 4:

Scene 6:
Gatekeeper: You're here to see the Great Oz?

Dorothy: What?
Lion: I dunno. (lights go off) OH! (faints)
Tinman: (kicks Lion) WIMP!!

Tinman: I don't have a heart, idiot, I can't be kind.
Dorothy: Well, you haven't killed anyone yet...(tinman raises his axe) OH! OH! Put that DOWN!
Oz: (offstage) I AM OZ!
Tinman: No duh!
Oz: SHUT UP!
Tinman: Give me a heart and maybe I shall!
Oz: Very well then. All of you. Go slay the Witch of the West, and you shall get what I telepathically know you desire.
Scene 8:
Dorothy: The Wizard's telepathic?
Scarecrow: (is trying to pull the lion behind him) Muscles. Shoulda asked for muscles. (collapses)
Tinman: Everybody here is an idiot. Goodbye, peasants! (runs offstage)
Dorothy: That may have been a favor. Oh! What the heck is that??? (points to the sky)
Scarecrow: FLYING MONKEYS!!! (runs frantically, forgetting the Lion) O dear god we're all going to die!
Monkeys: Yep! Yep!
Monkey King: SLAVES! Toss the flailing one off the cliff. Find the metal one and do the same. Pick up the furry one and enslave him, and take the one with the gingham dress and take her to Ms. West. After this we'll never see her again!
Scene 9:
Witch of the West: DOROTHY! Fetch this! And that! And this! And that thing! (pointing in random directions)
Dorothy: Yes, yes, yes, yes, god, this is boring...(picks up a bucket of water and dumps it on the Witch)
WOFW: Ah, clever girl. (melts)
Scene 10:
Dorothy: I'll dump those useless companions and go to Oz myself!
(Dorothy arrives at Oz)
Oz: Oh, where are the others?
Dorothy: Three words. Death. By. Monkeys.
Oz: Resorceful girl. I banish you to Kansas.
